The selection

Alexandre.J Oscent Black

Alexandre.J Oscent Black by Alexandre.J: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

Alexandre.J Western Leather White

Alexandre.J also has Alexandre.J Western Leather White. We have no pyramid on file for it. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.

Alexandre.J Silver Ombre

Alexandre.J also has Alexandre.J Silver Ombre. We have no pyramid on file for it. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

Alexandre.J The Majestic Amber

Alexandre.J also has Alexandre.J The Majestic Amber. We have no pyramid on file for it. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

Alexandre.J Ode to Rose

Alexandre.J also has Alexandre.J Ode to Rose. We have no pyramid on file for it. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

Alexandre.J Morning Muscs

No notes are on record for Alexandre.J Morning Muscs from Alexandre.J; the sample is the way to find out. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

Alexandre.J The Majestic Vetiver

For Alexandre.J The Majestic Vetiver from Alexandre.J we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

Alexandre.J The Majestic Oud

For Alexandre.J The Majestic Oud from Alexandre.J we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

Also in this selection: Alexandre.J The Majestic Musk, Alexandre.J Rose Oud, Alexandre.J Argentic, Alexandre.J Rose Alba, Alexandre.J The Majestic Vanilla, Alexandre.J Zafeer Oud Vanille, Alexandre.J Black Muscs.

How to test them

Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.

The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing.

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.

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.
