About Our Samples
What is a perfume sample?
A perfume sample is a smaller amount of fragrance prepared from the original bottle, allowing you to test the scent before buying a full-size bottle.
It is a practical way to discover new perfumes, compare different fragrances, and avoid blind buying.
Are these original perfumes?
Yes. Our samples are decanted from original fragrance bottles.
Hidden Samples is an independent seller and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the brand owners. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Is the full-size bottle included?
No. Each listing is for a perfume sample only. The full-size bottle is not included.
What size are the samples?
Our perfume samples are 2ml spray vials, ideal for testing a fragrance properly before deciding whether a full-size bottle is right for you.
How many sprays are in a 2ml sample?
A 2ml sample usually provides around 30 sprays, depending on the sprayer and how much you apply each time.
That is enough to wear the fragrance, compare it with others, and see how it develops on your skin.
Are the samples labeled?
Yes. Every 2ml vial is cleanly labeled with the perfume name and bottle image, so you know exactly what you are wearing. No scribbles, no guessing.
Are fragrance tester strips included?
Yes. We include free fragrance tester strips with every order, so you can test and compare your samples more easily and safely.
Discovering Fragrances
Why buy perfume samples instead of a full bottle?
Perfume samples let you smell before you splurge. You can test a fragrance on skin, compare it with other scents, and see if it truly fits your taste, mood, and lifestyle.
No more blind buys. Try it first, fall for it later.
What kind of perfumes do you offer?
We focus mainly on Arabian and niche fragrances, including popular brands such as Lattafa, Afnan, Armaf, Al Haramain, Swiss Arabian, Rasasi, French Avenue, and more.
Our catalog includes bestsellers, trending scents, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
How should I test a perfume sample?
You can start by spraying the fragrance on a tester strip, then try it on clean skin to experience how it develops over time.
Perfumes can change from the opening to the dry-down, and performance may vary depending on skin type, weather, and application.
Can I wear a fragrance even if it is listed as masculine or feminine?
Yes. Gender labels are only a general guide. Fragrance is personal, and many customers enjoy scents outside traditional masculine or feminine categories.
Will every perfume always be available?
Not always. Our catalog is constantly evolving. Some fragrances become permanent favorites, while others may be rotated out to make room for new discoveries.
If a sample is unavailable, it may return in the future, but we cannot guarantee restocks for every fragrance.
Shipping
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping thresholds depend on your shipping destination and checkout currency.
For main destinations, free shipping is available from €25 in most European countries, £25 in the United Kingdom, and $35 in the United States.
You can see the exact shipping cost and free shipping threshold at checkout or in our Shipping Policy.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders are processed and shipped on the next business day, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Delivery times depend on the destination and are calculated from the date your order is shipped, not from the date the order is placed.
You can find estimated delivery times in our Shipping Policy.
Will my order have tracking?
Orders to the United States are delivered by USPS with tracking.
For other destinations, tracking availability depends on the shipping destination, order size, and shipping format available at checkout.
Will my order be delivered to my mailbox?
Most standard sample orders are shipped in compact, mailbox-friendly packaging designed to fit most standard mailboxes.
In many cases, the postal worker may leave the package directly in your mailbox without prior notice or in-person handover. Please check your mailbox regularly after your order has been shipped.
What happens if my order takes longer than expected?
If your order has not arrived within the estimated delivery window, please first check your mailbox carefully, as most standard sample orders are designed for mailbox delivery.
If the order still cannot be located, contact us at hiddensamples.info@gmail.com with your order number and we will review the case.
When needed, our first solution is usually to resend the order so you can receive and enjoy the samples you selected.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship to many international destinations. Available shipping options, costs, and free shipping thresholds are shown at checkout.
Orders, Returns and Refunds
Can I modify or cancel my order?
If you need to modify or cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible at hiddensamples.info@gmail.com.
We may be able to make changes or cancel the order if it has not yet been prepared for dispatch or shipped.
Can I return perfume samples?
Returns may be accepted only if the samples are unused, unopened, and in their original packaging and condition.
For hygiene, safety, and product integrity reasons, opened, used, sprayed, or tampered-with perfume samples cannot be returned.
You can find more details in our Return and Refund Policy.
Can I get a refund if I do not like the scent?
We do not offer refunds or replacements based on personal scent preference, performance, longevity, or similarity expectations.
Perfume perception is subjective, and the purpose of our samples is to help you test a fragrance before purchasing a full-size bottle.
What should I do if an item arrives damaged or incorrect?
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible at hiddensamples.info@gmail.com with your order number and a photo of the package and its contents.
We will review the issue and offer a suitable solution when appropriate.
