BORNTOSTANDOUT samples
BORNTOSTANDOUT is a Seoul house launched in April 2022 under the motto 'We rebel against the standards'. The names are deliberately provocative, Dirty Rice, Fig Porn, Drunk Lovers, but the formulas are serious: each is composed by a credited outside perfumer and the Eau de Parfum line is dosed at 30 to 40% fragrance concentration. Perfumes this dense and this gourmand deserve a skin test before a full bottle, which is what our 10 ml decants are for.

About BORNTOSTANDOUT
Which BORNTOSTANDOUT samples to start with
Dirty Rice, by Olivier Cresp, is the house in one vial: a warm basmati rice accord with milk and peony between bergamot, almond and a musky sandalwood base. Fig Porn, by Florian Gallo, sets ripe fig and pear against Turkish rose and cedarwood. Drunk Lovers pours brandy over ginger, pepper and clary sage on an amber and vanilla base. Sugar Addict is the pure gourmand: sugar, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee, then tonka, rum and labdanum.
What to expect on skin
These are not quiet perfumes. With 30 to 40% concentration in the Eau de Parfums, the milky, boozy and sugary accords stay close and warm for a long stretch, so wear each sample on its own day. Indecent Cherry turns sweet cherry and almond tart with sour cherry and strawberry; Drunk Saffron pairs plum and brandy with saffron, leather and coffee. Purple Stain and Black Crème, the Extrait Extrême line, go to 55 to 62% and rest in Onggi pottery.
White porcelain, red letters, outside perfumers
The white bottles with red lettering reinterpret Joseon-era porcelain: white for Korean tradition, red for rebellion. Every perfume credits its perfumer, among them Olivier Cresp, Hamid Merati-Kashani, Honorine Blanc and Quentin Bisch, and the brand says synthetics replace animal-derived materials. Our decants are filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us; they are not official brand samples.

BORNTOSTANDOUT samples
Frequently asked
Which BORNTOSTANDOUT sample should I try first?
Dirty Rice if you want the house's signature milky skin scent, Fig Porn if you prefer fruit and rose, Sugar Addict or Indecent Cherry if you are here for the sweets. Drunk Lovers is the one for boozy, spicy evenings.
Are BORNTOSTANDOUT perfumes unisex?
Yes, the perfumes described in this text are presented for women and men alike, from the clean Dirty Heaven to the dark Black Crème. The sweet and milky ones read as gender-free on skin; a sample lets you decide for yourself.
What is the difference between the Eau de Parfum and Extrait Extrême samples?
The Eau de Parfums carry 30 to 40% fragrance concentration. Purple Stain and Black Crème belong to the Extrait Extrême line at 55 to 62%, aged three months in Onggi pottery, so they sit denser and darker on skin: oud, leather, caramel and myrrh rather than fruit and milk.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
