Abstract
A plurality of tapered sample strips are secured at one end to a border strip to faciliate the performance of perfumery by a relative novice in the field. The tapered sample strips include the fragrance of a note, which is an essential oil, used in the perfume industry to manufacture perfumes. The series of tapered sample strips secured to the border strip are prepared for sampling by first separating two sets of border strips with their associated tapered sample strips from a die-cut sample sheet of heavy paper. The identifying indicia and color for each fragrance is clearly indicated. A tiered sample rack or case, including a plurality of capped bottles, corresponding to the number of tapered sample strips on each border strip, contains different notes or essential oils which correspond in order to the marked indicia on the tapered sample strips. Each tier of bottles corresponds to a separate border strip and its associated tapered sample strips.
