I'm too lazy to go to Kohls to smell the Mariah Carey perfumes, and I'm planning to buy the smaller ones at Walmart anyways. But I don't know if you're allowed to smell them? Do they have testers?
There are no unpackaged bottles sitting out, everything is tightly packed up..Just how I like it! Shouldn't be too much of a loss if you are buying the smaller ones and don't like the scent!
It'll probably take a while then. I've just had way too many darn bad experiences with scents. I'd smell em on somebody else, or the notes would sound really amazing, but then I end up buying them and they smell terrible on me. I bought Curve Kicks on amazon because I had smelt it on my best friend, and it ended up smelling WAY too musky on me. That bothered me. I'd rather wait till I have the time to head out to Kohls and smell them on myself. It will probably take me a while to see how they all interact with my body chemistry. But twenty dollars may not seem like a lot, but it is, For me. :P If I like one of them a whole dang lot I might end up buying the bigger bottle anyways. The only smell I use is the Sweet Pea body spray from B&BW and I want more scents. :)
I'm the same way with fragrance. What I tend to like smelling doesn't always translate well with my body chemistry. Definitely wait to try it on to see how it works on you.
