Abstract: A method for preparing a fragrance composition which comprises sampling from a plurality of sampling points, each containing a fragrance component, using a plurality of samplers, one sampler transferring an aliquot from one such sampling point to a mixing container, mixing the aliquots and testing the hedonic effect against a fragrance concept. A cleaning arrangement may also be provided where each sampler is cleaned after it has transferred an aliquot from the sampling point to the container before taking another aliquot from a second sampling point.
