Yes, you have shown restraint. Samples should not count. I have bought approx 40 samples this year. When I read blogs about perfums I get curious. Thank you for the wishes.

Never good for long term storage. The Delrae & the Rosines, however, are in the original bottles and so not happy about those. I do know just from smelling Rosine testers, many of which don't smell so great, that Rosines do not all keep well. And on the MPG -- in many cases I'd rather have the old formula, even if the top notes had spoiled, than the new one, wouldn't you? And last -- doubt I have a better nose than anyone, seriously.

And shocked they've written that on the Kors body cream -- will have to check that out in Sephora, that's pretty darned funny. HA — I did mean WOW.

Off the top of my head, I'd say I've gotten over 25 so far this year. I store them or swap them with friends. I voted 1 bottle (bought a dc'ed on ebay), but I get gratis often.

They were: Vierges et toreros by Etat Libre, Jasmin de Nuit by TDC, ShaalNur and Messe de Minuit by Etro, Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan and Eau Lente by Diptyque. Oh, and the other night I bought 2 more, but they were so cheap it almost doesn't count...Joop! pour femme and Desnuda by Ungaro, because I used to like them so much many years ago, before I became an addict. It will be interesting to see if they can still impress me now that I know so much more about this wonderful world that is perfume. I'm so glad we don't count minis and samples!

My MPG Soie Rouge is also on the razor edge. Even if I dont recognize the current sold one. (A small change in formulation during the 8 years ?? I dont know) I have also a TDC bergamot ... i need a good prayer ... You are certainly also a better nose than mine.
