Fragrance Fractions specializes in authentic fragrance samples so you can explore designer and niche scents before committing to a full bottle.

Our perfume and aftershave samples come in 1ml, 2ml, and 5ml spray bottles, all freshly decanted from the original bottles to ensure 100% authenticity. Whether you’re comparing fragrance concentrations, testing longevity and projection throughout the day or searching for a new signature scent that works with your skin chemistry, fragrance sampling reveals far more than a quick in-store test ever can.

Our aftershave samples allow you to explore these premium brands without the commitment of purchasing a full-sized bottle.

Q: What is the best way to find a fragrance that suits me?

We categorizes fragrances by season, occasion, and style. Visit our Filter page and select your preferred options to narrow down your search.

Q: What are the differences between Eau de Parfum (EDP), Eau de Toilette (EDT), Cologne, and Parfum?

Fragrances come in different concentrations, each affecting their longevity, projection, and intensity. The most common types include Eau de Toilette (EDT), which is lighter and often fresher, and Eau de Parfum (EDP), which has a higher concentration of fragrance oils for longer-lasting wear. At the highest end, Extrait de Parfum (or Parfum) contains the most potent formulation, typically offering a richer and more concentrated scent experience.

You may also see terms like Elixir, Intense, and Extrait used by fragrance brands. While Extrait often aligns with highly concentrated perfumes, Elixir and Intense are primarily marketing terms. They don’t necessarily indicate a higher perfume oil concentration but instead suggest a stronger, deeper, or longer-lasting fragrance compared to the standard version of a scent. For example, a brand’s “Intense” version may have a different composition rather than just a higher concentration.

Trying fragrance samples is the best way to explore how these different strengths and formulations perform on your skin before committing to a full bottle.

Q: Do you offer larger-sized decants?

Yes! We provide 1ml, 2ml, and 5ml spray samples for a range of fragrances.

Q: What is the difference between Aftershave, Perfume and Fragrance?

We explore the history of this question in depth in our post on the topic but in this instance the terms are mostly interchangeable.
