Which Lord Milano sample to try first

Lord Milano is on DecantGems with 26 samples. We picked 8 to show here and describe them strictly by their recorded data. Read it as a map, not as a top list.

The selection

Lord Milano Fabulous

Lord Milano Fabulous, by Lord Milano, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

Lord Milano In Love

Lord Milano also has Lord Milano In Love. We have no pyramid on file for it. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

Lord Milano Imperial Water

Lord Milano Imperial Water, by Lord Milano, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

Lord Milano Terra

No notes are on record for Lord Milano Terra from Lord Milano; the sample is the way to find out. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

Lord Milano Delight

Lord Milano Delight, by Lord Milano, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.

Lord Milano Paradise

Lord Milano also has Lord Milano Paradise. We have no pyramid on file for it. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

Lord Milano Bora Bora

Lord Milano also has Lord Milano Bora Bora. 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.

Lord Milano Sahara

Lord Milano Sahara is on the list from Lord Milano. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.

Also in this selection: Lord Milano Smokey leather, Lord Milano Blue Spirit, Lord Milano Phantom, Lord Milano Morrocan Oud, Lord Milano Queen in Rouge, Lord Milano Dusk, Lord Milano Tuxedo, Lord Milano Occasion 6PM, Lord Milano Emerald Rose, Lord Milano London Intense.

How to test them

Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.

Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Give every sample its own day, and come back to the one you keep thinking about. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing.

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.

How many samples should I try at once?

Two or three is a good number. Wear one per day, on clean skin, and write down what you notice in the morning and in the evening before you move to the next.
