I understand that you don’t want a large collection but, trust me, perfumes last for decades if stored correctly (which I believe you do). The juice will gradually oxidise and change colour and, with that, the notes may actually strengthen but it doesn’t mean it’s “going off”. I have several perfumes that are 8-10 years old and smell just as good today as they did the day I opened them.
@lobi51043 жыл бұрын
This is exactly why I never feel bad about my large collection. I know it will last because they are kept away from light.
@kathywitter60763 жыл бұрын
@Ines Witherspoon - Well said. I have several vintage perfumes from the 80's that haven't oxidised or gone off.
@alicemoraldenis42863 жыл бұрын
Yes! Fragrances stored properly out of direct light and in consistently cool temperature will not go bad. In fact, the darker the color of the perfume juice, the higher the concentration of perfume oil contained in the fragrance. Eau De Parfums have the higher concentration of perfume oil (concentrate) v Eau De Toilette which has more alcohol making it not as long lasting on the skin However, there are some fragrances that the Eau De Toilette’s fragrance is much more popular than the Eau De Parfum versión but it’s more preference or perhaps less concentrated at perfume oil gives it a more appealing & attractive scent.

Minimalism isn't just about the "going off" aspect. It's also about knowing and using what you own. Sometimes also about how much space things (you don't use regularly) take up.

I say declutter as much as you want to. I hate that people always make such a big deal about it!! I totally understand you want to wear the ones you really want to, but when you have so many you almost feel guilty for only wearing those when you have so many. At least that’s how I feel sometimes!!! Def gonna pick up a miss Dior before they are all gone. I would say my top top fragrances at this time are Italica, m micaleff mon parfum cristal, lira, Si fiori, freckled and beautiful, m micaleff ananda dolce, and baccarat 540.

Miss Dior has been reformulated more times than Dior will care to admit, the reformulations used to be covert but these days Dior is open about it. You can actually purchase the original Miss Dior from the 1940s, but it's never on display at the Dior counter so most people don't even know there is an "original" version. I've heard the formula has been cheapened over the decades but the notes have not changed. FYI: The original formulation is a very old school style of chypre, it does not resemble the modern Miss Dior at all. Not fruity or sweet.

You really like your patchouli fragrances! Miss Dior, mon Guerlain, Chanel Chance, flower bomb the patchouli is very prominent in those. That is the reason I did not purchase Miss Dior. All I could smell was patchouli which I can get from my mon Guerlain intense. And I already have Coco Mad and I know if I have miss Dior and coco mad I will definitely go for Coco Mad I can pick up more notes than just patchouli. I will like to see how you reach 20-25 perfumes! It will be hard! Your 30-40 goals was more doable I think but yes if you want to stay to that number new perfumes have to knock other perfumes out! It’s going to be the battle of perfumes 😆

Mon guerlain is a staple for me. It feels like a fool proof “put together” perfume. Once it runs out I might try the Bloom of Rose version because I have seen a couple of videos saying that it is a lifer for some influencers. A surprise lifer for me recently is Chloe Nomade Absolu. It feels very niche but versatile. Smells very grown up but the drydown gets compliments to no end!
