Are Chinese Osmanthus perfume samples and decants authentic?

How can I try Chinese Osmanthus perfumes before buying a full bottle?
Every chinese osmanthus fragrance is sold as a decant — 2 ml (about 30 sprays), 5 ml (about 75 sprays) or 8 ml (about 120 sprays, a glass travel spray) — poured from a genuine sealed bottle. Wear it for a few days and decide before committing to a full bottle.
Does Chinese Osmanthus work as a top, heart or base note?
It depends on the fragrance. Chinese Osmanthus can be composed as a top, heart or base note, and that placement shapes how long it lingers — base notes generally last 6–8 hours while top notes are more fleeting at 2–4 hours.
