"Adorable Handheld-Sized Brand Mini Perfumes Around 2,000 Yen - Perfect for Collecting!"
2021.08.05 published
I'm Interested in Mini Perfumes*
Hand-sized, around 5ml or 7ml, small and cute mini perfumes.
They are available from many brands like Dior and MIUMIU, but compared to regular-sized products, there might be surprisingly few people who own mini perfumes.
It’s true that mini bottles have the image of samples or trial products, and while they might be cheaper, when it comes to the price-to-volume ratio, they might not be very cost-effective. (There’s a sense that the larger the capacity, the better the deal...!)
However, recently there has been a buzz about an exhibition of perfume bottles created by the world-renowned glass artist "René Lalique" at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum♡
The value of small and beautiful perfume bottles is being re-evaluated*
Here are several perfume bottles by René Lalique. They are lovely.
Moreover♡
Smaller miniature-sized perfumes look cuter than full-sized ones, and the prices are not excessively high, making them easy to collect.
(They generally range from about 2,000 yen to 3,000 yen. It's tempting to start a collection♡)
They are perfect for those who “always get tired of the scent before finishing it,” and being able to spritz some fragrance from a pouch whenever needed is fantastic.
You can take them on trips or dates as is. Since perfumes can expire, it’s nice to have them in a size that can be used up.
I’m getting more and more interested in them♩
But it seems that mini perfumes are not widely available for sale as products across many brands.
Depending on the brand, they might be sold in limited quantities at stores (usually sell out quickly), or sometimes they might be novelties as purchase incentives rather than actual products.
Some people are lucky to buy them at the right time, while others often find they cannot get them.
Surprisingly, many people seem to purchase them at airport DFS (duty-free shops) as well...!
Therefore, in this article, I will introduce mini perfumes that I want, which are available for immediate purchase through Rakuten.
Mini Fragrance I Want (1) MIUMIU
Miu Miu’s mini perfume is 7.5ml. This one is called “Miu Miu L'eau Blue” and has a lily of the valley scent. The sense of MIUMIU from the bottle and the bi-color design are both cute♡
The price was around 2,680 yen on Rakuten.
There are also those who collect all the varieties*
A set of four was priced at 6,700 yen, so each one is about 1,675 yen. It seems good for thank-you gifts or similar occasions.
Mini Fragrance I Want (2) Dior
When it comes to Dior perfumes, Miss Dior is iconic. The design remains the same, but the 5ml miniature bottle is super cute♡
There are a total of four different fragrances including the classic Blooming Bouquet and Rose & Rose, so I would love to collect them to enjoy a different scent every day*
In the spring of 2021, this Miss Dior mini perfume set of four was sold for 9,240 yen, around 2,310 yen each* (It was limited quantity and seems to be out of stock now.)
It’s wonderful that you can enjoy four scents without spending ten thousand yen.
The miniature size of J'adore is fashionable too. The regular-sized J'adore has a mature, elegant image, but the smaller size indeed feels uniquely cute ♩

Mini Fragrance I Want (3) Chloé
Here is a four-piece set of Chloé miniatures. The Love Story on both ends is 7.5ml, and in the middle, Chloé L'eau is 5ml size.
The outer box is so cute that you wouldn't want to throw it away♡ It was selling for a set price of 6,160 yen on Rakuten.
Mini Fragrance I Want (4) GUCCI
Gucci's famous perfume, Bloom, has a floral scent. This miniature size is 5ml, priced at 2,210 yen.
Even though it’s small, this pink packaging has an indescribable cuteness♡
Mini Fragrance I Want (5) Burberry
Burberry's mini perfume is stylish with a ribbon tied around it♡ It's 5ml in size.
It can be bought for 1,300 yen on Rakuten, so that's quite affordable.
