Have you tried https://www.luckyscent.com/samples for samples?Yeah, Coromandel is a beauty.I am curious to try the parfum version which was released this year, I think.
As for samples.......sigh. The Macys that is close to me has a pretty limited selection of even the regular lines (forget niche choices). Last time I checked, they did not have any version of No. 19 at the Chanel counter. I had to go to the Saks that is further away from me to try the current EDT. That is where I go now if I want to sample niche perfumes in person; there's also a Nordies and Neiman's in that area. But even they don't carry all the lines, like Frederic Malle for instance.
And I am thinking I should probably check out the decant sellers like Surrender to Chance for slightly larger spray samples. The samples I've currently ordered online come in these teeny tiny vials without a sprayer, and while I like dabbing my parfums, it would be nice to have the option of a larger-sized sample spray when one is testing out a perfume.
I wish I lived near their store Scent Bar.
Yes, I get many of my samples from them. Some of their samples, like the sample sets made by perfume companies (Hiram Green's 6-piece sample set comes to mind) do come with sprayers, but the individual samples they decant do not come with sprayers. Still, their samples give me a chance to sniff many niche perfumes at leisure so overall, it's a good thing.

Yes, it's a very nice floral with jasmine and honeysuckle.
By the way, how are you liking Musc Shamal? It's a recent release from their line, I think?

Purchased it yesterday at Barney's Frederic Malle Carnal Flower
Yes, the Musc Shamal came just in when I tried it and I fell in love (once again, here we go) - but as it is not a cheapy I managed to get a decanter of 10ml to test it over a longer term.
I think it is quite unisex and "dead serious"
- slightly metallic in a good way and super noble but one has to love ambrox as there is a lot in I guess
