How to test them

Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.

The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. 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

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.

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.
