How to test them

Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Test it on skin and not only on paper.

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. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one.

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.
