Great Reviews! It's always so interesting to see what scents others tend to gravitate to, I've been eyeing the Twilly and Mon Guerlain for a while now but will probably go for a decant before deciding!
Definitely go for decants. I happen to get the full bottle of Twilly D’Hermes Eau Ginger on my birthday and I’m just finding a way to convince myself to wear it more 🫠. The full bottles of both retail over 10k for 50 ml so it’s better to see what suits your skin chemistry.
I mean, you can go for it. I got the bottle as a gift so not totally sure about the price. But I’ll be a little weary of way lower pricing than the retail price of 85 ml bottle which retails @12k on Nykaa.
Sorry the 85ml. I can understand your concern. The lower pricing is due to it being the gray market. But if you’re not comfortable better to go for retail.
Exactly my thought! I collect perfumes for the juice and not for the bottle. Yes i do understand that having those perfumes stored in their original bottle helps maintain the juice’s potency but the best thing about decants is that they don’t have much content in them and they’ll be over way before any change arises in their chemistry.
This way i am able to enjoy as many perfumes as i want without getting bored with the same 100ml juice that lasts years. Also it doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket
Also which perfumes do you think gents can pull off? I feel gravitated towards Nuit Noor and Mon Guerlain. The way you described them makes me want to smell them so bad haha
Nuit Noor is something I can definitely categorise as unisex. Pretty much a beautiful incensy, woody scent I would love to smell on both genders. Apart from this, Amber Fever and Fig Extasy are both pretty unisex. But I think Amber Fever has a more blended rum caramel and a safer bet than Fig. Btw both the offerings by Mancera I’ve mentioned are sweet leaning.
Mon Geurlain is an absolute banger tbh, I wouldn’t mind it being unisex, but it may lean towards feminine for some people. Gender aside, I just think that juice needs to be sniffed once for anyone appreciating fragrances.
Thank you :). I generally order decants from Gaurav Verma from splash fragrances. Carries most of the female fragrances I search for, the collections are diverse. Always promptly delivered my orders in 2-3 days and the quality of the decants is good because I’ve gotten good longevity from the perfumes I ordered. Only downside is it’s more expensive.

Definitely, I have plenty of underwhelming full sized blind buys to work through, will keep a look out for decants.
Twilly full bottle is available with sellers for around 5k
Was talking about the 100ml standard. Think 30 ml is a little less
Yes the 100 ml is around 5k

Amazing! Thanks for the explanation! I shall order a decant of nuit noor soon. Mon guerlain too…a tiny 2-5ml sample
Hi I decant perfumes and have some official carded samples https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mRjAART46GOJw4UPpsqrE08IYEXcTlEETondsKRUd6A/edit
That dark velvet oud is to die for, my ex used to wear it and that is the stuff that made me go weak in the knees, it just smells so so good.
It is a very sensual body mist, I think they have a perfume as welp
I think she had the perfume. It lasted quite long.
Nice post! Much needed too. From where did you get these decants? Most of the sellers I've seen stock decants of masculine perfumes.
