HOW DO YOU STORE YOUR PERFUMES?

I will have several posts about storing fragrance with ideas and examples of how I do it. I am yet to figure out final structure for those but soon shortcuts to storing ideas will be linked below:

  • Storing perfume bottles

  • Storing perfume samples

  • Storing perfume decants

WHEN DID YOU START COLLECTING FRAGANCES?

I was always interested in perfumery and various scents. I can’t really pinpoint the exact time. My collection started growing significantly about 12 years ago.

HOW MANY FRAGRANCES ARE IN YOUR COLLECTION?

I try not to count my bottles but I think at this point I have about 300-400 different fragrances in my wardrobe. Those are full bottles. As for splits, decants and samples add another six hundred.

FAVORITE FRAGRANCES FOR SEASONS?

    • FAVORITE SCENTS FOR MEN?

  • Morning Chess by Vilhelm Parfumerie 

    • WHAT MAKES PERFUME LAST LONGER?

    If you have problems with longevity on your skin, stry applying scent on your clothes, it usually makes it last longer. If you prefer skin application, use unscented body lotion. Moisturizers tend to grab on to perfume better than bare skin. You can also apply fragrance into your hair. It works great to increase overall longevity

    FAVORITE FRAGRANCE COLOR?

    White. I am obsessed with white florals and white cedar in my scents.

    WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?

    I am a Rehabilitation Specialist by day and Perfumeaholic & Mom to a little toddler for the rest of my time. 

    DO YOU WORK WITH AFFILIATES AND SPONSORS?

    Yes, if I am offered that opportunity and the product is of interest to me. This doesn’t happen often because:

    • I refuse things that I have tried in the past and did not like.
    • I have no interest in reviewing clone perfumery.
    • Paid mass-media and social-media marketing.
    • I don’t do script reviews. 

    To sum up, the only sponsored content you will ever see is what I would personally buy myself.

    HOW TO CONTACT YOU FOR AFFILIATE/PARTNERSHIP PROPOSALS?

    Simply fill in the contact form on my contact page or e-mail me at perfumeaholic.instagram@outlook.com

    you can also contact me in DM’s on Instagram

    HOW DO I KNOW YOUR POST IS AFFILIATED?

    I always state partnership with the brand if it is branded content and you will see #gifted and #sponsored hashtags in my post where applicable.

    TOP 10 RECOMMENTADIONS OF ALL TIMES?

    I am currently working on several top 10 fragrances for specific scent notes. Few are published in my Instagram already. Feel free to head there and stay tuned for the newest posts coming on my blog. 

    FAVORITE UNISEX FRAGRANCES?

    I love a lot of unisex creations made by Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Jerome Epinette I mean nearly ALL of the releases created by these two noses are always fascinating me in one way or another 🙂 There are so many timeless pieces they create.

    WHERE DO YOU SHOP FOR FRAGRANCES?

    See the page USEFUL LINKS, there is a lot of information about what I buy and where.

    MOST OVERATED FRAGRANCE IN YOUR OPINION?

    Definitely BR540 by MFK. I think there is so much fuzz about it floating around for years, whilst the scent itself is not revolutionary at all. Although, I do like the Extract version a bit better than EDP. 

    MOST UNDERRATED FRAGRANCE IN YOUR OPINION?

    I adore what Salvador Dali created in it’s Eau de Dali fragrance. It is a true beauty and a gem in my collection. The more you wear it, the more you start to appreciate its beauty.

    ARE YOU ANOSMIC TO ANYTHING?

    Unfortunately yes. I have difficulties with violet scents. To me they smell like cat pee. 

    And idiots, I’m anosmic to idiots too.
