Perfume question (especially those that own TM's Angel)
Do you find that perfumes, especially Angel start to have an "off" smell over a long period of time? Do perfumes have a shelf life?

I don't wear Angel but alcohol based perfumes (especially) definitely have a shelf life. Keeping the bottles in a dark, cool place will help prolong the life though...

I am a perfume addict and really don't get through many perfumes because I try to rotate and some I consider "special Occassion" scents, but who wants to throw away a bottle that can cost anywhere from 45-100 dollars?

Yes, perfume's definitely have a shelf life...but, when I owned Angel, I used it so much, it never had a chance to go bad!!!

It is very strong, so I don't really use it much- only at certain times of the year - DH HATES it, another reason I don't get to use it often enough . . . I am thinking the off smell is not coming from the perfume itself, but from the metal part of the bottle.

Oh, I know it's strong...but, I couldn't help myself...
I once had a man in an elevator tell me I was wearing too much perfume...and I was wearing Angel...I was so embarrassed  but, still I loved wearing my Angel!!!!!!!

Same here!! I spray it on when i start getting ready, so that it dissipates a little by the time i go to work  i love it though, and i feel like the scent kind of changes throughout the day 
Bri- im the same way though- i have so many perfumes, and i alternate so much, so i dont go through a bottle right away. i heard most shelf lives are 1 year... but thats CRAZY to me b/c ive had some for a couple of years, and theyre still fine. i guess it depends on the specific one

Re: Perfume question (especially those that own TM's Angel)
I had no idea perfumes have a shelf life. I have so many perfumes.
I do have some i wear only for "special occassions" or when I want to feel "extra pretty" or "extra sexy"
I never thought they would have a shelf life
