Which Dior sample to try first

Dior is on DecantGems with 72 samples. Here are 8 of them, each with the data that is on record for it. We do not rank them, because the same perfume wears differently on every skin.

The selection

How to test them

Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide.

A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it.

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.

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.
