~*~ All my little bottles of love *~*

I am obsessed with perfume. I probably love perfume more than makeup....

. I have been collecting for about 5 years and have 64 bottles of perfume. It averages about 1 a month that a buy but that isn't true. I sometimes will buy 5 in a month and not get anything for along time. I have been given alot by my husband for my birthday and Christmas.

I have actually gotten through several bottles of my favourites... Gucci Rush and Matthew Williamson. I am on my 4th bottle of GR and almost my second of MW. I would say my third fav is Prada but I used all of it and still haven't replaced it. I am also missing Alexander McQueen that I broke off the handle when I slammed my dresser drawer when I got mad. I was so pissed off.

I keep all of my perfumes in my drawers in original boxes. I have heard that the smell goes if you keep the bottles in the sunlight. The bottles that aren't in boxes were given by my husband in box sets w/ lotion. I have had some of them as long as seven years... not many though. I have some that were only LE years ago or country exclusive. I love every single one of them... like my children.

In their home...

Out of the boxes... this took so long. I don't plan on doing my makeup for awhile... not until I have a spare 8 hours. LOL.

I usually just toss them but if I emply one of the ones that I really love the bottle and can't get another one... then I would keep it. My LEs... I am very careful with and don't use that much because for me to buy a perfume, I have to love it.

WOW that's a great collection you have! I have over 25 perfumes & sadly i only use 2 of them! My fave is Calvin Klein Eternity & the other one i use all the time is Lacoste (its a tall rectangular bottle). Everytime i smell it, it reminds me of when i first starting dating my boyfriend 2 1/2 years ago, always takes me back to that time since i first opened that bottle on our 2nd date! Amazing how a certain scent can trigger such wonderful memories!

I see you have Christian Dior 1947! That was an absolute fave of mine in highschool & i was so sad that it was LE. I have a tiny bit left & i'm scared to use it all up & i really need to get my hands on a bottle of it! Again, you have a great collection & its nice to see you take really good care of it!!!

Great collection! Sad about your bottle that broke...
My Marc Jacobs bottle broke on the top

I don't know what to do with it, it's barely 10% used
