Sphinx is on DecantGems with 14 samples. Here are 8 of them, each with the data that is on record for it. We do not rank them, because the same perfume wears differently on every skin.
The selection
Sphinx Strawberry Sugar High
No notes are on record for Sphinx Strawberry Sugar High from Sphinx; the sample is the way to find out. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Sphinx Horchata de Vanille
For Sphinx Horchata de Vanille from Sphinx we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
Sphinx Damascena
Sphinx also has Sphinx Damascena. We have no pyramid on file for it. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Sphinx Black Anubis
Sphinx Black Anubis, by Sphinx, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
Sphinx Tabac Citron Vanille
Sphinx also has Sphinx Tabac Citron Vanille. We have no pyramid on file for it. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
Sphinx KoKonut Daiquiri
No notes are on record for Sphinx KoKonut Daiquiri from Sphinx; the sample is the way to find out. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
Sphinx Heavenly Lilies
Sphinx Heavenly Lilies is on the list from Sphinx. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
Sphinx Chocolate Citronique
Sphinx Chocolate Citronique, by Sphinx, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Also in this selection: Sphinx Wood Of Gods, Sphinx Strawbery Kiss, Sphinx Elixir, Sphinx Signature, Sphinx Oceanic Symphony, Sphinx First Date.
How to test them
Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.
A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. 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.
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.
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.
