Free Perfume Samples
Try perfume and cologne from brands that want honest reviews from people who actually wore it.
If you've been wondering how to get free perfume samples that are worth your time, SamplePact matches you with fragrance brands that want honest reviews on their own websites. We're signing people up ahead of our launch, so if you join now and pick fragrance, we'll email you as soon as fragrance brands start their campaigns.
It's free to join, and we won't ask for a card when you sign up.

Fragrance Products Brands Might Send
What's on offer depends on which brands run campaigns, so this list shows the kinds of products that fit the category. Each offer tells you exactly what you'd get before you accept.
Perfume and eau de parfum
How the scent opens, how it changes through the day and how long it lasts on your skin.
Cologne and eau de toilette
Lighter scents where freshness, projection and staying power are the big questions.
Travel sprays and rollerballs
Small sizes where the applicator and how well it travels matter as much as the scent.
Body mists and hair mists
Softer scents where people want to know how long the fragrance hangs around.
Solid perfume
Balms and sticks where texture and how easily it applies are part of the story.
Discovery and sample sets
A few scents at once, so you can say which ones you'd actually buy.
Scented body care
Lotions and washes that share a fragrance, where the scent and the feel both count.
Free Cologne Samples
Cologne is part of the same category, so if you'd rather try fresher or more traditionally masculine scents, pick Fragrance when you sign up and you'll hear about cologne campaigns as well as perfume. Each offer describes the scent and its size before you decide.
Whichever you prefer, the deal is the same: you get the bottle or sample to keep, and the brand gets an honest review on its own website, whether you loved it or it just wasn't for you.
Reviews Fragrance Brands May Ask For
Scent is hard to describe, so fragrance brands usually ask for text, and a good review gives the next shopper words to imagine it with. Some brands may also ask for a photo of the bottle or a short video.
Fragrance often changes over a few hours, so it's worth wearing it on more than one day before you write about it. Brands set a review window of 7, 14, 21 or 30 days, starting when the package is delivered, and you'll see it before you accept.
Reviews go on the brand's own website only, and never on Amazon, Google or any other store or review site.
How to Write a Useful Fragrance Review
- Describe how it smelled when you first sprayed it, an hour later and at the end of the day.
- Say how long it lasted on your skin and whether people around you noticed it.
- Compare it to scents you already know, if that helps readers picture it.
- Mention the season or occasion you think it suits best.
- Say that you received it free.
How Matching Works for Free Perfume Samples
Pick Fragrance in step one of the sign-up form, and brands will be able to reach you based on your category, age range, gender and location.
Sign-up doesn't ask which scents you like, so read each offer to see what the fragrance is and who it's made for, and pass on anything that doesn't sound like you.
Where to Get Free Perfume Samples Besides SamplePact
SamplePact is one way to try new fragrances, and it's built around writing an honest review in return. If you're shopping in person, it never hurts to ask at a fragrance counter whether they have a small sample you can take home, and it's worth checking whether the brands you already like offer samples or sample sets on their own websites.
If you have sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, try a new scent on a small area first, or spray it on clothing instead, and stop wearing it if it irritates your skin.
How Free Perfume Samples Work on SamplePact
The deal is the same in every category, so you get a free product and, in return, you post an honest review on time.
Step 1: Sign up and pick your categories
Fragrance is already selected in the form below, so just add any other categories you'd like, then tell us about yourself and the kinds of reviews you'll write.
Step 2: Get an offer that fits
When a fragrance brand's campaign matches your profile, we'll email you the product, its regular price, the review format and the deadline.
Step 3: Accept and get it shipped
If you want it, accept the offer and add a card, and the brand ships the product to you at no cost.
Step 4: Post an honest review
Post on the brand's own website before the deadline, in the format they asked for, and mention that it was free. The brand publishes it whether it's good or bad. Your review window starts when the package is delivered.
Plain and upfront
How the Card on File Works
You'll add a card when you accept a product. Once it arrives, you can post your review or send the product back, and either way you're never charged. If you keep it without reviewing, you pay the product's regular price.
Your rating and what you write never affect whether you're charged; the only thing that counts is whether you posted your review, or sent the product back, by the deadline.
No card at sign-up
Signing up is free and doesn't ask for a card. You'll only add one when you accept your first product.
You see the price first
Every offer shows the product's regular price before you accept, and that's the most you'd ever pay if you kept a product without reviewing it.
The money goes to the brand
If you keep a product without reviewing it, the charge goes to the brand that sent it, to pay them back for a product that didn't turn into a review.
Only accept what you can review
If a deadline doesn't work for you, just pass on the offer, because turning one down never costs you a thing.
If you'd rather send it back
If you'd rather not review a product, you can send it back instead. It can come back in any condition as long as you return the whole product, and you pay the return shipping. Ship it with tracking to the return address in your account before your deadline, and you won't be charged once the tracking shows it's on its way.
If a package is late, lost or damaged
Once campaigns start, you'll have a "Report a delivery problem" button in your account, and one tap lets both SamplePact and the brand know. Your review deadline pauses while it's being sorted out, and you're never charged for a package that never arrived.
The full rule is in the draft reviewer terms, which you'll agree to before you accept your first product.

Free Perfume Samples FAQ
How do I get free perfume samples?
Sign up for free and pick Fragrance as one of your categories. When a fragrance brand runs a campaign that fits your profile, we'll email you an offer that shows the scent, its size and its regular price, and if you accept, the brand ships it to you.
Where can I get free perfume samples?
With SamplePact, the samples come straight from fragrance brands that want honest reviews on their own websites. You can also ask at a fragrance counter when you're shopping in person, or check whether your favorite brands offer samples on their own sites.
Are free perfume samples full size?
That depends on the brand, because some send a full bottle and others a travel spray or sample set, but each offer shows exactly what you'll get and its regular price before you accept.
What if I don't like the scent?
Then say so in your review, kindly and honestly, because that's useful for the next shopper too. Brands agree to publish every review, whatever the rating.
Is free product testing really free?
It really is. The product and its shipping cost you nothing, and there's no fee to join. The only time you'd ever pay is if you accept a product and then keep it without posting your review or sending it back by the deadline, in which case you'd pay the product's regular price and that money goes to the brand that sent it. Your rating and what you write never affect whether you're charged; the only thing that counts is whether you posted your review, or sent the product back, by the deadline. Taxes may apply to products you receive, and the reviewer terms explain more.
Do I have to give a good review?
Not at all, so just write what you actually think. Brands agree to publish every review regardless of rating, and no brand can ask you for a certain star rating.
When would I be charged?
Only if you accept a product and keep it without posting your review or sending it back by the deadline, in which case you're charged the product's regular price. Your rating and what you write never affect whether you're charged; the only thing that counts is whether you posted your review, or sent the product back, by the deadline.
Who can sign up?
Anyone who's 18 or older with a US shipping address can join. Sign-up asks for your ZIP code and state so brands know where they'd be shipping.
