Do you guys own all this stuff?
What's doin Carl,
I don't want you to think I have bottles of every scent on my list. In many cases, there's a large decant instead. A 10mm size one can often last me 8-10 months or longer. With some of the juice, only a very small amount is needed.
Years ago when first starting this fragrance thingy, I did lots of research at Basenotes, The Perfumed Court, and a few other places. Ordered a bunch of very small decants and eventually found some worth reordering in a larger amount.
Lucky for me, there's stores not far away that carry high end lines. So I can go in and huff some frags whenever I like....even Creed. Usually I can get through maybe half a dozen before olfactory fatigue sets in. That's even when using the coffee beans in the counter to help clear my schnozz after each couple samples......kinda like a nasal sorbet.
My suggestion would be sniff first if you can, otherwise order small decants to see what's up. Also, it can sometimes take a number of wearings before I finally decide if I like a frag enough to buy it again.
Hah, have fun going (even more) nuts,,
