...is almost all grown up now. In fact, I've outgrown my display shelves, so I'm moving some to the bathroom (yeah yeah I know it's not good for the frags, but this bathroom is super well ventilated, it gets zero sunlight, and I'm only putting in my most worn frags that I'll burn through before they go bad): - One shelf for year-round daily grab 'n go dumb reaches (year round, I find myself reaching for Dior Homme 2020, Prada Luna Rossa Ocean EDT, and Armaf Mandarin Sky Elixir) - One shelf for seasonal daily grab 'n go dumb reaches (in cool weather, I find myself reaching for Boss Bottled Absolu, Lalique Ombre Noir, and TF Eau d'Ombre Leather) - One shelf for decants I'm testing and travel sprays I use most often when traveling I think I need a few more frags for the following categories: - one more warm spicy (I think I'd sell/trade Incense 01 to make room): top candidates are Blonde Amber or Sauvage Elixir, or maybe the new Micallef Nototious XO which I’ve been testing dnd is just delicious - one dumb reach sweet vanilla (I'd squeeze BB Absolu onto the display shelves and put the new one on my seasonal shelf): top candidates are MB Club Black; Superz Memories Gold; Boss Collection Exhilarating Vanilla (I got my nose on it in London this week and it seemed really good -- I need to see if I can find a decant); or maybe SWYI or TMWP - one more 3-season easy wear (I'd squeeze it onto the display shelves): this one is tough, thinking Superz Morocco or Smesh; Initio Rehab; Boss Bottled Beyond; or maybe Boss Collection Elegant Vetiver - I got my nose on this in London this week and if I can find a decant, I definitely want to give it a wear My collection is 3-season and cool weather heavy (I mean, here in the PNW we don't really get much summer) and any future purchases beyond the three I mentioned above would probably be warm/hot weather choices. But... I don't really *need* any more warm weather fragrances, and aside from the bottle categories I mentioned above, I think I might be done buying full bottles. With my crazy process of buying and battling decants, I can honestly say I absolutely love every single bottle I own, and there are literally hundreds of other frags that I've worn and found not to be as good for me as the ones I ended up buying.
