Starting a Side Biz - Thoughts? 🙌🏻

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m considering starting a small perfume decant side hustle and would really appreciate your honest input:

1. Market

Is starting a decant business still worth it today?
Too saturated, or still room for new sellers?

2. Buyer Concerns

What worries you most when buying decants?
(Authenticity, storage, hygiene, pricing, etc.)
What makes you trust or avoid a seller?

3. Starter Scents

What are your top 5–10 fragrances you’d suggest I start with?
(Designer or niche welcome!)

4. Packaging

Preferred packaging?
Any issues you’ve experienced (leaks, atomizers, labeling)?

5. Platform

Where do you prefer buying?
Shopee
TikTok Shop
Personal site / IG
Why?

P.S.
What would make you try a new seller?

Personally, I just really enjoy perfumes—one of the best compliments I get is when I smell good, and I want others to experience that too. I know full bottles can be pricey, so making scents more accessible is something I care about (this economyyyy)

Thanks so much! 🙏🩶
