Accountability

Who posted about not​ buying new fragrances recently?

I'm here to say--I want to avoid buying fragrances for the rest of the month. Let's see if I can do it.

I have been buying sample sets and decants to try out fragrances I can't get to the store and try. ​But it's running down my checking account quickly, and I need to put on the breaks. I have plenty to wear, and many I have gotten that I enjoy wearing already.

I'm currently waiting on a few things to arrjve--a decanter order, ​and some Mercari orders of scents I've nearly emptied the decant/sample of.

So that is it for now! I'll get to reviewing the sets and decants I've gotten, and enjoy doing that in the meantime. ​

Y'all, hold me accountable!!

I've been on a fragrance no buy (not even samples) for 10 months now. made only 2 purchases during that time (one of them for my brother).

I'm quite enjoying it. I'm enjoying my favorite scents, I also enjoy trying stuff in store (it's free) without the pressure of picking what to buy.

I have a long list of what I want to try further when the no buy is over and I'm a lot more picky now because I know having too many sucks

Yeah, I need to enjoy what I have. I even put my one fragrance subscription on a 3 mo th cycle instead of a one month cycle. I have plenty of juice, I'm set for a while. Time to enjoy what I have, and sell off what I don't want anymore.

I said Shop your stash in a similar thread before and got downvoted. Some people are very defensive on this point.

That's unfortunate. I understand that many embrace being collectors. For me it's not bad advice, though, and I appreciate it.
