International pricing disclaimer;

Unfortunately, IWILL NOT\'lower the cost\' of the order to accommodate the extra expenses that come with the luxury of international shopping outside the USA.

Due to the luxury tier consensual nature of my inventory;

International shipping, import duties, taxes, and other misc. international charges are theinternational buyer’s responsibility.These are all additional charges that come with all international sales that I do not personally collect on.

Priority Mail Internationalis the GOLD STANDARD & will be theonlyshipping used at my shop due speedy travel, frequent tracking scans, & its reliable delivery.Zerolost international packages to date.This service is the fastest, & the most reliable global shipping service from my postal carrier includingconstant tracking scans and delivery in as little as 3 weeks. There is a drastic difference and you are getting what you pay for with this pricier international shipping. If international shipping is not pricier in nature on high ticket items - thenthat\'swhen you should be concerned.

By purchasing with me internationally you also acknowledge that me offering international shipment on expensive, fragile, irreplaceable, & hazardous alcohol based perfumery items is a risk and challenge I happily chose to take on to reach a global audience. This decision alone on my part is already quite generous - The vast majority of perfumery shops decline to invest into that extra difficulty.

Despite how expensive my listings may seem on top of international charges; my listings prices are studied and fairly priced for theirexactselling value prior to listing. I sell for that exact sell value and don’t inflate it for room to negotiate.

Please read this disclaimer, and personally weigh out the pro’s and con’s of an international shipment with me instead of expecting me to lower the fee’s for you.

The death of Oakmoss:

By far one of the most controversialand damaging IFRA regulations was the ban/limitations in natural Oakmoss. This popular ingredient is in near every legendary cologne; Davidoff Cool Water (Also reformulated),Aqua Di Gio (Also reformulated)Versace Eros (Also reformulated). Many are filled with weaker synthetics. Since Oakmoss rests in the base and has fixative effects fragrances also don\'t perform as well without it.

2022 Lilial ban:

And if you thought your top / mid notes were safe. You\'re wrong. In 2021 The Scientific committeeon consumer safety (SCCS) & the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) banned the note of lilial due to its reaction to sensitive skin (That\'sit?).

They simply stated \"It can sometimes act as an allergen.\" SOMETIMES?

Lilial was a common note in modern perfumery. Lilial being a synthetic aromatic soapy aldehyde; it gave the self titled signature Versace Pour Homme it\'s sweet yet refreshing intense floral green odor.

I don\'t understand this obsession with making sure the skin doesn\'t react to materials. Practically every face mask on the market \'Reacts\' to your skin and in the long run - improves it\'s appearance.

Doesn\'t skin strength train like muscles do?

Fragrance shelf life scam:

Reformulations are one thing, it\'s something that just can\'t be avoided.

One of the biggest gaslighting scams on the otherhand that can easily be avoided is the myth fragrances naturally \'Expire/go bad\' due to time alone.

Fragrances are not your local produce guys, they are a balanced chemist composition of naturals and fragrant chemical aromas full of preservatives.

If that alone wasn\'t enough; that recipe is then preserved in a percentage average of 80% ALCOHOL. resulting in \'maybe\' 10% natural ingredients to think 10% natural ingredients are up against and a threat against 90% chemical aromas, preservatives, and alcohol is a HUGE stretch.

Alcohol based fragrances should be compared to 50-100 year old bottles of preserved and cherished wine. Like wine, fragrances in fact get better with age from the process of maceration; when naturals soak in chemicals for extended periods of time making the juice richer and full of character. Fragrances are not fresh hand made cosmetics with no preservatives - quite the opposite.

Fragrances were even recovered from the 1912 Titanic wreck with no sign of expiring.

A perfumer perished in the wreck resulting in a sachet left behind on the BOTTOM of the ocean for over 100 years.

This sachet contained mini corked bottles of fragrant oils and perfumery.In an artifact examination room upon recovery, amongst the death, muck, tragedy, and solemnsorrow of decomposing materials the perfumery was opened up and by surprisebrought the room to LIFE again, aromas of beautiful fruits, florals, resins, and woods sourced from so long ago.

The experience was so powerful to the scientist- it made a grown man cry.

Fragrances can be mishandled, left in sunlight, heat, and other neglectful extremes...but most certainly don\'t go bad from just the passing of time.

I guess any myth works for these fragrance industries that want you coming in to buy their \'fresh\' bottles.

The modern day scent:

I say all that to say;modern day fragrances as a whole - are complete and utter trash...

whether that be a brand new composed scent or a reformulation of a classic.

The modern recipe:

Fake citrusy candy-like tops to lock you in, aromatic-mids to give you masculinity and bare minimal classic nostalgia, then a base gob-smacked with scratchy ambroxan / synthetic molecules completed with nauseating sweetness to ultimately gaslight you so don\'t notice how \'fake\' the entire composition smells.

It\'s truly depressing what they release nowadays.

You might as well wear your household cleaner.

Hi there,

My name is Nathan.

I Am a seasonedPrivate Investigatorin the dept. ofRevenue Protectionfor my city of Milwaukee for over adecade withwith a college degree inDesign/ Sales.

I Am alife-longfragrance hobbyist/collector,& apassionateseller.I am your1 and only sellerat guardianofthefragrances. Iwill answer all your questions without having to reach out to ‘the factory’.If you know these type of sellers – then you know.

I am confident in my abilities to provide to you what many fragrance sellers cannot.(Which is standing fully behind my products, and KNOWING what I am selling).

I do the deep investigative, and hands on back-office work so you don’t haveto. Thisis why in the actual name of my business I sellmyself!(The guardian of the Fragrances) as a standing commitment tointegrity. Asymbol of protection and guardianship before I even introduce the listingsthemselves.

Likethe field of legalrepresentation, Ifeel sellingmyselfand providing lifelong trust is the ultimate selling point for lasting success.

This is especially true in a niche business like vintage fragrances where fraud detection and studying/collecting fragrances isnecessary. Ihave very high standards for what I post in my vintage fragrance shop.In fact, that was my vision when I launched my store; to offer reliable selections for collectors & enthusiasts.

Everything I list has an expectationas ifit were to be added to my ownpersonalcollection.(And in most cases - that\'s where I pull my listings directly from).

Essentially, when you come to myshop, Youare purchasing formulas already inspected by a revenue protectionexpert, andcollected by a highly selective, and criticalcollector. Youvirtually can’t get any better than that if you want a vintage formulation of a cherishedfragrance.

Despiteeverything in my listings being my own personal research, experiences, and in my own words…I’ve seenmanyother sellers on copy my entire listing title, & large portions of my listing descriptionverbatim. Thistells me I am on my way to being to being the pioneer and self-starter of vintage perfumerysales.

Beliefis the enemy of knowing.

I Don’t simply believe – in what I’m selling – I know what I’m selling.

(Buyer satisfaction disclaimer)

Additional to my stellar expertise and reputation,

ALL my vintage fragrance listings are tested, authentic, properly stored, well preserved, & suited to personal taste/ memory.

My listings are in quirky vintage ‘as-is’ conditions with antique charms of possible bottle blemishes, misc. cosmetic ‘flaws’ and with various filllines. Somewith original packaging, some without.

All these vintage quirks are carefully described for each individual listing, andI leavenoroom for surprises.Not in the listing images, nor theirdescriptions.

Becauseof the type of products I sell & the need for thorough fragrancetesting, NEVERwill you find a fragrance unsprayed/untested & completely sealed in cellophane.

For you to be confident about your purchase,

It is highly suggested that you:

Research reviews on the vintage formulas.

(My own seller response, Fragrantica, Basenotes forums, YouTube, Facebook groups, etc.).

Obtain travel sizes first of vintage formulas first

(Elsewhere such as Esty).

Make yourself aware of vintage re-formulations *within* vintage eras.

(See: ‘Vintage eras within vintage eras’ below).

Understand the historical use of ‘Polarizing/daring’ ingredient choices made by perfumers for men of past generations.

(The 80’s was a dramatic movement in outlandish masculinity).

Remember that silage scent clouds were up against secondhand smoke in clubs.

(Colognes were made for their scent cloud during these eras, not to necessarily to smell perfect up close).

OR

SIMPLY Blind buy ‘Open mindedly’ with the expectation you may not be satisfied with the DNA.

(& also understand since its authentic and well preserved that I am not at fault of a letdown).

(Personal conclusions on \'Blind buying\' disclaimer)

As mentioned above,

‘Close minded blind buyers’ are known for putting expectations and fantasies upon what a fragrance \'may\' smell like - to be pleasantly surprised.

OR

The complete opposite; emotionally distressed, confused, disappointed, defensive, and invested into putting the blame somewhere other than toward themselves becoming a ‘test and return’ buyer and tarnishing the seller record with negative response.

When choosing to \'blind buy\' vintage fragrances from my shop,

It is helpful if you have some sort of olfactory memory of these DNAS for the many reasons I mentioned above and will mention below in separated sections.

This is especially the case if you are a curious blind buyer with high-expectations, and an emotional outcome.

Just to clarify though,

If you are an ‘open-minded blind buyer’ (Huge difference).

Then you have come to the right place.

(The SOCIOLOGY of \'daring\' ingredients disclaimer)

Statements the fragrance community is not new to hearing:

X \"It\'s spoiled, putrid, something is off, it\'s gone bad.\"

My response:

VERY UNLIKELY.

You are simply confused about what you are smelling.

To be clear:

80\'s, and 90\'s fragrances amplified notes like sweaty cumin, pissy animalics (In some - hi Kouros!), and over all had a more unapologetic masculine, and a purposely somewhat \'offensive\' character in an artistic manner in low quantities - not only to distinguish a bigger barrier between female and male perfumes but to also combat environmental stressors like indoor smoking.

I can steady sell 30+ bottles of vintage Le Male, or countless vintage Acqua Di Gio PH\'s, and still have thatoneblind buyer who comes back and says, \"It smells off/ spoiled.\"

Fragrances used to smell sweaty in comparison to today’s formulas.

These aren\'t your modern regulated ambroxan/ sugary bakery bombs.

Case in point:

‘CK one’ was the first Designer unisex not launched until mid-90\'s,

At one point all male fragrances were a little daring – CK one was basically saying – here’s the first ‘safe’ male/unisex fragrance.

Friendly polite male colognes are a NEWER concept if you really look at perfumery history.

Not to mention:

After years of distributer gaslighting on how reformulations ‘never happen’,

the POA symbol (period after opening symbol) being used on fragrances.

(yet having no scientific validity – a mix of 10% naturals and 10% synthetic aroma chemicals expiring in a concentration of 80% alcohol? Yeah OK),

as well as YouTubeinfluencerspushing a ‘notes gone sour’ narrative,

Gives a very delusional mass conclusion and lack of understanding on how fragrances age in the fragrance community.

Paranoid ‘everything has gone bad’ so you rush to the retail counters and buy their ‘fresh fragrance’.

Cut that out!

REMINDER:

SMOKING AND ‘FRAGRANTING’ INDOORS WAS ALLOWED!

Young or old,

It’s still easy to remember thatINDOOR smokinguse to be allowed atall restaurants & nightclubs.

With secondhand smoking being everywhere - fragrances HAD TO BE DARING and contain competitive base notes to make a statement.

This was especially easier to do in a pre-IFRA regulation era.

Not only were macho masculine notes a must in decades past, nor were IFRA regulations an issue - but theyhadto up the stakes so to speak for cloudy smoking stink fog that marinated in public spaces of the past.

My take is it seems fragrances were originally meant to be smelled in a scent trail/silagecloud –

not as much up close.

Total opposite to today’s perfumery.

(Vintage eras WITHIN vintage eras disclaimer)

ALSO please make note of vintage eras *within* vintage eras that occurred for reasons other than IFRA regulations.

(Distributer changes, ingredient sourcing, general improvements, tweaking notes to stay current with trends, ect).

For example, there are stark differences between vintage Obsession for men 80\'s (Darker) vs. 90\'s (Sparklier), Drakkar Noir 80\'s (More patchouli) vs. 90\'s (More lemon), Le Male 90\'s (More sweaty cumin & vanilla), vs. 00\'s (More herbal and fresher), Polo Green 70\'s (Sweeter pine, Darker base) vs 80\'s/90\'s (Ashy-er, more aromatic).

(The list goes on and on for deep vintage fragrances).

I cannot stress enough how important it is to know the formula you are buying when investing into a vintage fragrance.

One moment you are confident in your purchase, and then you get a different \'era\' in the mail,

only to become another unsatisfied blind buyer that remembersslightly different characteristics.

(\'Uniquely aging\' disclaimer)

This section is a bit fluid – and on the New Age ‘Wu Wu’ side - not really backed by science.

But something I notice here and there in perfumery.

Fragrances MAY smell slightly different in character when comparing one vintage bottle depending on how it was ‘Natured’ & ‘Nurtured’.

(Stick with me - trying not to make this weird LOL).

This could be due to glass color, weather patterns, temperature, the ‘energy’ of the home from which the bottle came after years of being in the space, in combination with and/or fill the line of the vintage bottle.

(MACERATION: The more air a fragrance gets as it\'s used- the richer it becomes!).

For this reason - POSSIBLY expect unique andsubtleminor differences in character when comparing them to other identical formulas in your collection from the same timeline.

For example:

I sold a 15% full Le Male years ago that was uniquely different somehow than my newer bottles in a way I couldn\'t explain.

The way it \'lived\' its life sort of gave it a unique personality. Despite it still smelling like good ‘ol Le Male.

I sort of wish I held onto it.

Additional to that:

We all have different noses, memories, observations, moods, and things to compare an item to.

Don\'t like the aroma today?

Get a good night’s rest,

‘netipot’ your sinuses,

Boost/improve/ Re-grow your olfactory nerves after a cold,

(Sense of smell needs to re-wire if damaged and smells can seem off).

wear the fragrance appropriate to its purpose and season it was meant for,

and try again tomorrow!

You feel me?

(Buyer abuse disclaimer)

Buyer abuse NOT tolerated in my shop:

-\'Drive-by\' negative reviews without personal contact.

(Let’s talk about why you aredissatisfied with what you are smelling – I likely have a lengthy sociological/ scientific explanation that you likely

need to hear after years of distributer & POA lies, reformulations, and past poor buyer experiences – I’M NOT THE ENEMY!)

-Blind buy \'Test & return\' escalations.

(I\'m not your test shop).

(We as a vintage fragrance seller community are providing you a service,

EVEN if that entails you confirming you don\'t like a DNA if you make the decision to blind buy it.)

-Buy & immediate cancel events.

(I’m charged a fee for your non-committed purchases).

(Negative response disclaimer)

When considering leaving negative response at the end of your experience, with

Ask YOURSELF these questions:

\"1. Was I open minded from the beginning and willing to take a risk and \'blind smell\' time capsules from the past?\"

\"2. Did I make this error and buy the wrong vintage formula my brain remembers?\"

(ALL of my listings have a preciseyear of production - did you date your memories prior to purchase?)

\"3. Did I reach out to the seller before leaving negative response to try to understand what happened or did a leave a blind-sighted negative review?\"

\"4. Am I about to review the product by mistake on the seller’s response page?\"

(I am not your personal \'Fragrantica\' or product reviews page to rant if you don\'t like the DNA. Visit the correct outlet to tell the world how this fragrance isn\'t your thing.)

\"5. Is my seller really to blame with this outcome or is he just a target of my dissatisfaction?\"

By purchasing a listing fromguardianofthefragrances,

You agree youhave taken a considerable amount of personal time within yourself before you make your purchasing decisions and / or negatively reviewing my service.

And bypossiblyblind purchasing from me,

you also agree that my service to you is to provide authentic well preserved vintage fragrances in a friendly manner in a timely shipping speed.Not tobe a target if you possibly don\'t enjoy the DNA and/ or vintage era it came from.

(Buyer satisfaction conclusion disclaimer)

Vintage fragrances are AN EXPERIENCE guys,

I’m not saying vintage colognes are scary, they’re really not.

But if you are heavily indoctrinated to modern perfumery - you must be open minded and give yourself time to understand older fragrance nuances.

Vintage fragrances aren\'tfor everyone - and I\'mok with that - And you should be too.

Unfortunately,

I CANNOT tell you if you will like what I sell, or if it will perfectly match thememory imprinted in your hippocampus.

That is THE fragrance journey.

But I am happy to provide a service to help you on that journey.

Because I am on that journey as well.

I hope by viewing my detailed listings, and knowing the formula you are buying,

You own a beloved discontinued fragrance for years to come.

Please email me if you have any further questions.
