I'm new to the world of perfumes and kind of picky. There are still a ton of perfumes that I am curious about or want to try. Is there a website that offers a wide selection of decants to sample?
Hello !
Jovoy Paris has a wide selection of perfumes to sample ^^ I don’t know any others at the moment either
which country are you located in, @luvpetrichor?
which country are you located in, @luvpetrichor?
I live in the United States.
U.S. based stores. I have used the following decant stores
Perfuum.com;
decantx;
scentsplit.com;
there is also myfragrancesamples.com. I have not purchased from them.
Many perfumeries also sell decants. Some that I have purchased from include:
ZGO perfumery (San Francisco) - I just received a decant from them this past week;
Osme perfumery (Miami);
Indigo Perfumery (Cleveland, Ohio);
La Parfumerie (Raliegh, N.C.).
Online retailers include:
Maxaroma;
Luckyscent (online store for scentbar).
Adding Surrender to Chance, The Perfumed Court, Fragrances Line, Decant Planet!
Scent Split is my go to if possible. I like their labels.
The Perfumed Court carries some gorgeous vintage fragrances.
Surrender to Chance has a unique selection.
Fragrances Line often has things the others do not.
I will add richandluxe.com as another source for some brands that can be hard to find elsewhere. My personal favorite decanters are Lucky Scent for hot new niche, Surrender to Chance and The Perfumed Court for vintage, Scent Split, Decantx and Perfuum are good for a variety of brands. I often price comparison and keep running carts at each just depending on what I am wanting to sample. Also Jana at Fragrance Vault often has obscure vintage and also carries a great selection of new niche. She is very generous with new samples when you purchase from her.
Welcome @luvpetrichor! I believe in the US there are indeed several websites you can get decants relatively cheap (compared to most European countries). However if you don't want to spend too much money and you have some decants or fragrances already that you don't feel you really need anymore, swapping is also an awesome option. If some member in the fragrance community has something you want and they want to swap it to something you have, you can send them to each other. I guess there are also some offers in Parfumo Souk (but I haven't tried that yet though and also I don't know how many people from the US are active there).
I am based in Europe. I either get my decants from Jovoy, Nose are from renowned sells in Facebook groups
