			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MDCI offers perhaps the best sample program of any I&#8217;ve seen. It&#8217;s not cheap by any means, but you get <em>more</em> than your money&#8217;s worth. I recently purchased the 7 fragrance sample set from them and couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with the level of service and the pleasure of dealing with the owner, Claude Marchal. For 77 euros, you can choose 7 of the 9 fragrances from the collection (the 7 set was only recently added&#8230; used to only be able to get 5). Being in the US, the VAT is dropped, but is replaced by the cost of shipping. You can order through paypal from <a href="http://parfumsmdci.free.fr/index.php?language=en&#038;page&#038;id=82l" target="_blank">this page</a>.</p>
<p>The samples are huge &#8211; I would estimate 10+ ml in each, judging from how much they filled 15ml spray bottles I put them in. The amount of perfume that you&#8217;re able to experience with the set is an incredible deal considering the cost of a bottle.</p>

<p>The box for the 5 sample set appears to have been made specifically for 5 of the small flacons, but this one seems to have perhaps been made for something else, and used for the 7 sample set. Nonetheless, they come neatly wrapped and arranged in a nice quality box, with a card from Claude. Photos of the 5 sample set <a href="http://www.nathanbranch.com/2009/04/parfums-mdci-sampler-box.html" target="_blank">can be seen on Nathan Branch&#8217;s blog</a>.</p>

<p>The threaded bottle size is actually a standard size that I&#8217;ve found fits sprayers purchased from accessoriesforfragrances.com, so you can simply add an atomizer and cut to size the fit these bottles. I would recommend this sample set to anyone interested in the line &#8211; it&#8217;s hugely generous and a great way to give extensive attention rather than a brief opinion from a small sample.</p>
