I'm not really collecting, I tell myself I'm going to use it all up at some point, but I went a bit crazy during the pandemic out of boredom. And I still have some I want to get. So now my "collection" consists off the top of my head :

Jean-Paul Gaultier : le male le parfum intense
Xerjoff: Italica, k'bridgeclub
Le Couvent des minimes: Tinhare, Fort Royal
Francis Kurkdjian: Oud Satin Mood
Hermes: Ambre Narguile, Myrrhe Eglantine, Poivre Samarcande, Vanille Galante, Paprika brezil, some others in travel set...
Guerlain: Shalimar
Aqua di Parma: Mandorlo di Sicilia
Occitane: Karité torrefie, eau des baux
Jo Malone: Velvet Rose something something
Montale: Intense Cafe, vanille absolu, arabians...
Lolita Lempicka: Green Lover
Moschino: Toy Boy
Van Cleef: Orchdée vanille

I think my favorites would have to be Oud Satin Mood as well as the Hermessence collection, the latter because they are so wearable, yet interesting. I want to try more Francis Kurkdjian fragrances, blown away by Oud Satin Mood. Most disappointing brand wise so far have been Jo Malone, Van Cleef and Montale, probably won't be getting any more of those.

I think from memory I have:-

Most prized - unopened 1930s bottle of Caron nuit de Noel in casing and baccarat bottle.

I read Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez’ book on perfumes and it was a big influence in building my collection and falling in love with Guerlain especially but I definitely don’t agree with all their rankings,

Caron - nuit de Noel
CDG Avignon (amazing)
Chanel- coco, 19, I had allure sensuelle and 5 but I have no urge to replace them now they are used up.
Clinique-aromatics elixir, elixir in white
Dior - miss Dior original, dune ( I don’t like any of their others at all I don’t think)
Elizabeth Arden -green tea, GT cassis and sunflowers (totally disagree with LT here I think Green tea is great.)
Etro - Paisley, Messe d’minuit (amazing)
Frederic Malle - portrait of a lady, musc ravaguer
Guerlain - l’huere bleu, habit rouge, shalimar,
mitsouko (all show stoppers)
Hermes - eau d orange verte
Issey miyake edt
Marc Jacobs- dot
MFK
Molinard - habinata (amazing)
Moschino- toy boy, cheap and chic
Patou - 1000 joy sublime
Yardley - rose, honeysuckle, bergamot (sometimes you just want simple)
YSL - rive gauche
Zoologist civet

I was looking into montale incense because I’m obsessed with incense and I kept hearing so many bad things about it I didn’t even want to buy it on discount- so strange as these niche companies need all the fans they can get.

Based on your collection, I think you will be disappointed. But if it's not too much of a hassle, get a sample or a travel set or something.

I did post most of my collection above ^
However I did miss a few :lol:

Givenchy ysatis
Shay and blue - black tulip - as the name suggests this indie scent is in the same family as TF black orchid
Clinique aromatics elixir and elixir in white (just finished)
MFK - grand sour
Rochas - eau de rochas and I had Madame and used it up in no time
Patchouli oil


I am always on the hunt for incense frangrances and I am keen for a tuberose because it does cling well to my skin- either Givenchy interdit or fracas.

I enjoy Ysatis as well. Today, I am wearing Grand Soir, and thought I would share my thoughts. It's a rich, heady amber fragrance. There's benzoin in it, and some sweetness from vanilla and tonka. I don't find it too sweet though. It's a powerhouse -- so just one spray for me, otherwise it will be too much. There's a very slight synthetic note in the evolution, but it's not very obvious. I prefer wearing it in the cooler months. I think I'll do an "amber week" this week, and wear my most preferred amber-centric fragrance tomorrow (Ambre Sultan), followed by a few other ambers that have been neglected over the summer.
