The selection

Elysian Sombre Douceur

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. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
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. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description.

Questions
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.
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.
