How to choose your perfume sample for women?
Hesitating? Our quiz guides you in X questions towards the fragrances and olfactory families that truly suit you.
Why test a sample before buying?
What you smell in store disappears in 15 minutes. The true character of a perfume reveals itself later, on your skin, in your daily life. And since every skin is unique, the same perfume never smells the same on two different people.
Testing a perfume with a sample gives you the necessary perspective. Wear it to the office, in the evening, if after a week you're still thinking about it, it's meant for you!
How many perfume samples should you order to find your ideal feminine fragrance?
Order 3 to 4 samples of the perfumes you wish to test, in 1ml (18 sprays = 1 week at 3 sprays per day) or 2ml (36 sprays = 12 days at 3 sprays per day).
Our advice: test each perfume for a week, let it live on your skin, observe how it evolves, how long it lasts. Listen to the reactions around you.
Then, once all are tested, compare. Did one perfume stand out more than another? The one that makes you feel like you... that's your signature.

Which olfactory families should women prioritize?
No family is “reserved” for women, but some are historically more popular. Here are the essentials of feminine perfumery.
Floral perfume :
Rose, jasmine, peony, iris – this is the most popular family in feminine perfumery. It is timeless, elegant, and suitable for all occasions. A must-try reference: Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf for intense floral, or Portrait of a Lady by Frédéric Malle for a more carnal niche version.
Oriental perfume :
For evenings and colder seasons, you'll find amber, vanilla, spices, and resins. Warm, sensual, enveloping, with strong sillage. The family for evenings and cold seasons. Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent on the accessible side, Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens on the niche side for those who appreciate depth.
Fresh and citrus perfume :
Bergamot, lemon, orange blossom, aquatic notes. Lightness and energy – this is the ideal family for your daily life and your summer. Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermès is perfect for a more sophisticated approach.
Gourmand perfume :

Woody perfume:
Cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver. Sophisticated, modern, with an androgynous elegance. Ideal for women who embrace a strong character. Santal 33 by Le Labo is the benchmark unisex woody scent, Féminité du Bois by Serge Lutens its most accomplished feminine version.
Chypre perfume:
