How to test them

Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.

Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does.

Questions

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.

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.

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.
