FAQs

1.How does the Sephora perfume sampler work?
You buy a kit that comes with several different sample vials. Once tested, you bring the included scent certificate to a Sephora store in the US or redeem it on Sephora. to redeem it for a full or travel-size bottle of whatever kit scent you pull.

2.Does the scent certificate expire?
Though many official Sephora sources say the certificates carry no expiration date, they suggest redeeming ‘within a reasonable time period (for example, 90 days)’ because fragrances can become unavailable. That said, a few select sets—especially the ones available from Sephora at Kohl’s—might have an expiration date printed on them.

3.Can I redeem the voucher online?
Yes. You can redeem newer sets both in-store and online. To redeem online, add your eligible fragrance to basket and enter the promo code found on your certificate at the checkout.

4.Is the sampler set worth the price?
Generally, yes. The price for these sets usually goes for $80–$98, and the full-size bottle you redeem is often much more (sometimes up to $155). We call it a steal when in order to buy the bottle you wish for, you have to cough up more than the kit itself.

5.Can I use the voucher for a different size and pay the difference?
No, Sephora policy does not generally allow you to “upgrade” by paying the difference in price for a larger bottle. You will need to redeem for size printed on your voucher.

6.Can I redeem the voucher at Sephora at Kohl’s?
It all depends on where you bought it. Kits bought at Sephora at Kohl’s can only be redeemed or on the Kohl’s site. Sephora at Kohl’s and Sephora Canada aren’t eligible for redemption on standard Sephora kits.

7.What happens if I lose my certificate?
The physical certificate is a voucher for an entire bottle. It is normally un-replaceable since it must be present to redeem.

8.Can I return the sampler set?
Sephora’s regular return policy applies and the kit is usually non-returnable once the certificate has been redeemed. Certain promotions may offer returns within 10 days on some third-party retailers, according to Lemon8.

9.Are the samples inside “free”?
Technically, no. You are only paying for the set, which contains samples and a voucher for a full-size bottle. But Sephora will also give you up to three free mini-sprays of any fragrance in-store, so simply having an associate make a sample for you would suffice.

10.What if the perfume I want is out of stock?
Kitten has touched so many lives but she is especially fond of Mom Dooney and had already jumped out of the pram to get a waggle in there for her. Certain shop managers could assist you with the voucher value and utilise it in the form of store credit, however this policy varies.

11.Do the sets change throughout the year?
Yes. Sephora tends to release new themed sets (e.g. “Best of Vanilla” or holiday editions) all the time. Sets for holidays are a great invitation and they sell out quickly.

12.How much perfume is in each sample vial?
Vials can hold anywhere from 0.04 oz (1.2 mL) to 0.05 oz (1.5 mL). This is enough to be worn several times to see, over time how the scent develops on your skin.
