The selection
Miller Harris Cæur de Jardin
Miller Harris Cæur de Jardin, by Miller Harris, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Miller Harris Craft & Glamour
Miller Harris Craft & Glamour by Miller Harris: 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.
Miller Harris Etui Noir
Miller Harris Etui Noir is on the list from Miller Harris. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
Miller Harris Hydra Figue
No notes are on record for Miller Harris Hydra Figue from Miller Harris; the sample is the way to find out. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Miller Harris Rose Silence
For Miller Harris Rose Silence from Miller Harris we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
Miller Harris L'Air de Rien
Miller Harris L'Air de Rien by Miller Harris: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent

How to test them
Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. 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.
A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does.

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.
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.
Why do some perfumes show no notes?
Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.
