Unless I say otherwise, assume that I'll be decanting all of the Lab's "unimpable" releases, with the exception of the monthly Lunacies. I'll try to get the signup post up within a day or two of the release's announcement; if it's been more than two days since the release was announced, feel free to poke me.

Unless otherwise specified at the time of signup, these are the assumptions all of my decant circles run with:

( My basic operating policies, in no particular order )

If you're interested, I wrote up a Guide to Decanting that includes my process in detail.

When you participate in a circle, please take a few minutes once you've received your package and leave a comment here saying what your experience was like! That way, people who are considering signing up for a circle in the future can look over the comments from past circles to reassure themselves.

Feedback for the circles I ran (prototypes, Only Lovers Left Alive, and Kabuki/Gatekeeper) prior to creating this community can be found in my old feedback post in my journal.

You do not need to be a member of this community to sign up for a decant circle! (And, in fact, I'm the only community member, because I'm the only one who needs to post.) Just sign up when the signup post comes around. I take any and all signups happily. :)

This post (which will be made sticky in the community) is for linking to all the other useful posts I've made, to allow people to find information in a single place.

Basic policies: unless otherwise specified, assume these are in effect for every circle.
Feedback: for past circles. (Please leave feedback when you receive your package!)

Since there's no reason decanting has to be limited to new releases, I'd like to go back and "fill in" many of the general-catalog-but-unimpable collections. All of the collections have things I'm interested in, but obviously, I'd like to concentrate on the ones that people are most interested in!

So, a poll. Vote for every collection that has scents you'd like to try and would probably order at least one decant out of:

Poll #15730 Next targets
