17 Fragrance Sample Card Test - 14 January, 2024

The amount of samples to test is decided by rolling two gaming dice, and it must be a number over 10. The samples in this set were chosen at random and sprayed 3-5 times on a labeled card. Judgement begins after they have dried which is about 10-15 minutes time.

Cards are turned with the label side facing down and arranged in lines. This is done in a dimly lit environment to avoid judgment or attempt at identification based on the spray stain.

All cards are sniffed through quickly and those in the first three disqualifier groups are decided first, then separated out. The groups being:
1.) Smells like nothing
2.) Smells like something but I’m not impressed
3.) Don’t enjoy or don’t want to smell like

The remaining cards are then shuffled and reordered. They are ranked in groups of three. The best, mid, and least favorite of each group are compared again until final card order is decided.

These are my judgement results - from being sprayed on paper *only* - for the following 17 fragrances:

Smells like nothing:
- Clean Air

Smells like something, but I'm not impressed:
- Omnia Crystalline
- Miami Blue

Don't enjoy/Don't want to smell like:
- Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche
