A decant is a smaller quantity of perfume transferred from the original, full-sized bottle into a sterile, refillable atomizer. It allows you to try or enjoy a fragrance without purchasing the entire bottle.

Yes. All fragrance samples available on Gouttes Rares are 100% authentic, sourced directly from genuine bottles. We do NOT sell duplicate fragrances (dups), imitations, clones, or inspired scents.

Each perfume on our website includes a detailed description with an olfactory pyramid showing top, heart, and base notes, along with barometers for occasions, seasonality, daytime use, longevity, and sillage. This makes it easier to discover fragrances that match your preferences.

The olfactory pyramid is a breakdown of the fragrance structure: top notes (first impression), heart notes (the main character), and base notes (the lasting trail). We provide this for each perfume so you can better understand how the scent evolves over time.

Our main focus is on decants. Full bottles are only available upon request and can be purchased by contacting us directly through our Contact Page.

A 2ml decant usually lasts 20–25 sprays, enough for several occasions.

Due to the nature of perfume decants (hygiene and customization), returns and exchanges are generally not accepted. Please refer to our Refund Policy for details.

Our decants come in high-quality, travel-friendly atomizers (spray bottles) labeled with the perfume’s name. We ensure hygienic handling and proper storage to preserve the scent.

We ship to over 220 countries worldwide via DHL. As one of the few companies holding an IATA dangerous goods certification, we're fully authorized to ship fragrances internationally, legally and safely.

No. Gouttes Rares has no official affiliation with, or endorsement from, any fragrance brand or manufacturer. We simply decant authentic perfumes into smaller atomizers for sampling purposes.
