Now that I think of it, didn't they start to encase the perfume samples in little peel off pouch like squares? You could peel off the top portion and swipe on your wrist?
I think those were better. I miss getting magazines, but found I just reached an age where the ones I had been njoying for years, were just too young for me and I couldn't relate to what they were showing anymore. In-Style was a favorite but I guess I just out-grew it.

This is one of the reasons I quit most of my magazine subscriptions. That and the fault they have moved on with their styles, I guess I haven't.

Several years ago I subscribed to Cosmopolitan, I called their customer service and was able to subscribe to their magazine without the perfume inserts.. sure made a difference with my allergic rhinitis..

I guess they don't have "scratch-and-sniff" any more?

I like that Cosmo still offers that! I wrote one of my mags to ask about a scent-free version and, while they did not have that option, they did extent my subscription for the inconvenience. But then I noticed that they really dropped off with the perfume cards, so it has worked out well.
I have also quit a couple of magazine expressly due to the perfume cards. I have asthma and they really take me down.
Oddly, one of them kept sending me issues. I contacted them again asking how the heck I can cancel this subscription. They said that I would not get any money back. I told them I did not care about that and I totally understand that, but please cancel and they finally did.

The peel-away samples on one page still penetrate the other magazine pages.
I have to hang the magazines outside to 'air out', 'but still'..............
Probably better to encase the samples in clear plastic, all together.

When I had a subscription to O magazine I did contact Customer Service and they sent me magazines with no samples and it was great. I dont get that anymore or any magazine. I dont buy them in a store either, I just go to the Magazine websites

The customer service website of most magazines has a link to request perfume sample-free issues. I subscirbe to Good Housekeeping and Country Living and have utilized the request link on both. Now if I could get Ulta, Macy's and JCPenney to stop including them in their circulars. Those usually end up in the garbage bin and don't make it in the house.
