Good morning! ☀️ I hope everyone is having an amazing start to their day! :) 💗 I want to get a couple of things out of the way here so I don't have to explain myself throughout the comments section later. 1. Getting rid of a perfume doesn't mean it's not great, it just means that I don't wear or can't wear it for some reason, or I have another I prefer. 2. I am a human, not a robot. I am discovering and learning what my fragrance tastes are just as many of you are. 3. I was reluctant to share this video, I filmed it almost 3 weeks ago and it's been sitting unlisted, because there are always a handful of people who take these de-clutter videos personally and I do not enjoy the negativity that these people share. But - I also want to always be transparent and honest with you all, and most people requested to see the video. So, I chose to post it. I will always be totally honest with you. I've also learned to become quite quick at recognizing when something no longer works in my life, and letting it go without guilt. 4. I have had HUNDREDS of perfumes pass through my doors in the last year. Such is the nature of having a KZbin channel, such is the nature of blind buying during a pandemic. If I kept all of them, I would be drowning in scents. My goal with everything in life is to always be curating, and to surround myself with only absolute favorite things. As new scents come, some old will go. 5. To those who are my INCREDIBLE friends and viewers and the wonderful community I've found through fragrance, thank you so much for your love and our fun convos! I do this because it's a passion - I do this because I love sharing with you - I do this because I also enjoy watching your journeys through fragrance and home. Here we support and share with one another our fragrance journeys. This is a "good-vibes only" zone. 😊

Hello guys. I hope it's not too early for a "spring" declutter. I wasn't planning on posting this until March, but you asked for it!!! This year for me is all about culling down my perfume collection to keep only the ones I WILL WEAR & ENJOY. If not, they have to go. If I kept every beautiful fragrance I’d have hundreds of perfumes and that is not my goal. Please keep in mind - just because I am letting one go doesn't mean it's not an incredible fragrance. I will always be brutally honest with you guys about where I'm at and how I'm feeling, and I've also trained myself very well not to hold onto things once I realize they aren't a keeper. Also, I know what you're thinking - "If you let go of THESE, what on earth did you KEEP?!" Not to worry!! I have an updated perfume collection video coming your way soon!!! With that out of the way - enjoy! :)

There is no reason to hold onto something we just dont love, love, love. I am a mature woman and much can be said about the value of a clean, organized, uncluttered home. That is the home a quality man most wants to be in. It's all part of creating a well feathered nest and as much as a man will say, " I can sleep anywhere". , that is not true. The minute women turn them onto a sweet smelling home, warm with the smell of good food, and clean good quality sheets, they can not walk away from that. However at this point, I would never live with a man outside of marriage and give him all those blessings when he has not committed to me. Having said that, less is more, unless we are talking about money. In that case, more is more. I sont need anything, but I do enjoy this channel as she reminds me of myself with her commitment to order and her reasons for it. She knows herself

Hi Ilythia! Thank you for doing this perfume declutter video! I did some perfume decluttering last week and it feels so good! Like you said, it doesn’t mean I dislike the fragrances that I decluttered, but I’m not a collector and therefore I don’t feel the need to hang on to the ones that I don’t use. If it sits on my shelf for years collecting dust then why keep it? I don’t mind having samples and small decants of fragrances that I can sniff for reference and enjoyment, but I don’t want to have full size bottles unless I actually reach for them often. I’ve been interested in fragrances for over 20 years and had accumulated over 200 bottles, so now that I have decluttered over 100 bottles it feels so good! My goal is to get down to 10-20 full size bottles. Like you, some of the ones I decluttered shocked me, but I probably shouldn’t have purchased them in the first place, so it doesn’t bother me to get rid of them. Thank you again for making this video 💕 Here’s to quality over quantity! 🙌

A lot of these broke my heart, but at the same time, I completely understand. I have a massive pile on my closet floor of very popular perfumes I've told myself I'm going to declutter because I just don't wear them enough. Now that pile has been there for maybe 3 months and I've only actually declutter Ed a few 🥴 but I'm trying to work up to getting a Mercari account and putting my foot down with myself, lol.

Commenting as I go, but I layer Kayali Musk with Molecule 01 and it really helps with lasting power. I only have a decant of 01 but I have a 3.4 of Musk and I also wear it to bed a TON. It’s my #1 whereas yours I think is Lovely.

Woah, this was a very refreshing video. I’m quite impressed by the perfumes you selected. In a few month’s time it would be interesting to know if you miss or not any of these! 🥰

I don't think I will, just because I have been thinking about these ones for a while and like the poudree, I never reach for it. Just wait till you see the ones I have left! :)

I have found I can really love a fragrance but until I live with it for awhile and experience it, I don’t know if it’s for me or not. I can really love a perfume but it might not work for me. Just like fashion, I can love a style but it still might not work for me to wear it. So I get this ruthless decluttering, but I’m still impressed with your ability to let them go. ❤️🌸❤️

Definitely with you on this one! If it’s not being reached for and gathering dust, Doesn’t matter what it is, definitely letting go no matter how good, beautiful, impossible to find a fragrance is! I’m hoping to get my number down to 50-ish too, infact, whenever I want to add something to my collection, I feel the need to let go of something too so it doesn’t get out of hand.. even if the ones I have currently are all being used, I still feel the need to let go of something if I’m adding some in :)

hi, very enjoyable video! I was a bit surprised you describe coco mademoiselle and chloe nomade as fresh..I find them both rather heady and almost cold..but I guess we all pick up different notes in a perfume...I also got rid of my Zadig, which I used to wear so much..now it is almost too sweet..the NR Poudre was never a big hit for me, although I had it in my collection...your video certainly helps to motivate people like me, who much prefer to wear the perfumes they own..I have several I like to smell in the bottle, but I dont feel like wearing. take good care

It depends on the fragrance and how it’s stored. I’ve heard of fragrances lasting many many years if stored correctly:)

If there is something I love but can’t justify keeping a full bottle I just make/buy a decant. Then my collection is not as costly and huge- but I can also reach for it when/if the mood strikes. That’s what I did with Montale chocolate greedy and roses musk- I bought decants of both but kept a bottle of roses vanille :)

@thesimplechiclife3 жыл бұрын
It was Gentle Fluidity Gold from MFK - by the way, better to me doesn't mean it would be better smelling to anyone else :). It's totally subjective. Ylang in Gold is still gorgeous! The MFK ended up giving me headaches :( just as an FYI.
