hey gentleman!
i've decided i'm rebuilding my fragrance wardrobe. several years ago i became addicted into collecting scents, rare bottles... basically, i had to have everything i sampled. and at the time i was working in a department store fragrance counter, so getting a bottle or two a week was not a problem (with the giveaways, promotions etc.. i always had something new). at my peak, i had upwards of 60 bottles in my armoire. but after spending 4 years traveling, my addiction faded away and i just lost interest.
my current "wardrobe" (which is basically just a handful of bottles in a leather case in my sock drawer) consists of a few favorites, mostly designer, and a handful received as gifts. but hardly anything i'd consider a "go to" fragrance. being a somewhat minimalist, i have a fear of getting back to the stage where i start filling drawers with fragrances, harassing the mailman for not delivering my packages on time, and getting to know the sales associates at the counters better than my family members.. i just want to create the perfect (well, perfect to me) little wardrobe that can relied upon in any situation.
what i'm looking to build is a small (i'm talking 10 to 15 bottles) of essential fragrances that i can choose from to match with any occasion. as in a clothing wardrobe (the perfect white shirt, the perfect flat front pant, the two button suit... you get the idea), there are essential pieces. i'm not looking for individual fragrance names yet, but i'm trying to narrow it down to types. a fougere, and oud, a gourmand, an aquatic.. ???
so i'm asking for a little guidance here.. what types of fragrances are essential to a wardrobe? how can i cover pretty much everything with as few fragrances as possible?
(thanks in advance for anyone who has suggestions).
