I’d love to get decants of two Chanel Les Exclusifs (Coromandel and No. 22). I just can’t bring myself to spend $450 on one bottle of perfume. Other than that, I own more than 50 full-size bottles of perfume, and I don’t really have any gaps in my collection.

WOW, Seraphine you are a true perfume lover. I don’t know why I haven’t really been into scents but I am sure that my pocket book appreciates that I have stayed away from delving too deeply into scents. I have purchased a lot of them but for my daughter. She has expensive taste when it comes to perfume. I can be happy with a drugstore perfume if it smells nice. Hence, my journey to find Ben Hur!

Had to go look it up. It sounds lovely. Was it a L’Occitane scent? I see one by L’Occitane that is billed as a pillow spray and is on Ebay for sale. Just curious as I am going to Denver in 10 days and there is a L’Occitane store at the Cherry Creek Mall. My daughter and I have already made the decision to live there the weekend of the concert. Free standing Chanel Boutique, Hermes, Gucci, Sephora, Nordstrom’s, Macy’s etcetera. I may never leave.

I don’t think I am really longing for a particular perfume or even certain notes. Because I am not a real connoisseur of perfume notes, I generally just smell around and then buy what grabs my attention. I know that I like Tom Ford Lost Cherry although it is bordering on too sweet for me. I also want to try the Izzy Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pure Nectar and L’Eau d’Issey Pivoine. I have not smelled either one and never see them in stores so not sure I want to take a chance ordering them and then hating them. I feel like the original Izzy Miyake and Joy are with Vanille Intense are my most used and loved scents. I don’t actually follow seasons or trends in wearing perfume, I just wear what I like. I use to wear CK Eternity every single day for about 3 years and sort of burnt myself out on it but always got a ton of compliments when I wore it. It also had the added benefit of being a scent that my sister hated and always claimed to be allergic to so I had an incentive to wear it, LOL! She recently purchased a small bottle of it and brought it with her when she visited this summer. I tried to tell her not to buy me gifts, in a nice way of course. She wants to buy her way back into my graces but it isn’t going to work. I can’t support anyone who supports racism.

I have a great collection of 107 scents and am thinking on getting Chanel 1957. I donā€™t like much of Chanel and Tom Ford either but may try Tobacco Vanille in the future and maybe a house of oud. Pretty much done for the most part. See my collection on fragrantica if youā€™d like.

While I have TF Tobacco Vanille, it isn’t my favorite. It doesn’t smell “tobaccoey” enough for me. I love making up words. I find that the ratio of tobacco to vanille is off for me but you may find it perfect. I love the combination of the two scents but would prefer something a little more balanced. If I want to smell of just vanille I would use a different and better vanille scent.
