We all love free stuff and perfume is no exception! Fortunately for us, many of the major fragrance houses offer free samples whenever they launch a new fragrance. I tend to keep an eye out for these promotions for myself so I thought it would be a nice idea to list any free giveaways I find on this page.
I update this page whenever I find new samples so bookmark it or even better, subscribe to inScents, my free perfume newsletter, and I'll let you know whenever I add new links to this page or run promotional giveaways of my own. Enjoy! *

Escada Desire Me
Escada Desire Me is a follow up to Incredible Me, the 2008 floral oriental release from Escada. Desire Me retains the same 'edible' base note of Tiramisu but has added emphasis on the rich chocolate, orchid and honeysuckle notes to create a more sensual fragrance. FYI - the current sample form shows both Desire Me and Incredible Me. I'm not sure about the availability of Incredible Me but it's worth a try.
Avril Lavigne Black Star
Black Star is a fruity floral fragrance that combines the delicate scents of the pink hibiscus flower with black plum and dark chocolate. Definitely one for the young or young at heart, but don't be put off if your're not an Avril fan. Black Star is produced by Proctor & Gamble who also produce Escada, Hugo Boss and Lacoste Fragrances so give this a try.
BOSS Orange
Chances are you've already seen the advert on TV for BOSS Orange featuring Sienna Miller. BOSS Orange takes its inspiration from the carefree BOSS Orange designer label and is described as "warm, complex and inviting". Orange opens with fruity notes of crisp apple and peach with a white floral heart and a creamy vanilla woody base. Sounds like a good one for summer - seeing as we actually seem to be having a summer this year.
Lacoste Challenge
Challenge is the new men's fragrance from Lacoste. This fun and energetic scent with its tennis racquet handle shaped bottle challenges you to "never resist the call of the game". Citrusy top notes combined with ginger provide a punchy vitality which settles to a rich woody base.
Valentino Rock 'n Dreams
Following on from the success of the popular Rock 'n Rose, Rock 'n Rose Couture and Rock 'n Rose Pret-a-Porter range, Valentino has released Rock 'n Dreams. Described as "oriental, woody and distinctive, with a soft, delicate character", Rock 'n Dreams contains notes of peach and cinnamon with Myrrhone (derived from myrrh and iris) on a base of vetyver and vanilla.
Halle by Halle Berry [US Only]
Halle's first fragrance (and most probably not her last) is described as a modern and sensuous woody oriental incorporating some of her favourite ingredients such as mimosa and fig. A free sample is currently available on the official website but unfortunately this is for US residents only.
Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Collection [US Only]
SJP has launched her latest range, the Lovely Collection consisting of three new fragrances, Dawn, Endless and Twilight. The good news is that free samples are available on the official website. The bad news is that samples only seem to be available in the US - boooo! I'm still searching for free samples here in the UK and will update the site if I find anything.
Ghost Sweetheart
Sweetheart is a new modern oriental floral fragrance from Ghost. Like the original Ghost before it, it has a strong vanilla base but as the name suggests, is very sweet like candyfloss. Note - I received my free sample from this site yesterday (15 November 2008) so it looks like samples are still available but as always, register soon to avoid disappointment.

Inspire is the latest white floral fragrance from this mega popstar. Combining fruity top notes with freesia, rose, tuberose and fragipani for a fragrance that's classic and enduring.

Lacoste Touch of Pink & Love of Pink
An old favourite, Lacoste Touch of Pink is perfect as we move (hopefully) into the warmer months. Sign up for your free sample while it's still available.
Christina Aguilera [Expired]
Christina's first fragrance is billed as 'sexy, self-confident, and supremely feminine' and contains notes of blackcurrent tea, jasmine, vanilla and musk. I'm sure that this will be the first of many for this sultry star.
Hugo Fragrances
"Harmony is overrated". XX and XY are the latest fragrances for men and women from Hugo Boss. A fresh green contemporary masculine fragrance with a woody base. A sophisticated creamy floral for her. Other Hugo samples include Hugo Element, Hugo Man, and Hugo Deep Red.
Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean [Expired]
With it's holographic carton and simple, elegant blue bottle, this floral woody combination captures the spirit of the Med. "Radiant. Sensual. Captivating."
Lacoste Elegance For Men [Expired]
"Evocatively tasteful with a modern twist, polished by the unpretentious". It's essentially a classic mens fragrance with bright, fresh top notes, a sweet spicy heart and a warm, woody base with an unexpected twist - dry chocolate.
Dunhill Pursuit For Men [Expired]
Peppery notes combine with a shot of citrus, whilst warm spices harmonise with sensual woods and a daring blend of patchouli and cinnamon creates a seductively enduring signature. This unique synthesis creates a decisive top note and an intriguing complexity in the base.
Boss Fragrances [Expired]
Quite a few samples here but some are no longer available. If you move fast you can still get BOSS Bottled, BOSS Selection and femme by BOSS.
Celine Dion Enchanting [Expired]
Every note in Enchanting's floral oriental repertoire envelops the wearer in a warm sensual veil and conveys Celine's elegance, magnetism, and passion for life.
