Scento sells 2 ml, 5 ml and 8 ml vials plus a 30 ml bottle decant on most perfumes, so the step from a first try to a longer wear is covered in one shop.
Authenticity and sourcing
Parfümproben Online says on its FAQ that it sells only original luxury perfumes, filled directly from the original bottle, with no additives and no dilution. Scento pours each decant by hand from an original bottle sourced through authorised European retailers.

Which one suits you?
If you want a very small 1 ml taste of many perfumes from a German shop, Parfümproben Online fits that. If you want one shop for 2 ml tests, 5 ml and 8 ml wears and a 30 ml bottle decant on most perfumes, Scento covers that range.
