How to test them

Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.

With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger.

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.

How many samples should I try at once?

Two or three is a good number. Wear one per day, on clean skin, and write down what you notice in the morning and in the evening before you move to the next.

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.
