Choosing fragrance samples & discovery sets is a trade-off: do you want a small, edited introduction, a defined collection, or as many scent directions as possible? The right choice depends on whether you are exploring niche perfume samples, building a travel fragrance rotation, or choosing small gift favors. Here is the short route: Bloomingdale's offers an edited introduction, Vilhelm Parfumerie centers on a defined lineup, the ScentSplit/LuckyScent lot mixes niche names, and the women's designer set emphasizes quantity.
Quick take

Product notes
Bloomingdale's Fragrance Discovery Edit
Bloomingdale's Fragrance Discovery Edit Luxury & Niche Fragrance Samples Choice makes sense when you want a named mix of niche and luxury scents in travel-size form rather than a single fragrance house. The selection includes Penhaligon's Luna, MIND GAMES Queening, Mancera French Riviera, Vilhelm Mango Skin, Le Labo Santal 33, Byredo Desert Dawn, House of Bo Casa Blanca, and Initio Narcotic Delight. House of Bo Casa Blanca Parfum is identified at 0.06 oz. That breadth is the reason to choose it. The limitation is format: the fragrances are sold individually, so the choice is not presented as one fixed multi-sample bundle.
Vilhelm Parfumerie Fragrance Discovery Set
Vilhelm Parfumerie Fragrance Discovery Set suits shoppers who want a defined fragrance-house collection rather than a mixed lot. The six 0.06 fl oz sprays cover Morning Chess, Dear Polly, Room Service, Mango Skin, Basilico & Fellini, and Poets of Berlin, with scent descriptors including bergamot, citrus, floral, jasmine, rose, sandalwood, vanilla, and white musk. Spray formulation is a clear reason to choose it if you prefer that application style, and Long Lasting is called out as a feature. Its limitation is scope: six fragrances create a narrower browsing field than the larger sample lots, so this set favors focus over maximum assortment.
ScentSplit/LuckyScent Niche Sample Lot
Lot Of 11 Authentic Niche & Luxury Fragrance Samples ScentSplit LuckyScent 1mL is aimed at shoppers who want names from several fragrance houses in one assortment. It brings together eleven 1 mL samples, including three LuckyScent sprays and eight ScentSplit mini dab samples. The lineup includes Diptyque Tam Dao, American Authors City on Fire, Comme des Garçons Wonderwood, Nishane Ani, Kilian Angel's Share, Byredo Animalique, Byredo Ethereal Wave, and Liis Woo(e)d; woody and vanilla themes are also called out. Choose it for breadth and niche-oriented browsing. The limitation is the mixed dispensing format: sprays and dab samples are combined rather than uniform.
Women's Designer Perfume Sample Set
24 x Women's Designer Perfume Samples Set Lot is the count-led choice for shoppers who want many individual fragrance directions in one purchase. It contains 24 authentic designer perfume vials in spray formulation, with scent references spanning bergamot, cherry, citrus, floral, jasmine, oud, patchouli, rose, sandalwood, vanilla, white musk, and ylang ylang. That combination makes it a fit for comparing a wide scent vocabulary or preparing small gifts. The limitation is presentation: vials are marked "Sample - Not for Sale," and some may appear partially filled because alcohol-based products are subject to FDA regulations. The set is also described for travel, purses, gym bags, and gift favors.
Final recommendation by use case
- Lowest listed price: choose Bloomingdale's Fragrance Discovery Edit for its named niche-and-luxury selection and travel-size presentation.
- A defined fragrance collection: choose Vilhelm Parfumerie for its six-scent lineup and spray format.
- Niche exploration across mixed formats: choose the ScentSplit/LuckyScent lot for its 11 1mL samples and woody or vanilla themes.
- Travel or gift favors: choose the Women's Designer Perfume Sample Set for its 24 spray vials and stated carry-along uses.
The practical choice is to decide whether you want curation, a focused collection, mixed-format browsing, or a larger assortment before comparing the price alone.
