Remembering the fragrance of Dianne and her Dolce Vita... and hoping to find a good home for her perfume

Dianne and Dolce Vita got along very well together
    Trying to find a new "home" for your loved one's favorite things is both agonizing and therapeutic.  I think a lot of widows and widowers avoid the agony by just keeping all or most of the personal items.
     Dianne really liked Dolce Vita perfume (and bath products) by Christian Dior.  Dolce Vita and Dianne's chemistry were good for each other.  She would often have perfect strangers stop her in a store and ask her what perfume she was wearing.
     Several years ago, it appeared that Christian Dior was gradually discontinuing the Dolce Vita line of products.  I think they still make the perfume, but have discontinued the other related products.
     Dianne was concerned that the entire Dolce Vita line was going to be discontinued... and so... when either one of us saw a bottle of the perfume for sale, we would often buy it "for the future"... just in case.
     I have hesitated writing about the perfume, but I now have 8 bottles of perfume, several bottles of the Dolce Vita lotion, and other Dolce Vita items.
     I could take the items to our local thrift store.  They have said they will take perfume, but I hesitate to do that.
     I know there are other people "out there" who really like Dolce Vita as well, and they would thoroughly treasure this collection. 
     Maybe ebay would be the way to go?  I could give the proceeds to Big Family Mission.
