5 ml or 10 ml decant: which size to choose?
Updated
It's the most common question before a first order. The right size depends on one thing: do you want to discover a perfume, or make it an everyday companion?
5 ml: for discovering
A 5 ml decant delivers roughly 50 to 60 sprays, about one to two weeks of regular use. It's the perfect format to test a fragrance over time before investing in a full bottle, or to enjoy an occasional perfume without overspending.
10 ml: for everyday wear
The 10 ml doubles the quantity — roughly 100 to 120 sprays, about three to four weeks. It's the choice for those who already know the fragrance and want it on hand, or who rotate several perfumes by mood.
Both travel anywhere
Both 5 ml and 10 ml pass cabin security without issue (well under the 100 ml limit) and slip into a pocket or bag. Neither size forces you to choose between your perfume and your carry-on.
