You have to spray the perfume cloud in the downward motion. Just perform 2-3 quick sprays in just one row to know its major pros. After it, you have to pass away the scent strip all through the cloud for focusing over the pointed end of strip. Bring the scent strip closer to your nose. Do not touch the nose and simply wave up the scent strip just under the nose. Close both your eyes and just inhale it. What did you smell?

Spritz your wrist

The next method of testing fragrance samples is to spritz your wrist. You will spray the perfume scent on your wrist and then have it drop down on your side. You have to wait for at least 20 seconds to let the scent get settled over the skin. As it gets dry, you have to bring the wrist closer to the nose and simply inhale it. Do it for at least 20 minutes, until and unless you are not sure about the smell.
