I don’t want perfume bottles above 50ml

  • #hot_take

As the title says I actually really dislike huge bottles. I never ever make it through a 100ml bottle before I grow out of the scent. I often end up decluttering bottles above 50ml simply because the size is too overwhelming. I genuinely prefer 30mL and 50ml bottles.

    I think a lot of people feel that way, but I’m the opposite. I wish all of mine were 100ml so I know I can keep returning to it over time with less worry about finishing it.

      That’s fair! If I continued to like the same thing year after year I’d feel differently

      Same ! I always buy 100 ml if it’s an option.

    I really wish more brands made 30mL options because it feels like the perfect middle ground between a 10mL travel spray and a 50mL FB. Once I love a scent though, I love seeing the 100mL bottles on my shelf!

    1. Becs@freeday

      Totally fair! I also wish 30mL was an option

    I so agree. I also love a lot of variety, also. I actually prefer decant sites for exactly this reason. I’m happy to pay more per mL for small bottles than pay for big bottles that I’ll never finish/use up.

      I want to like decants more but my stupid brain what’s the retail bottle. I mean I’ll get a million samples to try don’t get me wrong

      Replying to @freeday

      I get that too- I think that’s due, in part, to the reality of social media’s influence on us as collectors. It’s a common refrain- you’re definitely not alone!

    I've started getting more decants to try but I do wish there were more 30 mL and 50 mL options. So far I have 6 bottles that Im glad I have 100 or 200 mL offerings because I want them to last forever but the rest I'm pretty ambivalent.
