I just bought 4 x 125 ml of YSL Rive Gauche, because I was told it was being reformulated into something worse - but I already have frags enough for the next 15 years, so I will stop this madness.......
I guess you with 1200+ bottles in your collection shouldn't even consider buying backup bottles - even if you use a new frag 4 times a day and overspray with 8-10 sprays, your collection will last you 3 lifetimes.........

I agree - even though my collection still is at a modest level, I will stop buying backups, they will end up being 10 years old before I even start to use them - and then maybe will end up being worse than if I bought a new reformulated version of it

I also always buy the biggest bottle available - hence I have 25 # 200 ml bottles, 6-8 150 ml bottles of the more popular designer frags, 18-20 125/120 ml, and the rest are 100 ml/90 ml and 75 ml bottles and only 75 ml because I couldn't buy a size larger than that.
