how long does 5ml perfume last

Thank you so much for breaking this down. YATAGAN for instance! And we have to try them all!!!! yr storage methods really work! Well, I don't know how it used to be, as I have just discovered it, but it smells pretty all right to me and I have knowingly bought a tester with the top missing! Ha, indeed! sure, after the 2 year mark your perfume will be wearable, but you may notice it smelling a little different. though compared to you guys Ive basically got none. When I think, Hmmmm. . Every once in awhile I think about this topic, and look at all the bottles I own, and all the ridiculous amount of samples I have, and KNOW that more than I will ever need, but I still get more, not often, but I do add to what I own. Posted by Kevin on 19 August 2008 180 Comments. There are MUCH worse addictions and this one appeals to our senses rather harmlessly. Your partner is right we all have our weaknesses, so let this be yours! What if it came back to you with more than it started with!!! but there are so many mainstreams, amour, paloma Picasso, and addict that it seems silly to get the expensive ones. Great article! WOW! I divided my perfumes into 50 ml and 100 ml groups. It sounds lovely in the reviews and different from Amoureuse, which didn't agree with me I think this one will have to go on the list. The times that I've repurchased, I've regretted it cause I rarely use up the second bottle. I have some older relatives who are simply not bothered, but most of the 35 to 55 year olds in my circle can be cracked open a bit, and I have managed to turn my loyalist brother into a raging maniac like myself. I want to know names of perfumes which can last for more than three months when used onced. When I'm travelling in France or Italy, I find that I smell fragrance on others much more than Canada and the US, so whoever says Americans really lay it on thick compared to more refined and sophisticated Euros has had a different experience from mine. They are surprisingly open minded once you tell them you have a collection of about 300 they might like to dip into. If I get as far as emptying a bottle, I rarely repurchase. Lots of things affect the number of sprays you get from a bottle: the size of the plastic tube in the spray bottle, the fine or forceful mist you get from a nozzle, etc. That is such a great idea! What if you would leave another bottle in that very same place.. Help! This article is all about me too! Whoa, now I'm curious: which perfume did you love enough to wear for six months straight? My near anosmic partner who eschews all but soap is known as a retrosexual, LOL! Im more interested in how long I might expect my fragrances to last in terms of qualitybefore they turn. It was helpful to have you provide your spray-per-bottle numbers. This is hard to say because I don't think most of us use the same scent every day! Oh, Kevin I love the image of you sneaking out of a public toilet having left a bottle of something lovely by the hand towels! We all know there are 365 days in a year, so a 50 ml bottle of fragrance will provide a person (who wears that fragrance every day and sprays once) TWO years worth of perfume. Later, I saw that he'd had his privileges revoked and was no longer selling; clearly I wasn't the only one who smelled a rat! Part of the problem is the rushed/stressed experience of in-store testing (spraying and praying), or so they tell me. I wish we North Americans would use more!! It's not easy, believe me. Thank you so much. I'm only 18 and already in just 12 months I have purchased 15 perfumes, sometimes I'd buy two at once. So, I have a great collection with ladies and men fragrances, old as brand new , kashaya: I'm too lazy for eBay! Being relatively new to my scent fanaticism, a confession: I began putting my full bottles in a drawer of my dresser out of embarrassment, to hide them, having no idea they were better off in the dark and cool, anyway. I say we should always let the fragrance prevail. Now I want to do this, but Im so new to perfume collecting that I dont have much to share yet. I guess to equate to the spray volume Kevin is working with, I need to use a 1ml vial up in 14.7 days. Perfume people are an interesting group that psychologists should study as to why some wear a signature and some use only fragrances in one category. can't help to leave a note though i'm very late. Why, it may even save marriages, though that may be stretching the analogy a little far. Anyone allergic to oak moss? PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. Have there been NO special-enough occasions since 2002?? There's barely a dent in it and the usage line is a bit above the label and below the "ridge" where the cap lies when screwed on. Unfortunately most of the vintage perfumes I DO find on shelves of antique shops/antique malls have been displayed in WINDOWS! I LOVE the SAs that fill the sample bottle all the way up to the top. Sometimes a description of a fragrance can open the mind or relieve a nagging question about what a perfume smells likeand result in ANOTHER purchase, even of a scent we initially were confused by or didn't like! I ddn't *really* want to know this, but at least I have a chance of outliving them. Then there are those who are not loyal to a category and perhaps go with what's appropriate for the time of day, a season, occasion or outfit. How many dabs one gets out of the bottle? She has stunning green eyes and is a complete sweetie. divinemama: see note above about old fridges. I sometimes look back at the abandoned bottle as I flee the scene and feel a twinge of regret and sadness and hope it will find a good home with someone who loves it. I am too frightened to do the math on my collection tonight. divinemama: ahmy Sephora folks only fill the vials half full..ALWAYS! Sometimes, I wear other perfumes (with samples) but I dont need to buy them because I know it will be a waste of money. I did my math on the basis of how much is currently in each bottle and it looks like Ive currently got about 19,780 ml. When I first did these calculations, I spent several days in a semi-depressed state. Nam: of course we're not lost souls! HA! Worth ever decant, too, since I've gotten some much-coveted stunners in exchange. 25 years 5 weeks 1 day 9 hours and 36 minutes. Question: If I tell a perfume loyalist they are unadventurous they may well tell me I'm confused and unsure of myself. True, I probably won't drain every bottle. P.S. Time will tell. I prefer elegant fragrances. platinum15: many SAs give the look in that circumstance to imply one is cheap, and not WISE, to buy only 50 or 30 ml. Decants are not really a bargain when you figure their price against buying a full bottle of fragrance, but a decant is a good option if you really like a perfume but know in your heart it will not be a long-term relationship; perfume miniatures are great and I buy them all the time. ha ha ha ha! I keep essential oils in glass b/c it breaks down plastic. Some people wear the same and only shade of lipstick forever. I then further divided the perfumes into usage categories perfumes I spray 3 times per wearing, perfumes I spray 5 times, and perfumes I spray 10 times per wearing (I rarely use less than three sprays or more than 10 per use). This article just screamed the truth, I finally HAD to hear it. Sorry you could not make it for the citrus extravaganza last month! Period! Niche are large and pricey and though I like to buy often I prefer spending smaller amounts. No need to be stingy. But, as your boyfriend says, if it makes you happy It does! OIls do fine, but I keep them in the fridge (cool & dark) too, just in case. L'eau Par Kenzo. Your partner has sage advice. But, fyi, don't let it get to room temp and then re-refrigerate it. Oh, yes. Also,I had to add, I have a beautiful chocolate pit ball called Bonnie. Am curious to check it out for I like Bulgari Femme! I spray legs, abdomen, chest, hair, throat, wrists, sometimes even my back. Hi Kevin! Is it vintage, i.e., is there a year on the bottle somewhere? The average number of sprays in a 50 ml bottle is 735 (double that figure for a 100 ml bottle of fragrance). HA! This article forced me to sit down and do some math. Mandatory sprayage! omgosh !! Language gets me to the counter, and then from there it's all about the fragrance, if I like it or not. And I still need to smell other smells. Here's a question: Which is more persuasive, language or fragrance? May I just say, Kevin, that your partner is the cat's pajamas! Good thing I love it so much (as close to a signature as I'm ever going to get). . Strange seeming that only 12 months ago perfume meant nothing to me. Is that new? Oh, that? It's very interesting but even more for me it is eyes opening.. My favorites that are non-LE I go through reasonably quickly. I'm similar to you, Kevin, with the fickle love one scent today and another one tomorrow. I am also in the process of giving away all my duplicate samples, eg ones I have mistakenly ordered twice (! i should look into this interesting cultural difference! (Always keep a sample for you to sniff later if you get nostalgic!) Hm.. i remember having only one perfume and 50 ml lasted me 2 months, I sprayed 3-4 times per day. Oh yes, this is very intriguiging. Cheering thought. Indeed. Most likely purchasing that in 100ml too, only because it's cheaper to buy that way. You could give out fragrances you no longer love as door prizes or party favours! and others want to explore different experieces. Did you see the article re Macy's where they are actually considering goint BIGGER? I also calculated that Ive got 2.76 gallons of fragrance which just made me laugh at its absurdity. Youll be surprised at how many 1 ml samples are far, far less than that amount (especially decanted samples sold by perfume stores). I used to love young fragrances with citrus, marine notes but I realized that I lost myself. that's awesome that you've managed to get fragrances to last so long. Who makes up these things??? So you leave your traces with a bottle here and there. don't ask). True, the occasional person could fell a smalll army at twenty paces, but most people don't use enough. Are you serious? believe me, after spraying those bottles empty my index finger hurt and I had a cramp betwixt that finger and my thumb. This article is most timely, as I was lying in bed the other day (perfumed up) and pondering this very question with a sense of rising panic. I can tell you that I used a bit over half a 10ml bottle of Solstice Scents' Sycamore chai in about a year's time. I think thats a marvelous idea! and two refills (two of my perfumes are refillable) but I honestly dont know how you can have like 50bottles Ill never own that many at any one time. Why ruin my esctasy by facing silly ol realityat least for today. Tabac Blond was borderline but the drydown won the day, and most of the Aouds take some grinning and bearing it initially! Quite a harmless habit (but not inexpensive) in the great scheme of things. All Curious to learn what are those three essential fragrances? knew you spared her (him?) In fact, it smells really great! My brother, though fullly aware of my perfume compulsion, bought me a 50ml bottle of Private Collection for my birthday, which is generous on his part, but 30 ml would have done just fine. 1ml ~ 20 drops- if I use 1-2 drops of the same perfume every day, anywhere from 2-3 months. I had no idea how many sprays I'd get with one bottle. *picturing Kevin standing at his entry door all entering accept a spray of perfumeHIS choice*. I would *so* attend that party! Others go to a new place each year and realize they may not like it as much as the little town in Thailand they visited years ago.
