Abstract
A fragrance sampler formed by screen printing a slurry of fragrance and solvent onto a paper base. To prevent offset and release of the fragrance prior to use, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the fragrance sample. The paper base may be replaced by a pressure sensitive adhesive stock to form a unit dose or single application of a fragrance sample that can be applied as a label to any desired surface. In other embodiments, a non-pressure sensitive removable adhesive is used in a two-layer removable label construction or a three-layer coupon construction. The sampler can also be provided with the protective overlay in a simple folded hand-out version or as a pad of fragrance sampler sheets.
