The Complete Decanting Toolkit: What Every Serious Enthusiast Needs

You can decant with almost anything — but doing it well requires the right tools. Whether you're building a personal sample collection, running decant splits, or shipping to customers, having a complete toolkit makes the difference between a messy process and a repeatable one. Here's what a serious decanting setup can include.

The Bottles

Your bottle choice affects capacity, presentation, portability, and how the finished decant fits into your workflow. Glass and plastic each have useful roles depending on the use case. Browse the full Decant Supply House bottle collection.

3 ML square glass bottle with gold or black cap — a compact size for samples, swaps, and small fragrance quantities.
5 ML square glass bottle with gold or black cap — a useful middle size for extended sampling.
10 ML square glass bottle with gold or black cap — suited to larger decants and fragrances you plan to wear more regularly.
15 ML square glass bottle with gold cap — a larger decant option for frequent use.
2 ML & 3 ML plastic snap-cap spray bottles — lightweight options for small samples and portable use.

The Extraction Tools

Getting fragrance from the original bottle into a smaller container can require different methods depending on the bottle and atomizer design.

10 ML Luer Lock Syringe for Perfume Decanting — useful for measured liquid transfer when the source bottle and access method are compatible.
Luer Lock Syringe Adapters for Perfume Decanting — provide additional connection options for compatible bottle and atomizer styles. Compatibility should be checked rather than assumed.
25-Piece Perfume Decanting Extraction Kit — combines multiple extraction pieces for users working across different bottle styles.

See our Decanting Kits for bundled tool options.

The Sealing Supplies

Sealing is one part of a careful decanting and packing process. No tape or bottle should be treated as a guarantee against leaks.

White PTFE Plumbers Tape for Perfume Bottle Sealing — intended for compatible threaded bottle components where PTFE tape is appropriate.
Black, White, or Pink Electrical Tape — useful as an external securing or finishing layer where appropriate for the bottle and packing method.

Browse all tape and sealing supplies.

Package Labeling & Identification

Clear identification matters at both the bottle and package level. Decant Supply House currently carries package-focused labels and stickers rather than dedicated fragrance-name bottle labels.

Thank You Package Label – 4x6 Thermal Sticker — a package-facing thermal label for order presentation.
Thank You Package Label – Bold 4x6 Thermal Sticker — a higher-contrast package label option.
Fragile Shipping Stickers – 250 Count Roll — compact handling labels for parcels and mailers.

See the Labels collection for current options.

The Tester Supplies

Tester strips let you evaluate a fragrance away from skin and are useful for side-by-side smelling, customer sampling, and organizing a decanting session.

Perfume Tester Strips — classic straight fragrance blotters.
Flower Shaped Perfume Tester Strips — a decorative tester-strip format for sampling or presentation.

Browse Perfume Tester Strips.

Protection & Workspace

Large Latex-Free Nitrile Gloves – 100 Pack — disposable hand covering for cleaner handling during decanting and packing tasks.
Non-Slip Silicone Decanting Work Mat — creates a defined work surface and can help keep small tools and bottles from sliding around as easily.
Mini Metal Toolbox with 2 Drawers — organizes small tools, tape, and accessories in one place.

The Shipping Supplies

White Bubble Mailers – 6 x 9 in — padded outer mailers for small shipments when used with appropriate internal cushioning and packing.
Fragile Shipping Stickers — visible handling labels for parcels that need extra attention.
Thank You for Your Order Package Insert Cards — a simple way to add an order message inside the package.

Build Your Kit

You do not need every tool at once. Start with the bottle sizes, extraction method, workspace supplies, and packaging that match how you actually decant. The Decanting Essentials collection is a practical starting point, while our kits and bundles group several core supplies into one purchase.
