## Release Date: When You Can Shop It

Timing matters with this one. The set launches **exclusively in the Sephora app on 9 October 2026**, reaches all other Sephora platforms on **10 October 2026**, and arrives in **Sephora stores on 12 October 2026**. Sephora's holiday samplers tend to sell out quickly, so the app drop is your best chance to secure one.

## Products: The 8 Minis Inside

The box comes in a striking **blue crystal shard-print** design, with a window that shows off all eight minis:

-   **Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum** (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): woody
-   **Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette** (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): fresh and aquatic
-   **Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum** (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): aromatic
-   **Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense** (7 ml/0.24 fl oz): warm
-   **Jo Malone London Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense** (9 ml/0.3 fl oz): woody
-   **Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette** (7 ml/0.2 fl oz): smoky and cosy
-   **Prada Beauty Paradigme Eau de Parfum** (7 ml/0.23 fl oz)
-   **Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Toilette** (4 ml/0.135 fl oz)

## The Voucher: Choose Your Full Size

The certificate redeems for **one** full-size bottle from the same lineup:

-   Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum (1.6 fl oz)
-   Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette (1.7 fl oz)
-   Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum (1.6 fl oz)
-   Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense (2.5 fl oz)

-   Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette (1 fl oz)
-   Prada Beauty Paradigme Eau de Parfum (1 fl oz)
-   Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Toilette (1.7 fl oz)

## Price: Is It Worth It?

The set costs **$98**, and the announcement gives a **stated value of $189**. Beyond the numbers, the real benefit is that you never commit to a full bottle blind. You live with each scent first, then choose.

## How to Get the Most From Your Sampler

-   **Test on skin, not paper.** Fragrance changes as it warms, so wear each mini for a full day.
-   **One scent per day.** Layering several at once blurs your judgement.
-   **Take notes.** Jot down how each one smells on application, after an hour, and by evening.
-   **Try different settings.** Something fresh like Acqua di Gio may suit daytime, while By the Fireplace might win for cosy evenings.

## A Smart Gift Idea

For anyone who is **hard to buy cologne for**, this sampler takes the guesswork out of gifting. They explore eight designer names and then choose their own full size. It's thoughtful, generous, and practically foolproof.
