Hi Charley, I doubt much of anyone will see your comment since this article is so old. Your best bet would be to wait for the next weekend open thread (probably next Saturday) and ask your question there, or ask for advice in one of the scent of the day polls we do Mon – Fri.

Congratulations! I’m in awe. It must be wonderful to look at your collection and know you love every single bottle. I’m still too scared to go your route, but I really admire you!

My perfume reduction plan worked! I have less but better quality things to choose, hence I am able to enjoy what I have much much more!

Less is more. Lesson learned.

Have a great holiday!

I love it that you can still smell some of your giveaways after they leave home! I did a 10% or so reduction a little over a year ago, but it’s time to have at it again.

It sounds like you’ve found a good ecosystem for your old bottles. Plus, it’s nice to think of the people out there who will get to enjoy them!

When I finally hit capacity, by far the best local option is to resell perfumes at consignment shops. I know of two that accept fragrances: one is a relatively swanky shop that tends to offer minis and mainstream FBs, while the other (far less fancy) shop is where occasional treasures are found! In fact it’s the reason I’m inching towards resale, as they’re the folks who sold me three of my vintages (Moschino Couture EdP, Balmain Jolie Madame extrait, and [very oily part-bottle of] Jean d’Albret Casaque parfum).

You and me both!

I was with you till you said “backup bottles of Vol de Nuit.” Those they will have to pry from my cold dead hands.
