Combining Decants

My decant collection seems to have stopped multiplying for the most part. Which is a good thing because I was running out of containers to put them in. For many years, I was buying decants like it was going out of style. Now since that funds are not what they used to be, the decants have stopped reproducing. Getting travel sprays have been on the up but I am not buying nowhere near as much perfume as I used to. There are perfumes that I would love to buy but my bank account says no and I do have enough perfume and I do need to give it a rest.

 A few days ago, I started to go through all of my decants. I don't completely know how I managed to get multiple decants of some of my perfumes but I did. Some multiples I do know why. The problem with the decants that I have is evaporation. While I was looking at all of the decants, I was looking on which ones that I could combine. Three decants of Diorella, combined, 2 decants of Tigress Musk, combined them too and so on. I didn't go mixing all whilly nilly here but it was enjoyable to go and get rid of some of those decants and create some space. It was just extra space that I am not going to be filling up anytime soon but it just felt good to create some space. While I was going through that stuff, I managed to finish off a decant of Amouage Memoir.

There is more good news, I have made some progress with my candles as well. I have used up a few candles and have sorted through my candles. The ones that I don't want have been weeded out and I am debating on either donating them or giving some for gifts. I haven't quite figured it out yet. As we are halfway through summer, Bath and Body Works is starting to roll out their fall stuff. Thus far, the only thing that is interesting to me is the Apple Weather candle since they haven't released their Honeycrisp Apple candle. I have enough of the Apple Weather and Honeycrisp Apple but I always want more of them. But if I purchase more candles, I will just undo whatever progress I have made.
