Which Sora Dora sample to try first

Sora Dora is on DecantGems with 13 samples. We picked 8 to show here and describe them strictly by their recorded data. Nothing here is a verdict: the order is arbitrary and your skin decides.

The selection

Sora Dora Red

Sora Dora Red is on the list from Sora Dora. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

Sora Dora Jany

Sora Dora Jany by Sora Dora: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

Sora Dora Broceliande

For Sora Dora Broceliande from Sora Dora we hold no notes; wear it and judge. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

Sora Dora Raphael

For Sora Dora Raphael from Sora Dora we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

Sora Dora Orchidee Rouge

Sora Dora Orchidee Rouge by Sora Dora: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

Sora Dora Lü Bu

Sora Dora Lü Bu is on the list from Sora Dora. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

Sora Dora Greasque

Sora Dora also has Sora Dora Greasque. We have no pyramid on file for it. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.

Sora Dora Mandorle

Sora Dora also has Sora Dora Mandorle. We have no pyramid on file for it. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.

Also in this selection: Sora Dora Kamel Oud, Sora Dora Gladiator, Sora Dora Mallow, Sora Dora Ylop, Sora Dora Vanuatu.

How to test them

Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. 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. Test it on skin and not only on paper.

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. 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.

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.

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.
