How to test them
Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly.
With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. A sample earns its place when you reach for it again without planning to. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing.

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.
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.
