maybe she has found out that narcisism isn't necessarily a good thing and feels miffed that you have bought her 50ml of "i love myself!"

No, bit weird. Especially as you actually got her the bigger one!

I'd take it back, pour 20ml's away then she has her 30ml bottle

or i could ask the manufacturere for some tiny samples...and give her 1 a year...and tell her to make it last!!!!
