Get it? Sensitivity? Scent-sitivity? Ha ha! Ha...! <ahem> But seriously... A couple years ago I got into fragrances. I would venture out on the weekends to the stores and get my nose on samples. What I couldn't find at stores, I'd order samples online. Over time, I found fragrances I enjoyed, and my collection grew. After some use, I would come to know what fragrances were best for the office, or for a date, or for a weekend trip. I'd learn which fragrances would need a couple sprays, and which ones needed more. I enjoyed them, and I would even get compliments from time to time. Here's my problem: At some point, my olfactory system seems to have gone on strike. Even the lightest fragrances are starting to choke me out. Versace Eau Fraiche? I enjoyed this for summer or the gym. But now one drop is enough to make me gag. Mont Blanc Explorer--three sprays was fine for going to the office. Now, only one spray, I find myself coughing when I get into my car. PDM Greenly--One of my favorites. Two sprays and I'm good. But today is one spray on my chest, and I feel it overpowering my senses. I have many others I could list, but this should give you a general idea. Some of my fragrances I really enjoyed now just make me gag. I am thinking about selling some of my bottles to a couple friends. It's not a nose blindness. It's more like one spray suddenly feeling like twenty. Anyone else experience this? Is my nose just broken? I'm not sure if I'm looking for anything specific from this post. It's probably more of a vent than anything. Thank you for reading.

Good morning guys. This is my SOTD. Classic, fresh, affordable and perfect for Fall and Winter. Have great day.

Should you shake your fragrance bottles to blend then or is it not necessary? I wondered if lots of materials used to make scents may not stay mixed well overtime. Thoughts?

Simple, easy grab. Perfect for gym. Under appreciated, I think. Great for close quarters. Smell your best today, gents. Happy Friday.

I didn't realize how new I am to this until I started reading the posts and going through the classroom courses. How and where do you find "niche" fragrances? I would be afraid to buy online because I'm very particular about what i like. I'm still learning the different scent notes and how to define them.
