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

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
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. ;-)
