Now we live on the 25th floor in an apartment building, and subsequently, we have 1,000+ bottles of wine in our walk-in closet. (Perhaps I exaggerate somewhat.

Round ones, I take it? I hadn't thought of storing perfume boxes inside one another, but that would take up less room for sure.

I had to look up "trifecta" and got "parimutuel bet", which I also had to look up. "Cube model" sounds vaguely Picassan, if that is an adjective.<br /><br />Boxes within boxes smacks of Russian dolls. And of someone very keen indeed.

I would not be one of those, though I did once briefly flirt with getting a cube model for my scents. The important or known to be finicky ones, at least.
