How many bottles of perfume do you own?

I've just been sorting mine out and it's rather a lot. 78 bottles. I will say (in my poor defence!) that my job means I'm sent quite a bit and well, I've clearly bought quite a lot over the years. There's vintage bottles in there too and discontinued perfumes and remarkably - none have gone off

How about you?

About 8.

bonfireheart · 05/05/2021 19:04

About 5, all presents.

QueenPaw · 05/05/2021 19:06

About 40 full bottles, I'm not counting the samples!

Tartyflette · 05/05/2021 19:09

Far too many. Several dozen, at least. I sold quite a few on eBay a few months ago and made a few hundred quid, though.

None.

  1. Working on getting it down to one.

None

MirandaMarple · 05/05/2021 19:11

One.

Inmypjsagain · 05/05/2021 19:11

16, impressed you have place to store 78!

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 05/05/2021 19:11

None. I only wear unscented deodorant.

Onlinedilema · 05/05/2021 19:13

About 6.

5 now, I think. Two Penhaligons, two Thierry Mugler and a Chanel. I'm very picky with perfume.

Chickydoo · 05/05/2021 19:14

5

ElMacchiato · 05/05/2021 19:16

About 7 , 2 of them are small sample sizes, but they still seem to last me forever.

Did have a lot more but have a fair few that I didn't like on ebay.

Deadringer · 05/05/2021 19:19

Two, which is one too many. I like to only have one on the go at a time.

SpeckledyHen · 05/05/2021 19:22

5 .
2 ‘every day’
2 ‘going out’ daytime
1 ‘going out ‘ evening

Sportsnight · 05/05/2021 19:24

Wow. I thought I had too much and I’m trying to get it down. I have 3. I love perfume, so if I let myself go wild I’d have 78.

osbertthesyrianhamster · 05/05/2021 19:28

A rather embarrassing number. I love perfume! Some of them are dupes for every day use, some are ones like J-Lo and I love 4711 in summer.

Miseryisabutterfly · 05/05/2021 19:30

7, but I only use 2 of them.

LazyDoll · 05/05/2021 19:30
  1. But only because one is almost empty...
osbertthesyrianhamster · 05/05/2021 19:30

In really hot weather I soak cheap face flannels in 4711 cologne and water and roll them up and put them in snack sized resuable plastic zip bags and put then in the fridge. The kids love to grab one to wipe on their faces.

EvilOnion · 05/05/2021 19:32
  1. I only like one scent though and it's been discontinued so soon to be 0 Sad
Cherrycee · 05/05/2021 19:33

I'm scared to count...

I'd say at least 15 full size and about 10 minis/samples.

In my defence, quite a few of them were gifts.

ImInStealthMode · 05/05/2021 19:34

2 at present. A cheap one I got in duty free for everyday and my favourite much more expensive one for evenings.

Neither have seen much action in the past year Hmm
