Hi guys! I’ve been getting a few requests as to whether I would sell some of these or not. If you’re based in the UK let me know - just send me a DM on Instagram and we can take it from there 😊

What I love about you Josephine is that you really don't mind being honest! We don't find these genuine opinions about fragrances elsewhere anymore. And it's really important for us (customers) to hear the voice of someone who's not afraid of saying the truth. Thank you for that! You're the best!

This is an important part of the journey, thank you so much for sharing this with us! All of us enthusiasts need to remind ourselves that our passion can't turn into irrational spending and uncontrollable hoarding. Selling is just as important as buying.

I recently gave about 20 perfumes to a woman's shelter ❤ it is hard to get rid of fragrances!

The navitus line got hit hard in this declutter!

Wow...50 bottles to decluttered. Now I wonder how many bottles you have in your collection. Josephine, you are really truly my favorite reviewer. Most honest and genuine reviews and of course, the most gorgeous! 😍

This is very brave when having enough bottles for 5 lifetimes just isn’t enough. Glad to see you doing this.

I usually don't watch decluttering videos. They are actually annoying to me. But I couldn't resist to you 🤣 I appreciate what you said in the beginning: if you don't wear them it's better someone else could enjoy them. This "recycling" reassurance is a relief. 💕😅

I can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner. You are by far my favorite perfume channel!

I love you so much, you're such a breath of fresh air in this community. You actually know scents and you are very geniune at the same time. So glad to have found you x

"A little bit old fashioned"... "90s" - oof! I mean, true at this point I guess, but still... oof! 😂 Are we sure the '90s weren't 10 years ago? Glad to see a longer video again!

Man, someone isn’t getting a navitus line.

I think this may be the first honest review of Navitus Parfums. It’s quite refreshing.

I don't buy blind buys anymore, it is a hit or miss, and some perfumes that are talked about on KZfaq are absolutely horrible, so I have to go to the store and smell the perfume myself before I purchase. Thanks for sharing.

Love this video! Why don't you consider to make you "best 50" as well? 😁

Joop Homme will always have a place in my heart and my shelf. I was a bit surprised though when you liked it in one of your last videos.

You're getting rid of more fragrances than I own, you must have quite the collection, good video as always.

I would love to see other fragrance reviewers do this too. I've had an expensive month myself, so I shan't be bidding, but it's great to see these bottles being passed around instead of gathering dust. Much love.

Armani Code Pour Femme - the sexiest female scent ever created (for me)! 🤤 I even got 2 bottles in my collection (vintage bottle with flowers & last style release, like it was in the video) 😅 And also Hugo Boss Alive EDT(!) is sooo beautiful on the blotter, I’ve never smelled this on skin, but on paper it’s just wonderful✨ Good video! I’m on my way to do the same with my collection, there’s a lot of “sleeping” bottles :)

Jus De Rose. The only channel I don't skip the through the commercials for.

I get rid of Fragrances by using them. I spray them beast mode. If I can gift them I do but I actually like making myself use them. I notice it helps me curb my buying. Your situation is different because I am sure you get bottles as well so it get out of hand easy. I also have been buying decants instead of full bottles. That way I get variety without too many bottles. It's hard though since some bottles are so darn pretty. 😭😭😭

Josephine, I’m THRILLED to have just found you! Your videos are lovely & so informative. I was researching Le Labo & came across your Byredo reviews, ran to the store and feel that I have found my brand! Thank you so much! I’m bananas in love with Pulp & am heading back for Bal d’Afrique. You’re gorgeous & so approachable. Thank you!!

It’s great to declutter. My collection is 50 I don’t buy new unless I sell, swap or use up a fragrance first. I have space for 50 and half are warm weather and half cold. Most are every day wear with a few night out exceptions. This is how I prevent myself going to mad. 🤣

If I got rid of 50, I'd have nothing. I capped my collection at 50, so now I finish one off before I buy a new one. I'm nearing a milestone birthday so I am sampling for something fabulous!!! The only fragrances I was surprised you were getting rid of were Guimauve de Noel and Bois Farine. I bought Bois Farine early in my fragrance journey (2014) and I still love it. I'd be curious for you to do a video on completely indulgent splurge fragrances for someone like myself who wants something for that milestone birthday. I tried a few Roja Dove, Fragrance Du Bois and Amouage, but nothing yet. Thanks.

I have one deep built in closet shelf for fragrance storage that I don't surpass. If I want new stuff, I gotta get rid of old stuff I don't use or have outgrown. As a result, my collection is pretty solid, for my taste anyway. I highly recommend a fixed storage capacity.

Always good to clean house every now and then. Fragrances do have a variable shelf life, so there is no way for a person to use a large collection effectively. I have quite a few sample vials but only around ten bottles that I rotate.

Please do giveaways for all those 50 fragrances 😘 I’ll be glad to receive one 😂

Dam! she really axed Navitus Parfums :D

I am trying to work on a declutter, I love the bottles on many of them though!

Can you show us what you did decide to keep? I would love to see an update collection ❤️

Love to see your partner collection video if possible and video on the current state of your collection after the purge.

Could you do a video on perfumes that have been changed and some of the logistics and science behind why some places decide to change their formulas? My favorite perfume in highschool was miss cherie by dior but a few years after purchasing it when I would test it in stores the smell was different than the version I had and I didn't like it anymore :/ I read somewhere that it was because they changed the formulation but I couldn't understand why they would make it worse? Haha although "worse" is a bit subjective. Love your channel!

It's such a good feeling to declutter the once that does not work and is not love. Have been doing a big declutter myself lately, and the once that I kept and love impresses me even more afterwards!

Hi Josephine!! Loved the video, it’s so necessary to get rid of some scents from time to time... otherwise they just accumulate on the shelves and I also get the impression that it’s impossible to use them all. And now also you have a bit more space for new ones, which is always exciting, haha! Have a great weekend guapa! ❤️ 😘

I would hear you talk for hours... such a beautiful accent

I like this video, it's different and makes you think about do i really want to keep everything in my collection just because it's there. I've given away a few of my fragrances to my son when i realized they were too similar or i just didn't like them anymore. Nothing wrong with outgrowing some things in your collection. Plus only so much room :)

Im actually making a list of perfumes to try based off of your declutter list 🤭. Fun video!

Couldn't agree more with your opening statement, Josephine. These fragrances out of your rotation, might as well find some other user who will -somehow reactivate its charm, a concept that goes beyond than just freeing up space. I was still wondering if you stock up on any potentially discontinued favorites... that is -do you keep backups among your collection? Thanks for bringing up quality videos 👍 - Ricardo

I like this video and seems closer in style to your earlier videos which I enjoyed very much. The conversational style seems more natural with less "acting." Thanks for sharing with us your great content and knowledge..

Omg please do a giveaway of those fragances❤️❤️❤️❤️

sometimes one wore a really good fragrance so much times that he or she starts saying that it is average .Therefore keep best only for best occasions ,NOT FOR SAVING MILLI LITRES BUT FOR SAVING THAT SPECIAL FRAGRANCE TO GIVE THE SAME EFFECT AS THAT DAY WE WORE IT THE FIRST TIME . if u know what i mean. 😊

I also want to get rid of my Mon Guerlain, just doesnt work for me. Declutter is a great idea, every now and then I give away some old frags which have been sitting on the shelf for a long time (or i use them as bathroom air fresheners) 😂

I can't help thinking that's a LOT less bottle shoulders to dust 😅 Orrrrr is that just a me thing? 🤔 Great Video! 👌☺️

very stoked to hear you appreciate nirvana bourbon! i love it but sometimes feel hesitant to wear it anymore since it seemed a little played out. new subscriber and love your style!

Love your videos! Lovely by SJP reminds me of Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDP (in the pink bottle). Just thought I’d mention that for anyone who hasn’t tried it.

Could use some tips on how to decliner and move the fragrances.

Wxactly JOOP i Manifesto boring overly sweet...I am glad you mentioned Alive can turn really very sweet on skin. No on you tube mentioned it so I ordered then read into many reviews on Fragrantica to find out it is like apple pie sweet. Luckily the order didn't come through ;)

Your accent! 😍❤️ I could listen to you talk all day everyday. 😊

I love Bronze Goddess!

Love the concept & honesty of this video. But ouch for Navitus Parfums 😵💀 I’ll gladly take those off your hands. If you like? 👍🏼

I love the Tom Ford velvet orchid 🤗🥰

I started doing this about two weeks ago with my collection and so this is perfect timing.

You sound so genuine

Dear Josephine, Another stellar video you are killing it. Thanks a million

Body chemistry is definitely a consideration in regards to parfum, SJPs Stash I'm trying to appreciate and Lalique pour homme is ok but not a wow fragrance. Sweet fragrances i just cannot get into either it becomes annoying after an hour or so.

Thank you for your gorgeousness and passion for fragrance!!

I mean... if you wanna throw lipstick fever this way I wouldn’t protest 😂❤️ love your videos. You’re so informative!

I love lalique pour homme it's very old school and masculine indeed

Joop! Homme is a guilty pleasure fragrance. There's no reason to have it at all. It's extremely synthetic and there's much better sweet stuff out there. Regardless, I still enjoy a spray of it every once in a while. It takes me back to the 90's. Even if for a brief period.

Same here for Mon Guerlain. I bought it twice and sold it twice.

I cannot believe you are parting with guimauve de Noel!!!! I bought it but haven’t opened it yet. Saving it for Mother’s Day. I hope I like it. Love sintra. Prefer it over love don’t be shy. Has more character. Is guimauve de Noel sweeter than sintra? Is the dry down only sweet??

I know this video is old news but I find it funny that the 2 JHAG perfumes you parted with are two of my favorites =D For Musc Invisible I pair it with Mmmm... and it reminds me of the 90s for some reason. I'm not into sweet/sugary scents, but this combo is

Gotta do what you gotta do. 🤷🏾‍♂️ It happens. When you're a collector, I'm sure most of us have many fragrances that we don't wear. At least you took the time to explain why, and that it was only your preference/decision to rid your space of the rarely (if not ever) reach for.

Couldn't focus, You're so pretty! Nice video. ❤️

I have a ridiculous collection.... i threw out a few of them tho (due to age) and there's still too many. Using this video for inspo.

Finally a tour de marathon video! Really enjoyed this excellent video. I bought a couple of your recommended perfumes Reflection Man, Fleur de Peau & Grand Soir. Now I want buy the iconic Portrait of a Lady. What are your thoughts?

Well Josephine I cannot believe anyone would ever not want to keep Joop Homme 😱 what is the world coming too 🤣. No I admire you for being able to cull so many and be so honest about them

Viva la Juicy Gold smells so good and my 16yo daughter likes it. Blue cacao and agave is my first and only fragrance from Jo Malone, I’ve had it for years now and I use it very sparingly. I like it, but I’m not sure when to wear it really, too nice for work and I prefer other perfumes when I go out😉

The Lalique is on my buy list

please do a video on your favourite notes .Very few reviewers have done that .Maybe a top 10 fav. fragrance notes vid. I will be waiting . By the way do you like cardamom scent ?

Before you declutter H24, can we get one last "Ash Van Cat"?

Velvet Orchid didn’t work on me either 😔

Loved seeing this- thanks for sharing with us

Damn that's a lot of perfumes I can't believe Halfeti Leather is going 😳 I can't deal with any lush fragrances tbh I much prefer their body sprays bath bombs etc! Great video you could talk about pans and spoons and I'd still watch because you have a way with words 😀😉❤

I love that line from almusbah, they are famous here in Saudi Arabia for cheaper dubes of designer fragrances.

Your reviews are the best!

Saw the thumbnail and thought 'NOOOO not the Emanuel Ungaro 😱" and when I watched the video this is the only scent you didn't give a reason for getting rid of it, and were actually quite positive about it. So now I'm really curious why it doesn't fit in your collection anymore

Serious question Josephine. I always wonder if I should be throwing perfume bottles in black or brown bin. What's better for environment??? How do you do it?

OMG, this is THAT day! a lot of amazing perfums, too bad i don´t leave in UK!

hi Rose, you kept on saying this scent 'turns way too sweet on my skin' but surely most of the spray will land on your clothes ?

Love love a declutter video 🤗

Hi Josephine. Love the channel, great content as always!!! I have a question: Some alternatives to "Good Girl"? Thanks!

Neroli lover here. Curious to know your other neroli fragrances similar to Gimauve de Noel that are making you decide to part ways with it.

Great declutter. Just by the look of it I can tell your taste in scent is right on the money at least in my eyes. This must have taken you a while to sit through because so many similiar notes and combos are involved

I am curious about your accent. It is a mix of American English accent with a good dose of the French accent thrown in. How does that work? 😊

Same feeling on h24 lol, interesting fougère but still a fougère

Just love your videos.

This is very brave to say good bye to a "bad buy" 👍

The Philosophy one that you were looking for is it the original Amazing Grace perfume by Philosophy?

good video ... i also sold and got rid of lots of fragrances ... for instance i sold whole Encre Noire line and Lalique pour homme and Equus .. they´re good but it´s enough to try them few times, then they stopped interest me, so no reason to have them on the shelf

Glad to hear a little bit about Salt Caramel - very underrated gourmand fragrance that I looove to smell on others. My skin has such an unfortunate reaction with it though - I end up smelling EXACTLY like cigarette ash. Disappointing for me, but I still get to enjoy it on others - wouldn't mind if everyone else I know had a bottle!

What is the best way to declutter? How to sell?

Now you have to show us which ones you kept ☺️

Shes so elegant and classy man

I will get rid of my Tea for two also. I like it on the blotter, smells like an ashtray on my skin 😆 But I really enjoy Guimauve de Noël 🥰

You should review Zoologist perfumes

I really love the new intro

Dunhill Icon doesn’t sit well with me, either.

Hi Josephine, I truly love ur fragrances video and the way you explain is well detailed. May I ask what is the most famous perfumes shop in Switzerland? I heard that Osswald and Spitzenhaus is the most famous for perfumes shop in Switzerland..

Yeah ‘Lovely’ just does not move me either, for all the reasons you said
