@Nkwkfld:
Once I went parfum rather than toilet I never went back. Gateway scent was Aesop Marrakech intense
Never went back because of longevity? Sillage? For me it depends on the scent. I would love to own some of the Guerlain pure parfums but some are 350-400$ for a 40ml or so bottle.

Yeah basically, I've not got much knowledge in this area (sillage is a new vocab word for me thanks) but just find that parfums are easier on the nose and last longer

@Nkwkfld:
I'm a Le Labo wearer too but went with the obvious option that everyone else seems to go for: Santal
mm. that might be next. but having a 5th bottle is a bit of an overkill. vanille and baie stands out for me the most..

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
One of my favorites ever.
Recently been wearing CDG Avignon- really nothing like it and such a perfect fall/winter scent.
-
Friend of mine suggested trying " Perfumes de Marly" Layton–--it is pretty intense!
Could be one of my favorites. -
It recently occurred to me that I’ve been wearing the same fragrance (Aqua di Gio) year round for over 20 years.
Nothing wrong with that, but I AM getting older, and just as there are clothes I don’t wear in public any longer I’ve decided to mix it up a little, and find something else for this fall/winter.
After some research and testing I’ve decided on Ombré Leather (parfum) from Tom Ford. I actually liked the edp a little better, but my wife finds it too peppery (she dislikes the smell of pepper), and I think I might end op preferring the subtlety of the parfum as well.
Being a stubborn bastard I think I’ll go back to Aqua di Gio come spring.

@anodyne If you're in the US, buy it from Costco. https://www.costco.com/.product.100427178.html?langId=-1&krypto=FwKRHJjSMdGOlYtXwHKZb%2Fd8TId54VVMmshQJGXXHyGjy4pUmrZFyTo2twW2hjBCyeOG7sybU3ZDe2rFw6zVesKDbJlZ9t0WiXs5Ruha%2F9q%2B622E%2FTTL3UizWcMWniBNYlN3tZRz8Jb%2BYTzSAEKm3P5cNaxEq1tGAON0L3SJ0aCd9L7j7cHxlhGfUYCCE83C0h8xK85oqL7%2BKrL5RN0n06gMFruWei8zMKx6HRUxwHqIF3xu1jU5fHjbsGD07bvsy71wG7H5sSvx21EfMks1hF%2Frspz%2FnuRYCiUivCRyptUvOT6o0JNzohRs97e%2F8jwP
Sometimes it goes on sale and can get to $250. It's real and I always buy it from there.
edit - it's out of stock, but it'll come back soon. Just keep checking.

This is the next thread I got to after reading about airplane flatuance in Random rants.

Just seeing this thread. I recommend Sfumato, which I've been wearing for a long time. They have a number of good fragrances at a decent price point. I would start with the sampler packs and go from there. They are a small company based in Detroit and have a cocktail / fragrance workshop in the house they work out of. https://sfumatofragrances.com/

@aetherist that is quite the collection! How do you make sure they don't spoil? I always assumed fragrances has a shelf life of just a few years before they degrade.

I have about 400+ fragrances of designer, niche, artisans, oils and attars in total and this is just a drawer next to my bed actually. Consist of my own brand’s products, some rnds or something that my dearest one gave to me.
And about your question, as someone that’s been collecting fragrances for almost 2 decades, there’s no such thing as expired, my brother. It’s all just about how you store and keep them good or not. I have lots of vintage fragrance from most of the big designer houses from 1960-1980 and they’re still fabulous. And for the true collector, the price and value have increased significantly.
