Samples (or decants) are smaller amounts of perfume dispensed into handy, small atomizers. They're the perfect way to try out a fragrance without having to invest in an expensive full-size bottle. This way, you avoid bad purchases and can discover which perfumes truly suit you.

In addition, decants are compact and easy to carry — ideal for in your bag, while traveling, or on the go.

● The 1 ml and 2 ml variants are perfect for getting to know a fragrance.

● The 5 ml and 10 ml sizes are ideal if you want to expand your perfume collection in an accessible and affordable way.

This is, of course, highly individual, depending on how often and how many sprays you use each time. Here's an estimate for daily use:

• 1 ml : Approximately 15-20 sprays, good for about three days - one week.
• 2 ml : Approximately 30-40 sprays, good for 1-2 weeks.
• 5 ml : Approximately 75-100 sprays, good for about a month.
• 10 ml : Approximately 150-200 sprays, good for 1-2 months.

Fragrances are produced in different concentrations, determined
by the ratio of aromatic oils to ethanol and water. Because there
there is no set standard in the industry, strength can vary between
Brands. One brand's eau de parfum can be just as strong as another's eau de toilette. So it's important not to attach too much importance to it.

Perfume (also called Extrait de Parfum, Perfume or Perfume Extract)
typically contains between 15% and 40% aromatic compounds. The
The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) estimates that it is usually around
20%. While it's difficult to make general statements, the concentration in perfumes is generally the longest-lasting and strongest.
This is partly due to the structure and formula, which focus more on the base notes (about 50%). Because these base notes linger the longest, perfumes often outperform other fragrances in longevity.

Eau de parfum has a concentration of approximately 10% to 20%, with the IFRA estimating that most are around 15%. Unlike extras, eau de parfum places more emphasis on the more refreshing heart and top notes: only about 30% consists of base notes, about 40% of the top notes, and 30% of the heart notes.

Eau de toilette has a concentration of about 5% to 15%, with most fragrances again falling in the middle, averaging around 10%. Since the dawn of modern perfumery, eau de toilettes have been offered as affordable alternatives to more expensive perfume concentrations. Their lower price and focus on fresh, sparkling top and heart notes have made them popular for everyday use. An average eau de toilette consists of 50% top notes, 30% heart notes, and only 20% base notes.

A perfume is made up of three layers

Top notes
can be described as the first impression of a perfume; This
Opening notes are often recognized as light, sharp and fresh scents.
They evaporate relatively quickly.

Heart notes
(or middle notes) form, as the name suggests, the heart of your
Perfume. These develop after the top notes have faded and often remain noticeable for several hours. They give depth and character to the perfume.

Base notes
In a perfume, they form the foundation upon which the fragrance is built and give the final impression of the scent; they add depth and fullness to a fragrance. They ensure that the perfume lingers on the skin for a long time.
