Dear expensive...i thought!,
This doesn't matter how much he spent! The fact that he remembered is great! if you freak out on him he will feel bad, especially if you call him out when he thought it was a great gift!
HOPE I HELPED!

5 ml for a perfume is very small, so are you sure it's not an actual small bottle? Anyway, if I were you, I wouldn't be upset about it. Some testers are not even free, but just be glad he remembered your birthday and got you something. Some guys don't get their girl-friends anything, so the thought does count. He might of not had enough money or he could of been scammed. If it honestly bothers you that much, talk to him about it and see where he is coming from.

Hi, I'm old enough to probably be your grandfather. I hope the wisdom of my age will help you with this question.
Have you ever heard the saying: "It is not the gift itself but the thought that counts".
Your boyfriend took the time to find a gift for you on your birthday. The fact that if might be a free sample is irrelevant. What is relevant is the time it took him to find a meaningful gift that he could afford. The fact that he may have found something that was free, well that means he just got lucky.

I did some research, From what I've found the bottle isn't THAT cheap it's around 20 bucks.
Also, Why would you be upset? It's a gift from your boyfriend. It's the thought that counts not how much he spent. Be thanksful

Maybe he just didn't have the money for something expensive. Is it the price of the gift that is important to you? Or did he lie and say he paid a lot of money for it? If he lied, yeah, that's not cool. But it does seem kind of petty to be upset over the price (or lack, thereof) of a gift. I can't count how many posts I've read on this site from girls who are upset because their bf didn't bother to get anything for their b-day/anniversary/graduation, etc. If it bothers you so much (again, I'm assuming he hasn't lied to you about the cost)then ask him about it, but don't be surprised if hurts his feelings or makes him think of you a little differently. In this economy, I think its a bit shallow to be judging any thoughtful gift by its cost. At least he cares.

Just before I advise you I'm gonna say, I had some trouble finding a 5 ml verion of Jasmin Noir - even thier samples appear to come in 3ml bottles - so I'm going to ask you this:
Are you sure it's 5 ml?
To give you an idea of what 5ml actually looks like, take a look at your nail polish bottles. Most nailpolishes come in 8 ml to 15 ml bottles.
Is your perfume bottle bigger than your nail polish bottles, or about the same size as large nailpolishes (like the OPI bottles), then you have a normal store bought size of perfume.
If your boyfriend actually did give you a sample, talk to him about it. It's possible he got scamed by someone and paid for it. It's also possible he is a total dolt.
