How to test them

Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.

A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it.

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.

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.
