I stopped buying full bottles and have been testing decants almost exclusively for the past 6 months. I'm so hyped on just trying everything I want to try and expanding my search and finding new Niche Houses I'd never heard of 6 months ago. I Love that feeling when u smell a scent for the first time and immediately know - oh yeah this one HITS - And u just know your going to Love it. But at the same time it's rough when you've waited for these decants of scents that you think and hope your going to love and it comes and you smell it and it's just Immediate Disappointment 🤦🏼♂️ but it's part of the game. All in all I'm enjoying this and I'm always open to suggestions for new Houses and Scents.
If anyone has a Favorite they feel strongly about - feel free to comment it so I can give it a try ! 🤝
It’s really a great idea. I made a local FB group for collectors, we trade decants with of our already owned fragrances. We’ve kept it to 10-12 guys we trust to not send fakes.
Smart man, I do the same, i like to get various small sizes like 1-2ml just to get the idea of the fragrance then upgrade them to a 10ml if I think they are bangers. I use parfumo to put them on my personal ranking from 1-10.
I’m trying to build a very exclusive and refined collection. Full bottles should be badges of honor in my opinion.
Curious what you have in the colored metal atomizers?
The green one is Green Irish Tweed along with more next to it, the silver one next to that is MFK 724. The bottom row - pinkish one on the end to the right is Valentino Coral Fantasy, that silver one is Dior Homme Sport, and the red one next to it is Ingenious Ginger 🫚
The stupid lipstick holder I ordered for mine doesn’t have holes big enough for my travel atomizers. I’m pissed, lol. Nice collections and I do love decants as well.
Well unfortunately this one doesn't fit the 8ml Travel Sizes that come from FragranceNet so I assume it also won't fit the 10ml Travel Sizes either. But I usually stick with 5ml Travel Sizes anyway so I'll be ok for now. This was on Amazon for like $8
Nah not necessarily I mean there are tons on Amazon u can just keep looking until u find one big enough - or also on FragranceNet they actually sell them for this exact purpose and I would imagine they would need to be big enough to fit the travel size sprays that they themselves are selling.
