Have you ever done a "how to" video? The best way to store perfume, do's and don'ts about using them, etc. kind of a perfume 101. I would love to see that. I don't wear perfume often so they go bad or at least change. I recently picked up a rollerball of D&G Garden which I am really liking.

[@NinjaBooKitty]

I store the ones I'm not wearing in their boxes and in a closed box in a dark closet. It's the light and heat that affect the perfume. Also, when you receive a new one or retrieve one from storage, spray 5-10 times to get rid of what is in the sprayer that has gone bad. I think a lot of people think their scents went bad and they didn't. Hope that helps! 💖💖

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Chris, How many Penhaligon's Portraits perfumes do you have? I bought 2 of them from their website 3 years ago, and I bought Eau The Audacity from their website recently. Unfortunately, I purchased Clara, Arthur, and Yasmine from Jomashop. I believe them to all be fake. The real boxes are magnetized. I can pick up the box from the top with the bottle in it and it stays together. When I try that with the fake ones, it just pulls the top off of the base. Also, when I put the real boxes next to each other, I can pull one, and because of the magnet, the other will follow. If i reverse them they will repel like magnets do. Also, I have a Yasmine sample, and the juice is not the same color.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I do have several. I bought 90% of mine from Bergdorfs( when they were on sale). I just checked my boxes. None of them are magnetized. I’m quite sure Bergdorfs doesn’t sell fakes either. Perfume companies don’t stay in business long if they sell fakes and I’ve purchased hundreds, literally hundreds from Jomashop ; I never suspected one to be fake. Also my Bewitching Yasmine juice is much darker today than when I first bought it about 3 years ago. Perfumes with high concentrations of vanillin (vanilla) darken over time.

[@deannas1515]

@@ThePerfumeNest If you have the bottle in the box and you lift it by the very top of the box, does it lift the base and the bottle? Abi said hers were magnet too, but that she didn't keep them. The ones from Jomashop have taller bases when the tops are off. I was going to look up the code on CheckFresh, and noticed that the lettering on Yasmine was barely legible. Maybe they changed the boxes, IDK Thanks for responding!

[@michellerosen6487]

Yes, I like originals also, but I am NOT spending $300 and up for a perfume, not anymore. I think it’s almost insulting, what they charge for perfumes nowadays. I used to love Bal D’Afrique but it was almost $300.00 and didn’t last for more than 15 minutes. Bought Vibrant which is a Middle Eastern dupe, didn’t like the opening at first, let it macerate for a few months, it’s literally a clone and lasts at least 4-6 hours. So, yes it’s nice to be perfume snob….but

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi Michelle! You and I are in agreement. 300$ is A LOT to spend on a perfume. If I look at my entire collection, which is on the large size, I would say my bottles falling in that price range would be WAY less than 1%. So we def have that in common. That being said, I’ve always said my channel is certainly not for everyone. So for those who are just looking for ME clones of popular designer and niche fragrances( I get that request ALL the time) my channel will be a big disappointment. But the good news is there are literally thousands of channels out there that only show those. So there is something for everyone on this lovely platform. 😉❤️
