My Love of Scents immediately becomes clear when one takes a look at how large my actual collection is. I do have a few, what I term, Signature scents that I always reach for, and the rest in my collection I wear to trigger a different mood and various altering effects. I also collect unique bottles that catch my fancy or that I feel have a particular aesthetic akin to my artistic sensibility. I adore Art Nouveau and feminine curves in my bottles. Over the years I have used and repurchased a few scents that I can never be without-which is a different post altogether....lol. I hope you enjoy taking a peek at my collection. I feel almost sheepish divulging this because not many know how obsessed I am with collecting scents.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that I have been aquiring vintage and unique perfumes along with my wearable ones for many years. I rotate them according to my appetite and season. I typically display my current ones in my rotation on two glass display tables in my bedroom. However the rest I keep sealed away in quality sealed gift box sized plastic boxes with lids and keep them stored properly. As I rotate quite often I'm never too concerned about a bottle going "sour", before I"m able to use it up.
Recently I have been vintage hunting for unique crystal and glass decants to begin working on my own perfume mixing. Very inspired and its really given me so much to research and ambition to create something unique and all mine.

I am thinking of sharing my collection soon by having a Fragrance Party for friends. Basically coming over and having a scent sample party. I have a large collection I think and it might be fun for friends that either cant buy often and end up with a "scrubber", and those who might be afraid to venture into this territory, and of course for friends like myself who love to try scents they have never had the chance to wear.
What do you think?

Wow you have a ton! I think I would go crazy having that many, but you have some great ones, I see you also have the Vince Camuto, my favorite :) and you got Tokyomilk as well...I like the Tainted Love perfume. Great collection, and the scent party idea is pretty neat.
