Trying to get some organization going. I bought these tiered shelves off Etsy. I haven’t organized them yet. But I’m thinking about 1 shelf for colder months and 1 shelf for warmer months. I’d love to hear your thoughts please.

I have over 100 frags, look at my niche, I know more than you… (this isn’t directed at anyone) but I ask all of you gentleman THIS!!! Do you have THESE?!?!?

Match #39 features two standout dark, rich fragrances that have me looking forward to cooler weather: Boss Bottled Absolu versus Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club. Boss Bottled Absolu (2024, created by Annick Ménardo and Suzy Le Helley) comes out of the bottle bold and powerful, but quickly settles into a terrific blend of leather, patchouli, smoky incense, myrrh, and woods. It's dark, commanding, and has outstanding performance without remaining overwhelming throughout the wear. Jazz Club (2013, created by Aliénor Massenet) is equally distinctive but takes a completely different route. Tobacco, rum, vanilla, pink pepper, and woods create that wonderfully boozy, smoky atmosphere its name promises. Like the Boss, the opening makes a statement before the drydown becomes smoother and more inviting. These are both staying in my collection, and I'm ready for fall to arrive so I can start wearing them regularly again. But side by side, Boss Bottled Absolu has a little more depth and keeps pulling my attention back to it. Boss Bottled Absolu takes the victory and advances to the quarterfinals, while Jazz Club drops into the second-chance bracket.

Probably the most missed discontinued fragrance, I was lucky enough to land a bottle through Rescented recently. If I had to pick just one for summer, it would be this one.

So my sister and her best friend arrived to visit Colorado here in Thursday. I just dropped them off at the airport. We did all of the required sight seeing within a couple of hours from Denver and it was a blast. My sister knows about my fragrance addiction all too well and when her friend asked her about what perfumes to bring, she said don't bring any because she was in for a treat. When she saw my display, she literally lost her shit.. While I do have some fragrances that are definitely unisex, I only have maybe 3 that are feminine leaning. So I was quite interested in what they'd like and want to wear. Well let me tell you, each of them happily went through them and picked out an SOTD & SOTE for all 5 days. It was very cool to see what they liked for them and what they liked on a man. My sister fell in love with Haltane and wants to buy it for her husband. Her friend and her both loved Carlisle on me. Petit Matin was her favorite for her though. My sister really loved Malachite, which is a god of fire dupe. All in all, it was a great time and we spent hours with rest strips trying out at least 30% of my collection. They definitely enjoyed wearing some fragrances that lean a bit more masculine too. Good times for sure!
