On Scento, Ex Nihilo samples start at €10.90 — and a 2ml decant is only about 2–4% of a 50–100ml bottle, so you can try the scent properly before committing to a full size.

| Scento authenticated decants | 2ml / 5ml / 8ml decant — from €10.90 | Ships from the EU to 27 European markets, no extra customs | Trying Ex Nihilo before a full bottle, at the lowest entry price |

Popular Ex Nihilo fragrances on Scento — start with a 2ml decant before a full bottle.
Yes. Scento states that each decant is hand-poured from an original full-sized bottle sourced through authorised European retailers — never a clone, dupe or inspired-by version. Manufacturer batch codes belong to those original bottles and are not printed on Scento decant vials.
As a rough guide, a perfume atomizer gives about 10–15 sprays per millilitre, so a 2ml Ex Nihilo sample is roughly 20–30 sprays, a 5ml about 50–75, and an 8ml about 80–120. Exact counts vary with the atomizer and how heavily you spray. Available sizes: 2ml, 5ml, 8ml.
No extra customs for EU orders. Scento ships Ex Nihilo decants from within the EU to 27 European markets, so EU buyers pay no import duties or customs charges and usually receive their order in 1–5 business days. Orders to non-EU European countries may be subject to local import VAT set by your country, not by Scento.
Buy a decant to test or rotate a scent, and a full bottle once you know you love it. A 2ml decant is only about 2–4% of a 50–100ml bottle, so it lets you wear Ex Nihilo for days before committing to full-bottle price. For sealed presentation or gifting, an official boutique or authorised retailer is the better route.
