How to test them

Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly.

Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. A sample earns its place when you reach for it again without planning to. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one.

Questions

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.

Which sizes do the samples come in?

Every sample comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial. The smallest is enough for a first impression, the larger ones for many wearings.

Why do some perfumes show no notes?

Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.
