Wonderful collection, Threshold!!
I love
smells - wet leaves and hot stones, gunpowder, skin, indoles.... I love niche (oh the samples...), discovering new scents and happily wear perfumes branded for men, layering and have learned to appreciate elements of perfumes even when I don't like specific ingredients or accords.
All this has actually kept me from purchasing full bottles because I like to switch it up as much as I do. The ones listed below are large decants, minis and full bottles. I have not listed perfumes I owned previously or presents from others that I don't use.
A Lab on Fire - What we do in Paris is Secret
Amouage - Gold pour Femme, Lyric Woman
Annick Goutal - Eau d'Hadrien, Eau du Ciel, Les Orientalists - Encens Flamboyant, Le Mimosa, Songes
Caron - Yatagan, Tabac Blond
Chanel - Allure
Comme des Garcons - 2 Man, Series 3:Incense - Avignon
Dior - Dune, J'Adore L'Or (+ Tendre Poison & Diorissimo, see below)
Diptyque - Philosykos
Etat Libre d'Orange - Jasmin et Cigarette
Guerlain - Mitsouko, Samsara
Hermès - Eau des Merveilles, L'Ambre des Merveilles, Terre d'Hermes
Jean Patou - Joy
Geza Schoen for
Kinski - Kinski

Maître Parfumeur et Gantier - Ambre Précieux
Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan, Cèdre, Chergui, Fleurs d'Oranger, Un Bois Vanille
Tauer - Incense Rose, L'Air du Désert Marocain
*Dior - Diorissimo and Tendre Poison: last whispers in empty bottles that I will treasure forever. I loved these, now Tendre is discontinued and horrible reformulated Diorissimo doesn't tickle my fancy - not to mention obnoxiously-priced ebay fakes that continue to destroy my hopes)
Sample Sets
Miller et Bertaux - A Quiet Morning, #1 - Parfum Trouvé, #3 - Green, Green and Green, OM
Neela Vermeire - Bombay Bling, Mohur & Trayee
Serge Lutens' non-export wax sample book. The ones I've compared to liquid spray so far correspond well (though a little less dimensional) and I'm really enjoying this. Total of 24, of which at least 3 so far will make it to my collection.
Slumberhouse - Norne, Jeke and Pear & Olive
Van Cleef & Arpels - Collection Extraordinaire - Bois d'Iris, Cologne Noir, Gardenia Petale, Lys Carmin, Muguet Blanc & Orchidée Vanille
No idea how many individual samples I have and I don't keep a list unless I end up repurchasing.
Currently saving up for this beauty: Frédéric Malle's 2012 coffret.
