That cabinet came from pottery barn. IMO, it is very difficult to find a good quality cabinet to suit the storage needs I was looking for. Most of these cabinets are display type with glass doors, which was out of the question.

IMO - When you check out of this life, you can't take your money with you, but the government sure as hell will try to get a piece of it. It is much harder for Uncle Sam to get a piece when it is locked up in things like this; collections, art, etc.

Enjoy very much looking at everyone's collection. Very impressive indeed.

@starshipvelcro
Beautiful collection there(esp Les Parisiennes line) and glad to see you didn't use that bulb atomizer thingy on your goodies.
L'Heure de Nuit quite good isn't it? I enjoyed very much the soapy aspect in the middle stage from this one.

Good luck to successfully assemble their cabinet's / wardrobe!!! I bought a closet organizer yrs back and made a mistake of following their notes - it was like running thru a maze blindfolded! Since then I've learnt to make cabinets on my own, which are much cheaper and stronger and lasts longer!

I have the bulb atomizers in the boxes they came in, at first I was adding/removing it from the bottle everytime I wanted to wear it but that got tiresome and the spray was inconsistent. I ended up decanting a few mL at a time into an atomizer, much better.

L'Heure de Nuit is surprisingly good. I can't lie though, half the reason I bought it was the color of the juice alone...the other half being the good reports I was hearing. I'm happy with it though, and it looks gorgeous next to Vetiver Pour Elle and Cherry Blossom.

I like keeping them in boxes; what if I try to (more-so doubtful for higher end ones? ) sell them later on. Also, less light exposure in general probably.

Can anyone recommend me a cheap, nice way of displaying my scents that won't expose them to so much light (I see these collections and wonder if being exposed to room lights will cause faster spoilage)? Right now I just have them in a big box I got that is now completely filled with fragrances and decants and I need some alternate form of storage.

It is supposed to be ADG refill with sprayer. I bought it at reputable etailer like 3 years ago and it smells great and lasts 8+ hours so I doubt that its fake.

Just google images with Acqua Di Gio refill. There are more pics of it...

Decided to take some pictures since I doubt I'll be buying much in the coming year (life changes.) This is my entire collection, barely fitting on my dresser....

I have gone through these over and over in my head...selling many old ones...weeding out the bad, replacing them with the good that I've found. Each bottle I have justified in my head, each bottle I feel belongs in my collection as of right now. I feel good about how it has turned out, somewhat proud to have assembled it. There is not a dud in the group in my eyes. I don't have time to waste on the mediocre, I need to spend my time enjoying my gems.



Overhead



Angled! Yea!



A selection of what I'd consider my very favorites as of right now....



Army of mini's



Where they are housed for now...(completely full)

These are amazing =) .... I'm sure even though you have weeded out those you don't like, you still have a hard time deciding which fragance to wear on a daily basis hehehehe.

I am so excited that I finally get to participate in this thread. I just got a new glass tower from IKEA and I just had to show off my collection. I know it is small, but I've only been collecting for 8 months now. Let me know what you think!
Attachment 19549

The top two levels are niche (some you cannot see). Then, the level below that is designer fragrances, and finally the row on the bottom is all of my samples. If you look, the ones on the left in the front are all Slumberhouse, then it goes Amouage, Creed, By Killian, and then a few random decants.

The decants are Chypre Palatin (24mL), Invasion Barbare (24mL), Orange Sanguine (30mL), and Neroli Portofino (30mL). At least those are the ones you can see in the picture.
