Burberry Brit Red. One of those fragrances that I didn't think I'd like at first, but then I tried it on and it was a match! 
I have been interested in this house for a while -- just haven't gotten around to trying anything yet.
Today's fragrance is Balenciaga Cristobal -- I have a mini of this one. It's okay, but there are other Balenciaga fragrances I prefer over this one.

Are you in the US? I have bought from Scentsplit and Surrender to Chance, especially the later. I bought from one of the girls there when she sold on Ebay. She lived outside of Chicago and gets really great different fragrances. I think the other 3 ladies have scents from the 60's if not earlier. I got a vintage Caron Nuit de Noel from them and it spells wonderful.
Today's scent Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Apricot.
Ooh, vintage Caron Nuit de Noel.
Thanks for the suggestions. I am not familiar with Scentsplit, but I am in the US, and have ordered from Surrender to Chance before so I will check them out for Parfums de Nicolai samples.
Today's fragrance is Private Collection by Estee Lauder -- a green floral, slightly soapy, and just gorgeous.
Scent Split is good, but they're a little more expensive. Their decant bottles are higher quality than I've received elsewhere, and they send out good coupon codes once you're a customer.
I went and checked out their website. Good to know about the coupon codes. They have quite a few houses that I have been curious to try like Masque Milano, Slumberhouse and Jovoy Paris to name a few. I like that they offer decant sprays -- I definitely prefer them to the small, dab-on samples.
Currently I am on a fragrance no-buy for at least a couple of months and that includes samples (too often those samples have led to full-bottle purchases before I know it.
) However, I will likely pick up a few decants of things I've been wanting to try later this year.
Good luck! I have been trying to slow down, but the Le Labo City Exclusive event is taking place right now, and Louis Vuitton's new one for men is excellent. I thought I had figured out what I was going to be going with...until my LV SA texted me to tell me she had some samples for me.I went and checked out their website.

I'll tell you now, though, that you should be careful about waiting on the Slumberhouses. Once they're gone, there's no telling when they'll be back in stock for Scent Split to use for decants. The last time the Slumberhouse store opened, it was only open for 24 hours before he had to shut it down again due to the massive amounts of orders that he received. That was back at the end of June, and it hadn't been open for at least three or four months prior to that. There's no telling when the store will be open again or when the two other retailers in the States will get any more. I wouldn't be surprised if the Slumberhouse store isn't open again until October or November--and even then, it will probably close after 24 hours and the retailers will quickly sell out of the limited stock that they receive.
I also got an email from Krigler last week. Sample sizes are expensive. They would be worth it if you visit the store and are unsure about how a fragrance wears. Like if you love 2 it would be worth trying out a sample just to make up your mind. The good thing is that once they have your email you generally get discounts in the future.
I broke out Tom Ford Neroli Portofino today. I love this scent.
