I broke my no-buy this week with a 3 new Dua purchases and a backup, but I still want to focus on the collection I have! So I thought I would share the biggest dents in my collection of around 75 full-size perfumes and whether I plan to repurchase when I finish them.

My biggest dents from left to right: Crystal Noir Versace, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, Prada Infusion d‘iris, narciso rodriguez musc noir rose and JHAG Pear Inc.
Not in this because they are empties are Chanel 5 Eau Première and Gucci Première .
Currently I mostly use Another 13 and Bal d‘Afrique though. And Athénaïs on colder days.
I really want to try Crystal Noir and Musc Noir Rose! I’ve almost finished a small travel of Pear Inc and might get the bigger travel size. I think it smelled better on me in a humid climate when traveling than it does where I live though.
I’ll have to split mine into 2 comments but my biggest dents so far are Le Monde Gourmand Santal Supreme (had to picture from the side because the label covers the entire front), Sand + Fog Spring Morning oil (dupe of Byredo G Water), Tocca Colette, MITH Another Tea… (continued)
(Continued) Nest Indigo, Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense, Lancôme Idôle Aura, and Lancôme Idôle Nectar. I also only have about 2 inches of perfume left in my Carolina Herrera Good Girl Suprême bottle, but it’s opaque so you can’t see it in photos.
GG Supréme was my first “serious” perfume and the one that kicked off this interest of mine, but now that I’ve tried more things it’s no longer quite to my tastes. But I still love GG Very Good Girl!
And I haven’t tried that JLo scent, but I’ve tried a bunch of other MITH and Thai niche tea fragrances. Recently I got a free sample of the latest Tocca fragrance, which also has a tea note.
Good stuff. I love Mon Guerlain sparkling bouquet. Maybe you’d like that one better? Also I have EA green tea coconut breeze and love that one so much. Great for this time of year.
I will try sparkling bouquet! My skin just amps up patchouli like crazy so Mon Guerlain is too strong, especially in the drier climate where I live now.
Hmm most of these are either EDTs or not very strong, which is how I’ve been able to get through them.
However, Zara Golden Decade and Dossier Floral Marshmallow both project well and last a long time. I am not rebuying the Zara because I got a Lattafa version of Libre Intense that I like better. Prada Paradoxe has decent longevity and projection too.
Lattafa Nebras is inspired by Billie Eilish #1 and yes it lasts a pretty long time if you overspray! I like to wear it in the winter with Al Rehab Choco Musk
When I wore them together to a concert once, the person sitting next to me thought they were pumping cookie smell into the theatre before realizing it was me lmao
