I never showed my collection to nobody. Is 125 frags, of course is not that so big, but yes, is to much to normal people. I wouldn't deal well with the other people judgements. Nowadays I'm not married anymore, him didn't mind my collection. I hope if I had someone in future, this would not be a drama, If I decide to reveal my hobby. 😂
My collection amounts to dozens, not hundreds (yet). Hubby thinks it's excessive but doesn't complain. I'm careful not to go too insane with the costs. Always looking on Marketplace, comparing prices on the discount sites, researching dupes, and getting decants occasionally. But I am positively giddy that my 21 year old son has become very interested in fragrance. I love discussing different perfumes, projection, sillage, etc with him! We sometimes go to Shoppers Drug Mart together and test perfumes. So fun! Hubby isn't interested in any of that. He has a couple of fragrances of his own but isn't obsessed like I am. I really enjoyed this video of your hubby! I love that he acknowledged that his own hobby can also cost money.
I really liked your husband’s attitude. He’s happy that you are having fun and respects that people have different passions. He admits that he doesn’t understand everything about the hobby but not negative. Thanks!
Such a lovely appearance on the channel, very funny 😊. I love how he actually accepts and respects your passion and compares it to his love for football.
This is one of my favorite videos! I recall seeing this a few years back and was looking for it since I thought it was he was funny and honest. I see you made it private and now released it again! Thank you for that. I love, love fragrances! I have way too many. The availability of it makes too easy to purchase as well as it being my "aromatherapy". Family & friends know that this is my thing but very few know just how many I have.
I think the reason that we get into the huge collection part of the hobby is that aside from the beauty of the bottles and scent of the fragrance, we enjoy sharing opinions in Facebook groups, online forums and RUclips comments. The bigger the collection, the more the hobbyist can identify with printed comments and reviews and also recall the smell of scents mentioned in RUclips top 10 list videos. For Arlene, the added bonus is creating content for RUclips with the hope she reaches greater audiences and in turn is properly compensated by RUclips and other entities.
I probably have about 125 Fragrances, but I blind by a lot of them and my adult son lives with me while I have been able to bring him around to enjoying fragrance as well, he thinks I am crazy for all the bottles I have, and how much I have spent on this hobby. My most expensive is of course the large bottle of baccarat rouge 540 I have some other expensive ones as well. This hobby only started for me when Covid started and I started watching these types of videos. Your husband is funny I think he feels the same as most of our husbands do .
My husband is more than fine with my perfume hobby. He is definitely more interested than he used to be and likes to have a handful of fragrances to rotate through. He's not interested in perfumers, or notes, brands or new releases. And he isn't interested in chatting to people about perfume or watching videos. But he's happy to smell samples or discovery sets together with me. He loves a gourmand actually. His latest perfumes (from me) are Lush Chelsea Morning and Commodity Moss. He has a ton of samples in his work van because I am always palming stuff off on him. My Mum and my Cousin have also benefitted from this hobby, finding new scents they love ❤ So nice to hear your husband's story 🤗
My husband is the same. He is supportive but also doesn’t totally get it. Your husband is very funny, Arlene. There should be a spousal support group for fragrance addicts. A safe place to vent about all the things that confound and confuse them about our hobby.
I have over 100 fragrances but I do enjoy them so much and use them all. Of course, some of them I will never finish, Sometimes my taste changes and they end up with my friends. I do feel guilty when I buy a new bottle of perfume but this is my hobby and I do not hurt anyone by doing it.
Wow, he had me from the Rocky poster! Well done, Arline. Well, every time there's a box arriving for me, my husband reminds me that we gonna end up bankrupt 😂 😅
Arlene, your husband seems so funny and sweet. My husband thinks I am seriously crazy but is somewhat patient at least so far. I have only been collecting for the last year or so. I do love this so much. And I think it can be a problem because it is expensive and no matter how much I get I want more. I am working on that part. Thank your hubby, great video ❤❤❤
Hi Arlene! I'm a Philly suburb native. Yo Eagles! Who is the Rocky fan? One of our family's favourite films of all time! My brother has a dog...a BOXER....named Mickey Burgess Meredith. 😂 Your husband' s perspective reminds me very much of my German husband's. 😂 😊
I loved this video!!! Your hubby is a sweetheart. Mine isn't quite as calm and collected about my collection, especially when a new one comes in the mail. 🤣 But he has a pricey hobby of his own, so it's tit for tat here. Many thanks for sharing this Arlene, it made me laugh about my own situation.
This was great! I live alone but my late husband was the best and I am certain he'd be absolutely fine with whatever number I owned. My kids are grown but they are pretty into fragrances now too, especially my son.
A hobby doesn't have to be rational, logical or make sense, hence it is a hobby. Fragrance hobby and collecting is no different than any other hobby or collecting.
I’m pretty reasonable with my love of fragrance, I don’t have an astronomical collection but to put it into a little more perspective, I feel like for me, I’m a very emotional person and this gives me an outlet to express myself. 🥰 my husband gets that about me. I have all gold mine in 4 small chest. Away from light, so there not out to be seen. Arlene, I feel like your husband is pretty understandable about your hobby.
Haha when he was talking about how you would talk to him about perfume from 7pm - 10.30pm 😂😂 my partner can so relate. We need a separate channel for perfume lovers partners 🤣
If my husband made a video like this it would not be as laid back and understanding, he thinks I’m nuts but is slowly accepting it. Very slowly though..
Thanks for the video. Great to hear your perspective and your perfume story :-D My husband doesn't mind my perfume hobby. I spend only my own money, and I'm financially responsible. Also, I don't discuss perfumes with him. He appreciates that I always smell good, and he likes that he sometimes gets perfume, too :-) The rest of my family doesn't know about my perfume collection. They aren't into perfumes at all. Anyway, there's an online perfume community, so it doesn't bother me at all :-)
Ah thats so cool that your husband wanted to coöperate in a video like this. 😃 My husband really doesnt get why I like all the perfumes and he thinks they all smell the same. When I ask him what he thinks of this or that fragrance he sais: 'it smells like V&D', (maybe you lived here in the Netherlands already when it was around? If not, it was a department store that used to be around here in the Netherlands, sort of De Bijenkord but cheaper.) Whenever he walked into the V&D as a kid he always walked through the perfume section first because it was near the entrance and it always smelled like perfume ofcourse, so to him everything 'smells like V&D.' 😂
Ate Arlene, does husband get talent fee 😅😂. Merry chrismas to your family.! Being perfume addict helps others like me some hacks to find the best perfume in a practical way...your review is not necessarily my 100%preference but the way you describes it helps us.
My husband feels exactly the same. Doesn't get it, doesn't care about it and cannot understand why i need 50 different vanillas (because they're all different, duh! and my perfect unicorn scent is out there somewhere!) Listens patiently as i rattle on but definitely isnt interested. He will wear The Harmonist Matrix Metal because i bought it for him but thats about it. I'll admit it is an addiction of sorts, a dopamine chase but theres much worse things to be addicted to in this world besides fragrance for sure!
4:41 🤣 So true. Ahhhh to be a normie again. 😮💨 Of course, I'm a big proponent of keeping the collection liquid/flowing, so if you can pass it off as a side investment (considering the value appreciation of discontinued items), you don't get as many strange looks. 😂 As long as the attachment isn't dire, I think it's just like any other hobby. What did Steve Carell's character in the 40 Year Old Virgin get for his action figure collection again? A hundred grand? Yeah. Patience is everything.
Soooo curious...what does your SO or family or friends think of this perfume hobby? 😁
I never showed my collection to nobody. Is 125 frags, of course is not that so big, but yes, is to much to normal people. I wouldn't deal well with the other people judgements.
Nowadays I'm not married anymore, him didn't mind my collection.

My fiancée says that I'm addicted to perfumes. Too I have so many😂😂😂😂
You guys make a Beautiful couple ❤❤
Oh gosh i would love to share my collection but oh the judgment i would receive. When my mother in law comes i make sure to close my bedroom door.
As a fan and fellow addict, ty for being so understanding of your sweet wife. I enjoy her perspective. She is very calm and a joy to watch. ❤
Arlene how sweet is your husband! He seems very fun! Happy Holidays! 💜
My husband is the same... as long as we don't go broke with my perfume habit than it's ALL good!
Yes!!
I really liked your husband’s attitude. He’s happy that you are having fun and respects that people have different passions. He admits that he doesn’t understand everything about the hobby but not negative. Thanks!
this is so sweet. glad you have your frag community. his posters look great
Lol they're my posters, I'm a huge Rocky fan 😁
Thanks Mark for making an appearance 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄
Such a lovely appearance on the channel, very funny 😊. I love how he actually accepts and respects your passion and compares it to his love for football.
From 7 to 10 talking about perfumes....husband reaction (aha, mhm..) had me rolling . Thanks for the laugh.
😁

I think Arlene is pretty moderate when it comes to how often something comes into her collection. I kind of like that and rarely ever skip a video!
Aw this is sweet! Happy Holidays to u bestie and to your hubby! ❤
How lovely 😍 What a Great Idea! 😁 looking firward. Greetings and merry x-mas 🎄
What a lovely man. Made me laugh as well. He's a keeper!
Nice to meet you, Mark. Aw, he seems to be very patient and understanding.

I was just thinking that prob. Arlene should have her husband on the show to give HIS perspective. It's like she read my mind!
At least we met him😊😊😊😊❤❤and such an interesting topic again😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing your story 🙌🏽🤩
🤣🤣😍😍 this is a fun video Arlene 🎄🎄🎄
So funny, it's like he is forced to do this video😂
Lol i showed this to my husband and he said maybe he should do one lol
😂
Blink twice if you’re being held against your will
😂😂😂

Nice ❤️
