Just wondering if there any good sources for trying out scents in the UK. Most of those offering a good selection of samples I've stumbled across have been over the pond.
I've wandered into the fragrance departments a few times when she leaves me unattended but never really feel I've gotten anywhere. Just getting within a few yards is an onslaught on the olfactory senses. I picked up Czech & Speake and Floris samples vials last year and being able to wear the fragrance for a few days made all the difference in the world.
The other bit of advice I'm looking for, less location based, is where to start. What would be a good selection of samples that cover the main genres or scent families? I have a few scents I've picked up over the years as presents and as mentioned I've tried a few samples. Some I like, some I love, some just confuse me. I think I need to educate my nose a little before picking up full bottles.

but I much preferred the C&S offerings. I do recall being quite taken with a few of the Penhaligons I sniffed before the local store closed down here, will have a look online or pop into the London store next time I'm passing.
