Hobby or addiction?
I have always loved perfumes, but the cost of good perfume felt like a betrayal of my frugal DNA. Then I found Arabian perfumes and my world opened up to the possibility of collecting perfumes without going into bankruptcy. I am on a journey of learning about perfumes and adding to my personal collection. There is a wealth of information out there and it can be overwhelming for a novice. I am collecting all my information into this area and I want to make it open to anyone who is on the same journey of learning. As I learn and collect information. I will add it here. Check back often as it will be an evolving project.
Perfume Information
Basic information
This is where you can find general information on perfumery. Learn about notes, terminology and much more.
Affordable alternatives
This is where you can find my personal spreadsheet listing perfumes and their affordable alternatives. This is a work in progress where I am devoting time each week to completing this project. The goal is to compile information from multiple sources into one complete list. Another goal is to be able to search by the name of the original fragrance or the perfume house offering an alternative along with information on each affordable perfume.
