What is your maximum price for a blind buy?

The most I've ever spent for a blind buy was Rook Undergrowth, at £115, but i was certain I'd like it based on previous things I'd liked.

Otherwise I tend to stick to under £50. Like the Candied Toadstool I just ordered

    For me, it’s got to be under $60 (AUD). Otherwise, it’s a tester for at least two weeks while I see just how it fits into my collection.

    Doesn't Nadeem do testers for Rook? Maybe he'd sold out. I'm around the 50-60 for a blind buy

      He does, but only in tester packs as far as I can see. And I was pretty convinced I'd like Undergrowth. I was right, it's one of my favourite warm weather perfumes. I used some birthday money for it!

    Around $100 (US) though I've gone slightly higher for brands I know there is a high probability of liking. I just bought a small bottle of the recently released L'heure Bleue. Usually, though, blind buys are around $25-$50. Most of my fails were on the cheaper side. I've had good luck with the higher priced ones.

      I'll admit, far more willing to blind buy with those indie rollerball brands that charge about £15!

    My most expensive have been X Twist Sichuan Pepper, found from a trusted reseller for a little over 200USD and Desert Sermons, a Scent Split exclusive retails for 365USD but I had an 8% off coupon. I know my tastes well and was familiar enough with both brand's DNA. Desert Sermons is one of my favorite purchases this year
