From time to time, a few people ask me why anyone would collect perfume nowadays. But I think the real question they're asking is different: does it actually make sense to collect perfumes today? People collect all sorts of things -trading cards, stickers, vintage video games- so why should collecting perfume be any stranger?
When I hear questions like these, I try to take a step back and look at the world of perfumery with some detachment: what are perfumes today compared to those of the past? And is there any real reason they might become collectible items -or even, as some suggest- an investment?
