They have a ridiculously low price on 70ml of Grand Soir. After 20% off it's $169, and I really want the fragrance, so I've jumped into the Parfums vortex. Even if it takes 2 months, it's worth it!

I've been stuck at home for the last 4 days with the winter storm, and I've been using the time to do some much-needed chores and cleaning around the house. One of those chores was to update the shelving for my collection. It's grown beyond the closet shelves, so I got a little bookshelf to move some into my bedroom. The bedroom shelf has now become my display with the perfumes that I actually use and enjoy the most, and the closet is now the archive with fragrances that get less use. Most of these I will eventually give away, sell, or donate in an effort to make space. The goal is to have the bedroom shelf be the limiting factor. If it doesn't go there, then I don't need it. I have yet to purchase anything beyond a decant for 2026, but I am getting a bunch of new stuff from the press agency to photograph and review. So far, it's mostly women's perfumes like Idole Peach 'N Rose, or it's Middle Eastern brands that I've never seen before. Those items have gotten out of control, and I am struggling to figure out what to do with them. Anyway, here's my update shelving, minus the press items, which are in boxes in my guest closet.
