The selection
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red is on the list from Yves Saint Laurent. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
Yves Saint Laurent Y Intense
No notes are on record for Yves Saint Laurent Y Intense from Yves Saint Laurent; the sample is the way to find out. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
Yves Saint Laurent Y Iced Cologne Eau de Toilette Intense
No notes are on record for Yves Saint Laurent Y Iced Cologne Eau de Toilette Intense from Yves Saint Laurent; the sample is the way to find out. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Extreme is on the list from Yves Saint Laurent. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto L'Elixir
Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto L'Elixir, by Yves Saint Laurent, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Berry Crush
Yves Saint Laurent also has Yves Saint Laurent Libre Berry Crush. We have no pyramid on file for it. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
Yves Saint Laurent L Libre Intense
Yves Saint Laurent L Libre Intense by Yves Saint Laurent: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF - Eau de Toilette Intense

Also in this selection: Yves Saint Laurent Babycat, Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Pink Glaze, Yves Saint Laurent Cinema, Yves Saint Laurent Libre Absolu Platine, Yves Saint Laurent Libre Santal Couture, Yves Saint Laurent Sleek Suede, Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Intensement, Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris, Yves Saint Laurent Magnificent Gold, Yves Saint Laurent Vinyle.
How to test them
Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression.
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 decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle.

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.
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.
