A perfume has three notes: the top, middle, and base notes. The top note evaporates first while the middle note develops a little later and finally, the base note releases the true scent of a perfume. The rule of thumb is to always choose sheer top notes and never decide on a single whiff! Here are three quick ways to conduct a perfume road test:
1. Spot test on skin Do this only if you have already made a short list of scents, and if you do not have allergies. Allow the scent to settle on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes (to derive the base note). Do not rub on the dabbed spot. Allow for the scent to blend in with your natural smell until it becomes your own fragrance.
2. Blot test on paper Going through a caravan of concoctions? Spray on paper blotters (squeeze in coffee beans breaks between sniffs; inhaling the aromatic beans will clear out previous perfume smell). The blot test is highly recommended especially when purchasing perfume for another person.
3. Take home a vial Do not hesitate to ask for a trial vial. Taking it home is the best way to sample a perfume from its base note.
