How to test them
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. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide.
With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. Two or three samples at a time is plenty; more than that and the impressions blur. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger.

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.
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.
