Which Czech & Speake sample to try first

We list 13 samples by Czech & Speake. We picked 8 to show here and describe them strictly by their recorded data. Read it as a map, not as a top list.

The selection

Czech & Speake No.88

Czech & Speake No.88, by Czech & Speake, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

Czech & Speake Cuba

Czech & Speake also has Czech & Speake Cuba. We have no pyramid on file for it. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

Czech & Speake Neroli

For Czech & Speake Neroli from Czech & Speake we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

Czech & Speake Perfecto Fino

No notes are on record for Czech & Speake Perfecto Fino from Czech & Speake; the sample is the way to find out. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

Czech & Speake Villa Ausonia

Czech & Speake Villa Ausonia by Czech & Speake: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.

Czech & Speake Rose

Czech & Speake also has Czech & Speake Rose. 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.

Czech & Speake Mimosa

Czech & Speake Mimosa by Czech & Speake: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

Czech & Speake Amber 7

Czech & Speake also has Czech & Speake Amber 7. We have no pyramid on file for it. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

Also in this selection: Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge, Czech & Speake Vetiver Vert, Czech & Speake Dark Rose, Czech & Speake Spanish Cedar, Czech & Speake Frankincense & Myrrh.

How to test them

Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. 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.

A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle.

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.

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.
