As I said in a thread on the women's board, I used up I think 3 bottles of Pasha by Cartier in my teenage days and I am now in my second bell jar of Chergui. I also re-bought Essenza del Tempo by Trussardi when I had finished it.

I wore Joop! exclusively for around a decade in my younger days so I went through bottles I can't remember how many. After a bottle emptied one time I decided to find other frags to wear and even though I got a 1oz bottle from a discounter like Ross for $10 or something I haven't worn it once since then. I have no desire to wear it though I still like it I just prefer so many other things to wear. Call it maturity or call it changing tastes or call it whatever. It just sits among the growing collection as a monument of days gone by....

I am "fragrance positive" just for 18 months and only bottle that I finished is 50ml of Bvlgari Aqva. Also around 20ml out of it was lost during my flight from Hurghada last year.

There are so many fragrances to experience that I prefer buying decants and small bottles now.

Hmm, this may not be 100% accurate, but I think I can list all the bottles I've ever finished:

1 Brut (small bottle of aftershave)
1 Grey Flannel (mini, spilled the last bit of it)
1 Chaps (mini)
1 Bottle Polo (Green) <-- Edit: forgot that one, adding it later
3 Calvin for men (two bottles of the original formulation, one mini of the re-release and -formulation)
1 Czech & Speake Grapefruit (which was later renamed Citrus Paradisi)
1 DSH Poivre (small bottle of EdP)

And then I've "finished" several additional bottles by saying to myself, "Well, I'll never wear that one again" and stashing them in the back of the office closet. I do occasionally sell bottles, too, but that I don't count as "finishing" on any level.

Crabtree & Evelyn Extrait of Mysore Sandalwood and Acqua di Parma Colonia . . . 25 years plus of Hong Kong landfill littered with the broken shards and empty glass remains of my perennial favourites.

I fear this question, as I have such a diverse wardrobe as to not overcome the crown holders:


bootleg imitation walgreens "fragrance impressions" Polo Sport
bootleg imitation walgreens "fragrance impressions" Cool Water

I have finished one 1 Ounce bottle and 1 3.4 ounces of coolwater, quite unsuprising as it was my first cologne.
I also finished a set of 4 small imitations i bought back then as I had no money to buy originals.
I'm also down to a little bit of my Jil Sunder Sun Men, a 75 ml bottle.
I dont think I will empty many bottles from now on as my wardrobe is constantly growing by 2 times the amount i use up.

50 ml Chocolovers by Aquolina (there is some juice left that I'm afraid to use it up)
115 ml CK One (from a 15ml mini and a 200ml bottle) (this has been my signature scent for about a year)
100 ml CK Truth (used to be my work scent, hate the smell so try to use it up as quick as I can)

I've used some 500-600ml of Chanel's delish Égoïste since 1994,
I wore it almost exclusively over a period of many years.

A little over 300ml of Fahrenheit (I'm on my fourth bottle),
and approx. the same amount of Hypnotic Poison.

This is a toss-up between Polo and Creed Green Irish Tweed. From 15-25 it's Polo...from 27 until now, it's GIT. I very seldom finish an entire bottle of anything, and I'm not below 70% full on any bottle in my collection. What does that say about me?

I've finished a lot of single bottles, but I'm surprised to say that the only bottle I have finished and re-purchased is Ungaro III. I think I use a lot of it because of its versatility...working on my second bottle now.

I will definitely be repurchasing Guerlain Vetiver when I'm done with that one too...

Over my lifetime most likely Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien- probably about 10 bottles since I discovered it back in the 80's. In the past 5 years it would be Muscs Koublai Khan- one bell jar and one import bottle.

I think in total liquid it's a toss up between Eternity, Just Me and Fahrenheit. I know I had about 12 1.7 oz bottles of Eternity (one time I bought 6 at once lol) At which time, these were all signature scents to me, which would explain my massive usage. Having such a premature nose as well, I would become a victim of olfactory fatigue and overspray upon every application. During 2005-2008 I went through I believe 4 or 5 3.4 oz bottles of Just Me, it was my signature scent at the time... I find it to be horrible now.. what was I thinking!? And then Fahrenheit, I've gone through nearly 3 6.7 oz bottles.

Yes, it is super weak indeed! That's the exact reason why it's empty now

I'm also noticing that our noses are "similar" and we like the same things. Interesting.
