The most common question we get. A 5ml decant gives you approximately 50 sprays. Here's exactly how long that lasts depending on your usage.
The Math
A standard spray atomizer dispenses roughly 0.1ml per spray. A 5ml decant therefore contains approximately 50 sprays. Some atomizers spray slightly more or less, so the actual count ranges from 45-55 sprays.
How Long Will 50 Sprays Last?
Light use (1-2 sprays, a few times per week): 2-3 months. Perfect for occasion-specific fragrances you don't wear daily.
Daily use (2 sprays per day): About 3-4 weeks. Enough time to thoroughly evaluate whether you want a full bottle.
Heavy use (3-4 sprays per day): About 2 weeks. You'll know very quickly if this fragrance is for you.
Is 5ml Enough?
For testing purposes, absolutely. Three weeks of daily wear gives you enough data to experience the fragrance in different weather, moods, and settings. You'll know how it performs on your skin, how long it lasts, and whether you still enjoy it after the novelty wears off. That's more information than any department store test can provide.
