Customer Reviews

We are so excited to share with you what our fragrant family is saying about us:

7/30/2024

Thank you so much for the service you provide, I went from not wearing cologne at all to wearing a little bit every day with your help, and I really love being able to try different ones and find my favorites. Through you I’ve found two of my favorites and I have high hopes for more :)

Thank you for reaching out to me. To answer your question, there are a few reasons why I think that StC is one of the best decanters. For one, I appreciate the size of the samples that are available for purchase. I like to sample a lot of different fragrances and having these smaller sizes allow me to try them without having to commit to a full bottle or a larger sample which may or may not get fully used. I also like how StC offers samples from smaller indie companies - it allows me to try and support companies that normally wouldn't get attention from the general public. Finally, it's the customer service (like in the email you sent)! I haven't needed to interact too much with the customer service because there has never been anything wrong, but from social media and the limited interactions I have had, the feeling I get from the CS team is a good one.

 

Best regards,
Ken

I would just like to say how happy I am to have found you. I love perfume but have a small budget. I've already spent hours looking at your inventory and making a wish list of scents I'd like to try and it's been great fun. Can't wait to receive my 2nd order (and I know there will be many more.) Thank you for providing such a wonderful service, especially with your inventory of vintage and retro scents.

 

Best,
Anna

I was very pleased with my order from last month. It came quickly, was wrapped very carefully, had a very nice handwritten note - and best of all the fragrances were really wonderful. I was able to revisit my beloved Dioressence and also try a new one (Kenzo L’Elephant) that I also like. This is so great because it allows me to use a new perfume on several days while I decide if it’s right for me. I am very happy with your company and will be ordering from you in the future! Happy Holidays!

Best wishes, Barbara

This is my first order with STC and it was so stellar. Not only did the orders arrive quickly, but they were carefully wrapped and there was a handwritten personal thank you. I ordered a tricky to find Annick Goutal that my grandmother used to buy me. The scent is authentic and so lovely. Thank you so much!

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for a great buying experience! Your store has a great selection of perfumes and in many sizes, so I can "try before I buy" because many perfumes are very expensive. So it's nice to be able to test them out before making such a big purchase. And your store allows me to do just that.

I’m really a return (several purchases) customer. I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful service. I love your packaging, it’s so personalized!

Hello StC,

 

 

 

I just wanted to say, I recently received my order of Sauvage Parfum, Elixir, and Vanilla Diorama and am blow away at the quality, presentation, and expert service received from your company and all involved. I am a huge fragrance collector and have long searched for a reputable company selling authentic and quality decants for a fair price and you all have far and above exceeded my expectations. My fiancée and I love the samples we received and I cannot wait to order more from you shortly.

 

A fantastic company and an incredible experience all around and I just felt a direct email of my gratitude was fitting, as few companies these days excel as well as you have.

 

Have a safe and wonderful Monday and thank you to all at StC for making my fragrance searching adventure that much better!!

 

 

 

-Christian

This was my first time ordering from your site. I only just discovered it last week when looking up Baccarat & I must say I absolutely LOVE the idea! I’m indecisive & always try multiple fragrances before I find one I like. I never get through an entire bottle so these sample sizes are ideal. I love the variety of fragrances you offer and that you have crafted bundles by theme. This is great. I was so excited for my package to arrive and you guys shipped out so quickly. You will definitely have a repeat customer with me and I’ll be telling my friends about you as well.

 

Thank you,

 

Kaitlyn

You ladies ROCK!!! I am so happy I found your company. What an ingenious idea you have here. Parfum is very personal and it doesn’t smell the same on one as it does on another. You have solved  the problem! Great service And fast shipping too! Love love love your company and will continue to order. I am also going to pass on your website to my friends and family. Thank you so much! Great job ladies!

I just received my order today and it is stunning! Out of all the perfume sample companies I’ve tried, your service and presentation has been most superior. I enjoyed receiving a cute little box embellished with a jewel and my fragrances were wrapped snuggly. Your prices are competitive, I appreciate the discount codes, and your curated sample sets all look so fun. I opted for the slowest shipping you offered but my package arrived quickly which was so cool. All in all I wanted to say, you are now my favorite sample company above all else. Thank you for the abundance and amazing experience 10/10 :)

-Anne

I received my first order and I am absolutely thrilled. I am so happy your company exists - I would never have been able to try these expensive perfumes without it! I immediately fell in love with Tom Ford's Bitter Peach and sprung for a whole bottle.

 

Thank you for making high-end fragrance samples accessible - I will definitely be shopping with you again and recommending your store to all of my friends.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lauren

Thank you for the warm welcome...I'm so glad I discovered your site! Such a great way to explore new fragrances without breaking the bank or having product go to waste, not to mention finding vintage and discontinued fragrances! Your knowledge and expertise is impressive. I was up until the wee hours of this morning reading the fascinating and historic background on many scents I used to use in my youth and some I look forward to trying. Don't know how I got to be 66 and had never heard of Jicky! Your description and history of it made me just have to order a sample, lol. Looking forward to the arrival of my first order with the excitement of a child on Christmas morning! ☺❤

You all keep beauty and hope alive in these strange times and we are the better for it. Good luck and good health to everyone.

 

In peace, Alexis

I have always been interested in fragrance, but was drawn in further after reading Luca Turin in 2017. He mentions Surrender to Chance as a trustworthy source for decants, and I am so glad he did; I have been an on-and-off customer of STC since 2017, where I really wanted to see what LT was talking about with some of his reviews. Orders have always been shipped rapidly, decant volumes were always even and exact, and the fragrances have always smelled strong and undiluted. This is very different from my experience ordering on ebay or etsy; there are many fakes out there in the decanting world! I've experienced excellent customer service whenever I've had any questions. Once, something I ordered turned out to be low in stock, and Shirley sent me what little volume they did have for free. That is the kind of amazing service that creates loyal customers! I also enjoy the website copy on STC; even though smell is subjective, I have generally found the descriptions of fragrances to be clear and accurate. So, nice work, whoever writes those descriptions! :) Finally, STC has helped me survive the pandemic healthily. I think we all crave excitement when we're starved of company and locked inside our homes, and many of us lean towards food to get it, which can be unhealthy, especially at a time when we are unusually sedentary. For me, ordering STCs samples and having new things to smell every day has helped fulfill craving for sensory variety in a healthier way, at a very affordable cost. :)

"A few years ago a friend of mine gave me a small, unlabeled bottle of perfume which may have been some leftover Jovan Musk Oil, and I loved it.  I remembered having that perfume during high school in the 80's.  When that bottle was empty, I started looking around for Jovan Musk Oil and had no idea why I couldn't find it in stores.  I tried a couple other options, but that was going to get expensive quickly.  A couple months ago I wanted to try my search again but didn't want to make multiple trips to the mall during a pandemic.  I came across the StC website, where I not only found out WHY the original Jovan Musk Oil isn't in stores these days, but I also found many alternatives to try out and/or read about.  I'm very thankful to have found this website, with all of its research and articles, and especially with the many affordable samples to try out and experiment with. I'm still "researching" which perfume(s) I may want to buy a brand-new bottle of, but StC has made this search so much easier and enjoyable.  Thank you!"

Thank you for  " your thank you !"

 

I do like your business  and the way you operate. 

 

For instance you label so clearly  the glass  spray  bottles, a good thing  ( even though it is a small detail) 

 

It takes trust to purchase fragrances  being decanted . 

 

You are honest, I can  tell, that is why I came back 

 

And you seem to bring back  fragrances from the past, discontinued ,  like ODE by Guerlain, that is a refined choice for you to bring  back . 

 

Best to your team

Very impressed with this company! Their packaging, promptness, and personalization exceeded my expectations and reveals the passion the owners put into their small business. When my package arrived it even included a handwritten ‘thank you’ addressing me by name! I love the concept as a whole— genius! Great selection of high end and niche perfumes as well as good selection of sample sizes (1ml, 3 ml, 5 ml etc) available. Happy to have stumbled upon this resource which makes pricey luxury perfumes affordable and prevents blind buying an entire bottle of something you’ve never smelled. You can even find vintage and discontinued perfumes! I’ve have already told multiple people about Surrender to Chance! .

Having placed an order with 'Surrender to Chance' for numerous masculine fragrance samples, I would like to put on record that their customer service was courteous and prompt. The samples were received well within the expected timeframe, and they were packaged very well, there was neither any damage nor leakage.

 

I would like to recommend them to anybody contemplating an online purchase of fragrances.

 

Thank you Team Surrender to Chance.

I just wanted to say you guys are really great. I order from you a few times a year (my wife and I), and you pretty much always get my order right. The one time I had a concern about the amount in one of the samples you sent, you immediately just shipped out a replacement bottle. Very cool...kept me happy.

 

Thanks for everything. Can't wait for our package we ordered last night to come.

I received my order promptly and I am 1st time buyer from STC.
You should know that I have bought from various others.  Your vials, both regular and spray, are superior. Your prices better. Unique and expansive offerings to boot!  Your opportunity for discounts, best. (Thus Far) I just thought you should know. Thanks and I will be buying exclusively from STC from this day forward.

 

Kindly, Sean

 Hey guys I just wanted to say, that you guys rock. I do a lot of online shopping and it's actually uncommon for a purchase to go what I would consider "good." It's always one hitch or another, whether the product, confusion with the order, language barrier, or shipping- but doing business with you guys was what I would call simple and a delight. I'm very happy with all aspects and love my samples too btw. I had been looking everywhere, they were hard to find!

 

Thanks a bunch,
Lindsay M

Hi...I'm 72 years old...first used Jade East back in the early '60s. Used it all through college and short time beyond. Then it seemed to vanish from the shelves. Looked and asked for it for several years...just gave up. Something came up recently talking with friends and one of the ladies mentioned Jade East. Memories came back...but this times a new option was available. I did a search and your site came up. Can't wait to smell it again (will bring back a flood of memories). My wife, 10 years my junior, claims she's never smelled it.

 

 

 

Thanks....Jim

I love your concept! It’s so wonderful to be able to order perfumes in a variety of sizes for trying on, occasional wear, or discovering a signature scent. I recently ordered Guerlain’s Apres l’Ondee, and it is such a beautiful scent: It’s classic and unique without being what I’d typically think of as old-fashioned. My samples were packaged so nicely too. Also, I was able to order my best friend her favorite scent for her birthday. Thanks for such a fun yet practical way to enjoy these fragrances.

 

 

 

Best,
Hannah

Where can you find nearly all fragrances from your favorite perfume house? Of course at SurrenderToChance. Vials are available in different sizes, which makes the discovery journey affordable. My sample order arrived in the nicest box, all vials wrapped with care. What a nice present. Nice communication with and follow up from Customer service, very informative website. Everything I hope for from an online purchase. I will surely be back.

Anthropology sold this perfume last Christmas and then I guess discontinued it. I’ve been so bummed since I loved the scent. I stumbled across your website and figured I’d give it a chance (love that you offer samples by the way!) and it was a spot on match! I can’t tell you have happy I am! You made my Christmas!!! I’ll be a repeat costumer forever and will happily pass your website onto all my friends!

Not only are the fragrance samples delicious, they were packed with care -- even a sweet hand written "thank you" packing slip. I am so glad I finally decided to make an order, and hope to do more in the future. You two keep up the great work, ok? All the best from the Far North,

I am very pleased with the first set of samples.  They came quickly, they were beautifully packaged (I love the little Halloween box the samples came in) and each sample was even beautifully labelled.  Also, you carry such a wide variety of fragrances that it's easy to just keep picking up samples from you.  You are a 10 out 10 in my book! :)  Whenever I am looking to try a fragrance out that isn't accessible in a department store or at Ulta/Sephora I will check with you.

Your shipping is fast, payment is easy and by far the BEST perfume business I have tried. I am obsessed! I am about to be one of your regulars as my wish list is very long! Thanks again you guys are great!!

I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful website. Its so exciting to have the option to purchase multiple different sizes of decants and you have an amazing selection of scents.

Thank you and keep it going because I see many more purchases in the future.

I love Surrender to Chance sampler sets! It allows me to be adventurous and try scents that I would not normally pick. Some that I thought that might be winners did not work for me, like Christian Dior J'Adore. Some that I would not have picked turned out to be spectacular, like Papillon Salome!
Surrender to Chance customer service is fabulous. I especially appreciate the industrial strength outer packaging. If one of your samples is naughty and leaks, your postman and neighbors are spared knowing about it.
I also like that I can order individual samples. I am a member of a perfume club at my workplace and the 5 ml roller samples are especially appreciated by the group. Individual samples also allow me to indulge in high end perfumes without breaking the bank!

 

 

 

Bravo Surrender to Chance!!!

I just wanted to say thank you already for such wonderful service. I cannot stop raving about you guys to, well, everyone I talk to. I just moved to Wisconsin and apparently it is the middle of nowhere for fashion-istic things so to have something as wonderful as this without having to drive 100 miles is such a blessing! I had no idea such a thing existed and I looove that I can support you guys! I can try all the wonderful scents I've always heard about but could never find and my perfume addiction is just getting worse haha. My husband will divorce me, but I will smell FABULOUS  Please keep up the great work!

I could find a place on the website to leave a review but please know I absolutely love this site. I ordered 3 sample vials of scents I was interested in. One I did not like at all - it would have been a very expensive mistake on my part if I had purchased a whole bottle. Thank you for saving me - and for allowing me to try many more scents then I ever thought possible!

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the quick response and immediate solution! Your customer service has always been SO excellent, whether I've been inquiring about an order issue or just asking questions. You guys are just so wonderfully pleasant to interact with.

(Not to mention, the service you provide and the massive amounts of decants you offer is basically invaluable to keeping me smelling nice, versus smelling like a trainwreck.)

Thank you for constantly being awesome!

I received my order from you today....OMG!!!  Four days after placing my order...memory in my mailbox.  I have been searching for years, literally, for vintage Ambush, by Dana.  I have been so disappointed time after time with reformulated, or rancid perfume.  Not this time!! My daughter gave me your web site and promised I would be happy.  She was 100% right.  Please, tell me you have a barrel of my all time favorite so I can stay in perfume Nirvana.  It's perfect and I can't wait to wear it.  The packaging was adorable, and really made my day.  Thank you so much for your prompt service.

I just want to say that your service, and this company are amazing. I’ve wanted to try to find a new perfume for some time now but didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something I didn’t know I’d like, nor do I have the time to travel around to stores. This service has given me an opportunity to find a new fragrance (three I love!) and avoid a costly mistake of a purchase. Thank you!

I love what you do. I'm trying to find an affordable scent that I love and you are making that possible. I finally hit on the idea of looking at the basenotes of my most favourite scents, which are mostly out of production, and using your site to find scents with the same notes. I can't wait to get my order. Now if I could just find a site like this for wine!

I glad to have discovered STC and found the entire experience worthwhile. The selection and ordering process is a breeze and my questions were promptly answered. But the real fun began when my fragrances arrived. The samples that I ordered would have been prohibitively expensive if I ordered the regular retail sizes (especially Aventus by Creed), so I'm genuinely pleased to have found STC and will be re-ordering soon.

 

All the Best,
Jim

Hello ladies!

 

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the service that you provide. I have been on a year long search for a new scent. I wore White Musk from the Body Shop for almost 20yrs, and was devastated when they changed the formula. The long-lasting, warm musc that would melt into my skin and linger into the morning...is now completely flat and gone in a couple of hours:( I have wasted a lot of time and money searching for and ordering perfumes based on reviews, hoping they will work with my body chemistry. I was so pleasantly surprised to find STC, where I am able to order small samples and actually test them on my own skin for several days. And the fact that you guys have put together sample sets according to specific tastes is Genius!!
Thank you so much for simplifying my search:)

 

My only complaint would be the ordering error with the websites. But you got right back to me and had the problem resolved with in a day.

 

I will spread the word and highly recommend your site to others searching for the perfect scent.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Ramey

Just wanted to pass this on - I just opened one of my samples and literally got teary-eyed at the pure beauty of it. That Bal a Versailles is perhaps one of the most beautiful scents I've ever experienced. THANK YOU for this amazing service you offer. It's like finding out there's another color. Thank you!

Good day! All my orders are delivered quickly. Many, many thanks to you, for the fact that you exist!

Just wanted to give another customer review. I sincerely appreciate the service you provide. Fragrance can become an expensive and stressful habit, and with decant providers such as yourselves, you are helping mitigate the bad side of exploration. You are opening the doors to folks who may not be able to afford full bottles. I genuinely think this is very, very kind. So thanks! 
I've been pleased with my orders thus far, no troubles to gripe about.

Wish I'd known about you before now!

But thanks to STC I am able to surround myself with all sorts of fragrant stories without sending myself into the poorhouse! Thank you, Patty & Lisa & your dedicated helpers for STC, your great service, awesome packaging, & quick delivery. Thank you for all the fragrant stories. Your the best!

Just wanted to say how delighted I am to have found you. I have been a lover of scent all my life and my favorites have always been on the high end of the price spectrum. This has kept me from purchasing perfumes that I truly loved (Joy being one). STC allows me to try so many different scents without the high dollar commitment. The timely arrival and perfect packaging and personal touches show a level of customer service not usually seen in on line companies.
You will be seeing my name on many orders to come.

I wanted to thank you for all you do. I have placed two orders with you, and really appreciate being able to try fragrances like this.

Your hard work, time and your business is appreciated by me. Thanks!

Hi There. I just want to send you an email thanking you for your great service. I am a South African currently in the USA. I lost my mom two years ago on 24 April this month. My mother always used to wear Dune from Dior and being so expensive I was never able to purchase a bottle. You guys gave me the opportunity to remember her again by her smell. Making it able and affordable to purchse a sample. I was on a high today when I received my package in such a fast time. Even your packaging was amazing knowing she used to wear blouses with similar material. Thank you so much! I have nothing from my mother but her smell of perfume and you guys made it possible for me to remember her again. I can sleep with a rested heart tonight with great memories. Thank you!

It was so nice of you to include a treat and a message letting me know you didn't carry a particular fragrance any longer.  The packaging was also great.  Thank you so much!

 

P.S.  I hope you get this message because I didn't know how to post it on your website.

Dear STC crew,

 

 

 

I've just received my first order from your site, and am so pleased!  Not only does this decant seem more potent and fresh than I've received from other sites, but the cost was considerably lower ( and the shipping fast during Christmastime!). It's always nice to receive excellent quality for a reasonable price.

 

 

 

 Keep up the excellent work, and thank you very much for a lovely first experience.  You have a very happy customer!

Dear Surrender to Chance,

 

 The following is a review of my customer service experience with your shop. I hope you find it useful.

 

 Top notes: indeed, there is a way for me to shop for Xmas scents for my girlfriend on my own time schedule! I've been dreaming of a service like this! Oh, wait: I can also grab a couple of perfumes for myself to try? At a vastly lower price than blind-buying a bottle after one or two department store drive-by tests? Well, conceptually, I'm sold. Let's see how it progresses through time.

 

Heart: all of my requests were in stock. Billing, shipping, and tracking information is clear, even given the complicated distribution situation. Nothing to do now but check the USPS website.

 

Base notes: the first batch has arrived! With no problems whatsoever! Not only that, but the packaging makes me feel like I'm getting something special--maybe even a gift. I was fully anticipating a coldly scientific bubble wrapped pod. The 1ml decants are the perfect size to test out fragrances a few times on myself and maybe once on paper. The 2ml decants are ideal for trying scents in a reasonable variety of situations and climates. Just as the website suggested. I just found my new favorite website for pursuing one of my favorite hobbies.

 

 Cheers,

 

Michael

Hi there, sorry if this is a waste of your time, but I don't often feel the need to thank companies I've ordered with online before.

 

I just got home from work to find a parcel from you in the mail. I live in Japan so I'm used to waiting a long time for orders from the states, but yours came a lot sooner than expected, and your care in packaging, presentation, and labeling is not paralleled by any other company I've ordered perfume samples from before.

 

Thank you a lot, and your attention to detail is appreciated.

I have to admit I have been excited awaiting my four sample vials, very much like awaiting Santa Claus. They arrived today and your packaging amazed me. Not only safe and secure, but attractive in their little mesh drawstring bag.  As I type, I’m letting "Redacted" Coco do its thing on wrist. We’ll see. I’m just writing to you to let you know how pleased I am with Surrender to Chance and your customer service. Credit where credit is due. I have to get back to Coco to see how the scent dries down as I work on my latest book manuscript. BTW, I’m already making up my next list of goodies to order from you.

The samples and the decant are wonderful and I really look forward to getting the rest of my order. I'll definitely be making more orders in the future as I'm relatively new to niche fragrances and I'm absolutely devouring everything, haha. You do a wonderful job and I am a very happy customer. :)

It's like a box of fine gems!  So dainty and feminine. My 6 year old neighbor loves to come over and look at all my boxes and the pretty colored mesh bags. She loves to sniff all the samples and she already knows the ones she likes the best.   I'm sure she will be one of your buyers in the future!  Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your prompt attention to this. Also, just wanted to say that I think what your site does is *awesome*. I love finding new scents but always felt a little stressed by the process (getting blasted by salesladies w/"the latest new release," etc.). I love the way you have samplers arranged by note; this is *fantastically* helpful. A friend first ordered from y'all recently and we had a smellabration w/the samples; I've been able to try amazing things I'd never be able to find where I live, and save myself a lot of wallet and nose-ache in the perfume-buying process by only ordering online what I already know I love, b/c I've had a chance to try it and ruminate. *So* much better than shopping in dept stores and boutiques. I'm loving this!

 

I'll definitely recommend Surrender to Chance to all my friends.

 

Thanks again, and have a great day. :-)

 

Regards,

 

Bethany

I just wanted to say Thank You! I received my orders from the fabulous sale. It was my first time every ordering from a sample company and I couldn't be happier. They all arrived in stellar condition and I've been having a great time discovering them. Your website is fantastic for a perfume novice such as myself. I love being able to try on the perfume, identify the notes, then look up the info to see if I'm close. I am having such a good time exploring that I think I will order gift certificates for my female family members at Christmas time so they can enjoy it as well.

 

Thanks again! ~Ann from KC

I just wanted to say that I've been a customer since this site opened for business and that I'm so appreciative of what you do! I don't know what I'd do without you (other than annoy the heck out of sales associates at perfume counters throughout Saint Louis!). Thanks for doing what you do.

Dear Surrender to Chance, 
"I am writing to let you know how much I appreciate the outstanding customer service. The reshiped order #7233 just arrived. I know that adding that task to your regular duties took quite a bit of extra time and expenses. I will continue to visit your store in the future, as well as recommend it to others. You have put together a great team that makes customers feel respected and valued."

"BTW, I do have something funny for you to pass on. I did purchase a few soaps. One of them looks exactly like fudge we buy here (it was the pumpkin)  I gave it to my mom.  She left it on the kitchen counter.  Unfortunately (;]0) my father thought it was the fudge and bit into it.  Needless to say there was an onslaught of jokes about that. None of which I can repeat.

 

The soap is wonderful though, another winner."

Hello all at Surrender to Chance,
"I just wanted to take a moment to send you a little note. I recently made my first order with you. I couldn't believe how fast I received it. I made the order late on October 10th, it was shipped on the 11th, and I received it on the 16th. I would have received it on the 15th, but it was a federal holiday and the post office wasn't shipping that day. In addition to that, your customer service has been so friendly, helpful, timely, and even personable and warm. I will be a returning customer for sure. "

"I really enjoy your service because it makes it easy to try new fragrances without feeling obliged to purchase, and without a sales associate distracting from the thought process.  Also, living with a fragrance over a day or two helps to reveal its true character.  Your service also saves walking all over my city (Vancouver, Canada) and allows for easier comparison of products from different fragrance houses.  Thanks for offering an appreciated service." 

 

Best regards,

“This isn't so much of a question, as a compliment. I just received my order today, and I was very impressed with how quickly it arrived and how pretty it was packaged. Also, the little candies were a nice touch! :) I was excited enough to try out the new scents, but everything was so nice, it brought a smile to my face. I'm not really a "perfume-y" type person. I'm 31, and this is the first time I have even considered buying perfume. I decided to try the Jill Stuart Vanilla Lust first, and so far, I love it! I can't wait to try the others. Thank you for the wonderful experience and nice surprises. I will definitely be ordering again...now if I could stop smelling my arm and get some housework done, it'll be a great day. :)”  Mary

"I received my order today. Thank you, thank you! Love the packaging! --so wonderful to pull out the beautiful red bag with the gorgeous box containing my newest obsession! I want to thank you all for allowing those of us who can not justify or afford a full bottle $$$ purchase, but really must consume some of these scents. It is also really wonderful to be able to get educated about the history of perfume and have the luxury of smelling such a wide and diverse collection in small, delicious quantities to learn who and what those scents are. The electrical tape works perfect! ----and did I say thank you? thank you."
