How to test them
Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. 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.
The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle.

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.
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.
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.
