Any advice about how to enter fragrances into ZC?

This is the first time I am entering Fragrances, it will be a new main category in itself, so when I was looking at the listing I was thinking what's the best way to enter them. I mean one fragrance comes with different presentations, will that qualify as attributes?
I mean this I Alfred Sung Perfume --- that will be the product, then it comes in >>>
Eau De Toilette Spray (Tester)
Mini EDT
Eau De Toilette Spray 1 oz
Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 oz
Body Cream
Gift Set - 3.4 oz Eau De Toilette Spray + 2.5 oz Body Lotion + 2.5 oz Shower Gel

So my question is what's best, to enter those as attributes of the main product or to enter each as an individual product?
Anyone with experience with these?

I would use Alfred Sung as the product and the various packages as attributes, probably pricing the product by attribute.

Are you really using 1.3.8a??? If so I wouldn't be concerning myself over categories, you need to be upgrading immediately before you are hacked.

I really wanted to do it but my highly customized ZC 1.3.8a, is really difficult to upgrade, it even has my own scripts and some modules not intended for 1.3.8a I made work so ... appreciate your interest but it will way too complicated ... I have a plain ZC 1.5.1 on my B2B business site, but not this one, not yet, Even with Winmerge and other file comparison tools there are so many hacks in there, it will be really difficult to port.

Do it on your schedule or wait and do it on a hackers schedule
Get hacked and your are down and have to "clean" before upgrading
