The selection
Manos Gerakinis Imperial Malt
Manos Gerakinis Imperial Malt, by Manos Gerakinis, 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.
Manos Gerakinis Oud Immortelle
Manos Gerakinis Oud Immortelle by Manos Gerakinis: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

How to test them
Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
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. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it.

Questions
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.
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.
