How to test them
Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. 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. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. 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.
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.
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.
