Um, sure. I was thinking along the lines of if there are multiple people who want something then you can sample it but not remove it... also just so if there's something someone's dying to try and someone else just takes it for fun...
Whatever, up to you guys. Just trying to be helpful

I had considered multiple vials of, for instance, Knize 10. Or a decant that could be worn multiple times and then moved along or partly-decanted into a test vial. If I sent along a 10ml spray, that would distribute easily among 5 members with sample atomizers. You never know who's going to be interested in what.

10 ml decant sounds great. BTW I'll be in Willmar, MN.

Ah, now that's a different story. I was running along the lines of 1 standard sized sample and people all fighting over it. A larger style decant that people can take some out of and then put back into the box is a much better idea. Anybody got a link for larger atomizers?

Given the like for Body Kouros, I'd expect Oud 37 to be high on the list, as well. Wonder if I still have that sample...
