I think fragrance addiction is the same as any other addiction. It's meant to fill a void in life that's much deeper.

[filippians]

I stopped buying fragrances once I noticed I was feeling guilty each time I ordered a new one. I felt like I needed to hide my purchases. I have enough cologne for 2 lifetimes at this point.

Logic
If bottle No 12, 13, 14 does not make you happy, bottle no 42, 43, 44 will not do it either

Two years ago I stopped buying fragrances. Now I use and enjoy the 20 bottles I own 😎

My shopping addiction changes every season or year. One year it was jeans, another year it was horse tack, another year it was crystals, last summer it was trees/shrubs/flowers for the yard, last fall it was makeup and this winter/spring it was perfume. I'm very aware I'm doing it. I do get a rush on ordering online and getting packages delivered and then smelling beautiful. But I do have plenty now and i need to stop shopping!!! I'm not rich but not broke either but things have gone up in price and I need to save more.

This is by far the most useful fragrance video I’ve seen! All of this overhyping and over sexualizing what a fragrance an do for you is not true unless the other factors in one’s life such as style, fitness and personality/charisma are properly in place. A lot of people in this community have more fragrances than they could wear in 10 lifetimes. At the end of the day all one needs are a few high quality fragrances that they truly love themselves.

This is why I buy small decant samples under 5ml. It has allowed me to fully test-wear and enjoy well over 150 different fragrances for the price of ONE high end niche bottle. I only buy full bottles of the decants I love the most and now have 5 full bottles to last a very long time.

[Noahnelson]

I own 20-30, I'm at the point where I can't find "unique" that I like anymore. Sample packs are really the way to go

[icerilles]

I just started my fragrance journey last year because I was super stressed and it was my stress reliever but I am definitely slowing down this year

[easytoassemble]

I stopped buying fragrances years ago for these very reasons. I now buy designer shower products, because at least I know I'll use those on a daily basis. Emulating the Youtubers is a fool's game, especially when they're probably receiving comp bottles to promote, or are actively buying fragrances as a business expense to boost their channel. The hoarder mentality isn't limited to fragrances though. I've been a book addict, a vinyl addict, and now, a synth / music gear addict (we call it GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome).

Ultimately, it is a shopping addiction, if the act of buying fragrances is where the gratification lies, and you always feel the need to find a new scent.

I keep it to 20 fragrances. More than enough for a selection to wear at different seasons/ occasions.. i know to average person, 20 is too much but for someone who loves fragrances, 20 is the sweetspot

[Kooaid-]

Definitely an addiction or more like a phase for me and I think Youtube has influenced me to have many phases because you have a genuine curiosity for something so you look it up on youtube and instead you’re quickly introduced to this whole community/world of a certain hobby or thing and it makes you want to BUY and/or experience that thing for yourself just to find out it the satisfaction only lasts a short while instead we gotta focus on meaningful things that add value to our lives.

[chi-towncalifornia]

If you’re like me, and you realize you own more bottles of fragrances than pairs of pants and shoes, then you know you’ve gone too far. The sad thing is I end up wearing the same two or three fragrances, and they’re all simple freshies.

[nykia]

I got to a dozen fragrances and told myself, "I have to STOP." I find myself only wearing about 4-5 of them max...so now I'm just running through the bottles that I do have, and wont buy anymore until I finish these off.

[marinelab]

It is actually very healthy to practice a "fragrance shopping fast" every now and then. Finishing old bottle/decants is so satisfying! I realized that spending money on sampling is definitely not a waste, because it saves so many blind buy fails! Sometimes you may not use more than 5 ml of a full size bottle anyway... When I look at my collection, I could easily get ride of 50% of it and not genuinely missing any of those...

[levanabrzeni]

One of the best videos by any frag reviewer. I started watching these reviewes 6 years ago with Jeremy's chanel. As a result, blindly purchased many unneccessary fragrances during these years, most of the scents I disliked when I owned. Kind of spent few years in an illusional world. I thought more fragrances I owned, the more attractive, confident and well rounded I was. Building up fragrances never helped me to build up the networking or private life. The true fact is, fragrances were unable to gain me a partner, or any status in a society. What's more, a fragrance is one of the most illusional thing to invest money in. One might be wearing 500 usd. Fragrance at an office, yet never be in the center of ladies attention. Such an experience has been almost traumatic if you will. I am avoiding purchasing fragrances at this stage.

[WMW-]

It's true! It becomes a real problem if your not carful I've got about 90+ fragrances now and while I've got my good ones I've really wanted my weakness is the cheap buys £20 £30 £40 that you get because you seen all the hype about it and before you know it you have over spent and you don't even like or wear them my big tip is go to shop around test test test and buy quality over quantity and wait until you've used that fragrance before treating yourself to a new one or your love for fragrances will probably fizzle out be left with debt and 100 bottles of fragrances you don't wear

[bonniel]

You are so right. I look at them and have a sinking feeling of regret about all that money spent.

[marcellxxiv]

I feel like it’s no different than a person who collects CDs, Cars, etc. People are spending money on much worse things in life. I love my addiction but I’m not keeping up with the jones lol. It’s self care in a way to me

[mindsetmotivation]

I have 26 bottles and I think I'm satisfied... think.
