How to test them

Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.

Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Two or three samples at a time is plenty; more than that and the impressions blur. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does.

Where to go next

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.

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.
