What Is a Perfume Decant and Why You Should Try It

Published by Scentini 

Have you ever fallen in love with a fragrance, only to find out the full-size bottle costs as much as a luxury dinner? Or worse: you buy an expensive perfume and realize later it doesn’t suit you. That’s where decants come in.

What is a decant?

A decant is a smaller portion of an original fragrance, carefully transferred from the full-size bottle into a travel-sized atomizer. The product inside remains completely authentic—no knock-offs, no diluted formulas.

At Scentini, all our decants come directly from 100% original fragrances. We simply repackage them into smaller, more accessible formats.

Why choose a decant?

1. Try before you commit

High-end fragrances like Creed Aventus or Baccarat Rouge 540 can cost hundreds of dollars. A decant lets you experience how the scent wears on your skin—before making a full-size investment.

2. Perfect for travel

Large perfume bottles are heavy and breakable. A 5ml decant fits easily in your pocket, bag, or carry-on.

3. Explore new scents

Maybe you usually wear sweet fragrances, but you’re curious about something fresh or woody. With decants, you can try a variety of scents without buying full bottles.

What sizes are available?

At Scentini, we offer:

  • 5ml: Enough for about a week of use.

  • 10ml: Over 60 sprays—perfect for travel or extended testing.

Who are decants for?

  • Fragrance lovers who want variety

  • Travelers who need something compact

  • Gift-givers looking for something unique

  • Anyone who wants to smell amazing without overspending

Where to find quality decants?

At Scentini, we offer a curated selection of the most iconic and in-demand fragrances—from designers like Dior and Tom Ford to niche brands that are harder to find.
