How many bottles of perfume should a woman own?

I just have one bottle.I use one scent all the time.People know me by that scent.It is like part of me.:)

I thought for every pair a shoes a woman owned she had a new bottle of prefume :-)

I have a whole bunch of bottles of perfume but that is just because I am joined with some survey sites and they sent me them to test and keep over the years. I wear them all. I change the fragrance up every so often if I get tired of one of the smells. I can make a bottle last me a long time too. I should never run out.

at last count it was more than 250.

i own more than 25. i like different fragrances daily:) just depends on my mood:)

Hi icyorchid, I have about 25 large sized bottle of perfumes/ eau de toilettes mostly from renowned perfume houses like Dior/ Guerlain/ Lancome. I also have about 15 vintage perfumes all of them containing the original juice though I don't wear these. I also have and ever growing number of sample vials 50+ at the moment to test and write reviews on. I also own about a 100 essential oils that I use for aromatherapy, in massage oils and home-made cosmetics and about 20 fragrance oils I make my own perfume blends with. Maybe the 'should' in your question was meant to bbe 'How many bottles do you own?' I don't think there is a rule to this or upper limit, it depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Perfume isn't just a very important accesory but also an aspect of our personality so one that should be carefully chosen and treasured. Thanks, lillybee

I have about ten - I think. You shouldn't really have too many because the perfume starts to deteriorate as soon as the bottle is opened so the more you have the less you use each one and the more chance there is of them degrading before you finish the bottle. I try not to buy a new one until an other one is finished At the moment I have two I use all the time - Jil Sander Sun and Euphoria by Calvin Klein.

Shouldn't this be in the philosophy section,along with "How long is a piece of string?"

I don't wear perfume at all. I'm sensitive to flavors or smells. Perfume is too strong for me. It makes me get headache. I think the slight flavor of soap or shampoo is enough. That's natural.

i wouldnt know personally but i can make an example of my mom , like she has soooo many bottles it doesnt make any sense at all , im talking about at least 50 by looking at all the bottles on the dresser ...maybe a good number would be about 10 ..

None! They're full of chemicals. I used to use cologne every day but stopped several years ago and that, along with getting rid of chemicals in cleaning/personal care products, has made a tremendous difference in my health. I've always had a very strong sense of smell, but now when someone is wearing the slightest bit of perfume, I can smell them a mile away!

I would think 2-3 would be plenty. I have about 5. But I have my favorite, which is white diamond. I also enjoy Hawiian Ginger body spray.

I have 2! I change them at two months because i want to taste new things! But i know a lot of people who collect perfumes! I collect bags by the way :)

Hi Icyorchid! Wow Your daughter has alot, but she should stay with a signature one so that way her boyfriend will always know its her and later on when or if they are no longer together, He will smell that smell and think of her..Good or bad depends on how they stay together or end. I used to have alot of perfumes depending on my moods or where i was but always went back to using one..Youth Dew...after awhile the perfumes get bad so don't fret if they smell different.Its just them losing their potency. Now i use essential oils and dab on pulse points..much cheaper and lasts longer.

believe it or not i don't have any but i do have the body spray. perfume is to expensive for me so i don't buy it.

I love to have plenty with different type but cant afford this time..I just have 1 and try to use it only on special occassion!!!

When I use to sell Avon a LOOONNNNGGG time ago, I use to have my entire dresser covered with perfume. LOL Now I keep 2 or 3. Chanel #5 for special occassions and Bath and Body works for every day. I'm like you I don't wear perfume in the summer. We usually spend the day at the pool so I can't see putting it on then.

I have about 2 bottles of everything. So more than 400 different types of perfume or body sprays. I love smelling good and I don't like wearing the same one day in and day out. I always change my smell but have always got good compliments on them.
