A few wearings of Madrid, then decide
Madrid by Ballotino is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

On the skin
There is no pyramid on this page for Ballotino Madrid, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Madrid, and we note it. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Ballotino Madrid, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties Madrid to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly.
No audience is on record for Ballotino Madrid, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it.
You learn more from three wearings of Ballotino Madrid than from thirty opinions about it. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Ballotino is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Madrid the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Ballotino Madrid, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Madrid as it was when we filled it.
The brand
Ballotino is on DecantGems with 22 perfumes to try as a sample. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. In our shop Ballotino sits with the niche perfume samples. A few small vials tell you more about a house than one large bottle chosen on a guess.

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.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
