Most Common Questions
Are your fragrances authentic?
Yes. Every decant is taken from a genuine designer bottle. We never sell clones, dupes, or “inspired by” scents, and every batch is tracked back to its source bottle.
What’s the difference between a Mini and a Travel size?
A Mini holds 5 ml and a Travel holds 10 ml. Minis are perfect for trying a scent for a week or two; Travels are for the fragrances you already love. As a rough guide, a Mini gives you around 50–75 sprays and a Travel around 100–150.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders are processed within about one business day. Standard shipping via USPS then takes 3–8 business days, and Express takes 2–3 business days. See Shipping & Tracking for details.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Standard shipping is free on orders of $69 or more. Below that, it’s a flat $5.99.
Can I return a fragrance I don’t like?
Because every decant is poured from an opened bottle into a new atomizer, all sales are final for hygiene reasons. If anything arrives damaged, wrong, or missing, we’ll replace it or refund you. Just email us a photo within 30 days. Not sure about a scent? Start with a 5 ml Mini.
Do you ship internationally?
Not yet. We currently ship within the United States only. To join our international waitlist, email us with your country and we’ll let you know when we expand.
Are you affiliated with the fragrance brands?
No. Love Mini Perfumes is an independent retailer. We buy genuine fragrances and decant them into smaller sizes, and we’re not affiliated with or endorsed by any brand.
How do I track my order?
We’ll email you a tracking number as soon as your order ships. You can also visit our Track Your Order page.

How long do refunds take?
Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 2 business days. Your bank may take another 5–10 business days to show it.
Authenticity & Decanting
What is a decant?
A decant is a smaller portion of fragrance transferred from an original full-size bottle into a separate container. Ours go into new glass atomizers, so you spray it just like the original.
How and where do you decant?
All decanting happens in-house in Los Angeles. Each fragrance goes into a brand-new glass atomizer, and every batch is tracked so we can trace a decant back to its source bottle.
Will it smell the same as the full bottle?
Yes. It’s the same fragrance in a smaller bottle. To keep it at its best, store it away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Loyalty & Rewards
Do you have a rewards program?
