An Overview of My Fragrance Collection

September 21, 2019 by Moumous |

 Hi Everyone,

I love perfumes. So when I randomly asked if it would be of interest to share my collection with you and I had a few positive feedback so I did not hesitate a bit. Here we are with a fragrance blog post but let us be honest: Fragrance is the finishing touch of one outfit.

I am a moody fragrance lover: I may not like you today but I may find myself in love with you another day and vise-versa. I love how a fragrance can bring so many good memories. I have been collecting perfumes for over 10 years now and had hundreds of them. While some I only had/ purchased once; others I just can’t leave without.  My palate has changed considerably in 10 years went from girly to more mature. I mostly collect designer and niche fragrances as I found celebrity fragrances to be weak and sometimes smell cheap to me.

What do I like in a fragrance: Good longevity, great sillage – Power house in one word. I am mostly a gourmand fragrance lover with a little mix of everything – am I making sense? If I had to summarize, I would say I am in between floral & oriental. 

Before we get to my fragrance collections and a few picks I would like to share with you,  let’s review how the fragrance mavens categorized the scents/perfumes based on their compositions:

The Perfume wheel

Getting a little deeper, here’s an idea of the notes per fragrances type. 

So with that said, breaking down my love for Floral & Oriental, I love:  sweet & white florals, fruity florals, gourmand and  a little spicy, a little powdery, and citrusy. My favorites notes are: vanilla, sweet spices, tonka bean, patchouli, Iris, white florals. I also like musk when done properly. That doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate a nice clean scent or any other type of fragrance especially if they have that sweet undertone that I love. Am I making any sense? With that said, here’s some snap shot of my fragrance collection.  I do have quite a few and I was not able to gather some of them for the shout. Please visit my fragrantica profile, if you are interested in seeing my complete collection (click here).

How I actually store them (away from the sunlight). I also have a few shelves where I keep the ones that can’t fit on that drawer chest).

If you wonder, I have 106 fragrances in total: Bath&BodyWorks, VictoriaSecret body sprays not included. I used to get 3.4oz bottles but now 1.oz is enough, I decided to only purchase large bottles if I am really in love with a scent. Don’t laugh- Not funny! Since I am not able to share 100+  pictures today  I will break it down into a few categories featuring mostly what I have been using lately.

Mother’s Day Reflection 💐 Today, I’m just Mother’s Day Reflection 💐

Today, I’m just sitting in gratitude for the blessing of experiencing motherhood. I may not be the perfect mom, but I’ve somehow been trusted with the greatest kids — and that’s more than enough.
They keep surprising me, making me proud, and showing me love in ways that melt my heart.

Last night, Aby told me that her friends always say she’s lucky to have a cool mom. I smiled and told her, “You make it so easy for me.” She looked at me and said, “I’m just grateful for the greatest mom.”

Who’s cutting onions? 😭💕

To every mom out there — whether by blood, by choice, or by love — Happy Mother’s Day. You’re doing more than you think, and you are appreciated more than you know. 💛
