    Thanks for this video, Ashton. I found it extremely helpful, as I always have a fragrance I want to bring with me on a trip, but usually don't because I don't want to loose the juice in its entirety. Somehow, I never even considered decanting the juice myself. Thanks again, its appreciated and have a great Vacation!

    I decant as well on eBay, the plastic ones like you said definitely evaporate and leak more then glass. If someone does go that route I suggest using the fragrance quickly as the smell while change if left in the bottle for long enough, I have had some change color too. I may have to invest in some of that tape. I just use clear tape around the outside of the bottle where the threading is underneath and I haven't had any complaints and I've sold quite a few.

    • @GentsScents
      @GentsScents  Před 7 lety +1

      You are absolutely correct. Clear tape is an option also and if that's working for you then no need to change. Thank you for watching!

    I was hoping you would talk about the syringe method for decanting. Its alot more effective and keeps the fragrance fresh because its alot less if not at all exposed to air . Iv been having trouble with extracting some of my colognes the with syringe (needless ) and trying to see if theres other ways I can do it. I don't like spraying into bottle/funnel. I have noticed it looses potency and longevity.

  • @Falopianinseminator
    @Falopianinseminator Před 5 lety

    I have a question, is it really safe to use the syringe method when decanting? Won't it contaminate the fragrance inside the bottle with air? I Have a friend who used the syringe method and the scent of his cologne changed...

    • @jaymartinson3236
      @jaymartinson3236 Před rokem

      Every time you spray the fragrance, air has to enter the bottle to fill the space of the liquid being sprayed out... So you are introducing air every time you spray a fragrence anyway.

    • @bryanryan4504
      @bryanryan4504 Před rokem

      Yeah I was thinking the same. I would think the fragrance chemistry changes a bit when atomized. The decant process that way, if you can smell it while doing it, that means lot of the frag atoms are in the air.

  • @Dougking1980
    @Dougking1980 Před 5 lety +1

    You are not supposed to cut Teflon tape. You should pull it apart as cutting leaves a hard stop in the tape potentially causing leaks. When its pulled apart it leaves a semi-tapered edge which doesn't cause a bump. Its all in the directions.

    The problem with flying with parfum bottles is the Air pressure in the Airplane. The change of pressure causes the Bottle to leak in the bag. Your know, when you fly and your ears hurt form the pressure diffrence and you need to de-compress, same with the Bottles, and they start leaking.

  • @cjdontthink2
    @cjdontthink2 Před 7 lety +1

    My girlfriend works at sephora and I've been having her grab me samples whenever she works. They use nice hard plastic atomizers. I can squeeze them as hard as I can and they do not flex. They also are such a hard plastic, I have trouble believing they'd leech into the fragrance. The caps stay on fairly securely with Teflon tape added alone. You can get these from sephora for free as well.

    • @GentsScents
      @GentsScents  Před 7 lety

      Those are different atomizers than the ones I'm talking about in the video. The ones that I'm talking about are the 5 and 10ml plastic atomizers that you can find on eBay and that are used by myperfumesamples.com. The Sephora sample atomizers are higher quality than the more common 5 and 10ml plastic atomizers.

    • @cjdontthink2
      @cjdontthink2 Před 7 lety

      Gents Scents Yeah, I was mentioning it more as another option for people. It's a cheap option, but you don't get as much volume, unless you grab a few samples quite often. I should probably buy some bigger glass ones like you have.

    • @GentsScents
      @GentsScents  Před 7 lety

      Oh yeah, it's definitely a solid option. Sephora is very generous and the samples they give you are a high quality plastic so you don't have to worry about it shattering. I recommend going to Sephora and getting the samples to try things out (or like you said to have a smaller travel size for something you might love and already own).

    • @cjdontthink2
      @cjdontthink2 Před 7 lety

      Gents Scents Luckily for me, since my girlfriend works there, I have a list of fragrances I want her to grab :). Obviously I'm mostly limited to designer scents, but they do have a great selection of Tom Ford private blends too.

    • @GentsScents
      @GentsScents  Před 7 lety

      That's pretty sweet though, there are a bunch of high quality designers out there and there are some great private blends too. You also don't have to try to act like you're going to purchase something to get samples ;)

      @robophobic3716 Před 4 lety

      Gents Scents I think you leave the needle off and open the hole up on the syringe to fit over the tip. Then draw back on syringe and pump. Full of the syringe. Twist on the needle then fill the decanter. Works perfect. I’ve also used those caps that go over the top that have a straw protruding out to fill the bottle. Basically a atomizer with a long straw. Those work great if they fit the tip of the bottle.

    @caligulaguy Před 6 lety

    Hey. I got a quick question for yuh. I recently ordered a 5 ml decant and it came in a glass bottle. The first spray had absolutely no smell what so ever it was as if I had sprayed my wrist with water I was worried so prayed it on my other wrist and the second spray smelled perfectly the way it was supposed to (Fragrance was la nuit de lhomme btw) the scent lasted a good amount of hours and I got some compliments throughout so I don't believe it was fake or watered down ect. The same thing happened to me with a decant of spice bomb I had purchased a while back. I was just curious if you know what the reason for the first 1 or 2 sprays having no scent and then coming out perfectly fine afterwards was. Thanks P.S sorry this was so long haha

    • @GentsScents
      @GentsScents  Před 6 lety +1

      The decants usually aren't primed so that first spray may come out weaker and it may also have a bit of air in it. I wouldn't worry too much, you should be good.
