One of my first fragrances that I bought even before I got really into them is about to be empty. I feel weird just throwing the bottle away but I also don’t know that I need to keep it around in the interest of space. Other than buying a new fragrance to replace it, what advice do you guys have for what to do with your empty bottles?

I always thought Naxos would be my first Xerjoff pick up but when i saw this at a great price i said “nuh-uh”. So here it is. Stuffs stronger in the bottle than the sample. And luckily it suits my skin chem. I love how they put effort into little things and details. Love when a company puts effort into things like this. To me its a sign of appreciation and valuing their customers. Unlike some other brands (cough cough Bond no.9 cough). Usually i chuck boxes in the bin but ill be keeping this.

Fragrances aren’t necessary. Multiple millions have lived in human history without wearing a single one. Fragrances are at best accoutrements. But to collectors and aficionados, they are pleasant and desirable accoutrements. Within those qualifications, we can speak of Ride or Die fragrances — the last we’d part with. I’ve pared my list to 25, ordered alphabetically. Perhaps you have your own 25 Ride or Die list.
