How to test them

Test it on skin and not only on paper. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.

A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. 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.

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.

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.
