Curious about these parallel imports ? Any difference to "original" ?
 
Does anyone have Narciso Rodriguez For Him Eau de Toilette, the old original grey one, that they would be keen to sell or swop?
 
Hi guys, apologies if this isn't allowed.
Azzaro wanted 100ml, half a bottle left, selling for R250 pm me.

Decants aren’t really worth it unless you bought a fair bit at a time considering a R100 base delivery cost. It would be awesome though.

Maybe we should do group buys and split a 100ml bottle 4 or 5 ways or even 10 ways. The ideal is a 10ml decant if you want to properly try something before you buy a full bottle.

I've used 10ml decants, and used them quite long. In fact, many times I've bought 30ml bottles, because you hardly ever use them up if you have a big collection. Plus it's cheaper.

I would sell decants at bottle price / bottle size. Purely to fund further bottle purchases :)

I’ve seen pretty nice 10ml glass spray bottles for around R10 per unit at those mega plastics shops.

But how do you easily decant from a bottle though, I’ve used those travel mini spray things that you just need to pop the atomiser off the main bottle and you can pump it in spray by spray but doing that for say 80ml of fragrance would be a real pita.

You use pliers to pull the spray nozzle and pipe off the top of the perfume bottle. They are usually pressure squeezed onto the glass neck. Then get a syringe at Dischem and suck out the ml you want.

Just spray with the atomiser into the decant bottle

Pliers is the only way but you destroy the mechanism of the original bottle though which means no one can enjoy the original, everything needs to be decanted after that point.

Sure, but that is the price to pay for decanting - if you have enough buyers to use up the bottle, it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't like the idea of spraying dozens of times anyway - Surely adding air to the perfume spray will cause the juice to go bad?

That's why you don't remove the atomiser.
 
You can use a needle and syringe, like they use for diabetes injections, down the tube. You end up pushing the pump down and holding it, which “unlocks” the airlock, and can the extract the juice with the syringe

That's a good point regarding oxidisation but via the atomiser is the way some people do it.

Do you decant 90ml?

It normally goes quick in 10ml decant bottles.

Yea that's my point :cautious: , doing 90ml via the atomiser will be a huge pita

How long are these needles, a 100ml bottle can often be a good 10cm tall excluding the atomiser tube?
