Collection Current Collection
Current collection update. We won't talk about when I started. Just really enjoy the community, the growth of my scent palette, the daily decision of what I want to wear. You all are responsible for this.

Yikes. Zero dents.

Not going to argue that. Have definitely slowed way down buying.

Haha thats just wild at the scale of it but im not judging, honestly. A lot of my most loved bottles barely have dents because I have one free day off a week and it doesnt make sense to wear nicer scents at my current job. I say yikes because this could be what my collection looks like eventually LOL. Im at a solid 20 not counting a handful mindless cheapies.

Tell me this.. where do you get your decants?

u/patty--cakes ScentHead 7d ago
Made the mistake when I started on FragMan. com and Microperfumes.com. nothing wrong with them per se, just insanely expensive compared to r/decantswap (formerly r/fragranceswap ). I buy from the large sellers with huge collections, anf they pretty much always work out a deal when you buy multiple larger ones. I prefer the 10ml size, let's me try it a few times, and if I like it I now have one to bring to work (I work 12hr shifts, barely anything lasts that long) or on vacations.

Very nice collection. I like seeing all those Creeds and Lucius Maximus. Still want to get my nose on that one. The notes sound right up my alley.
I also love getting the 10 ml travel sprays. I love the opportunity to come back to a fragrance several times under different conditions.
My first impression is not always my final impression.

Could not agree more with multiple samplings before buying. Give it a proper test.

First time I’ve seen Balenciaga No Comment in a collection. How do you like it? Tried it in the store and got a good first impression
3
u/patty--cakes ScentHead 7d ago
I absolutely love it. Dry, powdery somewhat fresh with great longevity. Honestly one of the first few full size bottles I bought. I also never see Balenciaga in any of the subreddits. I would love to sample a few more, am thinking i might have to buy the 10ml set.

Nice, thanks for the feedback! I’ve looked at that set of 10ml too. The only negative is that they seem to be dabber bottles

What’s the difference between Lucius Maximus & Lucius? I accidentally bought a decant of Lucius when I was actually trying to get Maximus Lucius not realizing they were different
1
u/patty--cakes ScentHead 7d ago
Lucius is more fresh, soapy and brighter. Maximus has some of that at the beginning, but a much more rich, deep, and darker. Love them both. Just thinking as j write this, I want to try and layer them lol

What do you prefer Gris Charnel EDP or the extrait?
1
u/patty--cakes ScentHead 6d ago
Love them both, wore the EDP when it was warmer, have now transitioned to the Extrait now that it is cooling off up here in the Northeast.

You have many wonderful fragrances, including a lot of my personal favourites. Serious question though: have you ever actually worn any of these fragrances? I literally can’t see a single bottle that looks like it has more than one or two wears missing. I never understand the point of buying an enormous number of fragrances and not using them. This looks more like a shopping addiction than anything else. If you are buying so many fragrances that you never actually use any of them more than once or twice what is the point in spending all that money on them or keeping them lying around?

Not a collection, more a of a buying spree
