    I wore Liz Claiborne Curve and the Body Shop White Musk in my youth but then I didn't wear perfume for decades! Then in my late 30s I came across Black Opium and the addictive scent consumed me and it started this hobby/obsession of mine. Then I found FumeTube and by that time Black Opium was the perfume everyone wanted to hate on. 😂 I don't really wear Black Opium anymore...but I think there's a reason it took people by storm. I tend to get sick of sweet scents quickly when I wear them but I love sniffing the caps. I think I know what you mean when you talk about certain sweet scents creating a pleasure blocker. And there was so much more to love about this video!! You really make me smile. After 4 years working solely from home, they are calling us back to the mother ship later this year. You make me excited to do my hair and makeup again. 🥰

      Hi Amanda! It's so lovely to have you here!
      I remember the bottle for Curve, and we ALL wore Body Shop White Musk at some point, eh? I love that a scent we share is what spawned your love for fragrance again. (Also, re: "FumeTube" - you are LITERALLY the best!!! You made ME smile!)
      Oh wow. Are you ready to go back??? That's going to be an adjustment for sure after four years of working from home where, often (for some people) pants are optional. I love to do hair and makeup and fragrance because it makes me feel good.I hope that YOU feel good when you return to the world of going out of the house to work.
      Are you allowed to wear fragrance where you work? I'm wondering what your first day scent will be if you're allowed????

    Awww, there you are “perfume in my car”🚗 looking gorgeous as ever!!
    OK, not sure how it’s happened, but notwithstanding the 10ml travel sz bottle of D&G LBlue (archived in a drawer), I have none of these.
    I do however share the same experience with vodka …actually I STILL stay away from it - tequila, too. Might be because, packed away with them is where I’d like to keep the related untold stories of my youth?😉
    I do ‘get’ the jist of this tho… I just ‘had to have’ quite a few fragrances that after our initial affair, have since sat lonely. I’m tracking my daily use of my collection in 2024 tho and, hopefully with the change of seasons, summer social gatherings, travel, etc my interest in them will return?? Tracking will tell. And then there will be more lessons learned🤔
    I’ve lately found myself feeling ‘not in the mood’ to buy more perfumes, while also buying more perfumes - because collecting is addictive. It’s an odd contradiction of feelings & weird place to be in. I’m not buying niche or super pricey things, tho. Yet.❤
    Thanks for bringing us another fun & thought provoking upload, my fragrant friend!🥰👏👏👏

      I relate 100% to "I've lately found myself feeling 'not in the mood' to buy more perfumes, while also buying more perfumes"!!! I'm being good (for the most part) and haven't purchased anything 'expensive' for a long time. :)

    It is so wonderful to see you here! I often think about this very thing you’re talking about - why do perfumes seem to fall out of favor (what seems) so quickly? I think once we explore niche it becomes more enticing bc we are all looking to smell exquisitely unique and there’s a much better chance you won’t smell like half the population if you’re wearing niche. That being said, I still go back to a lot of my favorite designer fragrances( Hermes eau de citron noir, Prada infusion d’oiellet, NR pure Musc)

    I don't think about the ones I decluttered. They were decluttered for that reason. I do think that we are on to the next new thing and our taste changes quickly. My time with fragrances has grown shorter though if I've given them a good run.

    • @ScentSiblingsDotCA
      @ScentSiblingsDotCA  7 месяцев назад +1

      You're so much more decisive than I am, Kia! I never know if I've made the right decision. I wonder if the reason we're just on to the next thing so quickly (comparatively, of course) is because we're aware of all the choice and we're sure that the NEXT one will be THE ONE? But then we realize that there will never, ever BE a THE ONE, because the NEXT ONE will always come along. It's like house renovations or going down the plastic surgery and/or procedure (or even tattoo) rabbit hole. It's always the next one. Thank goodness, really. Gives us something to look forward to. :) I love having you here. Thanks for being so present, my friend. I appreciate you so much!
