About Us
About Surrender to Chance
Surrender to Chance is a US perfume sample and decant shop. We take authentic perfume from the manufacturer's bottle and decant it by hand into small glass vials and sprays, so you can try a fragrance on your own skin before you commit to a full bottle.
Surrender to Chance is run by its two owners, Patty White and Lisa Lawler. We decant and send out every order from Topeka, Kansas, and we have been doing it since 2005 (before 2012 it was as another site or on eBay).
What we carry
We offer one of the largest, most diverse selections of authentic perfume samples online: designer, niche, indie, vintage, retro and luxury brands, including much-loved discontinued perfumes that are hard to find anywhere else.
Sizes
Sizes vary by perfume. Depending on the fragrance, you can choose from:
- 1/4 ml and 1/2 ml glass sample vials
- 1 ml glass sample vials
- 1/2 ml in a 1 ml glass spray, and 1 ml glass sprays
- 2 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml, 8 ml and 10 ml glass sprays
- 5 ml glass roll-ons

Where our name comes from
Surrender to Chance was born on a trip to Morocco, on a sand dune at dawn in the Sahara desert. To us, surrendering to chance means being open to the scent you never expected to love, and finding out what you don't love too. That's what sampling is for. Perfume is fun!

Reviews
We need product reviews, they reward everyone. Please refrain from this "Tom Ford's Amber Absolute is crap". A quality review looks like:
"Tom Ford's Amber absolute is a powerful amber perfume, its aroma is so fierce that I feel like I've been punched in the nose. The smell is penetrating, it's like putting a beehive on my head".
This is just an example, and in no way reflects the views of Surrender to Chance.
