A Small Bottle — A Big World: How to Properly Test Perfume

You are holding a tiny vial in your hands — your password to the world of fragrances. How to get the most out of it, avoid disappointment, and possibly save money? Let’s figure it out without any unnecessary magic.

What are testers for?

A sample is not just about «smelling.» It is a test for compatibility: a mysterious formula on paper can play a completely different melody on your skin.

Three main reasons to use samples:

  • Compatibility test— The fragrance reveals itself differently on skin and on paper
  • Training— the perfect trainer for the nose to learn how to distinguish neroli from bergamot
  • Savings— the opportunity to evaluate the fragrance for 500 rubles instead of 10,000 for a bottle

Sample formats: what to choose?
