Since there's no SmellOvision

[ Edited ]

Wouldn't it be nice if QVC could include little scented cards with either our orders or our bills?  Think of the cards that are included in the department store bills or in magazines.  I can go to Ulta to smell the Philosophy, but I'm curious to know what Tova smells like. (At least she sure looks like she's enjoying the stuff!) I do not want to have to spend several dollars on shipping just to smell something that I may not keep.

I've worn Tova Sig. & Platinum for over 20 yrs and I love it. But I was given a few amazing grace items as gifts recently and I'm a new fan. If you're familiar with AG then you'd probably like Tova as well. They're both very light and AG stays with me. Other people can smell the Tova that mi wearing and I get compliments every time I wear it.

I hate those cards in my department store bills, in magazines, etc.  I'm not sure how it would work for a mass mailer, but I'd like to opt out totally from any unrequested scents in my orders and mail.

 

I don't buy much online, but I'll be buying even less when more companies add scents gratutitously.

In my humble experience with those cards and such; they do not give you the whole picture of a fragrance. You have to spray it out on yourself or you will never ever really know how your body will react to it. Headaches for instance. 

My thoughts are just listen to what is in it and if the idea of it sounds good go for it! You only live once! If you want to experience Tova go for it! She has a website that you can get smaller 1 oz of her scents and they are very reasonable! Actually cheaper than some drugstore brands!  Have you ever heard of Marilyn Miglin? You've gotta try hers too! Just take the plunge and try them; suprise yourself!

I know, I also hate buying a fragrance without trying it first and would love to be able to sample QVC fragrances. But I believe that they should only send those things out by request.

Many of us have serious allergies or reactions to things like that. Sometimes I get those mailers and I can't read the magazine they came in because it triggers a reaction in me. I'm allergic to lavender. If QVC sent me a package with Tova in it and the lavender caused me to have an asthma attack, I'd be really mad. If the Tova scent got on something I purchased, like shoes or a household item I could not wash, I would be unable to wear or use the item at all. I'd have to send it back and I would make them pay the return shipping AND be super mad and maybe not order anything else from them if I couldn't trust that future shipment would not trigger such a reaction.

 

You have to be careful when you send people things they did not request, especially chemicals and fragrances that can trigger poor health reactions.

 

I would prefer it if QVC sold a sampler of all the fragrances they sell. Sephora has similar kits where you get a tester size bottle of various fragrances and a coupon good toward X number of dollars off your next fragrance purchase.
