A 5ml decant contains roughly 50 sprays. At 2 sprays per day, that's 25 days of wear — just under a month. Here's the detailed breakdown by usage pattern.
Daily Wear (2 sprays/day)
25 days. Nearly a full month. Enough time to experience the fragrance across different weather, moods, and settings. This is the ideal testing period — long enough to get past the novelty phase and see if you truly love it.
Rotation Wear (2 sprays, 2-3 times per week)
2-3 months. If you're rotating between multiple decants, each one lasts significantly longer. A collection of 5 decants in rotation could last 6+ months.
Special Occasion Only (2 sprays, once per week)
6 months. Date-night-only fragrances stretch decants incredibly far. A $5 decant lasting half a year is the definition of good value.
Heavy Application (4 sprays/day)
12-13 days. Two weeks of daily wear. Still enough to evaluate whether a full bottle is worth it, but you'll burn through it fast.
10ml Decant Duration
Double everything above. A 10ml decant at 2 sprays/day lasts about 50 days — nearly two months. At rotation wear, it can last 4-6 months.
