My 200+ Bottle Perfume Collection | How I Store My Fragrances

[@Olfactofiles]

How do you store your fragrances? How many do you have? Thanks for watching! P.S. I use the Billy bookcase and Oxberg doors from Ikea and the expand-a-shelf tiered organizers are from The Container Store.

[@carlsanders6929]

Where did you get that cabinet? I have over 200 and just store them in my closet lol!

[@Olfactofiles]

@@carlsanders6929 It's the billy bookcase + oxberg doors from ikea.

[@missfelly340]

I store mine in a big chest of drawers from IKEA. The drawers are in my cupboard (large enough to be a small room haha) so it’s always nice and dark there. I do a weekly rotation which I display.

[@Olfactofiles]

@@missfelly340 That's a great idea! Awesome that you have a big space like that where you can keep them in the dark!

Im probably down to about 80 bottles or so i was at around 200 but ive really been trying to get down to my very favorites. I keep mine in drawers which is no fun but where i used to keep them got too much light. I had to go back through the video to see how many i have that u have and only 13!

[@Olfactofiles]

That's amazing! It would be so hard to get mine down to that number. My office where this cabinet is gets basically no sunlight so it works for my fragrances but isn't great for an office. Lol! So crazy that we only have 13 in common!

Thank you, Jolee! It wasn't too bad to film. Lol! Terra Mia is similar to fragrances like Intense Cafe, Roses Vanille, Gentle Fluidity Gold, and Delox. I like Terra Mia and Gentle Fluidity Gold the most of all those and have both, but if you have any of the others it might be redundant as they are similar.
