Issey Miyake decants & perfume samples — your questions answered

Are Issey Miyake decants and perfume samples authentic?

Yes. Each Scento 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.

How many sprays are in a Issey Miyake sample?

As a rough guide, a perfume atomizer gives about 10–15 sprays per millilitre, so a 2ml Issey Miyake 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, 30ml.

Do I pay customs or VAT on Issey Miyake samples in the EU?

No extra customs for EU orders. Scento ships Issey Miyake 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.

Should I buy a Issey Miyake decant or a full bottle?

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 Issey Miyake for days before committing to full-bottle price. For sealed presentation or gifting, an official boutique or authorised retailer is the better route.

Which Issey Miyake fragrance should I try first?

Nuit d’Issey Parfum and L'Eau d'Issey Solar Violet are the Issey Miyake fragrances our members reach for most, so they are the easiest place to start. If you want to explore further, Nuit d’Issey Parfum, L'Eau d'Issey Solar Violet, Le Sel d'Issey make a strong first set in affordable decant sizes.
