Happy 2026 BOS (Collection Update)

Like many of us here, my fragrance journey didn’t start with a plan, it started with curiosity, excitement, and a whole lot of bottles. Over time, that curiosity turned into learning, experimenting, and figuring out what this hobby truly means to me. I started 2025 with 475 bottles.

A lot of designers, a lot of Middle Eastern dupes. Tons of variety, good quality… but honestly, a lot.

I made the decision to declutter. I started by selling most of the Middle Eastern bottles, letting go of easy-to-move designers, and decanting the harder-to-sell ones. With that money, I shifted my focus toward quality over quantity, chasing better bottles, hunting discontinued gems, and diving deeper into niche houses.

I was truly inspired by many of our brothers here in BOS:

and many others, who pushed me to stay curious, explore more, and slow down the journey.

Today, December 31st, I’m under 250 bottles. Still a lot, but much more intentional. My goal for 2026 is to continue decluttering and keep only the fragrances that awe me every time I smell them.

Have an amazing 2026, brothers and sisters. I hope 2025 treated you well. Let’s keep smelling great and, most importantly, enjoying the fragrance journey.
