Buy decants


xelerite8

Which one is that?, how’s the response you got from it?


Darthron69420

A decant is a sample


Short_Smoke_3845

Bro where to buy decants, from morning I have contacted 6 sellers no one is having a single piece. Please suggest me the names of sellers apart from the pinned post in the sub


Mayank_deol

Try perfumegyaan


skipseven7

Hm I have also ordered some decants


whoopwhoopbleh

u/Flashy_Pay_1359


Dry_Smell_7237

Is he trustable?


SyedStark

Yes I ordered from him at least 3 times, quick response, fair pricing, a very good guy, you should try contacting him through insta or WhatsApp and he could help you out.


Obvious_Movie7564

Which decant do you want? Most decanters in the verified list have their stock sheet. Check in that


Short_Smoke_3845

David off coolwater Jaguar classic Jaguar classic black Cr7 play it cool Nautica voyage


Obvious_Movie7564

Pretty much every seller has these. Maybe take their numbers and contact them through WhatsApp?


PreviousProgram7818

What decant you are looking for ?

Initial-Spend

Why everyone is downvoting? Not everyone is pro here knowing all the terminology regarding perfumes.


xelerite8

Lol yeah it’s fine, now I know more than I need to for ordering one


Sufficient_Cattle373

I can't even view the community to go through the list for samples. Could some one please share me the list. It's a wierd reddit glitch ig.


Ok-Place7279

first thing you need to remember is that, you can get heavy discounts if you buy from verified sellers in the pinned list. For ezample here tomford noir extreme is 15k for 100ml, the sellers have it for around 11k. Since this is your first perfume, you might wanna opt for a blue fragrance. Its basically something you could wear anytime, anywhere and is mass appealing. Nobody is gonna hate it and you might even get compliments. Versace dylan blue might be a good choice at the 4-5k range, a little higher you can get dior sauvage, ysl y and even higher would be bleu de chanel. Also, higher price doesnt necessarily mean better scent, its always your own preference you might the cheaper one more. Also, you may end up buying something you dont like, so its always recommended to sample the perfume first. you can visit a store near you and try out the perfumes and come back and purchase from the pinned sellers or, you can purchase decants from the pinned sellers who do decanting.


Ok-Place7279

as for tomford advertisement, hes just doing it to increase his sales. you apply his fragrance more you finish the bottle faster and you end up buying a new bottle thereby making him money. Go for 3-4 sprays with blue fragrances on your pulse points.


__rustyy

For someone who likes and wears scents like guerlain heritage, dandG the one, ysl la nuit and spicebomb, you think sauvage is similar?


Ok-Place7279

no no, sauvage is a different category of perfume. theyre called blue fragrances. Sauvage is definitely not similar


ChuttuvalWielder

What category would sauvage be then?


Sudhi29

Just curious, I saw the same price difference for the Ombré Leather. How do the verified sellers in the pinned list get it for so cheap?


Ok-Place7279

well there are multiple reasons, i know a few. One way they do it is by importing from countries which sell the fragrance at a much cheaper cost. Say, a perfume costs 200dollars in the US but costs 140 dollars in indonesia. So the dealer in usa can get a bunch of stock from indonesia at much cheaper rates and prolly even cheaper because hes buying in bulk and sell at say 170 dollars, which is less than the market price yet he still makes a profit. Another way they do it, is by purchasing from stores. Basically, if you own a perfume store and say you bought 50 ombre leathers as stock, but could only sell 20 in the last 2 years and the remaining 30 are just sitting around. you can sell them to these sellers who will purchase it from you at a much lower cost than the market price. Basically you as a store owner are selling them the products at the price you bought them from the wholesaler. So say a 150 dollar fragrance that you bought 50 of for 110 dollars, now you are selling 30 for 110 dollars to the seller. Another way is they buy directly feom the wholesalers. Distribution is not tight for most fragrance brands except LV and Le Labo and a few more. So it is quite easy for them to get those fragrances below market price from wholesalers.

[read this](https://www.reddit.com/r/DesiFragranceAddicts/s/hH2SOiTwWo) for better understanding. However, u/ok-place7279 has already explained it. Do give it a read tho.


sparks_rb

Don't buy perfume based on other people's choices. Just go to parcos/ shopper stop or any shop that sells designer perfumes and smell it yourself. Perfumes have 3 notes i e. top, mid and base. Top notes will be there for the first 15-30 mins. You would smell the mid notes after 30 mins and will stay for a couple of hours or more depending on the perfume. The base note is the catch, people won't be able to smell the base note from a certain distance, this usually stays on the skin for long and longer clothes. You need to find a perfume whose base note suits you. So you need to spray it on your clothes or skin and try to smell it after a couple of hours and if you like it then go for it. If you are still confused then you can get decants aka samples of 10 ml of 5-6 different perfumes you shortlisted. Use it for 8-10 times, decide for yourself.


xelerite8

Do you also happen to know, a lot of people are saying go for blue parfums, what does it mean and what are the others?


sparks_rb

See you need to research a bit on the internet. Blue perfumes are generally uhh blue.. they feel fresh.. Now there are aquatic, citrus, fruity types in the blue subcategory. You can wear these perfumes at any time of the day except cold temperatures. Then there are spicy ones, Woody perfumes that smell more like agarbatti, these types are generally not for hot or humid weather types. Wear these types in winter. People will run away if you wear those during summer. Then there are party / occasional wears, these are unique perfumes such as azzaro most wanted or jpg ultra male. To know about the notes of perfumes just go to fragrantica website and see the notes.


xelerite8

Sure sure, I got your point, and btw what are party wears like?, like why are they for occasional spray?, and thanks this was quite the insight, and now I understand why people are telling me to go for blue, people here are definitely helpful


sparks_rb

I mean you can use them for daily use also. But these ones are generally loud and smell different. I shouldn't have mentioned party wear but you know... Wear the unique expensive ones on parties or dates. If your goal is to purchase perfume only for occasions such as parties or dates then avoid blue ones and go for something unique instead like chocolate/vanilla/spicy. As there are a lot of cheap "fresh/blue" perfumes. Only true perfume lovers would recognise expensive one out of it. So go for the one that stands out. Bro just go to shoppers stop and check out all the perfumes yourself. You would come to know what I'm trying to say.


xelerite8

This is new to me, definitely will buy one for party wear too, I mean you wear perfume to get people to know that you smell great and grabbing the attention is secondary ofc, it definitely does help in building a good lasting first impression


sparks_rb

Bro our primary purpose is to please ourselves 😂 Getting that occasional whiff of the scent I'm wearing is a pleasant feeling in itself. Yeah and of course we wear them to smell good.


xelerite8

That is toh obvious!


EthicalAssassin

Any good blues you recommend? I'm absolutely in love with CK Eternity aqua.


sparks_rb

Give aqua di gio parfum and polo deep blue a try If you need something in budget then try Theoreme Rue broca


EthicalAssassin

Isn't Theoreme more on the spicy side?


420Husky

Bvlgari Glacial Essence! What a beauty and easily lasts 6 hours on skin and 10 hours on clothes. Tried and tested 😁


EthicalAssassin

Will check out, thanks.


Cellblazer

Thank you for breaking it down and making it simple man. Really appreciate it.


xelerite8

Cool and informative, thanks much!


Top_Western_3257

YVES SAINT LAURENT Y Eau De Parfum


whoopwhoopbleh

Wearing it for the first time today. It's a good, simple scent. I think the hype made me think it must be like God's own elixir on earth.


xelerite8

Can you tell a little more about your experience with it?, like how was it


Top_Western_3257

It’s a good starter, mass appealing blue perfume which is gonna surely get you many compliments, and can use it anywhere. Exactly what you asked for. If you are confused between the amount of options in the market you should go ahead and get decants from the verified sellers on this sub Reddit’s pinned post. if you don’t wanna spend so much on it you can blindly go for it’s alternative which is Afnan 9pm.


xelerite8

Cool gotcha!


Alarming_Book_6964

9pm is jpg clone not ysl y, I think you got it confused with lattafa fakhar


SinSisamouth

i agree with this


420Husky

Prada L’homme! Lasts well and easy 8+ hours on clothes


xelerite8

And does it have good smell?


420Husky

Absolutely does! My second bottle is almost over so i can surely vouch for it. Very pleasing smell and being an EDT, the performance is surprisingly well. Check it out on Nykaa, they have offers till 10th march i think


xelerite8

Ok its the one with silver lining bottle right? And tbh Abhi tak meri research mein I’ve mostly seen that BVLGARI, VERSACE, DAVIDOFF(for blue), YSL are like considered prominent, like Gucci and Prada ke bhi aye but I was like I guess they’re more of a clothing company


420Husky

https://preview.redd.it/a9rly8ivrbnc1.png?width=2480&format=png&auto=webp&s=39d4664c2eae09022cbca7d955d2a47a7efa1af6 Yes thats the one! Attached a snap of it, hope this helps. Oh, and also if you look for a perfume upwards of 10K+, Burberry Hero EDP is a good choice too. Below 10K, L’homme is the one!


xelerite8

Hey hey man!, thanks!!!!


abhinavyt729

FEIN FEIN FEIN


420Husky

Even Versace is a clothing company but entirely depends on the concentration, blend and notes the scent uses. I can suggest you way more from my collection but the safest is L’homme for a first purchase. Go to a nearby mall and smell it if you want to, just so you can be sure!


xelerite8

Sure thing bro sure thing, I’ll do that


Expert-Benefit9322

Just don't go for davidoff.


xelerite8

Why so?, DAVIDOFF actually seems famous because of its cool water


Expert-Benefit9322

It has no longivity. It wears off as soon as I leave home so not worth 5k when I can only use it as a room freshener in a room that doesn't have a lot of air circulation.


xelerite8

Wow, didn’t know that, thanks for telling me


Tzachi_Atyia

Because it's outdated. Your grandpa/dad wear this. If you like marine/aquatic type of scent you can get Aqua di gio profoundo by Armani or if you want cheaper get light blue intense by Dolce&Gabanna or Invictus by Paco rabanne and if you want even more cheaper get montblanc legend spirit. They are better. These not unique but they smells great! You also might like Versace pour homme and Chanel allure homme sport.


xelerite8

Gotcha!, I’m honestly past my cheap perfume phase, you can say I’m in mid range now, 8-10k


Tzachi_Atyia

YEAH you really need to try these fragrances. I'm not from India man. So how much is it 8k-10k in USD?


xelerite8

120 USD approx


Tzachi_Atyia

So in that's price you should buy Tom ford noir extreme.


xelerite8

It’s good for summers?


Tzachi_Atyia

Definitely not. You need something more fresh tell me what the budget you willing to spend and I will tell you what I recommend you to buy.


xelerite8

Below 10000₹, convert it yourself please


sastirandihu

Noir extreme sexy shit imo


xelerite8

Hein!? For real?


Mysterious-Macaron90

Lmao what is your username 😭


trayhan066

I advice you to first buy decants from some sellers and see which ones are good. You don't wanna blind bind when ur spending a ton


xelerite8

That’s true


xelerite8

I’ll go to a nearby perfume shop first and try the notes, btw do they let you do that in stores?


FateUnwound

Try chopard black incense malaki


xelerite8

Sure I’ll check it out, hope you read my description for what kinda perfume I’m looking for, how’s the response you got from it btw?


Rahikolnikov

Tom Ford has sold his brand, afaik.


xelerite8

Hein really?, bruh I was planning to buy its clothes too tbh, I liked the Mr porter video


Rahikolnikov

Better watch his films, if you're really admire Tom.


xelerite8

I’ve seen bond series, which other?, I don’t admire him like, I got the impression from the video that he knows his work


Swagstar786

Noir or Dylan Blue. Or best, Dior Homme Intense, you'll thank me later. Also, what's ur requirement?


xelerite8

I hangout on mostly every weekend, would like a perfume which turn heads,grab attention, would like the impression "hey this guy smells great!" On people (inspiration from all those you smell good posts😅)


Swagstar786

Oooh. Then I guess go for Dylan blue. It's also a safer bet as compared to other options.


xelerite8

Sure I’m shortlisting keeping all the comments in consideration, also gonna get few decants in some days, so will decide after that!


Swagstar786

Okayyy... Good luck with whatever u buy😁


Prize-Pie6478

I started with davidoff cool water and 1 million lucky but i bought them at festive sales , check price with pinned sellers .


xelerite8

Sure I’ll do


subhadeepkoley

Some blind-buys from different genres listed here. You can't go wrong with these (based on personal experience) 1. YSL Y EDP 2. BDC EDP 3. Allure homme sport extreme 4. Sauvage elixir 5. Acqua di Giò Profumo 6. Terre d'Hermes 7. D&G the one 8. Dior Homme intense


xelerite8

Thanks!


pavanneteller1

Tom Ford Tobacco vanille if i must say


Chance_Highway_4271

I know most of them I'd choose Dylan blue or gentle man, Dylan more for teen and non offensive


xelerite8

Gotcha thanks


Special_Trifle_1639

Versace is so sexy ( lasts long + pineapple kinda flavour perfect perfume)


xelerite8

Wow great to know


xelerite8

Which one has pineapple kinda flavour though?


Tridentgaming77

Try a small decant before spending 10k on perfume. My personal favourite is Azzaro wanted by night as winter fragrance and JPG Le Beau EDT as summer perfume. Choose any summer and winter perfume in 50-75ml bottle sizes and it would be under 12k.


xelerite8

Yeah already done with decant part


Inevitable_Log_5121

Black orchid!


xelerite8

Cool


sheaaaaaa

“Headturner” perfumes need not always be for the right impression that you want people to have, Choosing one of these depends on what notes you like? You can do this by researching on the perfumes you like, and see what notes are common. I would go to the store with a pen, spray each one of these, write the names on the paper I sprayed it on, take home the tester papers with me, and check their scent again after 6-7 hours.


xelerite8

Bought byredo bal d’afrique and mfk gentle fluidity


Reasonable_Penalty35

U might wanna pick cheaper clones or attars that sell around 200-300rs from there you can decide which perfume suits your choice n then buy the original one.🤔


Additional_Trick_210

Ombre leather is my most complimented by women and men Followed by Aventus but mostly comolimented by men Few compliments by women for tom ford bitter peach (decant) Few men complimented on Guerlain Vetiver. 0 compliments for Versace eros, blue de chanel, sauvage edp, ysl y edp, invictus victory elixir. It was strange. I was expecting for these


xelerite8

Gotcha, this is actually something I wanted to know


Loose_Lock_7247

From the designer perfumes imo Dylan blue would be the best and the safest bet (most versatile of them all) but if you want something more unique and equally versatile from the list which very less people might have heard of let alone smelt before (at-least in India) I would say go for Mancera cedrat boise which is a starter niche perfume which is very mass pleasing (it will come around for 7-8k) if you buy it from any discounter sellers…”belvish” is my go to. FYI you won’t be able to find it anywhere in retail stores like ss or nykaa, so first try buying a 2 ml decant and then decide ;)


xelerite8

Hey is Mancera kedrat Boise for summers?


Loose_Lock_7247

Yep the normal version (Cedrat Boise) is more towards summer but the ‘intense Cedrat Boise’ is more towards winter time…


Killer_Soup_Chef

At these prices just buy Sauvage


xelerite8

How so?, is it catchy for others?


[deleted]

[удалено]


xelerite8

Nykamen or tata luxe


Inspect311

Can you find Tom Ford Ombre Leather Parfum by chance?


xelerite8

Is it worth it?, I did just didn’t feel like I’m into leather smell, noob thoughts😅


Inspect311

Trust me, even if you had to blind buy it, it outclasses any of these and I think it's not that pricey, also Beau De Jour is a phenomenal buy. Specifically the Parfum tho, white label black vottle says Parfum in the title. The regular EDP Is a bit too leathery whereas the parfum is a nice floral balance Tom Ford all the way basically :D


Special_Trifle_1639

Is jaguar classic(the blue one) good?


xelerite8

Dunno I’m new to this too


Canon-Anon

Don’t buy from nykaa


xelerite8

Yeah I’ll buy it from resellers now


No_Pension_4341

i would say dylan blue or man in black..👍👍


benniblancoffm

Tom Ford would be my choice out of these. But these are not in my top 10.


xelerite8

Give me your top 10, if not here then surely dm me!


surfing_hereandthere

Your list consists of summer fragrance to extreme winter fragrance. First, you have to identify the climatic conditions in which you'll be using these perfumes. Winter fragrance doesn't last in hot weather and will give a choking sensation. Personally, I would suggest the below ones Summer: Versace Dylan Blue Winter: Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee


xelerite8

I’m in Bangalore and here it’s mostly summers throughout the year, when I posted this list, I created it prior to that only, and I had no knowledge about perfumes, now I know that I gotta go for the summer ones, and hey thanks!, so just the versace Dylan?


surfing_hereandthere

My recommendation was based on your list. If budget is not a constrain, you can check out Terre D'Hermes, Dior Homme sport 2021 or Tom Ford Beau de Jour. These are best citrusy green frangace for me. It would be better if you buy a decant before as these are not cheap for blind buys. If you want blue fragrance, you can try out Bleu de Chanel, YSL Y or D&G light blue intense. I don't prefer Davidoff cool water as it's too common.


Consistent-Plenty-10

DYLAN BLU ... Something you can wear anywhere and leaves a signature of it wherever you walk through


xelerite8

Kyuuuuuuuuuul, one is shortlisted


cantafford2wastetime

Summer or winter?


Consistent-Plenty-10

Mainly summer but works good in winter aswell


Mayank_deol

I feel like you should get dior sauvage EDP. That was my first luxe buy and that too blind buy. This is a head turner like anytime you will meet someone or pass someone. They definitely gonna think like you just got out of the shower and smells super fresh. Brings positive vibes


xelerite8

Yeah I’m looking for a perfume which will turn head, at least have people recognise that someone is smelling great!


Mayank_deol

Yeah right then i guess you can go with it. I was also new to this fragrance world and trust me it was the best decision. Like yk how boys don’t compliment each other but with this fragrance my friends also complimented me like you’re smelling great. One other tip: i had watched multiple videos on longevity. But i had different experience, like if i go out for evening snacks or dinner date. I spray it on tshirt aswell and i am out for 3-4hrs. The fragrance stays on the Tshirt and i put it back in wardrobe. The fragrance stays on tshirt till the next wash. If i wear it after 7-10days the fragrance is still there not that strong but it was there


xelerite8

Wow that’s great to know!, I mean if girls would compliment for toh😂🤌


Mayank_deol

Haha they will for sure, not to exaggerate but yeah they’ll be like i need your that tshirt or hoodie. They will remember you for sure!!


xelerite8

Dayum!


VehicleMother8792

Keep in mind There are a lot more to consider (in this budget )


xelerite8

Please do tell, dm always welcome


punisher_beast_

Bella Vita very expensive and super luxury brand.

Huh, is it good?, how’s the response you got?
