Sometimes I buy something without testing it out first or long enough, or for some reason I just begin to dislike something I originally liked.
I was in Miami and bought some vetiver scent that I loved, but then when I came back to Seattle, very different weather, for some reason it didn’t smell as good. It’s surprising how much can affect the scent of a cologne.
If you have a collection of cologne or perfume and you haven’t worn something in months, I suggesting listing it on Ebay, selling it, and trying to buy something new on there. There are a ton of pre-owned bottles on ebay with 3/4 of the bottle left that you can get at very good deals. As always you need to be careful, make sure the seller has a good rating, but I’ve almost never had problems.
The one issue is most places wont ship alcohol (Which is liquid and flammable and fragile, pretty much every question they ask you when shipping something gets checked) air, so you have to rely on ground shipping, so make sure you make note in a listing that you will not ship it overseas.
I have sold a very large portion of my collection over the years, and I have about 16 colognes, and I love all of them.
