This sampler will take you on an armchair visit through Scotland. Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain. Mainland Scotland has a 96-mile border with England to the southeast and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, the North Sea to the northeast and the Irish Sea to the south. Scotland also contains more than 790 islands divided into four main groups: Shetland, Orkney, and the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides. From the Highlands to the islands, there are distilleries across Scotland that produce the world's finest whisky which is featured in this sampler. Other featured notes are heather, peat, Scots pine, petrichor, bog myrtle, gorse, tweed and salty sea air.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Akro Malt EDP - Malt is an addictive whisky fragrance with notes of whiskey, rum, leather, seaweed and patchouli. This scent is a cross between a peaty Laphroaig whisky and an aquatic. It opens with a gorgeously caramelized whisky note that conjures up both the smokiness and the toffee-like depth of an aged whiskey from Scotland. Wearing Malt feels like drinking a glass of peaty Scotch with friends at a beach bonfire on a cold October evening.
- Freyja's Daughters Machrie Moor Perfume Oil - On the Isle of Arran in Scotland, located by the old Moss Farm, is Machrie Moor. Machrie Moor is an ancient ceremonial site consisting of 6 stone circles, cairns, burial mounds and remains, stretching out over the moors. The stone circles are each in varying conditions. Some standing tall, others buried in Peat. Some of these have been found to be erected on top of timber posts, which may have been the original circles. These timber structures have shown this site has been used for spiritual practices for 4500 years, though the excavation of this area has not been extensive and likely much more is to be found. Machrie Moor scent has note of moss, vetiver, bergamot and sea salt. This scent is citrusy from the bergamot and a heavy wet green from the moss and vetiver.
- Parfums de Marly Galloway EDP - Bred to adapt to the harsh climate and rocky mountains of 18th century Scotland, the Galloway stallion was a particularly stalwart breed, versatile, rugged and determined. For the gentleman who wants to display his own versatility and determination, Galloway makes a powerful, yet easygoing, statement. It starts with a gorgeous spicy-fresh hesperide blend made from the peels of juicy citrus fruits, equal parts invigorating and fiercely masculine. A heart of earthy iris keeps us grounded in the crags and glens of Scotland, while a drydown of sexy musk and amber gives backbone and longevity. Like the horse that bears its name, Galloway will always get the job done, no matter the terrain.

- Potion Street Perfumes Hunter in the Highlands Perfume Oil- A poetic and masculine blend, this fragrance is a symphony of spicy-sweet notes, the tangy zest of lemon and French verbena, the verdant lushness of violet leaves and green Florentine iris, elevated by the loftiness of ambergris and Mysore sandalwood.

- The Zoo Scent Tattoo EDP - Created by Christophe Laudamiel in 2016, it is a leather, woody, sexy plush fragrance inspired by the military tattoo held each year at the Edinburgh Castle.
