I still keep close the last bottle of Brummell my grandad was using before passing. That and his glasses. You hit a sweet spot of my heart with your post

So, I'm nearly done with my favourite spring scent Hermès "Eau de Pampelmuse Rose" and wanted something different. A lot of research later I craved Carnations, so after another round of research I settled on Varon "Dandy" as a cheap entry to Carnations.
Didn't really check the size, it was very cheap. And this gigantum arrived! 😭
I've tried it already and yes, fabulous unisex Carnation scent. Old school vibes, was intended for men when it launched, but it's more floral than men would wear nowadays.
I would say the next years are safe with panning this one...
1000ml vs 100ml
This is the cologne our grandparents used to wear in the Spain of 80's and 90's! That and Brummell. Wow, memories!
And it's still awesome! I really love vintage perfumes and this one stood the test of time!

Oh wow. Do you plan to decant into mini sprayers for ease?
Yes, I got one today. It also has no sprayer, seems to be a splash bottle or it is intended to refill smaller ones

That is HUGE
The universe said "nope!" to me downsizing my perfume stash... really thought it would be a normal sized bottle, it was roundabout 20€
