The full picture

Sample sizes and prices

Luckyscent's standard sample is a 0.7 ml glass vial with a wand cap; some perfumes come as 1 ml sprays or 1.7 ml atomizers. Sample prices depend on the perfume and size and are shown in US dollars on each product page, next to the full-bottle price. Scento sells 2 ml, 5 ml and 8 ml vials plus a 30 ml bottle decant on most perfumes, from €4.41, so each size is larger than Luckyscent's standard sample. Compare perfume by perfume and size by size.

Authenticity and returns

Luckyscent guarantees that orders arrive safely and with all new, original packaging. Its policy states that all sales of samples are final and that sample orders typically do not have tracking numbers. Scento hand-pours each decant from an original full-sized bottle sourced through authorised European retailers, and offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Shipping to Europe

Luckyscent is a US retailer that lists 25 countries it ships to, including Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands; Austria, Belgium, Czechia and Finland are not on the list.

Which one suits you?
