Every perfume in our collection is 100% authentic! We buy them directly from authorized retail shops and distributors to be certain of the product’s authenticity. We do NOT offer inspired, dupes, or perfume oil for sale. Also, we do not mix, reformulate, or change the perfume’s natural state in any way. What we do is simply—just transfer the juice into a new atomizer.
However, please note that we are an entirely different organization from the manufacturers of the perfumes itself. We are not affiliated or associated in any way with the brand, designer or perfumes that we sell. We do it as fragrance enthusiasts to share the joy of olfactory goodness!
Every decant is manually done in a sterilized and clean environment. We use gloves and a sterile syringe to measure and transfer the juice from the original retail bottle into the new atomizer. The decanting procedure is sensitive, and we take care not to compromise, damage, or modify the fragrance’s original form. We also try to minimize the exposure to air to keep the oxidation process as low as possible.
We do it as a service, to you. Many perfumes are extremely pricey in their full presentation (full bottle) form for a developing country like Bangladesh. It is economical to try out a small sample of a pricey fragrance first before committing yourself to the full presentation. Also, it allows you to try out many different perfumes with the price of a full bottle as well. This allows you to experiment with more fragrances and come to your own conclusion about which one works for you the best!
Imagine a scenario—you came across an Instagram hyped perfume, and everyone is talking about it. You gave in to the temptation and got yourself a full bottle at 20K BDT. Now, you’re regretting it as you don’t like the dry down or performance of it. Getting a decant of it to test it out first would have been the way to go! It would cost you less and let you examine the full experience of wearing the perfume.
Moreover, since the decant bottles are small, you can carry them in your pocket or purse when you’re out in the world and use them as your travel supply too!
Yes, it’s a very good way to get the impression of a lot of fragrance in one go. Most perfume shops/showrooms will assist you by spraying the perfume on a paper sheet and you can sniff them.
However, there’s a big caveat.
In that way, while you can test the opening notes, you can’t really tell how it will be when it dries down after a couple of hours. How the base notes will affect the smell. Also how the perfume performs on your skin and for how long. So the real-world experience may well be quite different from the first sniff, unless you wear it, give it a test ride, and see how it turns out.
We decant fragrances because it’s the best way to find out if you really like a fragrance before purchasing a big and expensive bottle. Our sample sizes are perfect to travel with so you can always have your favorite perfume with you on the go! It’s also a fun and exciting way to own a wide variety of incredible scents without spending a lot of money!

This is mostly determined by the amount of scent you use each day. Each sample size contains an approximate number of sprays per bottle.
Here’s a breakdown —
• 3ml = approx. 45 sprays
• 5ml = approx. 75 sprays
• 9ml = approx. 130 sprays • 15ml = approx. 225 sprays
Let’s say you are using it following the standard 5-spray method per occasion—two sprays behind two ears, two sprays on two wrists, and one spray on cloth (usually chest); then a 9ml bottle would last you for 26 occasions.
The shelf life of a sample fragrance is approximately 6 months to a year, depending on where and how you store it.
Keep your fragrance in a cool, dark, and/or dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity. A drawer, closet, or cupboard are common storage locations for your decant. Keeping your decant upright helps reduce the risk of spillage.
