How to test them

Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. 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.

Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it.

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.

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.

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.
