87. A Fragrance Collector [Keeper] with Over 900 Bottles (w/ Fragrance Creator & Strategist Olya Bar)

Olya Bar is *Our Fragrance Keeper.* With a collection that runs 900 bottles deep—YES I SAID 900—she’s transcended being a collector, and at this point, is more of an archivist. Want to know how or if a bottle design has changed since it first launched? Olya can tell you. Which reformulation is the sweetest? Olya can tell you. In addition to being a lover/keeper/creator, she’s also an industry vet with over a decade of experience in both retail and marketing. Currently, she works as Twisted Lily’s Digital Strategist.

We cover all the hard-hitting issues like Mercari vs. eBay, niche vs. designer, and of course, the hidden and obvious gems of her… erm… archives. 

Plus, stay tuned for part 2 next week where Olya and I share all our favorite designers fragrances currently on the market!
