About

Let me introduce myself a bit better. I'm Emily Weaver, the owner of Dabs & Decants, LLC. I'm a wife and mother with a passion for perfumes. I'm an ambivert who enjoys life at home, spending time with my family and standard poodles.

Selling sample versions of my exclusive perfume collection has been my practice, but I have now chosen to extend my reach with a website. The fragrances I sell are ones that represent my personal taste. I usually purchase perfumes without testing them first, known as blind-buying, and surprisingly, it often turns out well. Through time, I have developed a sense of my preferences and aversions when it comes to fragrance notes. I only select fragrances based on personal preference, disregarding any hype or requests. This collection is a reflection of my individual taste, meant for my personal enjoyment. If I happen to buy a scent I don't love, once it's finished, I won't buy it again, no matter how popular it was with others.

You might have noticed on my website that I use art as a theme. I've loved watercolors and oils for years. I enjoy collecting others' original works as I discover them. Even though perfume is a different art form, its creators are artists in their own right.

Perfume brings me great joy, and I appreciate the subjective nature of it. While one may find a scent beautiful, another may not. I believe scent can evoke strong emotions and revive memories long forgotten. I have several in my collection that I may not wear myself, but I find myself smelling them often, nonetheless. A specific scent, Mentha Religiosa by Roos & Roos, evokes memories of my grandmother. She indulged in Merit Menthol 100s for countless years, and I associate this fragrance with her. 

Perfume can take you on an unexpected journey just like it does for me. Whenever I catch the scent of Menthol Religiosa, I'm immediately swept back to my grandmother's small home. Despite her absence, I can still recall her hugs and kisses, the fragrance of her hair and skin, and the overwhelming love she radiated.

I hope you discover scents that elevate your mood and evoke powerful emotions, too. 

From One Perfume Lover to Another,

Emily
