Addiction comes from watching too much fragrance reviews on RU-vid and joining frag groups. Remove yourself from those and you are cured. Trust me.

I don't even have a RU-vid channel and I can feel the pull of that rabbit hole. I'm sinking a lot of money into decants and samples, but at least I'm not blind buying loads of bottles... For me, setting a monthly budget helps (even though I invariably overspend that!)

@misterfinerthings 4 года назад

One thing I learned some time ago in my fragrance journey is that just because you think a fragrance smells great doesn't mean you need to own it, or that you would even wear it. I love Tea For Two, but I don't want to walk around smelling like lapsang souchong all day. You get what I'm saying. Fragrance is an art form, and you can appreciate a piece of art without owning it. Moreover, the more fragrances you own, the more fragrances will likely sit on your shelf, and the less you will actually wear them! So own what you can't live without, and just appreciate the rest.

I agree I've actually approached my fragrances similarly to how I approach my wardrobe, capsules. a few staple versatile pieces that fit the season and are appropriate for many types of occasions. So I usually have two fall/winter scents and two spring/summer scents in full bottles.

@Goldfever06 4 года назад

I appreciate you making this video. When I started my collection I'd justify the small purchases mentally not realizing how quickly they add up. During my fragrance journey I've also regrettably blind bought full bottle based off a reviewers suggestion. I've even tried to justify the purchases by saying "I can make my money back and then more if I begin to sale decants" and never got around to it smh. It's just as bad as any addiction but swept under rug and just not talked about. At my worst point I found myself hunting down rare or hard to find fragrances via foreign sites and using a service like Parcl to have it shipped to me here in the US. Thank you for being honest and sharing your experience.

Thank you for bringing up this issue. I feel like most of the community laughs it off but for many it is a real problem. I nearly fell into the cycle of buying new frags for that sweet dopamine rush, but sat down and calculated that with my small collection of only 13 bottles I had enough fragrance to last me daily for ten years... Now I've stopped and am happy with what I have!

Literally gained a lot of respect from me on this post. I learned very early how expensive this hobby could become so to save money I would sample around and ultimately if my wife love a particular fragrance I would purchase it. The catch is if the purchase didn’t come from living expenses nor set me back from financial goals then it’s fair game.

@craigbartlett2974 2 года назад

Fair play. So refreshing to hear a fragrance content creator come out with this message. I’m a new collector with a modest budget to spend that i’m lucky enough to be able to invest. Samples included, am currently at maybe 150 fragrances. Loving the journey, but your observations on addiction and always looking for the next scent are so on point. I accidentally got started buying fragrances after watching several fragrance channels. Glad I did, but Its genuinely really refreshing to see you raise this issue. Most people really only need a maximum of 4 or 5 fragrances (even 2 is fine!) and shouldn’t fall down the rabbit hole! Much thanks

@TJCleyn 3 года назад

Thank you for the vulnerability man! I am a beginner fragrance fan and since seeing all these fantastic fragrance reviews I really feel the pressure to build a large collection of fragrances in order to "match up" to collectors. I still decided to keep my collection at a level where my usage is in balance with my purchasing and for me that balance is at having exactly 12 fragrances. This made me really consider what I value in a fragrance and each one in my little collection is very special to me and serves a very different purpose. I'm glad you opened up and did not give air to guilt-tripping or shame. Thank you!

@michaellee8815 Год назад

I appreciate your honesty, I get the “addiction” portion, especially when new things are constantly coming out. I found that keeping an excel spreadsheet like a complete nerd helped with the need/want to buy. Cuz it was like I satisfied the “ok I want this, and it’s marked down now, so I’ll get it one day down the road”, and made it much easier to not buy so much.

@petrowolke 3 года назад

Thanks for this honest video. I'm kinda worried to get on the path.. But luckily ordering samples isn't that expensive

@PG-qn8od 4 года назад

I admire you for being so honest about this topic, because it feels very relatable. Getting new perfumes can be indeed very addicting, I noticed it with myself too... you buy the fragrance you wanted to buy all the time, and as soon as you get it, you look for the next exciting ultimate scent, the holy grail scent that suits you perfectly. Gladly I didn't make debts, but I already noticed just buying and buying is useless, and very costly, because the perfumes just end on a shelf or in a closet and often are not even used, because there are just so many options to chose from, and it would take ages to use them up. I kinda adopted a minimalist approach to try only having 3 full bottles of perfumes at a time. If I want to experience more perfumes I buy samples (like niche perfume samples). If I want a new full bottle I sell one of the current 3 or just wait till I finished one.

@kmw1175 2 года назад

Hey Ash, amazing video. You're a great person and it takes courage to come publicly as you did talking about this topic. I completely agree with you, it can happen with any product, and it's especially easy to buy something you don't need to through e-commerce and also digital games. I can't say that for sure, but I'm under the impression that some people try to find that "special product" that will make them extremely unique or completely stand out from the crowd. And it's probably more common with younger guys that fear getting rejected or that think a fragrance will make it easier for them to date or something (and we know that fragrances help, but are far from being the only factor in relationships). One thing that maybe contributes to fragrance addiction is the risk of them being discontinued. Decants are an option in this case, as you said. Thanks for the high quality content.

@caseyfranks6026 4 года назад

Nice video and thanks for the honesty. I never really went into debt over fragances but even so, it hit me when I wouldn't really worry about buying other things I needed over fragance. I realized I was buying way too much more than I was spraying so I pretty much stopped to just enjoy and finish bottles. This year I have bought no more than 10 fragances. Preferred Stock is where it began for me back in the 7th grade and it got serious a few years later when I got Xeryus Rouge bottle as a gift. Totally blown away by Givenchy.
