I use these:
When decanting: press the nozzle button on the atomizer down as you attach and press-down on the fragrance flask, creating a vacuum of sorts, which prevents leaking/oxygenation. I decant only enough for the rest of the day. I do, however, keep another atomizer in my bag all the time. This one is filled with an all-season/all-occasion fragrance that I don’t care much about stability or potency; typically something like Armani Code or Burberry Touch.
Unless you got this from Tom Ford himself and he got it straight from the factory floor and put it on your hands, this thing has been through hell and back while being transported from the place it was made to you.
You also don't have to take the whole damn thing with you either. Just fill some of these up and you're good to go. If you're not showering with the Cologne, then it should be more than enough to last you a long trip. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CL1NRY5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_63eWCbK5NWWFP
Fragrance-free Mitchum is the best imo
Mitchum Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick for Men, Triple Odor Defense Gel, 48 Hr Protection, Dermatologist Tested, Alcohol Free, Unscented, 3.4 Ounce (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EO23OKI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EBKYZZHZ1KXEPW000WX9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I am not a bot, I promise
Buy some Pineapple demeter and mix about 20pct/ratio in with that Club de Nuit and it will really get you where you want to be.
These kind of bottles work great! You just remove the spray cap from your fragrance bottle and then there is a little hole in the bottom of the travel bottle that insert the white plastic piece into and then you pump the fragrance into the travel bottle.
I transfer the samples in vials into small atomizers like these, then label them with these, cut into small strips. You can also decant extrait that comes in splash bottles into these sprays, as an alternative to using disposable pipettes. Perfume smells somewhat different when sprayed compared to dabbed.
All bottles are gray in the dark, amirite? Just close your eyes and think of England, or get some 10 ml decants.
Decant boutique has a low priced 30-ml spray bottle. I bought this one On Amazon, but if you search for empty perfume bottles you'll find quote a few.

Related, here's a quote from the post by Jennifer Lawrence's best friend from when she went to the Oscars - https://myspace.com/discover/trending/2014/03/04/feature-i-went-to-the-oscars-with-my-best-friend-and-then-i-went-viral
"Brad Pitt smells amazing, like nothing I've ever smelled. Eventually we ask what cologne he's wearing and he tells us, "I don't wear cologne, it's just my musk I guess." I have to choose not to believe him because it would just be unfair to mankind."
It seems that Brad Pitt has found his holy grail fragrance and isn't sharing.
I had a boss that would tell us "whoever finishes first gets a prize!" And then when the first person finished, he'd hand them $5 and say "You win a shopping spree that the Dollar Tree!"
But yeah stay away from any type of food or cosmetic product at that place I remember reading that the factory workers in China handling the shampoo/bodywash type products that are sold in Dollar Tree were developing skin disease. This is the book: https://www.amazon.com/Poorly-Made-China-Insiders-Production/dp/0470928077/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Kind of wish I hadn’t started this but...
If cost of goods is $50 and profit is $45 then profit is 45/95 = about 47%
According to Wikipedia:
Gross profit = net sales – cost of goods sold
So yes gross profit is a dollar figure and there is no limit to it. If you’re talking about a percentage though, what is it a percentage of? Mostly you’re talking about how much profit is being made relative to the sticker price.
Again, wiki:
“Gross profit percentage = [(net sales – cost of goods sold)/net sales] × 100%.”
So if your entire price was just profit with zero cost of goods, no overheads etc, you’ve made 100% profit.
If your gross profit is more than 100% then that’s not impossible, but you must be getting some kind of government rebate, or you’ve just sold something that someone paid for you to take off their hands, because the cost of goods is in negative figures.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_profit
This site has a calculator for profit and a good explanation
From what I understand it is more like self regulation by the perfume industry. I don't think that they have legal powers per se. You are free to make fragrances that fall outside of the IFRA limits but that would also leave you open to lawsuits should there be negative reactions to your fragrances. Getting the non-compliant materials may be harder due to less demand and less is being made or production has stopped all together. Some of the banned ingredients have real strong reasons for being banned while others are just irritating to small portions of the population (oak moss). Now if the FDA has banned them that is a completely different situation.
For my next professional role I want to connect people with chronic health challenges with health-focused organizations through digital apps and communities to enhance health tracking, increase patient agency and activism, and improve health outcomes.

I began to love fragrance last year, after 10+ years of being fragrance free. Not a collector. I adore men with beards, to a slightly lesser extent male couture, and collect images on my blogs. I like stand-up and old-fashioned reading.
In my temporal life, I am a slightly north of 60 (but not slight) woman, marriage- and child-free. I huff outdoors using a Couch to 5K program; gradually morphing my ass from the shape of a couch, and gaining cardio endurance. I love connecting with people as much as I value quiet, creative time.
I love cats (former slave of two) and adore other people's dogs, all breeds. I am the aunt of 2 dogs, 7 cats, and humans in various stages of development. Lately I've been run/walking to Pharell, Hozier, Stromae, Slushii, and hip hop.
In addition to reddit, I visually blog as this persona on Pinterest,Tumblr, and Instagram @anatolysdream. I am a collector of images and information; can't help myself. You can also tweet and follow me on Twitter @anatolysdream.
I bought these recently and I thought they were good. I haven't traveled with them yet, but I did mail one to someone and it held up.
i guess there are a lot of new people here, but this is pretty much common knowledge. here's the amazon link for a 40-slot holder that takes less than 4 weeks to arrive ($7.99US) - https://smile.amazon.com/hblife-Lipstick-Acrylic-Organizer-Cosmetic/dp/B06XKG7DFN/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13X21IPMB57AD&keywords=acrylic+lipstick+organizer&qid=1562296626&s=gateway&sprefix=acrylics+lip%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-3
A lot of these websites use stock images which may not reflect what you will actually get. For example, Jet.com is displaying a "vintage" DHI on their site, but it's very unlikely you'd get the original formulation when you buy it. Also, many times the customer service folks are completely removed from the actual fulfillment center, and really have no idea what version will be sent out. Hope you receive what you're looking for!
Yep! I decanted my Glossier You into a separate bottle bc the original atomizer was always leaky. I got these and they work well and are nice and heavy.
Definitely agree with the suggestion of a pipette adaptor, because trying to remove the sealed mechanism was a BIG pain in the ass that involved a craft knife, piers, and a flat-head screwdriver to pry apart/out.
I do reach for that fragrance less often, my eye skips right over it bc the bottle is so nondescript, but it’s better than leaking perfume all over my hands whenever I do use it!
It's very difficult to get those little bottles clean. Whichever scent was originally in it is nearly impossible to get out. Especially a Mancera!Though I'm sure it's doable.
You can always buy the same type of atomizer from Amazon. Here's one.
I would get this from amazon and fill them up
The key to those is that their made of plastic so it wont shatter like glass decants in case of accident or heavy weight.
Wow, that is great

Thanks for this post. I'm a 36/M and I have also been exploring tea scents. I wanted to give you one more suggestion. It's my favorite green tea scent: Al Rehab Green Tea. It's a cheap green tea oil. To me, it smells mostly like a refreshing sweetened green tea that you might buy in a plastic bottle in the store, by Lipton or Snapple.
Thanks again for the list. I'm building an order on a sample site right now and I just added The Yulong and Under the Lemon Tree due to your reviews. :)
These fit onto 1mL dabbers. I sample a lot, so I don’t add them to all my samples - just the ones I plan to try several times (given a strong first impression as a dab).

Thanks for the heads up!
It is strange that Guerlain Vetiver 15ml decant is selling for $19 on this sale while the 3.4 Ounce bottle is selling for $40 on Amazon.
If you like bar soap, I'm personally a fan of the Mysore Sandal soap that you can find in Indian grocery stores and on Amazon. It's dirt cheap (a dollar or two per bar) and smells great.
Probably this or something very like it: Amber Resin Solid, 10 g INCENSE RESIN AMBER https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077B8TWQV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RvQHAb2FBHDQA
The Kuumba Made Amber Paste sold on Amazon is very similar and far easier to wear as fragrance, though, IMO. KUUMBA MADE AMBER PASTE https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006GOQ8RI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zyQHAbG0FA24E
It's definitely a relief to have all the samples in one place and organised, now when I see on this sub the mention of a fragrance I have I can straight up open the case and find it easily.
The case's from Amazon:
For the larger bottles, I would recommend something like this.Tiered Organizer For the small samplers on the bottom shelf, something like this would be nice. Lipstick Organizer I think you might also have to implement a strict "One in, one out" rule when purchasing fragrances, meaning that if you buy something new, you should sell or gift a bottle from your collection that you no longer love.
Ammo box is the way to go. This would work for 5mL decants and possibly the larger spray atomizers that have the colored plastic tube and cap.

Hey thanks! I took some out for the shot but I keep them in both a glass IKEA cabinet in my closet and a separate wardrobe.
The faux leather risers are awesome for displaying 2 or more rows on a single shelf. Looks like the ones I bought aren't available for Prime shipping at the moment and the price went up (paid $23) but there should be alternatives on Amazon - Leatherette Risers.
For 1ML samples try this .357 size ammo box from walmart. You can get them on ebay as well, but walmart has the best price. For 1.5-3ML samples, try this blue ammo box from ebay. I organized my samples alphabetically by house and assign a range to each box so I know exactly which box a sample is in.

Plus 15% off code with "15NOW". Not seeing it anywhere else lower than $180 and most have it above $200. Nordstrom has it for almost $400 lol
i bought it on this site. Its around 15 now but i snagged it for 11. I got 3 different colognes on here for 25 bucks because of a coupon they had for first time buyers. when you make a purchase of 35 bucks or higher they give you 10 dollars off
EDIT: here is the site. how silly of me.
The B&BW men's gels can be used as both shower gel and shampoo. I've even tried it myself, because 'Oak' (not sure if they make it anymore) was close enough to unisex that I could get away with it. It works and has a pretty decent longevity for a shower gel. You also only need a small amount because it lathers like crazy. Do you condition? DH had issues with dandruff because he shampooed twice and never conditioned. I got him to try it once and he was immediately hooked. It's part of his routine now and the Tresemme that he has been helping me use up smells wonderful. Not to push B&BW- if you don't like it or it is really out of your price range, that's fine. Just thought I would point out that there are a few coupons And what a coincidence- I have a 2oz bottle of the Burt's Bees peppermint shower gel that I'm using right now. I love the smell but the consistency is really thin. I've only been using 2oz for a couple days and it's already gone. I've had that problem with other natural shower gels, though.
I had to look up what diffuser pumps are. You mean these? https://www.amazon.com/Dispenser-Cosmetic-Transfer-Refillable-Atomizer/dp/B07S2PM6KS?th=1
If so, yes, should work just as well as a syringe, I reckon.
I purchased two of these lipstick organizers, which is an ideal size for my 8 ml purse sprays (i.e. like what Scentbird sells): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FQOYCEO
It really makes it easy to find the fragrance I want in the morning.
Here you go. It's dove but it's fragrance free so it's not like it's really a male or female thing. I had a bigger adjustment with have 6 bottles but it's worth it
Nah you are not totally screwed. Worse case scenario, you can decant some into a travel atomizer and spray it from there. Something like this:
Classic HD Travalo with Removable U-Change System, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019RPN1N6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SH1BWZX183JNEWNYJ20G
I don’t know for sure if it would work but this one looks really similar: https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Perfume-Atomizer-Refillable-Dispenser/dp/B0799CCY2Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=decant+spray+bottles&qid=1620170874&sprefix=decant+&sr=8-14
Just wanted to add that Versace Bright Crystal would be another good one to try that’s quite affordable. It is very fresh, with a rose note. I remember that I got mini sizes of this and the Yellow Diamond on Amazon. I checked to see if they still had them and ran across this little gift set that has the two plus Crystal Noir. I like that one too, it has a sensual vibe to it imo, with a coconut note. A nice evening fragrance. I think you can still get these individually as minis too, but here’s the set if you’re interested, for about $30.
I buy 2ml glass atomizers from Amazon it's like 10 bucks for 60 of them. I dump my luckyscent samples in these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DX3TNRP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_0HYKFYP25QT5CGBNG2K6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
You'd be better off buying a case of them from Amazon. They're really cheap.
I know what you mean. What some people do is buy a bunch of cheap spray bottles and transfer the samples.
If you search Amazon for "mini glass spray bottle" you'll see plenty of options. I'm looking at one right now that offers 2ml glass sprayers at 30 for $10, or 20 for $7.75.

Chiming in with Nawaf here. I got the sampler off Amazon so I wouldn't have to invest too heavily up front: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V58LC6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_Y98uwcmYHW7sj
Also as others have said, Shagaf Oud and Oud Abyad are solid. I honestly haven't found many in the sampler pack that I haven't liked.
Insurrection 2 pure is cheaper than that atm , I dont know if Amazon has it wrong or if there is an actual 3.0oz or 89 ml and a 100 ml or if the 3.0oz is the only one.
But its $16 at
https://www.amazon.com/Reyane-Insurrection-Toilette-Spray-Ounce/dp/B00KCTR0ZW
a co-worker said she loved Viva La Juicy and trying to find a more budget friendly option I tried her out on Soft by Al-Rehab . It's very cheap and maybe not an impressive gift, but my co-worker loved in. In fact, all my co-workers (it was starbucks, so young, female) loved it so as a parting gift from that job I got a 6-pack off amazon for less than $20 to distribute. It comes as a 6ml oil roller ball, and it IS quite strong, since it's an oil you can just use a very little and it stays closer to the skin and just exudes as sort of a delicate, sweet warmth.
horse fat is amazing for dry skin! they sell the skinfood masks on amazon, which are a good intro to the ingredient, or you can get a full on cream like the guerisson 9 complex.
That's an interesting point. She just got some cheap stuff from Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YB3XM16/. She did not put all of it in there but I might try to convince her to get some nicer stuff.
Do you know any scientists? In my lab, we have racks that are meant to store various sized tubes and are great for organizing decants. There are freebie throw-away/cardboard ones that they could certainly get you or you could look for tube racks on amazon. This one can fit multiple sizes and has a lid, but will depend on the size decants and samples that you have.
Another way to limit your expense is getting a decant or split. Forums and groups: Basenotes Marketplace, various Facebook fragrance groups (just search fragrance under groups. They are private but easy to join); r/fragdecants, r/fragsplits, r/perfumeexchange; Fragrantica has a forum group. Online commerce sites: * Perfume Splits & Decants * Decant Shop * Scentsplit.com * http://www.myperfumesamples.com/mps/mimosa-cardamom-by-jo-malone-for-women-and-men * The Perfumed Court * Surrender to Chance * eBay; always check merchant rating and any negative reviews. Fragrancenet is good though it has like a 93% rating. For Indy merchants, I prefer 99.5%+ ratings. * Amazon has a 10+piece discovery set for $50
Edited to add the 30 ml size is $65 at a number of reputable stores.
You can get Moon Sparkle on Fragrancenet right now if you want it: https://www.fragrancenet.com/cologne/escada/escada-moon-sparkle/edt
If you're looking for something different but similar, check out Kanabeach Femme, awesome fragrance that you can get for under $20 on Amazon. I'm wearing it right now and it smells pretty awesome, still fun and fruity like an Escada but less synthetic/BBW vibe - and I get 8 hours of good performance from it. Notes are bergamot, strawberry, tangerine, jasmine, frangipani, sandalwood, amber and vanilla. If she likes Moon Sparkle, it's worth trying, $20 for 100mL.
I haven't tried on a travolo, but I have tried cleaning out various other decant bottles with little success. Isopropyl alcohol seems to work the best, but through soaking and continuously washing I have never been able to completely remove a scent. My advice would be to buy cheaper ones from somewhere like amazon such as this(I haven't bought from this seller but I have several similar to this), or if you just need general decant bottles this website is great, I have used them many times.
Plastic is pourous and the scent is going pentrate it, and all sprayers use some kind of plastic.
Luca Turin defines the gray market in a few pithy sentences. in the second intro,The Shifting Shape of Fragrance, 1918-2018, from the new Perfumes The Guide 2018,
I read both intros in the Amazon preview. Both are brilliant. You will think you know all about perfumes after reading them, because of Sanchez' and Turin's encyclopedic knowledge and superb writing skills.
Im from Canada and I got it at my local big chain convenience store (shoppers drug mart) and also the canadian amazon link for it is here . Never had a problem with it in my experience but I only have one so I cant comment on their consistency.
Amazon has a wide variety if you search up atomizers but I feel like they are even cheaper looking but maybe you can find the highest rated one?
Not sure exactly where you are, but big warehouse liquor stores tend to carry the real Luxardo Maraschino Cherries—there’s also Amazon.
While you’re looking, take that rich, sweet, unctuous flavor from those cherries, make it earthier, drier, and woodier, and you’ve got my favorite liqueur: Luxardo Maraschino liqueur. Many describe the flavor as almond-like, but honestly, there’s nothing else like it. A staple for prohibition era cocktails and a fine aperitif/digestif on its own.
I second the opinion below. Just decant it into a large bottle from amazon. I would suggest using a syringe to extract the juice from the current bottle though.
​
Search for "leur lock syringe" on amazon and use that. the ones below are what I use when making decants to sell. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXLK21L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The process below may seem tedious but it's really really simple and easy and the easiest way to transfer frags. So what you would do is take the syringe, and first widen the hole a bit so it fits over the inner nozzel of the bottle (i use a mini screw driver and heat up the tip over a flame and expand the opening.
​
Next you'll want to remove the tiny cap that covers the spray tube of the bottle, place the syringe over the tiny plastic tube, push down and hold as if you were spraying the perfume, and then pull up on the syringe and it will fill with the perfume. then just simply squirt it into the new bottle :D
​
Hope that made sense but it's definitely the easiest method, hardest part is making the hole of the syringe big enough, but once you do, it's cake!!
Apologies for the sloppy link, I can’t hyperlink to Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4RRW33/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2qfKFbNGD8P6J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I last bought these and I have no complaints.
This is the Pinaud Classic Vanilla:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009R354M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_mBnHFbANB9322
I can't imagine that anyone wouldn't be fascinated by L'Instant and would be very surprised to find that anyone didn't like it. But I will also mention that it really doesn't smell like just about anything else. I think if it sounds like something that intrigues, you should grab it.
Have fun!
haha, sure! I bought two, here's a Sunny one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MWV1JD7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and the other is a Cubii Jr which arrives Friday I think: https://www.cubii.com/products/cubii-jr
Been using the Sunny at work; it really does work. Might be a bit awkward at first, but you get used to it. Burn them cals! :)
I keep some of mine in these acrylic lipstick organizers (yes, they come in pink). If you have wall space there are some nifty wall racksmade for makeup and essential oils too.
If you’re serious about getting an orientation, a literal “guide” to fragrances after you looked at the free sources /u/Anatolysdream has linked to, you may have a look at Perfumes, The Guide by Luca Turin. The essay tracing 100 years of perfume history alone is worth the 10$ for the Kindle edition, and you’ll get a wealth of knowledgeable and readable current (by 2018) reviews. Turin is a scientist and fragrance professional with inside knowledge of the industry, always opinionated, often funny and even worth listening to if you don’t share his personal preferences. (He gave Aventus four stars despite his dislike of Creed in general.)
I keep mine in a standing jewelry mirror like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TGJZGQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9MxzFbKQT7ZWC
Downside is it only has about 2” depth shelves, so I can’t fit wider bottles.
I've always struggled with a good storage option. I keep them in my closet on top which I like, but I can't figure out the best way to utilize the space. I use monitor stands which isn't bad, but I don't love it. I stack them 2 high and the taller bottles only fit on top. I have around 55 bottles.
It's not a box, but I bought one of these to organize my small sprayers. Maybe you could put all the samples in it and wrap that in a regular box?
Thanks for the link. It's an interesting read indeed. Here is the one from Andy Tauer about "the price of things". The last edition of Lucas Turin's book is also very enlightening and quite funny for a book about fragrances.
Not sure what would be a good dupe for it but I found it cheaper at Walmart and Amazon for. ~$25.
Trussardi Donna Goccia A Goccia by Trussardi https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716R3Y4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UEm3Eb1J0K1KP

I have bought this set twice. They hold 6ml, and not one has ever leaked. You take it apart, and There is a glass atomizer in the inside. I just spray my perfume directly into the atomizer, so easy. I found them on amazon.
GOLF 6pcs 6ml Portable Mini... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0118MVV2E?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I use magnum round cases for my 1-5ml samples and lipstick holders for my 5-10ml decants.
A nebulizer disperses pure essential oil. The scent will be much stronger than a diffuser (or an ultrasonic diffuser) which is what you described.
I have one that is like this. It works pretty well but is a pain in the ass to clean. It will throw a scent as deep as an average candle -- depending on the specific oil you put in it.
When I use EOs I actually don't like the scent to be too strong, so my nebulizer doesn't get a lot of use. My favorite device is a simple travel ultrasonic diffuser that I always take to hotels with me. The air in hotel rooms is always dry so I like the cool mist in the air, and I make my own soothing and rejuvenating scent. It holds enough water to run for 4 hours on high or 8 on low and shuts itself off when it's dry. I fill it with water and add these essential oils: 2 drops Greenland moss, 1 drop balsam fir, 1 drop black spruce. I keep it next to the bed because I want maximum moisture near my face and hair. The scent is not overwhelming when you're right next to it, but you can still smell it as soon as you walk into the door.
Hi,
New to buying fragrances and I was planning to buy this one from Amazon.
I thought there was only 1 scent for LNDL but on Amazon, there seems to be 4 different options so I'm confused. Can someone recommend which scent is the best?
Take your desired atomizer to an auto parts store with a wide selection. Last time I had to do this (in search of an o-ring for my car) I had to go to the regional distributor for NAPA Auto Parts in my area. Call around to a few and see who has a big tray of assorted o-rings. Or if you'd rather just save yourself the time in exchange for a few more dollars you can order something like this.
You didn't spend long looking for this, did ya.
https://www.amazon.com/Boadicea-Victorious-Amber-Sapphire-collection/dp/B076Y3JK2W
Typed in Boadicea and it's the 2nd thing that comes up.
Looks like it depends on where you are: it's still listed under Avon/Philippines for instance but not here in the UK on our Avon online store. But can be found on Amazon
There also appears to have been two versions: one from 2007 ( OG Imari rounded top ) and one from 2015 ( above ) that apparently have the same plum and orchid notes but could smell quite different according to reviews 🤷🏼. So it depends which you've got the cream in ?!
Seduction 2015 is compared to CK Euphoria and Belle d'Opium.
thanks I will try this! It's so hard to find
​
I ended up going with this right now because the only options for cruelty-free were either $8, only offered the essential oils and no fun perfrumes, or this price. So here's hoping price correlates with "higher-quality" ingredients and will avoid headaches and such.
​
Any thoughts on that? In scents, does price genuinely tend to reflect ingredient quality? And do higher quality ingredients avoid using the stuff that gives me headaches?
​
thanks again :)
I bought 3ml and 5ml bottles for quick reapplication. I use this spray to transfer from full bottles to decants
I’m not sure what the Jo Malone and Byredo people use, but I got these from Amazon, and they worked well for me.

I’m sure it’s fine. It looks like it’s identical to the ones sold in Amazon by a dozen different companies. That one looks overpriced though. You can get a 4-pack on Amazon for $7 bucks.

Maybe even cheaper options if you look.
That would be Guccia Flora EDT --- it does say exactly what it is on the vial...

You mean like THIS ? 😂
I actually have it - £1:99, Home Bargains 😉 - smells great but like it's "namesake" , it's very strong ! I gave my partner's jacket ONE spray as it had been in storage and hung it up to air.on the back of the bathroom door. Could still smell it everytime I walked in there for over a week.
This is what I use to store my samples 2ml or smaller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MQ9KH1L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I group them by categories - currently testing, gourmands/vanillas, florals/designer, tobacco, spices, woods, summer/green, clean/soapy and then whatever else doesn't fit easily into those categories. The samples are alphebetized within those categories by name.
My larger decants get stored on a shelf and are organized the same way on risers that I made with strips of wood.
Looking for a fragrance to complement this : https://www.amazon.com/Kerasys-Lovely-Romantic-Perfumed-Shampoo/dp/B00GIFFWH2/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1662625724&refinements=p_4%3AKerasys&s=beauty&sr=1-1#customerReviews
Prefer the more refreshing , clean scents, have been gifted oud touch Franck olivier and the scent attacked my nose
Amazon has some really decent vanilla bean for very reasonable price!! I got this pack that is 10 beans for $15 and they are suuuuper juicy, I just used one bean for a little 2 oz bottle of oil, it’s super potent and makes me smell like cookies all day 🤤 10 Organic Madagascar Vanilla... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQV9WHG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Its a waterless nebulizer, not one of those diffusers that use a couple drops of oil and a cup of water.
I purchased one like this from aliexpress for around $60 (crazy they are 200 on amazon)

and then a few of the plug in styles, they produce a very fine....well not really a mist but more like a cloud at a set interval.
I'm not suggesting that your nose blind the rest of the day. There's an actual response called olfactory fatigue, that can occur when you try to differentiate between more than 3 perfumes in an enclosed space, over a short periods of time (like a shopping trip).
At a neuronal level, it very much applies. Olfactory neurons automatically depolarize whenever they're exposed to a new odor, which in turn triggers a series of responses that helps your nose adapt and become desensitised to the individual odor (see "Direct modulation by Ca2+–calmodulin of cyclic nucleotide-activated channel of rat olfactory receptor neurons" for a break down of the process here: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Direct-modulation-by-Ca2%2B%E2%80%93calmodulin-of-cyclic-of-Chen-Yau/116b150fd769a24d07c6e4315482c5805c0b3e2e).
The fact that most people have preferences that lean towards a specific group of perfume (orientals, gourmands, florals, Chipyres, etc) means that there is a higher likelihood of the perfumes you sample having shared base notes, and that combined with olfactory fatigue can make it difficult to interpret the subtle variations between individual scents.
lol amazon has them for the same price also 193 euros for 90ml HIGH frequency (love)
and magnetic blend 7 is only 138 euros full bottle 90ml on amazon, regular price

Hi guys, This is kind of a bizarre thing but I generally care deeply about my body wash scent and after looking for a while I surprisingly settled on a Dove body wash for daily use about 2 years ago. Specifically Dove Charcoal + Clay body wash. It’s said to have “bergamot, cardamom and cypress with the earthy tones of nutmeg..” and for some reason I’ve literally received compliments just based on the body wash itself (obviously it doesn’t project much, but when people are up close they can vaguely smell it).
I was wondering if anyone has smelled this particular wash, and knows of any fragrances that would be similar, or any fragrances with similar notes?
I swear by these! Just keep in mind for some reason it says the package comes with 5 but it’s only 3. Still a good deal, though. They’re high quality and nice looking. No issues at all with leaking or faulty atomizers
Not 100% sure since this post was 2 years ago, but I think it was this fragrance.

Here are a couple that I bought recently. In addition to sets, Amazon also has quite a few individual mini bottles, I’ve seen a lot of Versace. I think Bright Crystal would be a good bet for a teen girl.

there is a perfume for that fleur d'anus
on french amazon lmfao
Tom Ford Oud Mineral might be your thing.
If you really want to smell like loam, then you will like this oil

I have NO clue how they did it but it smells like freshly dug garden soil.
Thank you so much! I think you've used the right terminology here – wand caps. I don't know, but perhaps dabber is something different.
For reference, this is the size of the bottles of the five or so different perfumes I ordered (I have the Bright Crystal specifically, too):
