I left the windows open last night and when I woke up this morning my apartment was cooold. I was chilled to the bone. But I knew what I needed to do… before heading to the airport for another business trip, I threw on some TF Eau d’Ombre Leather. I’ve been waiting for cool weather so I could wear this one again. I just love it - it’s an inviting, gentle powdery vanilla with lots of warmth from cardomom and very approachable leather, floating on an ambroxan cloud. This is literally the only leather fragrance I’ve ever found that I like - the leather is definitely here but it’s a soft smooth luxury leather, not rough and raw. This one is highly under-rated IMHO, and is totally unlike the others in the Ombré Leather line. On my skin it projects softly but firmly for hours. Now everyone on the plane can enjoy it too!

The resale value of fragrances varies significantly depending on whether the item is a designer or clone fragrance. Clones have very low resale value, while designer perfumes can hold or increase in value under specific conditions, particularly if they are discontinued. Resale value of designer fragrances The resale value of designer fragrances is highly inconsistent and depends on several key factors. Most mainstream fragrances, once opened or even just purchased from a discounter, lose value immediately, similar to buying a new car. However, some designer and niche perfumes can become collector's items. Key factors that influence designer perfume resale value: - Discontinuation: The most significant factor driving value appreciation is a fragrance being discontinued. When a beloved scent is taken off the market, the remaining bottles become sought-after commodities for collectors and fans who want to stock up. (Think ADG Profumo or Dior Home Parfum the older batches or original the ones that the vast majority of people consider materpieces) - Rarity and demand: The price of a discontinued fragrance is driven by the number of remaining bottles and the level of public demand. Scents with a dedicated following can command very high prices on resale markets like eBay or Facebook. - Condition and completeness: A bottle that is full or nearly full, in excellent condition, and still has its original box will be worth significantly more than a used bottle with missing packaging. - Original formulation: Older, "vintage" formulations are often preferred by collectors over newer reformulations, as ingredients and formulas can change over time. This makes vintage bottles more desirable and valuable. - The fragrance house: Certain brands like Guerlain, Chanel, and Christian Dior have a long history of creating highly desirable scents. Their discontinued and vintage offerings often perform well on the collector's market.  Resale value of clone fragrances Clone fragrances, which are less expensive scents designed to smell like popular designer and niche perfumes, have little to no resale value.
