...I would avoid putting bottles in check-in baggage due to possible temperature changes. Else I wouldn't worry too much. I prefer taking decants with me because they take less space.

...And is there any noticeable effect if the break? Is it worth it?

...I should do but I haven't so far.

...I don't see the connection between deinfluencing and slow-buy. Deinfluencing may be just a way to stand out as not so many do it. Also a tactic to enhance credibility and authority. Nobody will suspect that a de- influencer is "bought".

...You may try Azurēe as well. I find it less green though. And it is a hairy chest kind of perfume although it is marketed to women.

...Sme11yCatI love and proudly wear Tom Ford Black Orchid. I’m a guy and this is primarily marketed toward women.It's a good unisex scent imo and the parfum leans even more masculine than the EdP. Good choice!

...Don't you have any indications of what kind of scent profile she likes? It is near to impossible to recommend something based on zero information. out of the blue I say N°5 Eau Première,a modernized version of the classic.

...DieNaseI strongly disliked the classic neroli EdC as I associated it with my mum wearing freshly applied 4711 while I was getting sick on the back-seat of the car as a kid. I'm finally getting over it and I've come to appreciate the classic Colonia by AdP. I like its slightly bitter, herbal touch and the slightest sweetness rounding off the colonia DNA. I have a decant and might get a bottle one day. But I actually haven't tried many other colonias.A bottle of Colonia Eau de Cologne is mine now, looking forward to the summer!
