Do you have one? If so, what is it that you like about it?
I have a sample box of perfume from Saltworks. It's clever marketing, but the idea is that you buy sample boxes at varying prices. Each box comes with little vials of scent - ten per box, plus a voucher with a value that depends on how much you paid for the samples - the more you pay, the higher the discount. You try them out and decide which you prefer, and then trade in your voucher for ether a full bottle of your favourite, or a few travel sizes. They make good gifts if you don't know what the recipient would like, and there is a booklet with notes about each of the scents - a bit like wine tasting cards 
.
I'm working through the scents now to see which one to order, and it's got me thinking of favourites over the years. I loved Chanel 19 for a long time, and Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir, but tried a few different ones that I got as presents or in duty free shops.
I liked the freshness of the 19 when I was younger, and the deeper, woodier notes of the PN later on. I've always liked patchouli/musky/vanilla scents, and am veering towards those with those notes in my sample box.
What about you? Do you stick to a particular scent, or chop and change as you find new ones?
JamesandJon33 Avon topaze used to come in all sorts of bottle shapes, the one I remember was shaped like the old dispenser bottles they used to have on chemist's shelves, but obviously in miniature size.
I was once given Givenchy 'Interdit' as a Christmas present by our best man, who always had a thing for me, I think he was trying to tell me something!
