Since I have been test out some of my samples these few weeks I have noticed that when I try out the same fragrance on both arms, the right arm sometimes smells better. Sometimes I don't even like it on my left arm. Which makes me wonder, if I tried to do a side by side comparison of different formulas of the same fragrance the results might be skewed. And what about if I try out two different fragrances one on each arm? Maybe it's not a fair trial of the fragrance on my left arm. Has anyone else noticed a difference in arms ?

Other people have commented on that phenomenon - we thought maybe it was because you have more blood flow down left arm - temp. is higher?

I've been puzzling about this post. I've never noticed a significant difference from one side to the other. I do think there may be slight differences if I use the back or front of my forearm for testing. Of course, if it is close to my wrist, on the left, then, because I wear a watch, there is a chance of some residual previous fragrance on the watch that would intermingle. More blood flow down the left arm? I've never heard of that: actually, because most people are right handed, and blood tends to be directed where there is more activity--I would think, if anything, there would be more flow to the right--although, I believe the differences are probably to small to make a difference. Very curious...

because the heart is on the left side and the left side of the heart pumps the blood out to the body and the aorta is on the left side of the heart and the larger part goes towards the left shoulder. Of course, right arm could be more muscular, left arm more fatty???

Explanations so far do make a lot of sense.

Just wanted to say: Rita, realize what a refined perception you have, being able to notice such - I assume minute - differences. You're a nose, woman!
