A decant is a small portion of perfume — typically 2 ml or 3 ml — transferred from an authentic full-size bottle into a glass vial with a sprayer. It lets you live with a fragrance for several wears before committing to a full bottle. LaScentLibrary decants are filled by hand from bottles the owner has personally purchased.

Are these perfumes authentic?

Yes. Every decant is filled from a full-size bottle that the owner has purchased from authorised retailers (boutiques in Cyprus, brand websites, niche-perfume specialty stores). We don't resell concentrates or blends — only the original juice from the original bottle.

We hand-deliver in Paphos, Cyprus, and ship across the rest of Cyprus by courier (typically 1–2 days). For shipments outside Cyprus, please contact us on Telegram @energizer1977 to arrange.

Bank transfer before shipping. After you place an order on the site or via Elena (the AI sommelière), we confirm the order and send payment details on Telegram. Once we see the transfer, we ship.

Can I get help choosing a fragrance?

Yes — the site has Elena, a multilingual perfume sommelière (Russian, English, Greek) who can suggest decants based on what you already love or the mood you're going for. You can also browse by note, by accord family, or by brand.

Five vanillas worth knowing

Vanilla knows how to be different: not only gourmand, but also airy, woody, milky, almost transparent.

Good vanilla doesn’t shout sweetness — it settles onto the skin as warmth, powder, light, and sometimes even a dry bitterness. In perfumery, vanilla is often mistakenly reduced to dessert, though its voice is far broader. It can sound like warm milk, like a delicate caramel veil, like creamy woods, or like a soft amber glow on the skin. **By Kilian — Love, Don't Be Shy Eau Fraîche** Here, the vanilla is not dense and syrupy, but illuminated by white flowers and the light sweetness of marshmallow. Eau Fraîche makes this signature brighter: the fragrance remains tender, almost silky, with the feeling of warm skin and a transparent floral cloud. **Burberry — Goddess** One of the most straightforward yet refined vanillas of recent years. It contains lavender, which brings clarity and a slightly dry contrast, so the sweetness doesn’t blur but gathers into a clear, calm silhouette — soft, modern, and very wearable. **Givenchy — Dahlia Divin** Here, the vanilla glows golden, surrounded by white flowers and a warm woody base. This is not gourmand, but rather a smooth, sunny oriental-floral fragrance: rich, polished, with a velvety texture and a honeyed radiance. **Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 — Dama Bianca** A very delicate, almost powdery vanilla, wrapped in kumquat, violet, and soft musk. Dama Bianca has a beautiful feeling of pale fabric on the skin: the fragrance wears quietly, creamy and slightly cool, without sticky sweetness. **Liquides Imaginaires — Blanche Bête** Here, vanilla meets milky, musky, and white-floral nuances, creating an almost skin-like, creamy impression. The fragrance is dense, but not heavy: it has whiteness, softness, and a strange, mesmerizing tenderness, like warm steam rising from milk. If you want to understand what vanilla can be like on your skin, simply let these five fragrances unfold without haste.
