Does everyone have monthly rotations at all? I haven't got so far. But I do consider as it makes it easier to decide in the morning.

I do them because it means I can make dents in my bottles and they're not sitting around collecting dust as I wear them for 7 days.
The others that are not in the rotation will be collecting dust meanwhile 😅
Just too many bottles...
I don't have a rotation plan either. I decide what I will use for the day in the morning before I shower. My decision process starts with the thought "I want to wear something... fruity/musky" for example. Then I choose 2-3 bottles that fill the description. From the 3 I spray only two of them, one on each arm. This helps me make my final decision and spray SOTD after the shower. I don't decide according to seasons or situations just what I'm in the mood.

I am kind of the same as Cocopah as in i mostly decide on the day of what i am in the mood to wear. Although i have been thinking about trying to be more in tune with the seasons but i am from Scotland so it is a little difficult here as we have had a really long winter. Usually by now we should be getting warmer weather and sunny days but like i say it feels more like winter still so while in most places, except Australia of course are experiencing nice spring days we are still experiencing the same kind of weather we had in October.
For the days where i do decide to try stay in season though i usually pick something like YSL Y, EROS Flame, Invictus Platinum and Dylan Blue which imo can be worn any season. Most of my other fragrances are pretty heavy stuff for seasons more suited to the weather we get here. Although i have been ordering some summer stuff as when we get a good summer it can get really hot here, like temperatures you get in places like Spain in recent years.
What I'm wearing June 2023:
Vanilla Diorama (Dior)
Ultra Male (JPG)
The One EDP (Dolce&Gabbana)
Bvlgari Man Wood Essence (Bvlgari)
So with hot weather recently i have actually been wearing scents that are more in tune with the weather.
They have been and will continue to be as follows
Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense
Versace pour Homme Dylan Blue Eau de Toilette
Versace Man Eau Fraîche Eau de Toilette
"Invictus Platinum | Paco Rabanne"
Y Eau de Parfum & the EDT
and hopefully as i am yet to test soon
La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique
It maybe seems a lot but some have low longevity so i switch a few times a day.
Sauvage Parfum
Shalimar Eau de Toilette
Euphoria Men Eau de ToiletteSauvage ParfumShalimar Eau de ToiletteEuphoria Men Eau de ToiletteChange of plans.
"Paradoxe | Prada"

I fully agree:) If you enjoy a particular fragrance and it brings you joy regardless of the season, there's no reason why you shouldn't wear it year-round. Fragrances are a form of self-expression, and wearing a scent that resonates with you and makes you feel confident is more important than adhering to any specific seasonal guidelines, at least to me. Does anyone else feel the same way? Let's discuss.

I’m one of those people who rotate by seasons. For autumn it’s these ones:
"I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess - Rose de Mai | Kilian"
I get olfactory fatigue very easily so to avoid it I must constantly have a large rotation. Also my collection consists of about 1,000 bottles so I find a monthly or weekly tray very helpful when choosing my SOTD. Currently I'm doing monthly trays.
This is my October tray.
Full bottles:
"Fresh Brewed Coffee | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance"
"Pumpkin Pie | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance"
Rêve de Miel - Eau Savoureuse Parfumante
Travel sizes, oils & solids:
"Ingenue | Terres Dorees"
Now in the colder weather I can get back to some that were just not wearable in the heat we had this summer, even in Scotland it was very hot.
"Hard Candy Elixir | Aaron Terence Hughes"
Spicebomb Infrared Eau de Toilette
"Soprano | XerJoff"
"1 Million Lucky | Paco Rabanne"
"1 Million Elixir | Paco Rabanne"
La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique
Versace pour Homme Dylan Blue Eau de Toilette
Oud Noir also from Aaron Terence Hughes (not in database yet)
And although these next 2 are more suitable for summer the performance is through the roof so can be worn on sunny days
"Hawas for Him | Rasasi"
Octobre 2023, will be wearing:
L'Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum (vintage)
Miss Dior Esprit de Parfum Original
Tea Time à Paris - Macaron Amande before bed
Croissant Café on the wrists
I wore and finished those in Septembre:
My rotation for November 2023:
"Prestigiste No. 6 - Helsinki Spirit Woman | Max Joacim"
"Olfactive Facet 703 - Tonka Bean & Moka | N.C.P."
"Olfactive Facet 501 - Iris & Vanilla | N.C.P."
"Mulled Cider | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance"
Madagascan Vanilla Flower Perfume Oil
my (planned) rotation for Nov 2023:
"Sand Desert At Sunset | Zara"
"Lovefest Burning Cherry | 48 | Kayali"

I meant to reply to your photo of your cupboard, what a choice you have! And in response about you having to rotate a lot to stop going nose blind in one of your prior posts, i am with you right there. Sadly, that means this month has zero rotation for me, as i am wearing nothing for a month to clear my nose blindness issues. I will get the last week to wear something if all goes to plan. Until then i will not make any decisions as who knows what i will crave wearing by then lol.
I don't exactly have a rotation plan as I'll decide what to wear in the morning. However I have 'seasonal' rotations. This fall I'll wear:
L'Agent Eau de Parfum
Kim Kardashian
Enigma "Maroussia | Slava Zaïtsev" 
Hugo Deep Red
Rush
Far Away Eau de Parfum
Secret Obsession
Amber Elixir
Reveal
Cashmere Mist Eau de Parfum
Original Musk Blend No. 1
Passage d'Enfer Extrême
Coriandre Eau de Toilette

Thank you so much, dear @Mitchcraft! 🥰🙏 Oh yeah, I read your blog article about it, olfactory fatigue is super annoying... Fortunately for me it has so far been enough that I just have a large rotation. I wish your nose will get cleared asap!
