There's no doubt about it, perfume sample sets make a lovely Christmas present. Here's my pick of the bunch, ranging from quite economical to absolutely lavish.
The Bond No 9 Bon-Bon Box is covetable for its multi-coloured sweetie-paper packaging alone. This set of 18 different 6ml samples will set you back an enormous $260. This isn't actually bad value at only $2.40 per ml, but it's a hefty investment.

The Ormonde Jayne Discovery Set includes 12 samples of 2ml each, for a bargainous £42, which is £1.75 per ml. As a fan of Ormonde Jayne, this is a great set to own.
, For devotees of Penhaligon's you could try the economical Scent Library for £15. It includes 10 samples of both male and female Penhaligon's fragrances. The samples are probably 2ml sizes, which gives a price of £1.33 per ml.
Make your own selection of Tauer perfumes to create a unique Discovery Set at $31.30. This is pretty pricey at more than $4 per ml, but as Tauer creates some truly distinctive fragrances, this might well be worth the investment.
At the luxury end of the market, the Clive Christian Traveller Sample Set includes 3 fragrance samples in 10ml sizes bottles. For the total price of $310, that's just under $1 per ml, which is less than half the price of the Bond No 9 samples. You just need to make sure that this gift recipient likes at least one of these Clive Christian scents.
At Hermes you can select 4 perfumes to create a bespoke coffret of 15mls samples from a total of seven Hermessence fragrances. At €100 this works out at pretty good value for €1.66 per ml. And finally, the Parfumerie Generale collection of 20 perfumes for €430. The sample size is 15ml so this works out at excellent value: €0.69 per ml.

Thanks for the tip for the PG kit, never saw that before, I need to get that on my list!
p.s. emailed you about a swap :)
I bought a Bond box about two years ago . I am still using them as I have so many fragrances. I love any box full of gorgeous little bottles of fragrance. The Amouage sets are good as the fragrance works out cheaper but you have six female/six male ( I wear them all).
Have always wanted to try out the Scent Library fragrances! These sets are a great way to get a sense of a fragrance range in its entirety! Will make the perfect Christmas present- to myself ;) x
Hi Olfactoria - the PG collection is on my list too.
Hi Angela - Interesting that you've got several sets. I'm sorely tempted by the Bond No 9 collection - but it is expensive.
Hi Viola - I had the scent library for a while but swapped it for something a while back. It's very affordable, which makes it an easy buy.
Im sure all would be picking among this small perfume collections for their wishlist. They look like kisses chocolates in my eyes. What a very good post! Again!
those are all lovely! I have the OJ and Penhaligon's ones but they look ace
Hi Rose,
There's something really tempting about a box of small bottles. In some ways more appealing than a full bottle of one thing.
Wow! I think that was a nice perfume sample sets and its more convenient to use so cute in their own way.
