What is the best legit site for decants? Best prices...

If you're just getting your feet wet
Order with confidence, but these guys are small time. So it'll take a few days/10 days to actually get your stuff. (OTOH Montagne Parfums was like 3 weeks, not during a holiday...)

Now if you're really looking for something that'a bit harder to find.

Same as the first set, never had any problem with these guys.

If you are 'bout dem niche scents

Both of these places have store fronts, so the prices are higher, but the service is better imo.

You need a lot of juice? I.e. a Travel Spray
These are all discounters. I've only dealt with Fragrance Buy, so I'd do my research on the others.

Honorable Mentions - FB/Reddit sellers gone "legit"
Have used Venba, but not Neveah.

If you're really hard up for something, and don't mind a bit of gambling
Have researched my folks on reddit a few times and had good transactions.
FB? Not yet.

Under no circumstances should you gamble with (IMO)
  • Etsy
  • Mercari
  • E-Bay
And while we're on the topic of gambling - unscrupulous fragrance sellers on these platforms
  • Amazon
  • Wal-Mart
Independent Chinese sellers always have stuff on the low, and it's often fake.
Even if you buy it "from the brand" on Amazon - it's all packed in the same bin at the warehouse (from what i've been told) and you can still get a fake

Don't know if it's the best but scentsplit.com and microperfumes.com are what most people use for decants.

Ebay is good but you run the risk of fakes.

I can't rep you guys for some reason, but I appreciate yall.

I created a cart on perfuum but the site looked a little sketchy so I wanted to check with the brehs first. Decantx seems to have good prices.

Also be sure to check the MFR.

Sometimes it's cheaper to get a 2ml sample straight from the source. Decants usually 3x the price per ml. (and sometimes more..)

Yeah, I checked w/ MFR, but since I'm ordering about a dozen different samples it's better for me shipping wise to just get from one source.

My current cologne collection is too oud/evening/date night centric, so I'm in search of adding 2-3 everyday colognes.

Parfums De Marley has a decent pack of 7x1.5ml apiece for $50 and they give you two more 1.5s complimentary. Free shipping.

I'm sick Jomashop had the Alghabra pack of 12x2ml on sale for $36 and I missed it.

Where the fukk are you getting all this money?
Are you pushing weight?

Or even worse....are you a Corporate VP at United Healthcare?
:mjlol:
Nah man. I'm comfortable but not anywhere near VP money. You acting like I'm buying full bottles of Boadicea The Victorious or something. You can get Argos for a little over $100 for a 30mL. Just gotta be smart with these fragrance purchases and catch deals at the right time.
fragrancebuy.ca been taking all my money lately. Deals are too good to pass up.

I got a bottle of Triumph of Bacchus and a decant of Fall of Phaeton

I've said on here that I stopped buying decants because I have too many and I gotta use these up.

But y'all posting stuff that got me wanting to get back in the game.

:wow:

Coachrob 619 loves that boadicea the victorious. I need to try to get a sample. Coach Rob usually 100% on what smells goods on bruthas.
