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.

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia

Magnolia here is not fragile: it has the warm flesh of petals, white light, and the soft shadow of patchouli.

In **Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia**, the florality begins not with transparent air, but with a dense, almost velvety touch. Dusky blackberry brings a dark berry tartness, orange a brief flash of light, and coconut softens the opening, adding a creamy roundness without any dessert-like effect. The entrance is not bright and ringing, but smooth, like fabric warmed in the sun.

At the center is magnolia, around which everything is built. It unfolds broadly, sensually, with a lemon-cream sheen and the cool dampness of a fresh cut stem. Jasmine sambac adds density and a soft, almost waxy whiteness, ylang-ylang brings a warm, slightly spicy richness, and lily of the valley lifts the composition upward, toward green transparency. Because of this, the bouquet does not sink into sweetness: it has movement, air, and inner light.

The chypre character here is neither strict nor mossy in the classical sense. It is shaped by the combination of musk, patchouli, and pale woods — dryish, clean, composed. The patchouli does not darken the composition, but merely gives it structure and a faint earthy shadow against which the white flowers seem even smoother and more alive. Musk keeps everything close to the skin, making the fragrance not loud, but lasting.

This is a 2023 fragrance created by **Daphné Bugey** and **Marie Salamagne**, and it clearly reflects a modern treatment of white florals: without heaviness, but also without watery emptiness. **Flora Gorgeous Magnolia** feels like white fabric that still carries the trace of body cream, the juice of an orange segment, and the delicate green coolness of a stem.

Pause beside it for a few minutes and let the magnolia open on the skin into its soft, luminous depth.
