Donatella Versace and her perfume cabinets

2024 is over, but not quite forgotten, not just yet. Donatella Versace, Our Lady of Scented Excess,1 has plenty on her mind but she wants to help you move into 2025 with a clean slate and a clean conscience. Do confess what you bought in the 4th quarter (October, November and December) of 2024; Donatella always forgives.

My purchases…

….were a last minute save. After buying nothing in the first 3 quarters, I picked up two small decants in the last splitmeet: Imaginary Authors Dipped in Chocolate and Tauer Perfumes Heraud, $42. I am counting that as one bottle.

As always, report your purchases in the comments if you dare! And as always, we don’t include samples or gifts, and you can count miniatures, decants and bottle-splits howsoever you like (I usually count them as half bottles). Samples don’t generally count at all, even though some of us spend considerable sums obtaining them.

1. Why does Donatella host (against her will, mind you) the damage polls? There is no real reason other than the picture of her perfume collection, which shows that she indulges regularly at the perfume counter. The image, by the way, is originally from Allure magazine and appears here courtesy of Blogdorf Goodman.
