Of course fragrances should come in smaller bottles. I always carry at least 3 different scents with me and those small and travel sizes are perfect. Also, if you are constantly buying perfume (and I suspect that the rest of us fanatics do!) you don't want big bottles taking up too much space on your dresser, you want to make room for your new purchase!

They stopped carrying some of the more interesting niche lines and choices, but they're still a great place to test out some of the less common houses' stuff. Try the Frank LA, when you go, you will not regret it. Best new 'fumey find for me there lately. (They also stopped carrying the Lola cosmetic line, which kills me. Lots of NARS, and NARS is fine, but I like Lola better, heh.) Flora, oh yeah, you have to make a trip down there when you have a chance (traffic and parking willing, that is.)

Must go there soon! I had no idea anyone in our neck of the woods was carrying the lines they have. Katie, why did I not know about Blush!? Must go there soon!

The only drawback I've experienced in ordering from indie perfumers that supply small bottles is that if I wanted a larger bottle, it's not available.

However, the boutique I was at had a number of offerings. (Blush Beauty Bar in Portland.) They were thirty bucks for what I'm guessing is a half ounce? Kind of a rip-off, but it was enough for me to finally give into buying Zenzero, since I need only one spray of it to last me for most of a day, since it sticks to me like the stuff has superglue in it. Anyhow, I'm sure I'm not the only person who's found their smaller bottles very attractive :) I recently found mini bottles of the i Profumi di Firenzes – but I have NO idea where to find these smaller sizes online, sadly.

I'd like to add Le Labo - love the 15ml size. Also I like that Bond No. 9 sells by the oz, which is much more economical than the 7ml sprayer. I wish the 15ml Hermessence bottles were sold seperately, as I really like 2 of them. Great point Ina. I’d like to add Le Labo – love the 15ml size.

It is ridiculous. They definitely should make things available in smaller sizes, even if they just went down to an ounce! It is ridiculous.

There's no way I'd buy all of the exclusifs in 200 ml bottles. Maybe we can do a bloggers' campaign or something, titled "the best things should come in the smallest bottles".
