When you purchase from Vintage Decants, you'll receive a hand-decanted sample curated from a quality-tested, authentic vintage fragrance. The bottle shown in the listing is the exact fragrance your decant will come from. We do not sell full bottles. Because of the rarity of the fragrances we stock, prices and quantities may subject to change at any time based on current market value and availability. When one of our fragrances runs low or sells out, it may be out of stock for an unknown period. Our advice is, if you see something you like, buy it before it's gone. Our fragrance bottles are vintage and may differ in a style, scent, or color from what you’re used to. Due to batch variations and age, there could be slight differences within any fragrance's original scent profile. We operate independently, with no affiliation to any other brand, website, or individual. Our items may contain natural ingredients like oakmoss. If you're sensitive to perfume or develop skin irritation, discontinue use or consider spraying on fabric.
