How to test them

Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.

Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. A sample earns its place when you reach for it again without planning to. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it.

Questions

How were these samples chosen?

By the tags and note lists on record for each perfume. Nothing was added from memory, the order is not a ranking, and perfumes without recorded notes are described without notes.

Are these samples made by the brands?

No. They are decants: FragranceGems fills each one from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it. They are not official brand samples.

What is a decant?

Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
