The selection
Lubin Princesses De Malabar
Lubin Princesses De Malabar is on the list from Lubin. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Lubin Sarmate
Lubin Sarmate is on the list from Lubin. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
Lubin Galaor
No notes are on record for Lubin Galaor from Lubin; the sample is the way to find out. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
Lubin Brittany Breeze
For Lubin Brittany Breeze from Lubin we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Lubin Upper Ten
Lubin also has Lubin Upper Ten. We have no pyramid on file for it. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
Lubin Gin Fizz
Lubin also has Lubin Gin Fizz. We have no pyramid on file for it. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
Lubin Kismet
Lubin Kismet is on the list from Lubin. 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.
Lubin Mandarino
Lubin also has Lubin Mandarino. We have no pyramid on file for it. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
Also in this selection: Lubin Condottiere, Lubin Epidor, Lubin Grisette, Lubin Daimo, Lubin Galaad, Lubin Kigriz, Lubin Attique, Lubin Itasca, Lubin Magda, Lubin Korrigan.
How to test them
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. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.
Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. A sample earns its place when you reach for it again without planning to. 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.
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.
