Reply With QuoteActually 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.
if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.

I have over 100, no way.
Antaeus by Chanel
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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...
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
I only own 30 or so bottles, but yes I think I could do it no problem.
Signature Collection : Lux by Mona di Orio
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.

For this question, size matters !

Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
30 bottles in my collection. No sweat. Easy money.
Italian Cypress by Tom Ford
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
yes definitely
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.
CURRENT TOP 5
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
25 bottles. Yup definitely could identity every single one.
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
I have a small collection, but I'd prossibly miss some samples
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
Yes I'm under 35 bottles so easily possible.
Zen for Men by Shiseido
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
The ones that would be more difficult to distinguished are the GIT / coolwater, but an expert nose can tell the difference

I'm just under 25 bottles, so I wouldn't have a problem with it!
Aventus by Creed
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
I have 4 bottles. Definitely hahaha
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
Without a doubt I could and I have 50+ bottles!
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.

Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
All 1,400+ - Not a chance
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
how much money do you think you've spent on fragrances?
Re: if you were blindfolded, do you think you can name every fragrance in your collection?
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.
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.
