Absolutely. Every fragrance at FTB Vida is 100% authentic. We source factory-sealed bottlesdirectly from trusted retailers. Our travel-size sprays (decants) are from those same bottles—so you can explore before committing to a full size.

A decant is a smaller, travel-friendly spray vial filled from a full-size, authentic fragrance bottle. It’s not the original manufacturer’s packaging and isn’t factory sealed—but at FTB Vida, we seal our decant bottles to prevent leaks and ensure they’re untouched. Decants are perfect for sampling a scent or taking your favorite fragrance on the go.

Yes! In addition to decants, we also offer factory-sealed, brand-new bottles for those who already know their signature scent.

We use sterile glass 5ml & 10ml atomizers and carefully label each one. All atomizers are sanitized before use to ensure safety and quality.

All fragrance orders are shipped via USPS Ground Advantage, in compliance with regulations concerning liquids and alcohol-based products.

For hygiene and safety reasons, we do not accept returns or exchanges on any fragrance purchases (including both decants and sealed bottles).

Fragrance notes describe how a perfume unfolds over time. Traditionally, scents are structured in a pyramid of top, middle, and base notes, though many modern fragrances may not follow this format strictly
• Top Notes: These are the initial scents you smell right after application. They’re light, quick to evaporate, and often citrusy. Also known as head notes, they typically last around 5 minutes.
• Middle notes: Emerging as the top notes fade, these form the heart of the fragrance. Common middle notes include floral scents like lavender and rose, lasting from 10 to 60 minutes.
• Base notes: These develop last and linger the longest, providing depth and richness. Base notes in a fragrance typically last several hours, and in some cases, they can linger for up to 24 hours or more, depending on the concentration of the perfume and the specific ingredients used

Fragrances are categorized by the percentage of aromatic compounds they contain, which affects both their intensity and longevity. Here's a breakdown of the most common types:
• Perfume Extract (Extrait de Parfum / Parfum / Pure Perfume):
Contains 15–40% aromatic compounds. This is the most concentrated and long-lasting form, often requiring only a small amount for all-day wear.
• Esprit de Parfum (EsdP):
Contains 15–30% aromatic compounds. A rare concentration that sits between Eau de Parfum and Perfume Extract, offering richness with slightly more volatility.
• Eau de Parfum (EdP) / Parfum de Toilette (PdT):
Contains 10–20% aromatic compounds. These are popular for their balance of longevity and projection, typically lasting 6–8 hours or more.
• Eau de Toilette (EdT):
Contains 5–15% aromatic compounds. Lighter than EdP, these are great for daytime wear and usually last 4–6 hours.
• Eau de Cologne (EdC):
Contains 3–8% aromatic compounds. These are fresh and fleeting, often lasting 2–4 hours, and are commonly used for a quick refresh.
• Elixir / Elixir de Parfum:
Concentrations vary, but typically fall between 20–30%. These are often marketed as luxurious, intense blends with rich base notes and extended longevity.
• Body Spray / Mist:
Contains 1–3% aromatic compounds. These are the least concentrated and designed for a light, refreshing scent that lasts 1–2 hours.
