For those who are curious, I will sell these on my Mercari page (link in description) or maybe in some facebook groups. This is the easiest way for me to sell the as I don't have enough time to respond to lots of DMs and emails. I will be listing these as soon as I have time. Thanks so much for watching!
I fully understand. I don’t have that many bottles but I’m no longer going to keep bottles I don’t like and I’m not going to use. I just need to sit down and make it happen. The key is not to shop to replace them. I do prefer to keep my travel sprays and decants but only the ones I like. Otherwise I gift them during the holidays.
Yeah it took a while to go through them so finding time (and energy) to sit down with everything is a challenge. Now I have to find time to list them all. Lol!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Grand Soir. I haven't seen a negative review of it and as I like most ambers, I thought I was crazy. I feel I can get rid of my decant now. Thanks!
Hi Tara, you know I find myself decluttering and then buying more fragrances to replace them. So 100 bottles may be a stretch . I am 💯 percent sure as long as I continue to tune into to fragrances content I will have the urge to buy. I think I only have 130 full bottles, and 25 Travel Roja Dove and then I have a bunch of 15 ml by Xerjoff. Most untouched. I would LOVE to have only 50 ton75 max that I love and wear often and would repurchase.....but not sure if I could ever.....
Great video! I love the fact that you can let go of stuff, we need more RUclipsrs like that🙏🏽. Dust collectors in the cupboard make no sense. It is just ”bound capital’. So many of these fragrances I also have decluttered, Santal Blush, 40 Knots, Figues & Agrumes (also thinking about Iris Dragees), Rouge Saray and more! Beautiful bottles do create a stickiness and make them difficult to get rid of.
Thanks! Yes, the ones that have beautiful bottles are always harder for me to part with, but then I remind myself that they are just collecting dust as you said.
I decluttered Dior Addict, delina and delina exclusif, mon guerlain intense, girl I cannot stand any powdery perfumes anymore; I sold lots of them on mercari!!!
Hello Tara, I think it makes sense to get rid of the fragrances your not using. It's interesting how interest in certain notes fluctuates. I have heard more than one content creator mention they are tired of Sandalwood. It wasn't long ago that it was the most talked about fragrance note. Iris seems to be having a moment and is all over the frag comm. I agree that having too many fragrances with the same notes would leave some unworn. Letting the unworn fragrances go would allow them to be used before they could go bad. It may allow you to make room for some new fragrances and the money you get from selling could potentially go toward that. Sometimes our tastes change or we buy something blindly due to the hype but don't love it. Hopefully your closer to knowing your best of the best options now. - Jenn
Absolutely, Jenn! Very well said! I totally agree with you. As you know, I've long been a lover of iris, but I have seen it become a lot more popular recently as well. So interesting how these trends fluctuate.
I do have an itch to declutter but kind of waiting until I have some proper cabinetry installed so I can see them because I feel like there’s a lot that I don’t wear just because I don’t see them buried in a drawer.
That's how I feel about my shelves that are on the bottom. I go for a lot of the eye level ones. I should maybe rotate them around a bit to see if that changes anything.
I have a 200 ml bottle of Vétiver D'Hiver and, although I still love it, I rarely wear it! I have soooo many to declutter that it's a bit overwhelming...but I can live vicariously through you!
Anything beauty, self-care, etc related I put in the ladies room at work too!😁 Sometimes I'll leave a note it's from my personal stash so they now some rando didn't leave something "unsafe" behind. Someone always scoops it up, which makes me so happy! Other times it just gets used up while in the restroom - like hand lotion. Lotion is always popular.
I am a ready stalking your Mercari page 😄I’d love to purchase the bottle of Thé Noir; maybe Gris Dior too, but also need to be careful about adding to my own collection before really thinking about it. I’ve been in a declutter mood too. Some lucky Mercari buyers got Commodity Milk, Milky Musk from Parle Moi, and Coffee Addict from Theodoros Kalotinis. Loved all three but I wasn’t reaching for them as much anymore. I think my scent preferences have been changing recently.
That Molecule 01 + Iris is dang good tho... 🥺 And Santi Maj? And Rouge Saray? Say it isn't so! 😥 Thoroughly impressed by your objectivity Tara. And your ability to let go. We need more of that in the world!!
@@Olfactofiles Indeed. Gotta move on. Life's a game of change and flow. Money in - money out. Fragrances in - long pause..... - fragrances out. Tear. 😥 Relief.🥲
40 Knots, why?! 😆 you loved that one and actually enabled me to buy a FB! I don’t reach for it often but I love smelling it off the blotter every week.
om-gosh Tara: How funny....Last time I had to dig into my botox money, for your last declutter. Now I'm going to do it again for this declutter. I hope you list in Mercari.
Ahahaha, Rebecca! Sorry to steal from your botox savings (it is so expensive, isn't it?!). I have fall break this next week so I will start listing them on Mercari then.
This was a great video. I love how decisive you are. I've passed on about a dozen fragrances or so in the last year, and am now pretty happy with my smaller collection. I can't wait to see your collection videos!
I love declutter videos cos I find them to be so therapeutic 😍😍. Well done🙌🙌. I’ve given away 5 bottles so far cos they were not being used😉😉. Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰.
I have been decluttering my (much smaller) collection lately. I was out of town most of the summer and relied almost completely on my collection of travel sprays, so when I returned to my full collection there were scents I really missed wearing and ones and I didn't. I decluttered Guerlain's SDV! And Rouge Saray. I'm considering parting ways with Lush's coffee and cardamom, Byredo's Bal D'Alfrique, Tihota, and Dior's Hypnotic Poison which I all like but don't wear often.
Oh I am an iris lover too! I hope you will post Iris Dragee on Mercari as I am not on Facebook and I have been wanting this perfume for so long! It's good you are able to even do this. I'm not, hahaha! oxJulia
It’s ok I don’t like coco mademoiselle either; From Chanel I love Coco which is underrated but a very beautiful scent, it is similar to Gabrielle Essence that I love as well!!
Now that I finished my bottle, I was considering getting a Diptyque Eau Duelle travel but couldn’t find it anywhere 👀. It’s not in the set on their website (I don’t want others in the set anyways) and I’m not buying the refillable travel container because you need a full bottle to refill it lol
@@Olfactofiles Got it! Hopefully I can catch it before it’s gone. BTW, sorry for the typo. I meant “ listed”. It was hard for me to keep watching your video and put comments☺️
Wow, I just wish I was strong enough … or not that lazy 😂. Your iris seems to be my mint and if I’m honest there are some I definitely prefer over the others. And still: I love them all. *Sigh* Send help! 😊
@@Olfactofiles I keep trying to sell on the groups but nobody is buying. There are so many more people selling right now. Also I think the economy has impacted a lot of folks ability to buy luxury items. I know myself I need to cut way back. I’m hoping I can sell about 10 bottle soon

Congratulations on the productive declutter. I will check it out. I’m also using up and decluttering.
@@tdsollog thank you, Tiffany!
I don’t see them on your Mercari yet. When will you list them?
@@LateefahABrown hopefully I will have time next week. Thanks!
@@Olfactofiles you’re welcome. Mostly everything sold. Congratulations.
the white gucci is fantastic and the way it keeps changing is amazing
And if I couldn’t like you anymore…🎉🎉Teacher of the Year! Congratulations! That’s really something.
Aww, thank you very much, Lynn!
I love your blouse / dress, you look so stylish! Great video x
Wow congrats on winning teacher of the year!! How cool! I know things have been tough for teachers these last few years.

Ruthless Tara! De-clutters are liberating.
Also, Grand Soir never did it for me either.
Thanks, Pep! You definitely inspired me to reduce my collection.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Grand Soir. I haven't seen a negative review of it and as I like most ambers, I thought I was crazy. I feel I can get rid of my decant now. Thanks!
Yeah, I love a lot of amber fragrances as well, but that one has never worked for me.
Same.

Wow last time I think I caught one of your perfume collection videos you were around the 220 mark! You’ve pared it back heaps! Awesome job Tara 😃
Thanks, Cherie! Yes, I have slowly been reducing over the last year. Though I have still been adding some here and there as well. 🙈
I would LOVE to see an updated fragrance collection video from you!! This was a very satisfying declutter to watch.
Thank you! I will definitely film my collection soon!
I do have an itch to declutter but kind of waiting until I have some proper cabinetry installed so I can see them because I feel like there’s a lot that I don’t wear just because I don’t see them buried in a drawer.
That's how I feel about my shelves that are on the bottom. I go for a lot of the eye level ones. I should maybe rotate them around a bit to see if that changes anything.
130 is still a very large collection. I think you can do it. I need to declutter too. Unfortunately your declutter is making me want to buy. 😂
Lol! Thank you, Penelope!
Always interesting to see what doesn’t make the cut. I usually pass my sample sets on to friends to play with.
I have a 200 ml bottle of Vétiver D'Hiver and, although I still love it, I rarely wear it! I have soooo many to declutter that it's a bit overwhelming...but I can live vicariously through you!
It is overwhelming sometimes, Jim. I've been doing it in rounds of 15-30 bottles at a time.
Anything beauty, self-care, etc related I put in the ladies room at work too!😁 Sometimes I'll leave a note it's from my personal stash so they now some rando didn't leave something "unsafe" behind. Someone always scoops it up, which makes me so happy! Other times it just gets used up while in the restroom - like hand lotion. Lotion is always popular.
Wow love your top!
Thanks! I almost decluttered it once, but I'm glad I didn't.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I will gladly purchase molecule 01+ Iris 😉 will keep an eye out for it
Thanks! I'll post them next week if all goes well.
I'm readdyyyyyy!! Hoping to get my hands quite a few of these since they're on my wishlist! I still love the L'Interdit I purchased from you ❤
Thanks!!! I plan to list them next week. 😁
@@Olfactofiles thank you!!! Looking forward to it!
Wow 200+ to 130. That's a big progress! I can't wait for the collection vedio!!!
Thank you so much, Celia!
Your the first person who has actually mentioned Paris-Venice! I have travel spray and think it smells so refreshing and clean👍🏻
Yes! I really enjoy it. I had the shower gel as well but used that up this summer.
@@Olfactofiles there’s a shower gel?!

I’d take the Iris Dragee. I didn’t care for Rouge Saray after a while. I’m not sure why either. I’ll keep it for now.
Yeah, it is just a bit too sweet for me now.

How to make "Why am I wasting my valuable skin?" a catchphrase throughout fragcomm 🤔
Interested in the Iris Draggee from Lancôme. Would love to purchase the rest of your bottle.

As a fellow teacher and fragrance lover, I’m just wondering what magic you’re working to have a collection this beautiful and luxe!
Thanks, Danielle. The main thing is I don't have kids. 🤣
😳 runs to Mercari...
Logs in.
Sad to see Musc Ravageur in the bunch. I’ve just discovered that fragrance and find it enchanting.
