Instructions

1. Look for miniature perfumes at your local department stores. Most department stores feature cosmetics departments that sell most brand-name and upscale perfumes. You can often find a wide range of perfumes in miniature sizes.

2. Visit local cosmetic and makeup shops and view their miniature perfume offerings. You may be able to find miniature perfume sets that feature small bottles of several different perfumes. These sets are usually more abundant during holiday seasons as they are sold as gift sets.

3. Search online auction sites like eBay for miniature perfumes. You can often find a person who is selling many miniature perfumes as a full set. These sets will feature anywhere from two to upwards of 20 mini perfumes. Read the seller's feedback ratings prior to bidding (see Resources below).

Tips & Warnings
