c) socialize and hang out without worrying about "off topic"
d) or anything else that comes to mind!

I skintest everything; I've seen too many scents (especially perfume oils like BPAL) that smell very different on skin than they do in the bottle to want to do otherwise. Something that makes a bad impression in the bottle or lists notes that I know tend not to work will generally go to the very end of the line, but I'll still eventually test them once simply for curiosity's sake. Even if the scent lives down to my low expectations, I find it interesting just to see how it changes with skin contact and warmth and drydown; but there have been quite a few cases where something that was fairly unprepossessing in the bottle turned out to be much more interesting and pleasant on skin.
