Ol' Factory 10 ml perfume pens

Buying perfume online has one obvious problem. You can’t smell it. You can read the notes and watch reviews, but until it’s on your skin, you’re guessing.

That’s why we make every fragrance in a 10 ml pen as well as a full 50 ml bottle. It’s the easiest way to try a designer-inspired scent properly, and many customers end up keeping a few in rotation.

Why start with a pen

You get to know the scent before committing

A perfume can smell completely different after a week of wearing it than it did in the first ten minutes. A pen gives you enough for a couple of weeks of daily wear, which is how you really find out whether a scent suits you.

It costs a fraction of a full bottle

If you’re curious about three or four scents, trying them as pens costs far less than guessing on a full bottle and hoping for the best.

It fits in your pocket

Pens slip into a pocket, a handbag or a car’s glovebox. They’re made for long days in Pakistani heat, when you want a quick top-up before a meeting or dinner. Just don’t leave them in a parked car, since the heat damages perfume quickly.

How to get the most out of a pen

  • Wear one scent at a time for a few days, so you’re judging it fairly.
  • Notice the whole day, not just the first spray. How does it smell after lunch? In the evening?
  • Ask the people around you. Compliments are a good sign that a scent works on your skin.
  • Store it upright, away from sunlight and heat.

Popular pens to start with

For men, our most-requested pens are Aventus, No. 04, Imagination and Born In Roma. For women, start with Bombshell, Coco Mademoiselle or Vanilla | 28. If you like both fresh and warm scents, try one of each and see which you reach for more often.

From pen to signature scent

Many customers build their collection this way. They buy three or four pens, wear them for a month, and then buy the full bottle of the one they kept reaching for. It’s a simple, low-risk way to find a signature scent.
