@@CarmenScentrix start with taking away similar fragrances you have. Then take away the fragrances you don't reach for and fragrances that you wear but you don't love or don't last. I'm still cutting down the cooler weather fragrances I'm wearing.
@@imran150ia awhhh thank you so much for taking the time to respond and share your tips!! I'm going to apply them and attempt to declutter! I'm feeling overwhelmed with my large collection!
I have a little over 300 🫣🙈🙈🙈 and I don’t know how to downsize which scents to let go as majority is love. Perhaps can let go of a few but thats way too many perfumes to keep. Help!!!!
I had 5 last year. I finished 3 of them and now I have 28 bottles (50 ml and up). This year is a milestone year for me and the new scents I’ve added to my collection have made this year extra special. I ❤ every single one of them and I have wonderful scented memories and stories with each of them. I’m not counting the purse / travel size, solid fragrances and fragrance (body/hair) mists although I don’t have that many - they are useful for travel and everyday touch-ups and I enjoy all of them too! There’s a handful that I have gifted or will dispose of, and I’m happy with the small collection that I have now 😊.
I love collection videos, I find it so interesting to see what people have and love. As far as my collection size, in 2021 I found out about Mercari and decided to start selling off fragrances I never used or blind bought and disliked. I also wanted to reduce the size of my collection. Unfortunately, since I love fragrances so much I did sell quite a lot but then I purchased more so I think my collection might be bigger than it was last year.😂
I’m soooo excited! Friday night, no life, I’m here for the collection… seriously Tara you have become one of my faves when it comes to fragrance! I’m so sick of all the ‘fragrance consumer’ channels where they use the same adjective to talk about every bottle they got their hands on… sorry I’m on a rant, I genuinely appreciate watching channels that truly love and understand fragrance! Okay I’m down to watch! 💞
I think I had maybe 7 fragrances last year and now I have 21 and plenty of samples. I'm happy where my collection is, I absolutely love and treasure my perfumes 💗
Love your videos and your taste in perfumes. Have you ever tried Ormaie L’ivree bleue? I absolutely love it for fall and winter with notes of rum, iris some vanilla and cacao pod. Would love to hear your thoughts on it
lovely collection the iris one has such a pretty bottle iris de siricus sounds similar to the new atelier des ors perfume coming out. pink me up will you be picking it up its so pretty looking 💖
Tara, hi! Been watching you for a while now. Thanks for your entertaining and informative content. Bought Dusita Issara because of you and I’m in love. It was a blind buy. What can I say? I live my life on the edge. Lol. THANK YOU! ❤
I had two last year & now have over 40… & am fully aware it’s time to slow my 💵 roll😅 …hard to tho when there’re so many lovely scents to try! BTW, I love E&J Nirvana Black - it’s so danggg good! Also, Generic Perfumes, a dupe house in Kuwait has their own version of CH Iris Empire which is one I just gotta have a sniff of - even if it’s a dupe! (I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet tho, so plmk if you know of another way to get a sniff of this!)❤ in the meantime, on to the next part of your amazing collection!
Really excited to see you’re doing this. Does Iris Empire have the type of Iris note that smells like lipstick or makeup? I’ve been interested to try it but that type of Iris I don’t enjoy. I finally have Issara on the way to me. I actually had self control for at least two years until I found for a much discounted price. Can’t wait for the rest of your collection!
Hi Tara, Since you like iris, have you tried Atelier Cologne Silver Iris? It's my favorite iris fragrance ever. My first niche perfume was Nicolaï Figtea and my second is Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine. Since then I have about 50 bottles and my collection is growing fast. 😅
I love your sweater!!! Can you tell me where you got it?? I really like it. Love your reviews and missed you while you were away. Glad you’re back to reviewing perfumes. Have a great day. 😊
@@Olfactofiles thanks for your quick reply. Sometimes I can actually find older sweaters on Poshmark or Mercari. I’ll try to find it or something similar. 😊
A year ago I had like 5-6 bottles and now I’m a little over 100. Yes I went a little crazy with the cheapies and now trying to figure best way to declutter @30. Live and learn, right?🤷🏼♂️
i continue to add unfortunately. I have quite a few I'd like to sale ( probably Mercari) but can't quite figure out how to price items and then should I charge to ship or just add it ( the shipping cost) into the price of the fragrance? Any help would be appreciated!
I just have them pay shipping. I have a scale so I know I'm charging the least. I look how much it's selling for on Mercari and price accordingly. I check to see if it's continued and if you can get it and how much it costs on those sites. You never want your price and shipping to be more than they can buy it somewhere else. And people are gonna low ball. I put please use the offer button to make an offer, otherwise you get people that ask what's the lowest you will go. Idk if this helps.
@@TeddyBear-dk7tk I got a sample from fragrancenet. It goes away after a couple hours but then just vanilla for me. I'm sorry, I may be the only weirdo that smells bandaids. Maybe look at reviews on fragrantica and see what other people think?
@@candyglaze I got 8ml, so selling this bad boy. Of course I get the big one of a stinker. I'm sad to say I had a similar reaction to babycat. Burning leather. Plasticky took hours for that to go away then smelled very pleasant. But I couldn't make it through that dry down for another pleasant vanilla.
Unfortunately I had to stop watching because the unfocused perfume when you’re holding it up to the camera was hurting my eyes maybe you should just record the perfumes the whole time. Which really sucked because I wanted to watch the 3 video series.
How similar are ambre narguile and angels share? I have angels share and love it, but I feel like I want ambre narguile (never sampled it tho) the notes sound right up my alley so I’m tempted
What is your collection like now compared to a year ago? I'd love to hear how it's changed. Thanks for watching!
I doubled, while trying to downsize. Too many good new ones! I have about 600 FB, and over 3k samples
@@ryanepps771 😱😱😱 3k samples?! Ryan!!! 🤣🤣🤣 You'll never not smell good, at least!
@@Olfactofiles out of 3k, I chose 600. That's how picky I am. 😄
@@ryanepps771 🤣🤣🤣
I had 9 now i have 29…thanks to YOU! I blame you for that!
I had 500 Fragrances a year ago. I'm down to 360. Still trying to cut down to what I love.
That's impressive!!! I've cut mine nearly in half.
You should give us some tips on how you decide what to get rid of! I'm struggling😩
😮😮😮wow I have 20 bottles I feel I have too much 😅

Loved your content,really enjoyed your video and wonderful perfumes. Thank you for sharing. Would you have a layering video coming up soon? Please 😊
Nice! Great collection. 1957 is wonderful. Your dad must have a great deal of fun at Christmas.
I can't get enough of iris and musk. 🥰🥰🥰
My mom also has that leg lamp! She brings it out for January after Christmas is put away. So funny! Totally enjoy your collection ❤️
Lol! That's awesome! Thank you, Tina!
Can’t wait to see part 2!
You made me think more seriously about trimming down my huge collection, quality vs quantity..
It's always a fun annual collection overview, Tara. Also to see what you've kept since you're minimizing your fragrances. ❤️
Thanks, Heather! I am mailing your package today, by the way!
@@Olfactofiles Yay, and thank-you ❤️
Omg! I think we have the same taste, love your descriptions of scent
Love your channel!
Thank you!
Your collection is fabulous, Tara!!! 💜💜💜 Love these collection videos!!!

I found Loubirouge like a stripped back version of Lune Feline

Hello!, about Ardent: how is its performance, especially speaking of projection and sillage?

Thank you so much, Renee! It is from the brand INC, but it's at least 5 years old so probably not easy to find.
@@Olfactofiles thanks for your quick reply. Sometimes I can actually find older sweaters on Poshmark or Mercari. I’ll try to find it or something similar. 😊
great job lovely
so excited😍
Thanks!
Nice collection, Tara.

My whole collection started since June. So I had three perfumes now I have too many. OMG 61 not including minis and travel sprays. Stop me. LOL

Thanks Tara 10-14-2022👍🏽♥️
Super
Does lune feline smell like loubi rouge ?
I’m hovering at about 270 full bottles.
You look gorgeous! Because of you I tried and bought several Dusita fragrances. I think Issara is magical:) Waiting impatiently for part 2:)
Thank you!!! So glad you love Issara as well!
Tara!!!!!!
Hey Celia!
@@Olfactofiles so happy that you uploaded the collection video! 😍
I tried lune feline. I can't understand why I smell bandaids. I wish I smelled what other people smell.
I was considering ordering Lune Feline. But I don’t want to smell like bandaids 😂 now I am scared to order it
@@TeddyBear-dk7tk I got a sample from fragrancenet. It goes away after a couple hours but then just vanilla for me. I'm sorry, I may be the only weirdo that smells bandaids. Maybe look at reviews on fragrantica and see what other people think?
Yep me too…I gave my sample away because it smelt like gasoline on me!!
