Czech & Speake Samples

I signed up for the C&S newsletter (required) and asked for samples. They sent me vials of all 9 fragrances. Each one is attached to a bottle shaped piece of cardboard that has the list of notes on the back. I received mine in about 10 days.

I think it is great that C&S does this. I am working my way through each sample. They are not really my cup of tea though. Reminds me of some of the Penhalgon scents (which I do not care for either) but I know many of you do so you might want to try the C&S site out, sign up for the newsletter and get your free samples.

I have tried No 88, Cuba and Frankencence & Myrrh. Neroli is next.

I wish all fragrance companies did this

Happy smelling!

 

I signed up as well... How long did it take you to get yours?

 

Thanks for the tip! I can hardly wait.

 

Great information, thanks for the tip.

 

Thanks indeed! I look forward to trying them...but then I like Penhaligon's, too...

 

Thank you.

 

I don't remember exactly when I ordered it or exactly when I received it. I ordered it some days before I left for Germany and I received it while I was still gone. I am guessing 7-10 days.

Many people on Basenotes are receiving theirs within 10 days.

BTW I love the Neroli. It is very linear but smells wonderful. I never thought smelling like flowers would feel so right

 

How large are the samples? Enough for a few uses or more?

You should try JoAnna's Neroli stuff, wonderful!

 

They are the smaller 1ml vials (at least I think that is the size). I get 2-4 wearings out of these vials.

 

C&S Neroli is my absolute favorite scent. Hands down favorite. Enjoy it!

 

I only have Rose and Mimosa left. So far Neroli is my favorite. However, Cambridge and Oxford is the only one that my wife liked on me. I do like it even though I can't say I particularly like Lavender.

 

Were the "Cuba" and "88" standouts at all?

 

I was wondering the same thing..

EDIT:
MTgrayling, in another thread IsaacRN stated that C&S 88 smelled like Patchouli Rose

 

I was really hoping I would love No 88 but I don't. I will give it another try. The top notes are so over bearing for me that by the time the drydown came and I could actually smell some rose, I didn't really want the fragrance on me any more.

Cuba is very interesting. I will sample it again as well. I like the mint in it and I can definitely get the tobacco, which is nice but I didn't immediately love this scent.

The one that surprised me was the Neroli.

 

Thanks for the heads up on this I got mine in the post today

 

Excellent idea you can always filter out the newsletter with your anti-spam software.

 

I received mine yesterday.

Dark Rose was the first one I opened. I couldn't help think "old lady", I'm afraid. My young daughter loved it, so I let her wear a bit. I found the Neroli a little more appealing, richer than others of the same variety.

I'm wearing 88 today, and I must admit I like it very much.

Thanks again for the tip!

 

I havent gotten mine yet.. the 88 really intrigues me..

 

Got mine yesterday, and I'm thinking the Cuba and the 88 are tops, though Frankincense and Myrrh is nice, too...

 

I received mine on Monday, 30 March.

Postage label was marked 24 March.

I signed up on 10 March, so I guess they send the samples out in batches.

Very nice packaging and generous samples. I haven't tried them yet though...
