What Are Cologne Decants?
We’re here to help you discover why cologne decants are the ultimate hack for fragrance enthusiasts and Kiwi men looking to boost their scent game.
For the modern Kiwi bloke, a great cologne is more than just a fragrance—it’s a statement, a mood booster, and sometimes, even a secret weapon. But finding your perfect signature scent or building a versatile fragrance wardrobe can be a daunting (and expensive!) task.
That’s where cologne decants step in, offering a smart, stylish solution for exploring the world of scents.

Cologne decants are essentially samples of fragrance taken from the original bottle and repackaged into portable vials.
Unlike tiny one-time samples, decants often come in a range of sizes. Our Perfumes Kiwi decants come in premium glass bottles with high-performing atomisers. Our sizes offer customers between 4 and 26 wears depending on how many sprays are applied.
This makes it perfect for enthusiasts and collectors wanting to try expensive luxury and niche perfumes before fully committing, they let you enjoy luxury colognes without the price tag of a full bottle. Think of it as test driving.
