Comments on: Convenient Half-Truths & Your “Old” Perfume http://scentzilla.com/2007/01/14/convenient-half-truths-your-old-perfume/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

I have a bottle of Halston that's 28 years old, about a teaspoon left. Also have a bottle of Paul Sebastian that's 24 years old, 3/4 full. Far as I can tell they smell fine. Got about 10 bottles of different kinds that are around 7 years old. Same is true of men’s fragrances. I have a bottle of Halston that’s 28 years old, about a teaspoon left.

I am wondering if there is any way to get the floaties out? I always kept it in the box in a dresser drawer (cool room), so I don't know why it has floaties, but would like to get rid of them if possible. Thanks for your your wonderful article!

I was looking at Mary Kay Premonition on eBay. I had a relative who used to sell it so I sent her a note to check with her upline. Her contact said it had been discontinued 6-8 years ago, and my cousin should tell me to "be careful" about buying it online because it is "probably rancid!" I actually have a bottle that is almost empty that was in a box of stuff I bought at an auction 2 years ago. It looks wonderful and smells good. I have allergies and this is the first kind I've ever worn that neither makes me sneeze nor gives me a headache. I love it. However, while I have $unlimited$/ounce taste, I have an $inexpensive$/ounce pocketbook. A 1.75oz bottle Premonition cologne/EdT is selling on eBay for $65-100. LOL THANKS AGAIN. The post and the comments are wonderful. Thank you so much for this information. I was looking at Mary Kay Premonition on eBay.

If possible, I'd try to wait just a bit until the really high temperatures of summer die down. I mean, it's not for sure that the heat would ruin them or anything, but if possible, I'd try to hold off for a month or two if it's really sweltering where you're located?

Could this heat ruin the fragrance in shipping? Thanks! I wanted to purchase fragrance online, but I noticed since it’s July and I live in the South the packages I receive are really hot.

If the juice has lost its lustre, you certainly shouldn't feel guilty about tossing it. And if it's smelling harsh to you overall, well... you're not likely to wear it anyhow if it's harsh, so this is a good an excuse as any to treat yourself to a new bottle :) (I love Coco, too, btw!)

I've had it for over a year now, but I bought it from eBay, so there's no telling how old it really is... I've been keeping it in the top drawer of my dresser, but the top notes are starting to go (a little soapy smelling, if that makes sense), and the overall scent is becoming a little harsh. Does that mean it's becoming rancid? I do have a floaty or two, as well... I really hate to replace it, but I will, if I must. I have a bottle of Coco - my signature and ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.
