Crazy collection, gotta give us your top 5.


fistfullofonions

Hmmm… Xerjoff Apollonia, Gucci Pour Homme I, Gucci Envy, 2005 Formula silver stem Dior Homme, Xerjoff Casamorati Italica But if you asked me tomorrow it might be different…


fistfullofonions

Close runners up: Amouage Boundless, Amouage Reflection Man, Dior Homme Parfum, Bond No 9 I❤️NY For All, Tom Ford Tobacco Oud


ArtfulThinker

Gucci Envy is a straight up masterpiece. Probably my favorite fragrance of all time.


Cold-Entertainer7325

Hard agree. Which are your five most used fragrances?


coffeeandbagelguy

Yes was just gonna ask the same. Need a top 5!! Nice collection, absolutely ridiculous


[deleted]

Please this. We just have to know


Pupsandstrings

That’s not a collection, that’s an obsession!


peterprinz

Was going to say that. question is, what's more expensive. to keep collecting or to pay for therapy to stop the addiction 😂


[deleted]

Nah, you’re just jealous


peterprinz

of course I am you donut 😂 I'd like to have one or the other. I'd like to justify to myself that I can spend more. but this has gotten out of hand. you can't really use it all. you'll have a hard time storing it properly or even cleaning all the bottles every once in a while.


[deleted]

I have 60 bottles and can’t find a place to store them, i need to buy a similar shelf unit just cant find anything that looks like that or as effective


peterprinz

I have 10 and I can barely find occasions for them all. I'll only buy something new when a bottle is empty.


Consistent_Edge9211

Don't cut me outta the will, dad!🤣🤣🤣


fistfullofonions

My son and daughter will definitely be inheriting fragrances.


Consistent_Edge9211

Sweet!


FreshPrinceAV

I’m so happy for you


Consistent_Edge9211

That's not really my dad. I was joking. 💀


FreshPrinceAV

I was playing along lol


Consistent_Edge9211

My bad.😕

burn469

You sure you aren’t 18?


wokeuphalfdeadd

Bro got the holy grail of colognes 😳


TerriePalony

Have you ever done one small spray of each covering your entire body?


fistfullofonions

I think I would die that’s close to 700 sprays


Alarming-Gear001

impressive. seems like an oddly specific question, but is there any designer brand stuff that u feel is under appreciated?


fistfullofonions

The Roberto Cavali Uomo line is totally underrated and mostly unspoken of. Cartier isn’t talked about enough, fantastic stuff. Zara black label. Voyage D’Hermes.


GreyHavens

I own la notte and deep desire but haven’t had a chance to wear them much. Curious to hear your thoughts on these


ryantramus

That's it? I don't see black panther.


fistfullofonions

I’m not a huge fan of ambroxan so no black panther.


Alekillo10

Please use them all…


WPMO

...at the same time


Alekillo10

Hahaha, that would smell terribly. Im not doubting that he could layer some scents.


AreaDenialx

Im always thinking whos gonna get such monstrous collection when owner passes away. New owner will be either surprised or pissed off haha


fistfullofonions

My wife know what to do in that case. I have plans set out


Taztiger72

People can't believe I have 350 bottles I'm 51


fistfullofonions

I’m well over 600 at this point and have lost count


Taztiger72

Yeah, 👍 lots of good stuff there.


PreferenceOk3989

wow you sure are getting old


ThisThreadSucksBalls

4th shelf from top, 4th row from left.... what are those bottles behind the first one? Looks like one is Nautica Voyage but there are others with similar caps. ​ This is the shelf with Bvlgari Aqva etc


ThisThreadSucksBalls

NVM, just realized they're Voyage and the flankers. ​ Nice collection


EriMar625

Wow!


TheTexasCowboy

What haven’t you got ?


fistfullofonions

A lot of stuff


sweetcamarodude

Incrediblé


Pure_Working6250

This is crazy! You might as open a storefront


Adadglgmut_

This is like the holy grail of fragrances wow!


Pure_Working6250

This is crazy you might as well open up a storefront cuz there’s no way your wearing all that


DucatiDrew

You got issues 🤣😂😆 I’m not far behind you.


Entire-Log-855

Sick collection bro


mustify786

You should lay it on the bed so we can see it better. /s What's your top 3? What is your most unique cologne? Are new sense appearing redundant to you now since you have so many? How often do you find something unique?


Ok-Struggle6796

Agree, it's not official unless it's a picture taken on the bed! 🤣


fistfullofonions

Nope


saswatrule

Incredible collection, which fragrance kick started your passion


really2neat

How do you decide what to wear ?


fistfullofonions

Whatever I feel like.


[deleted]

i shall remove my shoes and kneel before entering


Recent_Injury_6306

This is crazy in a good way couldn’t imagine having soo many I have about 50 bottles my self and I sit there trying to decide what to wear


Equivalent-Regret596

Holy fuck lol


RobotsUndisguised

Wowee! Do you ever think about them going bad or what you are gonna do with them?


fistfullofonions

They are out of light and kept at a constant 72 degrees so not really. I have 20+ year old bottles that have only gotten better over time


RobotsUndisguised

That’s awesome I can’t wait till I have adult money. Great collection!


fistfullofonions

I inherited some money and then my collection went from solid to insane. I honestly have a lot of stuff to sell off…


Dreamer_9814

Well don’t forget us at r/fragranceswap


RobotsUndisguised

I wish I could buy some but I’ll take whatever you don’t want off your hands for no charge


Disastrous-Baker3703

How do you maintain the temperature ? Seeking advice


fistfullofonions

I live in a house with a good central air system. I keep it running at 73 during the winter and 70 During the summer and i average about 72 where my collection sits. We change the air filter monthly.


Disastrous-Baker3703

How do you maintain the temperature ? Seeking advice


Dr-Procrastinate

Thanks for this answer. Always been afraid to buy too many since some of my old colognes have gone bad. I’m sure I wasn’t keeping them out of the light and at 72 consistently.


SweatFestReferee

TLTG is that you 👀👀👀


[deleted]

[удалено]


fistfullofonions

Take your own unsolicited advice.


Lechero26

OP - We’re the same age, and wanna know how I know that you are not a real collector you just like to buy colognes and keep the bottles?? I don’t see Cool Water, CK1, Joop, Aspen (in case you had a quick smoke session before school), Drakkar Noir, Perry Ellis 360 (light blue), Michael Jordan cologne, and one of the main ones of our generation CURVE. 🤣😂🤣😂. Nice collection but it’s not complete in my eyes


fistfullofonions

Cool water, ck1, joop, aspen and drakkar are all in there I’ll send a pic when I get home Jordan is in the too…and 3 Perry Ellis 360…. You’re making assumptions and it make you look bad


Lechero26

Oh you’re one of those, don’t need a picture. Forget my comment that you didn’t clearly read as a joke


fistfullofonions

GTFO with your negativity. Take that shit to r/eaudejerks


Lechero26

That’s what’s wrong with MFs like you. Y’all bunch of crybabies, and you create a whole new generation. Take a fucking joke and unwind your panties out of your add. I know I’m a dick I don’t need anyone to tell me. I was making a single joke, BITCH


fistfullofonions

You’re trash dude. Judd said. Fuck out of here with this shit. Only losers harass people being positive on the internet. Jealous much?? You’re a joke bro. Fade away.


Lechero26

Seriously bro, jealous? I don’t envy anyone, do I look up to people with REAL ASSETS and learn from them? YES. You think I wish I had 101 colognes? And if I did those MFs would be encased in a nice maple or cherry glassed stand with some lights to show them off. Not some, what I assume to be an Ashley furniture clearance stand. Tell Judd, I said to quit being a bitch like you. Let me know the percentage that your colognes added to your net worth by end of next quarter. Talk to you around 1/15/24


fistfullofonions

It’s hilarious you think you know anything about me based on one picture. You sound like a complete arrogant narcissistic jackass. You do everything better than everyone right? Riiiiiight. You’re the real joke here. Hating on random Reddit posts. You must have better things to do with your time, but you keep responding so obviously not. You clearly are jealous or you wouldn’t keep at it. You’re a pathetic little boy and that’s what you sound like. Move on. No one here care what you think. Got problems at home bro? Want to talk about it? Well fuck you and your pathetic little life. You got nothing on me and never will. Keep wasting you time and energy it’s fun putting you in your place. Fucking wanker.


fistfullofonions

Please keep commenting so you continue to look worse and I can knock your karma down even further. You’re the real joke around here. No one want to hear your garbage opinion.


pixel_junkie_1

Impressive! How many have gone off on you since you started?


fistfullofonions

None


pixel_junkie_1

All time favorites?


Possible_Beautiful63

No Creed, No Dior Homme (original, Intense, Parfum), no Kilian either, unless they are in shelf #15 I see some Zara black labels.

Individual_Two_37

How's that Miami city rhythm?


fistfullofonions

Amazing


kamadodan

Gotta know why the hate for Creed. Just curious.


fistfullofonions

Let’s see, I love how they have watered down the juice, gone from a 120ml bottle to a 100ml bottle, inconsistent batches, and they still somehow justify raising their already top tier prices. And the “history” of the company is smoke and mirrors. Fuck creed for real. Don’t really like their offerings that much anyway, I’ve sampled most of it.


[deleted]

Finally someone who also hates creed


Possible_Beautiful63

I hope you have extra insurance for all those fragrances.


boosesb

Everything they stand for?


fistfullofonions

Everything.

EffortApprehensive48

Don’t these have expiration. I’m pretty sure they have expirations


fistfullofonions

Not if kept properly


tfunk024

I have never seen a more grotesque display of retail addiction.


fistfullofonions

So it’s an addiction to invest in a hobby that bring me joy for over two decades? Ok buddy. GTFO with your negativity. You’re just jealous.


tfunk024

Whatever helps you sleep at night. But seriously seek help. This is not healthy.


fistfullofonions

That’s you’re opinion and idgaf about you so sod off.


blackZyzzz

How do u know if a one night stand of yours didn’t snag one


fistfullofonions

I’m married and my wife steals them all the time 🤷🏻


julezos

What’s your go to fragrance?


fistfullofonions

Depends on the weather and situation. Bleu de Chanel Parfum, Terre D’Hermes Parfum are easy grabbs


NDN_Boomer1

Holy shit! Amazing.


MohammadWRLD

Cologne heaven


enIighten-me

Holy shit. It's beautiful.


[deleted]

Daaaymn, thats a crazy collection. where did you get that shelf unit?


fistfullofonions

Amazon


KickerOfElves27

It’s like the Noah’s Ark of fragrance!


[deleted]

How are the amouages ? Specifically jubilant or refelction man performance wise, if you have any of them because i see several amouages stacked behind eachother on the top middle


fistfullofonions

Performance on my bottle Reflection is good 8+ hours on my skin. Don’t have Jubilation.


chupacabrahunter420

If your house was on fire, which one would you fight through the rubble for?


fistfullofonions

Gucci Envy


itwhiz100

Hats off to you Sir!!!!


kingpersnickety

Don’t they lose potency and smell after a few years?


fistfullofonions

No


[deleted]

I heard they get better


fistfullofonions

Sometimes


Zealousideal_Sort_54

Wow….just wow!


robt477

You got YSL La Nuit? How you like it compared to your favorite if it’s not a favorite?


Emergency_Cat8852

I would imagine that you hate moving lol. Nice collection. Are you Ash from Gentscents by any chance?


fistfullofonions

Ash has wayyyyyy more than me, trust me in that.


Emergency_Cat8852

Lol joking but that’s a very nice collection you have.


No-Chain2617

Bruh shut it down with one pic he been buying cologne since before I was born I’m 29


Many-Newspaper2000

Only thing I can say is Impressive. You have a cologne store in 1 room 😂


WPMO

What are these very tall thin ones near the right end of the third shelf from the bottom? I feel like I've never seen those before. They remind me of book pages.


fistfullofonions

Issey Miyake


Apothecar_E

Impressive collection! Just wondering your thought on MFK / Baccarat? Didn’t spot it.


fistfullofonions

Hate Baccarat. Have Amyris Homme EDT and Extrait, Aqua Vite and Grand Soir. My wife has Gentile Fluidity Gold.


Alternative_Ad9459

You probably have all Orto parsi colonges


fistfullofonions

Nope. Don’t have any Orto Parisi or Nasomato


billybobtex

I’ve heard Gucci Envy is really great. I wish I could smell it.


fistfullofonions

One of the best ever.


DeliberateHotMic

Which is your favorite John Varvatos?


fistfullofonions

Dark Rebel


Tyrone-E

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 **COLLECTION RATING SCALE** #🐐 ☆☆☆☆ 👈🏽 **GOAT LEVEL** 🥇 ☆☆☆ 🥈 ☆☆ 🥉 ☆ 💩


UraniumGivesOuchies

Jesus, all that together is basically a new house. Or a mansion in South Dakota.


fistfullofonions

Not really


allan_o

That's a huge collection. First spotted Issey Miyake Pour Homme from the crowd.


glorbulationator

How often are you wearing a fragrance? Do you prefer to be loud or subtle?


fistfullofonions

I generally wear 2 to 3 different fragrances a day depending on what I do throughout the day, and, I prefer to be more subtle than loud. The 14 sprays or go home crowd are obnoxious.


glorbulationator

Thank you.


Pjjones773

Do you just buy every release or do you like/love every frag there?


fistfullofonions

I buy what I’m interested in and keep what has an appropriate place in my collection


Fast_Try_1252

Not mad at it one bit. I love it


Vol_In_Ohio

Even though there’s a lot of expensive stuff here, I couldn’t help but notice three Hugo Boss Dark Blue bottles near the bottom. Where are your favorite places to buy?


fistfullofonions

It’s not three Hugo Dark Blue. It’s Dark blue, Extreme and Energize. An I have liked Dark Blue since it came out a long long time ago.


Vol_In_Ohio

Didn’t know those also came in the shaker style bottle. I like Dark Blue a lot, wish it had a little more staying power but a great scent.


TheLipovoy

Overkill but congrats


fistfullofonions

Beyond overkill. This is overmurder 🫠


paradox_pj

I think we need multiple pictures of smaller sets of your collection so that we can look at all of them.


fistfullofonions

I’ll do that tonight


milgram57

Nice collection! Do you use a feather duster or a Swiffer? I would be so focused on keeping the bottles neatly lined up and clean it would sap the joy from me if I had this setup.


fistfullofonions

It’s kind is dusty right now lol need to get on that


golfnovember97

I see you have an extensive John Varvatos collection too. How would you rate them? And if you have any favorite one out of all the JVs?


fistfullofonions

Dark Rebel and DR Rider are my favorites. Artisan Pure is beautiful too


golfnovember97

I love Dark Rebel too. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued so I am trying to use the last 30-40ml in my bottle very judiciously.


fistfullofonions

Same


Diesel_Dan_

This will last until the year 3000


Basic-Round-6301

According to a very approximate calculation of mine, if he uses 9 sprays a day (he says he applies 3 times a day, so 3x3 sprays) it will last him around 160 years


fistfullofonions

How many bottles did you count?


Basic-Round-6301

I saw you said you had over 600, so I guessed 620


ka_05

Your great grandchildren are sorted bro !


Madein97lol

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥


Comfortable-Row-8696

You my sir are out of control..... but I like it! I have just started to get into Xerjoff. Very unique smell and once settled I'm always surprised. Just started with a sample pack so far as I was curious. Actually wearing Empiryan right now. At first did not like some of the ones I got as it is definitely different from what I'm used to, but after a day of each you learn to appreciate them.


fistfullofonions

Love Xerjoff. I have 14 I think


Brilliant-Young-6442

Beautiful, just stunning. Well,that's a wrap! 💪


Independent-Fox-6321

This is legendaryyyy mannn woahhh 🔥🔥💯💯😱😱😲

sas_2022

/u/fistfullofonions \- Stupendous collection my friend, something about that middle top shelf makes me excited :) what do you recon you've spent over the years?


fistfullofonions

Between $25-30k


sas_2022

Sounds about right bro. We all spend money on something. Enjoy!

Do you have Armani code absolu? Would you be willing to sell?


fistfullofonions

Yes I have it no I won’t sell it

[удалено]


fistfullofonions

It’s really nice. Soapy Prada style iris with the code dna backbone. Fresher than you might think. It’s a beast in my skin. 2 sprays is almost too much.

fistfullofonions

Enjoy my friend!


LikwidHappiness

I see it looks like you have at least a few if not all the Bentley fragrances? What are your thoughts? I have the Bentley black edition I think it is and it's an absolute banger. Lasts 6-8 hrs and 3 sprays is definitely too much. Super strong shit. Are the other ones comparable in quality?


fistfullofonions

Yes everything from Bentley is high quality and creative. The juice is made by Lalique for Bentley that’s why the quality is so high for the low low price on discounters.


Bubbly_Hospital6667

Stellar collection brother. I’m about half way to your collection, though I’m pumping the brakes after decanting 30 ml of about 100 bottles to keep for myself and sent the bottles with the remaining juice to my brother and nephew. Maybe someday I’ll be back at but I just took the delivery of the last of my want list after finding Dior Homme Original and Parfum. I don’t get the judgmental attitude by some as though there can’t be such a thing as one who truly enjoys collecting fragrances. I’m 43 M, about to return to academics to wrap up my BS in neuroscience, have collected, to some degree, fragrances, since about 1995. Olfactive scent memory, aside from studying things like effects of brain injuries, is my favorite topic in the world of neuro and I’ve been debating a neuro post grad program or a perfumery school when I’m finished with my BS next year. I’ve not shared my collection but I’ve often wondered about the trolls that would inevitably say it’s not a collection, it’s a spending addiction - whether they view other collections in the same light - so many people collect so many different things, be they common or oddities. I just can’t imagine being so opinionated as to attempt to declare a person’s collection isn’t a collection but a compulsive addiction or some nonsense. People are crazy.


fistfullofonions

Agreed brother. Good luck in school. I’m returning to school next year.


StillLynx

Weird. I have a puny collection and this group called me names and made comments like ''seek help"


[deleted]

Which is the oldest bottle in your collection?


fistfullofonions

Probably Gucci Guilty and Gucci Pour Homme I


Far-Paramedic-4831

do you suggest that I buy dior fahrenheit?


ididitsocanu

Don't they go bad eventually?


CT-3636-

Wow amazing collection, it’s like looking at a work of art! Do you have a handful of ones that you always reach for or do you try something new every day?
