Category: Perfume Samples Guides

You’ve probably been there. You see a cool or fun looking perfume online, or even in a store, and rather than get a perfume sample or test it, you all in and buy it.

We call this “blind buying.” And it’s a staple of those with olfactory guts (is that even the best way to say it?).

While your nose bravado is admirable, one must question if it’s a good idea to buy a perfume you’ve never smelled.

In this guide, we’ll explore the pros and cons of blind buying, why fragrance is such a personal experience, and how sampling first can help you avoid costly mistakes and find scents you truly love.

When Raquel Bouris launched Who is Elijah, she wasn’t aiming to chase trends—she wanted to build a genderless, minimalist fragrance house that focused on creating quality scents with intention. The brand was born in Australia and grew organically through word of mouth, TikTok clips, and the occasional shoutout from someone with serious influence.

Rather than relying on flashy branding or mainstream campaigns, Who is Elijah took a quiet, cool approach—and now it’s paying off. With clean aesthetics, unisex appeal, and a modern approach to scent, the brand is slowly becoming a favorite among perfume fans looking for something that doesn’t scream, but still speaks volumes.

That means it’s officially time to usher in our spring cleaning rituals. Most people think garage clutter or closet chaos—but what about your perfume shelf?

As the heavy coats go into storage and the sun starts sticking around past 6 p.m., it’s time to rotate those cozy winter scents to the back and let the fresh, bright, spring-forward fragrances have their moment.

Fresh citrus. Dewy florals. Airy musks. You know, the kinds of scents that feel like opening the windows on the first warm day of the year. That’s the vibe we’re going for.

We understand that perfumes and fragrances can take a bite out of our pocketbooks. Perfumes are often pretty expensive, particularly in the brand name world.

But alas, if snagging a perfume sample isn’t your jam, you might consider finding perfume dupes, or economical perfumes that imitate big box fragrances.

In today’s blog, we’ll break down how to find some amazing perfume dupes.
