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.
