Authenticity Guarantee & FAQ | The Decant Collective

Our Authenticity Guarantee

Every fragrance you receive from The Decant Collective is decanted directly from 100% genuine, commercially purchased designer bottles. We never use fragrance oils, synthetic substitutes, or counterfeit products — only the real thing, exactly as the house intended.

We source our bottles through authorised UK retailers and trusted suppliers, and every decant is prepared in-house with care. What arrives in your vial is the same fragrance you'd find at a department store counter — just in a size that lets you explore without commitment.

We stand behind every order. If you ever have a concern about your decant, contact us and we'll make it right.

How We Decant

Our process is designed to preserve the integrity of every fragrance:

Genuine source bottles — We work exclusively from authentic, sealed designer bottles purchased from reputable UK retailers.
Hygienic preparation — Each decant is prepared in a clean environment using dedicated equipment to prevent cross-contamination between fragrances.
Premium glass vials — We use high-quality glass atomisers and vials to protect the fragrance from light and air degradation.
Your sizes — We offer 3ml, 5ml, and 10ml options so you can sample, travel, or explore a full wear before committing to a full bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a decant?

A decant is a smaller portion of a fragrance transferred from an original full-size bottle into a separate vial or atomiser. It's the most honest way to try a luxury fragrance — the exact same juice, in a size that suits you.

Are your decants genuine?

Yes, always. Every fragrance is decanted from an authentic, commercially purchased bottle. We do not use fragrance oils or imitations.

What sizes do you offer?

We offer 3ml, 5ml, and 10ml decants. Size availability varies by fragrance — check the individual product listing for options.

How long will delivery take?

We dispatch UK orders within 1–3 business days. Standard delivery typically takes 2–4 business days after dispatch. You'll receive a confirmation email when your order ships.

How should I store my decant?

Store your vial upright, away from direct sunlight and heat. A cool, dark drawer or cabinet is ideal. Properly stored, your decant will retain its character for years.

What if I have a problem with my order?

We're a small UK-based business and we take every order personally. If something isn't right, please get in touch via our Contact page and we'll resolve it promptly.
