How to test them
Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
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. 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.
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.
