How to test them
Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby.
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.
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.
