I won't buy something I haven't smelled.  For years I wanted to try Inis because it "sounded" like a fragrance I would like.  However, I wasn't going to order it because I hadn't smelled it.  A couple of summers ago I actually sampled Inis at a gift shop.  It is now my go-to summer fragrance.  I love it and disagree with all the reviews stating it is masculine.  This goes to show you can't really order a perfume based on description or on its reviews.

The TSV is described as floral.  For that reason I won't purchase it.  However, if samples (even those cardboard sniffers) had been included in the Q packaging, say for the month of November, I might have given it a try if I liked it.

If qvc loses money on this TSV it's their own dang fault.

It would be wise for them to send out samples.  I have also suggested this in the past.  Not sure why they don't do it.

I am mystified that QVC doesn't send out samples 4-6 weeks before a TSV as that alone would sell so many more units for them.

I know when HSN includes a sample in theirs inevitably I end up buying it if it is something that I enjoy.

Dear Ladybug:

Actually, they did. I received a few  shortly after they first aired on QVC.

I still have them, but I haven't found one that I desire yet more than my regular favorites.

Sorry you never got to sample any.

Happy Holidays

I had been really intrigued by the Nest line, simply because of the beautiful drawings on the bottles. While I would never purchase a fragrance until I had had the opportunity to try it, the presentation bottles really captured my attention. 

A few months ago, I was able to try four of the Nest fragrances at Sephora. Well, that sure burst the Nest bubble. All four fragrances smelled cheap to me... like something that a home fragrance creator would create... and, of course, that's where Slatkin home fragrances all started. 

I realize fragrance is a very personal thing, so I've included the perfumes that I do wear: First (Van Cleef & Arpel), Must (Cartier), Fendi (the original one), Chloe (the original one), Narcisse (Chloe), Shalimar, and Obsession. -- I also occasionally were single fragrance extracts: AOC lavander de Haute Provence, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang.

Can you tell me anything about these fragrances and compare them closely to another scent you feel is close.  Thank you so much.

I thought they sounded interesting...so I sniffed them at Sephora.

They were too strong for me.

I think QVC considers the return policy good enough. I would never purchase these from listening to the descriptions on a home shopping network. If they sent samples I don't think they would gain customers. Many would not care for the scent just as redhead 87 indicates in the earlier post.

A274481 is a set of small samples of all the Nest scent for $36.00

"First" is my number one favorite fragrance of all time.  After that I love almost any fragrance made by Dior. @bebe777
