Here’s How to Score a Free Perfume at Sephora
Perfume shopping can be overwhelming and expensive. Between scent overload and triple-digit price tags, it’s no wonder many women skip the perfume counter and wear the same fragrance for decades. Sephora is here to change that, with an easy and affordable way to try several designer perfumes and see which work with your body’s chemistry. The cosmetics store offers genius perfume sampler sets with various sizes of high-end perfumes (everything from Tom Ford to Dior to boutique fragrances) to try at your leisure in the real world. Find out the difference between cheap and expensive perfumes.
The best part? The kits come with a scent certificate for a free full-size perfume or cologne of your choosing. All you have to do is spray, sniff, and save money. Oh, and Sephora’s Holiday Sale runs from 11/5 to 11/9—for an extra 10 percent off the entire perfume kit. This is one gift that definitely won’t get returned. Here are the spots you should never apply perfume.
