    People can be very judgmental over the most inconsequential things. I really like how honest you are about your buying and decluttering habits. Just your acknowledgment of that feels very real. You're also relatable, and I'm both impulsive and indecisive myself. Not only that, but I'm very fickle when it comes to fragrances - I'll immediately fall in love with something, love it for a week or so, then decide I'm not crazy about it, and have to declutter it immediately. We all have our quirks! I'm glad you addressed those critics, but don't let them get to you.

    Girl, don’t be hard on yourself. Baccarat Rouge 540 is a must have for a perfume collector. I heard another Fragrance You Tuber say: “Everyone has it, but no one will rock it like you” I loved that! Nobody, rocks it like you or me :) Be blessed!!!!

    Did you ever think about decanting a perfume before selling it when you feel like maybe you will come back to it and change your mind? I think a decant is a good idea, because you will have enough of the perfume for sniffing or testing whenever you feel like it and maybe you will be more confident with buying a new bottle if you feel so.

Just stay true to you❣️ there aren't any rules except wear what YOU love and rock it like the beautiful and confident woman you are 🥰 Also wanted to let you know B&BW has a new candle that I thought you may like; vanilla & santal.

    No worries! I do the exact same thing with wigs (I have a wig review channel and have been wearing wigs for four years due to androgenic alopecia that began in my 20's-I'm now 65). We spend $$ learning what we like, what works best for us and even when we find that, we may branch out to try new things and eventually go back to square one. Such is life! I only began with fragrance this year, a natural extension to wearing makeup again for my channel, I feel (though it would be nice to have smell-o-vision!) and have purchased more than I think I should, but I want more, still finding my footing with scent. Being very thrifty-I have a frugal living/homesteading channel that has been around for almost 10 years now- I don't own any high end or nice fragrances other than samples. I have mostly affordable ones and dupes. I have a Poison Girl dupe from La Rive and love it. Appreciate your channel! ~Cynthia

    I've heard so many minimalists say it was far better for them to not hoard things "just in case", even if they had to replace the odd item here and there. I've switched that mindset and its so true. It confirms what you brought into your home was really worth it.

    I appreciate your honesty. I have bought so many things that didn’t work. I have lost a lot of money on clothes in addition to perfumes. I also really battle clutter. I am trying to be more like you and let stuff go instead of keeping it just in case. I think repurchasing a few bottles is much better than keeping everything. I also appreciate your positivity and avoidance of ageism and unnecessary negative criticism. You do a great job of critiquing and giving you opinion without being negative.

    So funny that this video came up for me today! Last night I had trouble sleeping and I spritzed myself with a perfume that I thought I HATED (don’t ask me why), and was thinking I was even going to return it. Well, I had an absolutely positive reaction to the scent this time instead. And I’m not talking years here where your tastes can change over time… it was only a couple weeks that had gone by! I was so shocked that my feelings in it had changed that quickly.
    So don’t feel bad about changing your mind. I think it can probably happen to all of us. I just never realized before now that it could happen so quickly!

    I'm definitely not here to judge - to me your impulsivity is very relatable! I've done exactly the same thing - buying, decluttering, then buying again when hearing someone praising it, then decluttering it again, overanalyzing my collection, developing all kinds of rules of how my collection should look like, etc :D been there, done that! Now I'm really trying to let go of the idea of a "perfect" perfume collection as I feel no such thing even exists, pursuing it just causes this buy-declutter -cycle IMO.

  • @MelisaSJ

    I think that’s the thing with BR 540. If you’ve never wear the original, you’ll most likely be very satisfied with the dupes/inspired one. But once you’ve smell and wear the original, nothing else comes even close. The original just have the perfect ingredients and perfect ratio of each ingredients that makes it 👌🏻

I love seeing the journey. Plus seeing BIG BOTTLES 🥰
    It does make a lot of sense now that you frequently resell. It’s really awesome you also get assistance from fragbuy and other sponsors to help you with reducing the amount of money you’d have to spend on all these perfumes for you to try as well.
    I do love hearing about perfumes you bring back as well bc it just gives a new fresh perspective of them after a while or being sick or them or stuff like that. Always makes me check out the sites to see if I really need them in my collection too!

    I am so glad about you bringing Valentino Donna back. And I can totally relate to your situation. I had sold it after I got it and immediately regretted it. So I brought it back in my collection. Although on me is the opposite. It's a beautiful, feminin, classy and bold scent. Strangely, I cannot spray it to much on me. I did it once and wish I had sprayed less. I guess it was to hot that day. But I will keep it because I love it so much. I am trying to find the O.G. of Poison Girl but I only find the EDT and the Unexpected. Where did you buy yours? It's a very nice and sexy scent. Thanks for sharing your video with us!

    Diptyque:
    I was never a vanilla scent kind of girl. But I came across Eau Duelle, and I fell head over heels in love. Always getting compliments. So I decided to chase that vanilla scent. I’ve tried many others from different brands expensive and cheap, and I can say that no other vanilla scent comes close to Eau Duelle. Actually this is how I came across your channel, looking for other vanilla recommendations. This is for sure my signature scent, going on my 3rd bottle. You have to try the intense version. Also, try 34 intense and Benjoin Boheme eau de parfum.
    Byredo:
    Gypsy water is a classic! Also my favorite. Try, bal dafrique, Blanche and 1995 if you haven’t already.
    I started wearing these scents because I didn’t want to smell like anyone else. When people ask me what I’m wearing, they don’t even know the brands and I love it. I stopped wearing RB 540 bc now everyone has a similar version and I can smell that 10 miles away lol.
    I will continue to stick with Byredo, diptyque and Jo Malone bc they truly make unique scents. I keep chasing other scents to find something similar but it just doesn’t work out. Oh well, this is part of the adventure. Happy shopping I say!!!

    I tried gypsy water a few years ago when I was a lot younger and disliked it so I gave it to my mum, ironically she got another small bottle of it and gave it to me to try a weeks ago and I absolutely loved it that I bought the full size a week later, I do wish the performance was better especially for the price, I also love flower head from byredo but only have had the hair perfume of it, not the perfume but I’d like to pick that one up at some point, Donna is also one of my favourites and I actually way prefer it to born in Roma, it’s your collection and you should be allowed to swap things in and out as you please, so don’t let anyone say otherwise :)

    Well… I kept it, and after 2 years I forced my self to wear it everyday occasions, and now I LOVE IT… 😂

    Why does no one talk about Pure Poison? I have been wearing it since it first came out, and I have never heard it mentioned. It is my signature scent. I love it

    Don’t feel bad about BR540! Lol. I have the extrait and feel the slight difference, so I bought the smaller travel sized bottle. And I feel like I get something from it that I don’t get from the extrait. And I was initially anosmic to it and at times still am. But when I do get a whiff-I’m like who is smelling that good??? Lol. Then realize it’s me! I love it honestly. And I layer it a lot. I will probably end up with a regular sized bottle at some point.
    I also enjoy Eau Duelle Parfum and my fav byredo is Bal D’Afrique.

    'Don't be too hard on yourself' is often easier said than done. You have to be a special person working in healthcare. Thus, typically more empathetic. So it is important that you do self-care and be cautious about negativity. Personally, I thank you for taking time to do videos. Taking time to edit and create content is not easy. As for the fragrances, if you think you would like woodsy perfume, you should try a decant of Encre Noire. It smells like a wet woodsy forest with the dry leaves on the forest ground. It is very earthy, dark, and dry woods on its own. But if you layer a sugar sweet scent on top, it layers nicely. Keep up the good work, stay healthy and be safe. We love our nurses! 💐

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and being honest. I blind bought Cloud and thought I would love it. I didn't. The scent even stuck around the shirt I was wearing when I had it on after I washed it. It just didn't work on my skin so I really don't think I would revisit it.
    Fragrances are so personal & I would rarely blind buy ever again. I absolutely have to test it on my skin because my skin is picky AF or be okay with the loss & not invest too much in blind buys.
    Our tastes evolve & change. It's ok to change our minds. Also, I hope people would take away from this that maybe don't just go out & buy a fragrance based on a recommendation. See if you can sample it in store or find a decant website to test it on your skin before pulling the trigger. That way, you can find out for yourself if the scent works for you. Recommendations help me narrow down selections & give those a try first and it's very helpful to focus on those in the sea of perfumes out there.
    Thank you for posting! I enjoy your content 😊

    Good video! Have you considered ordering samples of fragrances you want to try before you purchase the full size bottle? A lot of people have mixed feelings about BR 540. It happens. I've heard some reviewers say they took a break from wearing it for a while then started back wearing it.

      I also feel like samples from the company or decants can be helpful, but I notice (especially for the more natural or refined smelling fragrances) that the strength isn't the same bc of the smaller spray volume. Full size bottle sprayers almost always give a better impression of the overall fragrance experience. Does that make sense?

    Lol. I was totally judging you as soon as I read the title only because I thought these might end up being decluttered as well! 😂 I always think of you before decluttering now because I change my mind as well and I don't want to regret it. I am also 100% impulsive and indecisive (I have ADHD). So I totally get the struggle! Please dont ever feel you have to hold back because of a few judgy people when there's literally thousands of us who watch and enjoy every bit of your journey and what you share.

    If you like powdery try Serge Lutens Clair De Musc. I thought I loved powdery but this is *intense* coty airspun powdery smell.
    ETA: I'm wearing it now and I'm wishing it had a touch of rose or something to make it less cloying.

    Where do you have this information about ambergris in BR540 from? I think that if baccarat rouge had real ambergris in it it would cost much much much more. This perfume is called molecule perfume because of heavy dose of
    ambroxan in it. There are so many articles about it edit: quote from the interview with FK: There’s a synthetic oakmoss, veltol and Ambroxan and hedione.

  • @megk2527

    What about buying perfume samples or small decants? I know that they are not as ascetically pleasing as purchasing a bottle, but it can help the overall cost. If you use the entire sample then you know it’s full bottle worthy ☺️.

    Byredo's Gypsy Water and Clean's Reserve Skin Blend are two of my favorites. two that you might also like: Diptyque's eau Rose and Penhaligon's Cousin Flora (wait a couple hours for the dry down for each). Both Diptyque and Penhaligon's have many great ones (not cheap though), especially directly on skin + time. The development is more important for me than the top notes.

    No shame in changing your mind! Everything from our hormones, being sick, amount of perfume, whether it’s on skin or clothing, etc., can play into how we experience a fragrance. I’ve had days where some scents give me awful headaches, then other days where they don’t. I honestly don’t regret many of my declutters, though I do regret not selling some of them. Hopefully those shopping at Goodwill were happy! 🤣
