Coveting that Hermès set…
Ditto, as well as the JM and SJP and…
I still need to get myself to Ulta and try Stash!
Just do it already! I haven’t bought a FB yet, but will do so within about a week. It will instantly be on my best of 2016 list.
I know, I know! But hate Ulta and also hate going down the strip mall highway…eventually, I’ll do it.
It looks so darned cheerful, doesn’t it?
Yes!!!
There’s a lovely Diptyque discovery set available for $115 from a bunch of different retailers – 7.5 ml sprays of 5 different scents. I . . . may have purchased it for myself as a reward for hosting Thanksgiving.
Ha, might you have? Enjoy, and thanks!
Worth attention are also Le Galion miniatures, they’re 6,5ml splash bottle each.
Thanks Lucasai!
I wish the set was still available. Per Twisted Lily, the sets are no longer being made. Anyone with info on where this may be a available, please post it here (but email me so I can place my order first
I think that travel set of spray vials with a travel case is exclusive to Colette in France
As I keep mentioning, I like the April Aromatics discovery set.
It’s available at Luckyscent, which has many other interesting sets. They’re not all listed in one place, though. You have to try different search terms or look at each brand page. I noticed that Bloomingdales at Tysons has the Penhaligon’s mini sets, at least they do at Tysons.
Bulgari does a set of travel sprays for Le Gemme. I’ve only tried Ashlemah, which was something like Prada Infusion d’Iris but warmer and with more musk. Worth a sniff if you like big feminine perfumes.
Yes, and also, the April Aromatics Chakra set looks like great fun, esp. for anyone really into yoga.
Ah, I haven’t tried that yet. That does sound like fun!
The Jo Loves Discovery Set comes with a Shot Box of 9 atomizer samples and a coupon for either a 50 or 100 mL bottle. The 50 mL version is $160. I will find out redemption instructions once I receive my package.

Thank you!
I got my Jo Loves Discovery Set! The atomizer samples look just like the ones for Jo Malone. I have 3 options to redeem the certificate for one 50 mL bottle: online, via phone or in-person. Shipping is free! If I’m anywhere near the London boutique at the end of the month, I may just pick it up in-person!
Oh lovely — and do you like any of the scents?
I will try them over the weekend and report back on the LWP thread!
Excellent, thanks.
