The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 26 July 2017 20 Comments

Berdoues samples

Before you shell out for all the pretty bottles, perhaps try the Berdoues Collection Grands Crus Coffret, with 2 ml samples of Scorza di Sicilia, Selva do Brazil, Somei Yoshino, Vânira Moorea, Assam of India, Arz-el-rab, Oud Al Saharaa and Russkaya Kozha. $19 at Sephora.

    That’s a good one and many pretty fragrances to discover inside this box 🙂

      Yes, although if you do live near a Sephora, you can also go in and try them all for free! Although I actually don’t know how many Sephoras actually have them all in stock in the brick & mortar stores.

        I think they are only sold online and not in any of the stores.

          I thought Sephora usually put an “online only” on the website when that was true? But they aren’t sold in my local store, that’s for sure.

            I remember when they first came out and that was exactly what it said “online only”….maybe now they are in stores? If so, not in my local Sephora 🙁

            The website claims they’re now available in stores, but not within 100 miles of New York City, Los Angeles, or Washington, D.C., so I wonder if that’s true.

    Holy crappa!!!! i want them , just for the mini boxes alone 🙂 They would match the four full size bottle/boxes we have at home of Vanira Moorea, Oud al Saharraa, Arz el Rab and Assam of India.

      That makes it $20 for 4 samples though! Unless you *really* want those boxes 😉

        I thought it was all eight for 19 dollars which makes it a decent price as they are 2ml each.

          Right, but meant you already own 4 so only need to sample 4! But hey, do not mean to be talking out out of it 🙂

            On no please…be the voice of reason for me!!!!…cause I actually have samples or have drained samples of seven (the only one I have not tried is the Russkaya)…..although ede makes a good point below that these could be used for stocking stuffers 🙂

    I wish that more lines would consider doing this. The Berdoues Grand Crus line is a good one. While not particularly innovative, the fragrances are well done and easy to wear. Assam of India is a hot weather favorite for me, and I’ve had Selva do Brasil on my wishlist for a while now.

    I just placed a Sephora order a few days ago – would 100% have bought this if I knew it was there!

    That seemed too good to pass up, so I just ordered one.

    Just placed an order for this set. Looking forward to trying Assam of India, I wonder how similar it is to Escale a Pondichery.

    I wanted this, perfect size to try all the fragrances and my “completist” nature loves to do that. Hope it appears on ebay because i doubt brazillian sephora will have it.
