A fragrance wardrobe is a selection of perfumes someone chooses among for different preferences, moods or settings. It is also called a perfume wardrobe or scent wardrobe. The emphasis is on how the fragrances are worn, rather than the number owned.
You might keep a familiar everyday scent and a contrasting alternative, or enjoy a wider rotation. The roles can overlap: the same fragrance may suit work where scent is welcome, weekends and evenings. There is no requirement to fill every season or occasion with a different bottle.
A collection and a wardrobe can be the same group of perfumes. Collecting emphasizes ownership or interest; wardrobe emphasizes use. Neither term determines how many fragrances a person should have.
