if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?

**change1** · 11th February 2013, 10:38 PM

if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection? Just by sniffing the sprayer... I definitely can with my 30+ bottles in my collection... it's amazing how the nose and brain works together.

**alexwagner** · 11th February 2013, 10:44 PM

Actually tried this recently and I was 100% accurate (not literally with a blindfold lol) with a decant order I placed. Obviously with the decants I couldn't cheat by the feel of the regular bottle.

**Nersh** · 11th February 2013, 10:47 PM

I have over 100, no way.

**Dane77** · 11th February 2013, 10:48 PM

Yeah, I think I could, too...although I'm not sure only sniffing the sprayer (without actually spraying or feeling the bottles in my hand...) would be quite enough to clearly distinguish Knize Ten from Etro Gomma or maybe even Chanel Sycomore from Lalique Encre Noire... but all the others, sure...

**JiveHippo** · 11th February 2013, 10:48 PM

I only own 30 or so bottles, but yes I think I could do it no problem.

**dougczar** · 11th February 2013, 10:56 PM

Great question!

Full bottles - I have over 130 now... probably not. Some I have only worn once, and I have some that are quite similar (M7 / M7 Oud Absolu, KC Black / KC Vintage Black, etc) - that would make it pretty hard. I would like to give it a try sometime.

I wouldn't stand a chance with my samples - I haven't even tried many of them yet, and most of the others I have only worn once so far.

**Nersh** · 11th February 2013, 10:56 PM

For this question, size matters !

**ChuckW** · 11th February 2013, 11:14 PM

30 bottles in my collection. No sweat. Easy money.

**comfortablynumbbg** · 11th February 2013, 11:19 PM

yes definitely

**colognejunkie2000** · 11th February 2013, 11:30 PM

91 bottles in my collection and I most definitely could do that. I sniff random bottle sprayers on a daily basis and have become quite close with all my bottles haha.

**Scentsucker** · 11th February 2013, 11:30 PM

25 bottles. Yup definitely could identity every single one.

**mcurtiss** · 11th February 2013, 11:33 PM

I have a small collection, but I'd prossibly miss some samples

**cologne connoisseur** · 11th February 2013, 11:34 PM

Over 100 full bottles and God only knows how many samples. It would be a challenge, but I'd like to think I could accurately identify 90% of the full bottles.

**timdoeswell** · 11th February 2013, 11:36 PM

I agree with dougczar - this is a cracking question.

I think I'd have trouble with my attars, but the full bottles (around 120) I reckon I should be ok.
I think the two fragrances I have that smell most similar - at least according to discussions here - Sycomore and Encre Noire, smell most different at their opening, and I'm very confident I could identify them.

The only ones that would provide me any challenge would be the real cheapies - Antonio Banderas, Pal Zileri Lab, Corduroy (I don't smell much out of this, I find it really weak) and That's Amore. I just don't wear them very often and they DO smell unremarkable.

**Renaissance_Man** · 12th February 2013, 12:13 AM

Yes I'm under 35 bottles so easily possible.

**dwrestle** · 12th February 2013, 12:17 AM

I am around 70 bottles, and there are a few that would stump me just because they are so similar to something else I have.

**change1** · 12th February 2013, 12:37 AM

The ones that would be more difficult to distinguished are the GIT / coolwater, but an expert nose can tell the difference

Same here!

**fit&frag'd** · 12th February 2013, 03:11 AM

I'm just under 25 bottles, so I wouldn't have a problem with it!

**crispyjuicy** · 12th February 2013, 03:18 AM

I have 4 bottles. Definitely hahaha

**FullCollapse** · 12th February 2013, 03:23 AM

Without a doubt I could and I have 50+ bottles!

**mlsweeney** · 12th February 2013, 03:26 AM

Like someone mentioned above, depends on if I got to spray the fragrance or not. I only have 20 bottles so if I sprayed each one, it would be very easy for me. If I could only smell the sprayer, I'd have trouble between LIDG and LIDGE. I also can't smell 1 Million straight from the sprayer which is kind of ironic considering it is one of the more potent fragrances out there.

**hednic** · 12th February 2013, 03:35 AM

All 1,400+ - Not a chance

how much money do you think you've spent on fragrances?

I don't have nearly as much as hednic, but I still wouldn't want to know how much money I've spent on my collection. It's just one of those things I prefer not to think about.

**aphexacid** · 12th February 2013, 04:25 AM

I would be able to do it i think. With the exception of maybe some of the fresh "designer" bottles. A lot of those smell so similar sometimes, especially early on.

**jasonx** · 12th February 2013, 04:34 AM

I surely can

**Partario** · 12th February 2013, 04:43 AM

Of my full bottles, probably.

**reinhard5490** · 12th February 2013, 04:57 AM

maybe only half of all my collection

**Primrose** · 12th February 2013, 05:23 AM

One word: Yes.
