Buying guide
Perfume sample vs full bottle: when a 2ml vial is the smarter buy
A full bottle is a commitment. A 2ml perfume sample tells you if the scent lasts, how it dries down, and whether you will actually wear it.
What you are actually paying for
A full bottle buys volume and a nicer object. A perfume sample buys information: how the fragrance behaves on your skin, in your climate, and next to your clothes. If you have never worn the scent for a full day, the vial is the cheaper experiment.
ESCENTINO decants from authentic bottles into 2ml samples — typically around twenty sprays. That is several days of honest wear, not a single sniff from a blotter.
When a sample is enough
Choose a sample when you are comparing families, trying a niche house for the first time, or deciding between two similar designer flankers. It is also the right size if you only need a scent for a trip or a wedding weekend.
Browse the current range on our perfume samples page, then add two or three vials rather than guessing at one bottle.
When to consider a larger size
Size up after you have finished a vial and still want more — not after a first spray you liked in a shop. If you reach for the same 2ml perfume sample three days in a row, you have your answer.
