Everything You Need to Know
Do you have a physical store?
No. AR Aromas is an online-only store, allowing us to offer authentic fragrance samples and decants delivered directly to your door.
Do you sell full bottles?
No. We specialize in authentic fragrance samples and decants. Our mission is to help you experience a fragrance before investing in a full-size bottle. Once you discover a scent you love, you can purchase the full bottle from the brand or your preferred retailer.
Are your fragrances authentic?
Yes. Every fragrance we sell is 100% authentic and sourced from genuine retail bottles. We never sell counterfeit, inspired, or diluted fragrances
What is a fragrance decant?
A decant is a smaller portion of an original fragrance that has been carefully transferred from the manufacturer's bottle into a premium atomizer. It contains the exact same fragrance as the original bottle—just in a more convenient size.
Why should I buy a sample first?
Every fragrance smells different depending on your skin chemistry and personal preference. Sampling lets you wear a fragrance for several days before deciding whether it's worth purchasing a full bottle.
What sizes do you offer?
We offer 1ml, 2ml, 5ml, and 10ml authentic fragrance samples and decants, making it easy to experience a scent before committing to a full-size bottle.
1ml – Perfect for a quick first impression.
2ml – Ideal for wearing a fragrance over several days.
5ml – Great for extended testing or occasional wear.
10ml – Our travel-friendly size, perfect for everyday use or taking your favorite fragrance on the go
Whether you're exploring a new scent or building a fragrance collection, our sample sizes let you try before you buy with confidence.
Will my decant smell exactly like the original bottle?
Yes. Our decants are taken directly from authentic retail bottles, so you'll receive the exact same fragrance as the original bottle.
How are your decants prepared?
Every decant is hand-filled using clean, professional techniques to preserve the fragrance's quality and ensure a consistent spraying experience.
How many sprays are in each sample size?
Approximate spray counts are:
2ml: 20–30 sprays
5ml: 60–75 sprays
10ml: 120–150 sprays
Actual usage may vary depending on how heavily you spray.
Why are decants less expensive than full bottles?
You're paying only for the amount of fragrance you want to try—not the full bottle, packaging, or presentation. It's an affordable way to explore luxury and niche fragrances.
Can I travel with these fragrances?
Absolutely. Our travel-size decants are compact and perfect for carrying in your pocket, purse, gym bag, or carry-on luggage.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. We currently ship throughout the United States. Every order is carefully packaged to help ensure your fragrances arrive safely.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Shipping times depend on your location and the shipping option selected during checkout.
Can I return my order?
Due to the nature of fragrance products, we cannot accept returns on opened items. However, if your order arrives damaged or there's an issue with your purchase, please contact us and we'll make it right.
How should I store my fragrances?
Store fragrances in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. Proper storage helps preserve the scent and extend its longevity.
What are fragrance decants?
Fragrance decants are authentic perfumes transferred from the manufacturer's original bottle into smaller spray bottles. They're a convenient and affordable way to experience premium fragrances without purchasing a full-size bottle.
Are perfume decants worth buying?
Yes. Decants allow you to thoroughly test a fragrance on your skin before investing in an expensive full bottle. They're also ideal for travel and for building a diverse fragrance collection.
How do I choose the right fragrance?
Consider the occasion, season, and scent family you enjoy. If you're unsure, sampling several fragrances is the best way to discover what works with your skin and personal style.
What's the difference between niche and designer fragrances?
Designer fragrances are created by well-known fashion brands and are often designed to appeal to a broad audience.
Niche fragrances are made by perfume houses that focus exclusively on fragrance, often using unique ingredients, artistic compositions, and smaller production runs.
Which fragrances are your best sellers?
Our best-selling fragrances change based on availability and customer demand. Visit our Best Sellers collection to discover the fragrances our customers love most.
Do fragrances expire?
While fragrances don't have a strict expiration date, their scent can gradually change over time if stored improperly. Keeping them away from heat and sunlight helps maintain their quality for many years.
Can I layer different fragrances?
Yes. Layering fragrances allows you to create a unique scent that's personalized to you. Start with lighter fragrances and experiment with complementary notes until you find combinations you enjoy.
How long does perfume last on skin?
Longevity depends on the fragrance concentration, ingredients, your skin type, and environmental conditions.
As a general guide:
Eau de Cologne: 2–3 hours
Eau de Toilette: 4–6 hours
Eau de Parfum: 6–10 hours
Parfum/Extrait: 8–12+ hours
What does "Try Before You Buy" mean?
It means you can experience an authentic fragrance in a smaller, affordable size before deciding whether to purchase the full bottle. This helps you avoid costly blind buys and ensures you'll love the fragrance before making a larger investment.
