Ollix: designer and niche perfume samples

Ollix is an online store dedicated to selling fragrance samples. Its approach is to offer 100% authentic perfumes and colognes in sample format, so customers can try a scent before committing to a full bottle. The company presents its catalog as a way to access luxury fragrances without paying the price of a full bottle.

The catalog is organized into sections for men and women, plus new arrivals and best sellers. Among the references the store displayed were:
