How to test them

Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.

A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. 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

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.

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.
