What are decants?

The Scent Sell Shop is ScentSell's own curated decant shop. We source full bottles of popular and niche fragrances, then fill them into small vials so you can try them before buying a full bottle.

What is a decant?

A decant is a small portion of a fragrance transferred from a full bottle into a smaller vial. Decants are perfect for:

  • Trying before buying — Test a fragrance over several days before committing to a $200+ bottle.
  • Travelling — Small vials are TSA-friendly and lightweight.
  • Collecting — Experience a wider range of fragrances without the full-bottle commitment.

Our decants are filled by hand using clean equipment. Each vial is clearly labelled with the fragrance name, brand, size, and fill date.
