And no shade to anyone who still uses it, of course. I’m just personally going to stop using it. It’s been a tremendously helpful site that I used for a while, ever since a friend recommended it to me, and I’m glad i had it at all, i would never have mastered and memorized so many formulas and notes without it, but as of now, i’m going to be deleting my account and switching to something new. The main reasons stem from a few things, the main one being that I feel like a huge portion of the community is quite toxic, and another really kind of… unserious if you understand what i mean? There’s nothing wrong with humor and fun, perfume enthusiasts shouldn’t be a bunch of snobby stiffs 😭, but it feels like there’s more trolling and juvenile internet humor that’s taking it over. Also i don’t think the note breakdowns are all that accurate. They’re not off the walls wrong, but because the notes are voted by community and put in, without any real verification on accuracy, it can end up risking misinformation or getting the wrong thing, which I call the Wikipedia risk. If you want a good example of this, go to the note breakdown for Club de Nuit Bling. Enough said. Another reason as to why I’m not using this, and I say this carefully, and you’ll see why… is because of their stances. Now, I have no issue with people having their own political beliefs, including ones I might not align with, or ones that I do. Everyone does, we all have our own agreements and disagreements, and it’s fine. But Fragrantica, as well as their admins and users have been getting a bit politically outspoken, and those statements are mixing into the community on there. Not even just that, they’ve began to block or filter out opinions they don’t like or agree with. Now while I don’t entirely like the idea of just unchecked political opinions being strewn about, on either side, if you’re going to start suppressing one side of opinions, do so to the other side. Politics do not belong in a hobby like this. Period.

Hello All & Happy Independence Day to everyone who’s celebrating!! My wife and I just put new shelving up in our cedar closet and I have started unpacking my collection. Hers is still boxed away 😳😬 It’s been a while since the bottles have been pulled out but am interesting everyone’s ideas on how to maximize the display? I was thinking about plastic stadium type displays so that they could have 2 or three rows of different heights. I’d like to be able to visually see my bottles and still make it easier to grab a bottle I’m interested in. I’m also wondering if alphabetical order makes sense just so I know where to start looking? I have a call into my closet guy to see if we could put drawer slides in the fragrance shelves to also make it easier to see and grab. I’d love to hear all thoughts and suggestions. Thank you all 🙏
