I really need to stop purchasing all these small fragrance samples just to try them out. They’re becoming expensive, and most of them have been quite disappointing lately. I live far away from most big cities so this is my only option to avoid expensive mistakes. I have probably bought about ten or twelve in the last month alone. The most recent one, Frédéric Malle's The Moon, turned out to be yet another rose and oud combination — something I’ve encountered countless times before.
