The Perfume Challenge

Do you have a box full of perfume vials and/or a vanity covered in perfume bottles? Are you the Goldilocks of perfume, just looking for the perfect signature scent? Do you want an opportunity to post daily about how your perfume of the day smells oaky and smoky with hints of blackberry and currant, like a cigar in a whisky barrel rolling through a Mediterranean orchard on a breezy summer morning?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above, or you just want to hop on board for the ride, join us for a 31 days of perfume challenge starting January 1st! Some of us from the 25 days of lipstick challenge wanted to continue the fun and exploration, and since many of us have so many perfume samples, we thought this challenge would be perfect. If you don't have 31 perfumes or hate everything that doesn't smell like Meyer lemons and fresh goat cream, that's fine--we're just aiming to use the neglected perfumes we have laying around and incorporate them into our perfume rotations.

 

And if you want more perfume vials, there's no better time than now to take a peek at Sephora's samples section.

 

Edit: Anyone can join in at anytime! We're here to support, live vicariously through, and encourage everyone in their olfactory adventures!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Oooooh I'm intrigued! I think I have enough perfumes/samples for this lol.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Yay! Awesome writeup, @txcatx!! At this point I can easily do 100 days of perfume lol. I won't make a perfume list before starting, but will wear something different everyday. This is going to be fun 😆

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

This will definitely be fun! I did recently go through and got rid of a bunch of sample perfumes. But I also definitely have more than enough for this challenge, lol.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Excited about another challenge!!! I have way too many perfumes Looking at my spreadsheet its in the mid 3 digits so I should have not problem picking 31.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Yay! People are interested!

 

I've been going through my stash finding scents I think I'll be able to tolerate (the ones in the box). This is great for tossing ones I'll never use.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Ha, I'm checking out your rejects and feeling like we may have the same taste in perfume.  I like sweet and rosey scents.  

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I only wish my five Chloe vials were Roses de Chloe instead. Unfortunately, I only have one vial of Roses de Chloe. 😢

 

I did set aside at least two vials of Chloe to try to finish next month. 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I think the piece about finding scents I'm able to tolerate is key @txcatx. I think this is part of my problem.  I'm super picky about scents so when I like something I tend to just go with it and apply it every single day.  This will be a good challenge for me to actually even smell all the vials in my stash.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Definitely, @kelloua! I hate overly floral scents and anything musky or amber, so I probably won't have 31 perfumes. My goal is just to use many of the vials I have next month. I keep thinking I'll save these vials for travel, but I end up packing rollerballs I've purchased.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I love it!!! ❤️

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I only have 6 fragrances, so I'd be a poor candidate! But I'll enjoy everybody's posts.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

YEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!  Too many vials!   Bring on the challenge!!!  image.jpeg

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

@heartsmyfaceHave you tried Si at all? It is in a similar class to Flowerbomb but with the cassis giving an interesting twist (granted no rose but still juicy floral).

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Not yet.  It sounds like it could be a winner though.  

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I will say they all look super pretty next to each other @heartsmyface

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Much nicer than a drawer full of vials on cards:).  The muji drawer is at full capacity so this challenge comes at a good time.  I can pass on whatever doesn't please me. 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Omg, someone else who appears to have as many Chloe vials as I do! I started going through my stash earlier and counted at least five Chloe vials.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I don't know why I keep them when I have the full sized which I rarely use.  

 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I am 100% down with this! I have sooo many perfume samples and DS dabbers.

 

Also 10 points to your house for that description, LOL. I want to smell the perfume that smells like Meyer lemons and fresh goat cream!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

@JazaChai I love that description too!  I've also read so many funky descriptions for scents that I wouldn't have been totally surprised if it were real. 😉

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

This may actually finally push me to dig into the never-ending stash.  Thanks!
