No! Don’t get rid of a favorite discontinued fragrance that you won’t get to in 5 years. I’ve got frags which are literally decades upon decades old. Keep it in cool dry place and you’ll be fine.

I'm going to re-evaluate my back up collection and see if they are still loves. The only regret I have in decluttering was a backup so maybe you're right. Thanks for the advice. I might have to rethink it....

Hi Carmen! Don’t feel bad about letting your child put on one spray of Angel’s Share. I was in Sephora and there was this very young boy going to town spraying Coco Noir on himself and his mom was too busy looking at the Gucci perfumes to notice!

My daughter, granddaughter (who turns 11 tomorrow), and I had a "fragrance Christmas", which we enjoyed very much! My 5.5 year old grandson watched...and I did give him some Vanilla 28 lotion and some Glossier lip balm just so he would have some fun but benign things. At any rate, New Year's Eve, my daughter bathed him, and let him pick out a fragrance to wear to bed. He picked out Eternal Oud from Lataffa and was happy as a clam. I think I'd rather have him learn to smell good and care about hygiene than not, if you get my drift...

@hollyaynkidwell34458 ай бұрын
I really empathize with you about sensitivity. I'm sensitive to light, sound, crowds, pretty much everything. So I *require* that my perfumes cause me No Discomfort Whatsoever. Forget about, "wait until the dry down, it's magical!" Or "The opening is beautiful!" If it doesn't have me at first sniff and all the way through, I know I won't pick it up so I don't bother buying.
@CarmenScentrix8 ай бұрын
That's tough, sorry. Thats the level that I'm getting to also. I'm very sensitive to smells I'm general so I've gotten so good at detecting aromachemicals and they never go away to my nose even if they become more tolerable. I don't want to wear something tolerable. I also don't need to wait for the dry down if I dislike the opening. Mostly it's the opposite for me, the dry down is where is the problems come in with aromachemicals. So I don't think I will be doing anymore blind buying because of that. The notes rarely ever disclose aromachemicals but I can always detect them. In some niche brands it's unbearable! I have to seal the perfume in a bag and put it in another room until I can get it out of the house!

It truly depends on your taste!! The Only One is a nice airy coffee/sweet perfume but a hint of voilet that I don't love. I have and I enjoy it but prefer to Layer it with Angel Muse because of the voilet, I probably won't repurchase. Chloé Nomad from what I remember has a very cool girl in the 2000s vibe. A touch of a unisex vibe and some patchouli. Very earthy and packs a punch. It's one that I may sample or buy in the future if it doesn't lean too Woody when I test it.
