Find your skin type with a half-hour test at the sink, then build a short routine on it: a cleanser and moisturizer to suit, sunscreen every morning, and new products one at a time.
Fragrance
A fragrance changes on skin: the top notes are gone within an hour or so, and the heart and base carry on for hours. So a sample worn for a whole day tells you what a spray on a paper strip at the counter cannot.
