Perfume Decants, Discovery & DAINA
Hi! I’m Valerie, the founder of Aroma Sample and the person behind DAINA.
Aroma Sample began with a very simple idea: I loved discovering new perfumes, but buying a full bottle every time was expensive, impractical, and honestly took some of the fun out of exploring fragrance.
That’s how I fell in love with perfume decants.
Years later, I still can’t imagine my fragrance life without them. I love being able to experience a perfume properly, wear it for days or weeks, come back to it, travel with it, and discover something unexpected without committing to a full bottle. Decants are not just how this shop started. They are still a huge part of what I personally love about fragrance.
So Aroma Sample is continuing to be what it has always been at its heart: a place to discover beautiful perfumes in smaller, approachable sizes.
Alongside the decants, I’m also creating something of my own.
After years of working with fragrance, learning what people love, and packing thousands of scent-filled orders, I started DAINA, my independent fragrance and body ritual brand. DAINA perfume oils will live here alongside the perfume decants, not instead of them.
To me, the two belong together. One side is about discovering the incredible world of perfumery that already exists. The other is about creating scents of my own and sharing them with you.
Every order is prepared by me in Buda, Texas, with care and attention to detail. Beautiful packaging, thoughtful service, and promptly resolving any issue remain some of the most important parts of running my small business.
Whether you’re here to finally try the perfume that has been sitting on your wish list, build a little fragrance wardrobe of decants, or discover one of my DAINA perfume oils, I’m so happy you’re here.
Thank you for supporting Aroma Sample throughout the years and for allowing this little fragrance shop to keep evolving without losing what made me fall in love with it in the first place.
With love,
Valerie
Founder of Aroma Sample & DAINA
