This is a teeny tiny amount of perfume, not the deal I expected for having to pay shipping. I don't usually go for those offers that make me pay the shipping, especially not $2.95, since I know most samples don't cost $2.95 to ship. But I figured I'd go for this one because the site looks like someone whose made her own scent, so I thought that it might be a nice-sized sample for $2.95 shipping. But alas, it's not. It's one of those sample perfume vials, filled only about a third of the way. So for value on this one, I say don't go for the free sample, unless you are all right with that, as there are lots of other perfume samples that will ship for free. On the up side, if you end up being really interested in the scent, they send you a code for 50% off a purchase of the fragrance and $2.95 off your shipping cost, so you could get reimbursed for the free sample, if you ended up wanting more.
As for the perfume: Like I said, it appears to be from an independent creator, coming in a puffy envelope with a product sheet printed off an inkjet and signed in pen by AzureRae Turner, the Founder and Product Designer. So that's cool; it's not a corporate product. As an advantage, as well, it's a very clear perfume, which always makes me happy when my perfume gets spritzed onto my clothes accidentally; I always assume the clear liquids are less likely to damage the fabrics, which could be a total conjecture, but I'm okay with not knowing.
The test: The scent is a bit of a light floral feel, very clean and crisp, not powerful, just simple and fresh. If you're a real "scent" person, I feel you would need to use a lot for this to pop out, but if you like light, sweet, soft fragrances, a little will work for you. It almost falls into the category of a fresh cotton or linen laundry detergent or powdery-scented deodorant, like it's not quite perfume-y, just really clean... so basically like you took a shower today. I don't feel like the scent would last all day, but it's simply fresh, soft, and clean while it lasts.
