A pull-apart fragrance sampler is provided which may be produced in-line and without the use of pressure sensitive materials. The sampler includes a carrier defining a fold line, barrier applied to the carrier and centered with respect to the fold line such that the fold line divides the barrier into a first half and a second half, and a wet fragrance sample applied to one of the first and second halves of the barrier. The carrier and barrier are folded over upon themselves along the fold line and a seal is formed around the wet fragrance sample without the use of pressure sensitive materials to bind the two halves of the sampler together. The seal and barrier define a pocket which will substantially prevent the premature release of said fragrance from the sampler. The seal may be a heat seal, an adhesive seal, or a cohesive seal. The barrier may be an aqueous based curable coating, an organic based curable coating, or a film. An ultra-violet curable coating is the preferably coating, and the preferable material for the film is a saran coated polyester. If the film is used for barrier, then a heat seal adhesive or cohesive seal is provided. If a coating is provided for the barrier, then the adhesive or cohesive is preferably used to form the seal. The fragrance formulation involves a wet, liquid alcoholic fragrance and polymer formulation, but may also be microencapsulated or a dry formulation.

1. A method of forming a fragrance sampler containing a sample of liquid fragrance, which will substantially prevent the premature release of said fragrance from said sampler; said method including:providing a carrier; applying a film barrier to said carrier; depositing a liquid fragrance sample on said barrier, the liquid fragrance sample having a perimeter smaller than the perimeter of the barrier, such that there is a margin between the edge of the fragrance sample and the edge of the barrier; folding the carrier and barrier over upon each other; and, cohesively sealing the barrier to itself to form an enclosed pocket which encapsulates the sample, said sealing being accomplished without the use of pressure sensitive materials.
