Three bottles are enough

Most wardrobes of scent are too long. Bottles get bought for a mood that lasts a week, then sit while a familiar one is reached for every morning.

Three is a workable list. One for the day, something clean enough to forget you are wearing it. One for after dark, with a little more weight. And one you already know — an inspiration of a signature, worn because it fits rather than because it is new.

The edit on this site is built that way. A shorter list, composed again, meant to be finished rather than collected.
