Do I have too many scents?

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
One way to determine if you have too many scents:

1) Samples don't count, now, do they?
2) Anything you received as a gift doesn't really count either;
3) Anything about whose authenticity you have doubts can't count until you're sure;
4) Anything on your swap or sale list is going sooner or later so may as well not count it;
5) Anything that has 'gone off' doesn't count;
6) Anything that is open is going to 'go off' so that probably doesn't count;
7) If it's unopened, how do you know what's in it? Don't count it;
8) If it's not in original container/ packaging, refrain from counting;
9) You may count decants and minis but only if they don't violate the rules above and then they may only count proportionally to normal sized containers.
10) Tally up and ask yourself why your collection is so small. Think about what to get next.

hehehe just a couple more to add...

11) There is still space on the cabinet, in the fridge etc
12) Two or more of the same fragrance, just counts as one right?
13) I got that one at a 70% discount. It Does count, but it was so cheap, hence I really do have money to get one more...

Lol, I just bought more 3 scents today:

1. Davidoff Echo Summer Fizz (100 ml)
2. Escada Magnetism (gift set; 100 ml plus shower gel 200 ml)
3.Lanvin Vetyver (gift set; 100 ml plus shower gel 50 ml)

I must be crazy! I was thinking of getting Antidote and today I just added 3 more scents to my collection before it.

Hi, yes, there is also a male version. At the annual sale, there were Cool Water, Cool Water Deep and Echo, all were Summer Fizz version. I prefer Echo as it's not so boring. However, I wouldn't recommend it as it kind of sticks to the skin. I gave myself 3 sprays round the neck and chest and I almost got no whiff of it. I will try again and see if that is really true or it was just my nose?

It opens with a slight lime scent, and you sure get the original Echo smell from the beginning to the middle notes, then the base note smells like something else, sort of fruity but invigorating. I would rate this 3 stars. Oh, why did I buy it? Actually I chose original Salvatore Ferragamo but before I made the payment I asked the girl to replace it with Echo Summer Fizz.

Anyway, I'm not disappointed. I will have to give it a few more chances before judging it now. Hope this helps.
