Okay, so I’m obsessed with vintage perfumes But, do they actually expire? Like, am I spritzing on nostalgia or just a scent ghost?

Yes! Perfumes can change over time. Oxidation can alter the top notes, but some base notes deepen. It’s like a fine wine #Chemistry101

Had a '90s Chanel No.5 moment and it was more like ‘Chanel No-thank-you’ But someone told me they can smell even better when aged?

Depends on storage. Kept my grandma’s 80s Dior in a cool dark place – smells divine, like she’s still dancing in her shoulder pads

LOL tried spraying my mom’s old Estée Lauder, and my crush legit asked if I rolled in mothballs

Vintage scents are like history lessons in a bottle. If they expire, it’s more like evolving into another chapter of scent life

Not expired, just ‘character development’. A 1950s Guerlain is my ‘liquid courage’. It’s aged better than my sense of humor

Has anyone done a ‘scent party’ where you sniff and swap vintage perfumes? I wanna host one and call it ‘Time Travel for Noses’

Real talk, how do you know if your vintage is legit and not just some eBay seller with a printer and dreams?

Check out basenotes.net for a scent’s backstory and user reviews. It’s like IMDb for perfumes but with fewer sequels

The best thing about expired scents? That surprise note that comes out of nowhere like a plot twist. Every day is a mystery

I’ve been collecting since high school, and tbh the older ones are more about aesthetics now. But that’s just my shelf flex

Got a vintage bottle from my late aunt and it’s like she’s with me. So, expired or not, some scents just hit different
