FAQs
Are the fragrances authentic?
Yes. Every fragrance is 100% authentic, sourced from original bottles.
We never use clones, inspired versions, or diluted fragrances.
All scents are carefully decanted from genuine retail bottles and handled with care.
How big are the atomisers?
Each fragrance comes in a 5ml spray atomiser — enough to wear each scent properly over multiple days.
Is this a subscription?
Yes. Drydown Discovery is a monthly subscription, but there’s no long-term commitment. You can cancel at any time.
When do drops open?
We open access in limited monthly cohorts. If a release is full, you can join the waiting list to be notified when the next drop opens.
Can I skip a month?
Yes. You can pause or cancel your subscription from your account before the next billing cycle.
Will the fragrance smell exactly like the original bottle?
Yes. Because the fragrances are authentic and undiluted, what you receive is the same scent profile you’d experience from the original bottle.
As with all fragrance, skin chemistry and environment will influence how a scent wears — which is exactly why Drydown Discovery exists.
How are the fragrances decanted?
All fragrances are decanted by hand in small batches.
We use dedicated equipment for each fragrance to ensure accuracy and avoid cross-contamination. Each atomiser is filled, sealed, and checked before dispatch.
Is the decanting process hygienic?
Yes. Hygiene is taken seriously throughout the process.
- All atomisers are brand new
- Equipment is cleaned between uses
- Fragrances are never reused, re-filled, or mixed
Each scent is decanted cleanly and handled in a controlled environment.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship within the UK.
Why don’t you include blotter strips or tester cards?
Because fragrance is meant to be worn.
Paper strips don’t reflect how a scent develops on skin, over time, or in real-world conditions. Drydown Discovery is designed around wearing fragrance properly — not judging it in seconds.
