The selection
Epico Gitano
No notes are on record for Epico Gitano from Epico; the sample is the way to find out. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Epico Sultan
Epico Sultan is on the list from Epico. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
Epico Merci Café
Epico Merci Café, by Epico, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
Epico Vani Charnel
Epico also has Epico Vani Charnel. We have no pyramid on file for it. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
Epico Eremo
For Epico Eremo from Epico we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
Epico Frida
Epico Frida by Epico: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
Epico Vanesia
Epico also has Epico Vanesia. We have no pyramid on file for it. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
Epico Almanera
Epico Almanera, by Epico, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
Also in this selection: Epico Vanì Noire, Epico Otello, Epico Vanì Rhum, Epico Don't Call Me Oud.
How to test them
Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. 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.
Which sizes do the samples come in?
Every sample comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial. The smallest is enough for a first impression, the larger ones for many wearings.
