The selection
Tumi Whisper
Tumi Whisper by Tumi: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
Tumi Signature
No notes are on record for Tumi Signature from Tumi; the sample is the way to find out. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
Tumi Continuum
No notes are on record for Tumi Continuum from Tumi; the sample is the way to find out. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
Tumi 19 Degree
For Tumi 19 Degree from Tumi we hold no notes; wear it and judge. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Tumi Dusk
Tumi Dusk is on the list from Tumi. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Tumi Atlas
No notes are on record for Tumi Atlas from Tumi; the sample is the way to find out. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
Tumi Unwind

Tumi Renaissance
No notes are on record for Tumi Renaissance from Tumi; the sample is the way to find out. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

How to test them
Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. A sample earns its place when you reach for it again without planning to. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it.

Questions
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.
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.
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.
