  • Is it too early for a spring declutter?? Hey guys! So 2021 is a year of quality over quantity for me. I have decided to cull down my collection and that means if a few great ones come in, a few that I don't love as much have to go. Keep in mind as you watch that just because I'm letting these go doesn't mean I don't love them or still think they're amazing scents. I hope you enjoy!

    Good morning! ☀️ I hope everyone is having an amazing start to their day! :) 💗 I want to get a couple of things out of the way here so I don't have to explain myself throughout the comments section later.
    1. Getting rid of a perfume doesn't mean it's not great, it just means that I don't wear or can't wear it for some reason, or I have another I prefer.
    2. I am a human, not a robot. I am discovering and learning what my fragrance tastes are just as many of you are.
    3. I was reluctant to share this video, I filmed it almost 3 weeks ago and it's been sitting unlisted, because there are always a handful of people who take these de-clutter videos personally and I do not enjoy the negativity that these people share. But - I also want to always be transparent and honest with you all, and most people requested to see the video. So, I chose to post it. I will always be totally honest with you. I've also learned to become quite quick at recognizing when something no longer works in my life, and letting it go without guilt.
    4. I have had HUNDREDS of perfumes pass through my doors in the last year. Such is the nature of having a UA-cam channel, such is the nature of blind buying during a pandemic. If I kept all of them, I would be drowning in scents. My goal with everything in life is to always be curating, and to surround myself with only absolute favorite things. As new scents come, some old will go.
    5. To those who are my INCREDIBLE friends and viewers and the wonderful community I've found through fragrance, thank you so much for your love and our fun convos! I do this because it's a passion - I do this because I love sharing with you - I do this because I also enjoy watching your journeys through fragrance and home. Here we support and share with one another our fragrance journeys. This is a "good-vibes only" zone. 😊

      I still have over 60 fragrances that are equally amazing or better in my opinion that I actually love to wear so this declutter felt amazing:). Also, I want to clairify it’s not so much about goals as it is that I just don’t want to hold onto things I don’t actually use. The goal is not a number or to enforce rules upon myself; it’s to ensure I truly love wearing all of these fragrances and that they don’t sit and collect dust:) 😊

      There is no reason to hold onto something we just dont love, love, love. I am a mature woman and much can be said about the value of a clean, organized, uncluttered home. That is the home a quality man most wants to be in. It's all part of creating a well feathered nest and as much as a man will say, " I can sleep anywhere". , that is not true. The minute women turn them onto a sweet smelling home, warm with the smell of good food, and clean good quality sheets, they can not walk away from that. However at this point, I would never live with a man outside of marriage and give him all those blessings when he has not committed to me. Having said that, less is more, unless we are talking about money. In that case, more is more. I sont need anything, but I do enjoy this channel as she reminds me of myself with her commitment to order and her reasons for it. She knows herself

    Hello guys. I hope it's not too early for a "spring" declutter. I wasn't planning on posting this until March, but you asked for it!!! This year for me is all about culling down my perfume collection to keep only the ones I WILL WEAR & ENJOY. If not, they have to go. If I kept every beautiful fragrance I’d have hundreds of perfumes and that is not my goal.
    Please keep in mind - just because I am letting one go doesn't mean it's not an incredible fragrance. I will always be brutally honest with you guys about where I'm at and how I'm feeling, and I've also trained myself very well not to hold onto things once I realize they aren't a keeper.
    Also, I know what you're thinking - "If you let go of THESE, what on earth did you KEEP?!" Not to worry!! I have an updated perfume collection video coming your way soon!!! With that out of the way - enjoy! :)

Other fragrance enthusiasts must understand that this is part of the fragrance journey, and we do NOT need to hold on to every single perfume that we like.🥰

    Hahah you were right this entire video was like ???, I loved that you gave the reasons why and I cant see why you are decluttering some. Especially because your goal isnt to have a bunch of perfumes but to have your perfect collection these declutters makes a lot of sense. Sooo excited to see the perfume that you like more than ylang in gold. Will you talk about that perfume in a soon coming video?

  • @Ash_Lo

    That was one serious declutter and I'm honestly envious of you for being able to let some of them go even though you love the scents. I get what you mean. You can love how something smells but just not want to wear it. I have quite a few of those and let my mind trick me into thinking that maybe one day I'll love it on myself.

    • @thesimplechiclife

    • @findingfrugal2093
      @findingfrugal2093 3 роки тому

      I personally got into perfumes before I discovered lucky scent and the ability to get samples and I ended up with a number of those "love the scent but don't want to smell like it" perfumes. It's the oddest aspect of perfumes in my opinion, that there's smells you absolutely adore yet don't want as your personal scent. Live and learn I suppose 😊

    I understand why you were scared to post the video but honestly we will support everything you do! Your taste changes and matures and in order to explore more, you need to let some go. It’s been amazing to see your collection grow and change. And see your sub count grow so quickly!!! My recent discovery is that I like male’s fragrances like prada l’homme and Versace Eros. Spicebomb extreme is next!
    I’m just happy you didn’t get rid of Olympea. You were the reason I was introduced to it and now I can’t thank you enough because I love the whole line!! I remember when you blind bought good girl and she’s already come and gone. Or how the lavender in mon guerlain was too sharp for you. And now you find you like the mon guerlain intense the best out of the flankers and the line.

    • @thesimplechiclife
      @thesimplechiclife  3 роки тому +1

      yes it's true - our tastes grow and evolve and as we sniff new perfumes, it's only natural for us to find out that we don't love one as much as we once thought we did. Also, there are SO many smells I enjoy, but I don't love to wear them, only to sniff the bottles. Thank you for being so understanding through this journey!

My fickle nose reassess my perfume choices all the time while buying more 🙈🙈🙈. I think the biggest shock here is the Ani. . But if you don't enjoy wearing it, best to move on. 👌 xxx looking forward to seeing what this new Vanilla will be (that's replaced Ylang in Gold).

    Bronze Goddess is one I have always wanted to try but as you say it’s a beachy smell and it’s hard to get past that idea !!
    I’m shocked so far at some of the fragrances you are letting go off ,that being said I admire your dedication so much !!
    Wow Zadig and Voltair is a surprise to me and Kay Ali !!
    Ohh Terracotta is so gorgeous and I will never get rid of that one ,I wear it all the time ,but I do understand you wear a fragrance more for occasion, unlike me ,I wear what I’m in the mood for !!
    Alien Essence absolue is definitely a shocker ,but seriously,how many back up bottles do we need 🤷‍♀️
    Great job 👏

Beautiful scent but there are others I’d rather wear. I’m surprised you let go of musk. Musk and vanilla are the two from Kay Ali that are keepers for me.

    Definitely with you on this one! If it’s not being reached for and gathering dust, Doesn’t matter what it is, definitely letting go no matter how good, beautiful, impossible to find a fragrance is! I’m hoping to get my number down to 50-ish too, infact, whenever I want to add something to my collection, I feel the need to let go of something too so it doesn’t get out of hand.. even if the ones I have currently are all being used, I still feel the need to let go of something if I’m adding some in :)

Yeah some of these are complete shockers but I get it babe.

  • @leeyah87

    Hi Ilythia! Thank you for doing this perfume declutter video! I did some perfume decluttering last week and it feels so good! Like you said, it doesn’t mean I dislike the fragrances that I decluttered, but I’m not a collector and therefore I don’t feel the need to hang on to the ones that I don’t use. If it sits on my shelf for years collecting dust then why keep it? I don’t mind having samples and small decants of fragrances that I can sniff for reference and enjoyment, but I don’t want to have full size bottles unless I actually reach for them often. I’ve been interested in fragrances for over 20 years and had accumulated over 200 bottles, so now that I have decluttered over 100 bottles it feels so good! My goal is to get down to 10-20 full size bottles. Like you, some of the ones I decluttered shocked me, but I probably shouldn’t have purchased them in the first place, so it doesn’t bother me to get rid of them.
    Thank you again for making this video 💕 Here’s to quality over quantity! 🙌

    I loved this declutter! The truth is, you can’t know what perfume you’re really going to love and wear until you own it, the tiny samples don’t replicate that experience. I think it’s great that you follow your heart and instincts as a minimalist who knows what she loves! I recently decluttered a few that hurt (one very expensive, one was a gift in a gorgeous bottle). It takes guts but feels much better to have a collection that really suits you.
