Perfume addiction is real. It's such a struggle. There are times I could not sleep because my mind keeps on telling me to buy that perfume. So I got up, go to shop online and then change my mind not to buy it but at times I give in. That's so impractical.

Great advice! So cool to see you talking about this. One thing is that in the UK, it’s better for your credit score to wait until the end of the month to pay of your credit card because the system then sees it and gives you points. But I agree that if someone can’t control their spending they should pay it right off.

I had this problem about 10 years ago when I first got into fragrances. I went crazy and bought about 40 fragrances in a year, many of which I blind bought based on reviews on YT and Basenotes. It was a big mistake because many of the popular fragrances back then on YT(rochas man, PR one million, Armani code EDT, JPG le male, etc..) to my nose in 2021 are outdated. The recommendations I got from Basenotes were horrific. I could tell most of the guys on that forum were in their 50s and 60s because no one in their 20s would wear fragrances they recommended. This is my second run at getting into the fragrance game and now I only focus on fresh/semi fresh scents(I live in LA and it doesn’t get cold here), that are versatile in all seasons, great compliment factors and can be worn day and night. I have a limit of 15 fragrances and if I want something new I will need to sell a fragrance. Another tip: Your fragrances are much easier to sell with the boxes. Keep them around.

This video is right on time for me. I've started falling for that dopamine rush/instant gratification. Working on my mindset. My new goal is to work on using up what I have already. Empty out the bottles. I honestly believe a humble collection of 10-12 fragrances is all I need. We live and we grow. I agree with everything you said here. Lots of wisdom. Especially with the social media topic 😒. I found myself comparing and trying to keep up with others. It turned my innocent love into an obsession. But knowledge is power, and wisdon is the application of said knowledge. I'm thankful to have both now.

I get it. I started watching these videos. You, Gents Scents, Jeremy. I was an old man guy. Drakkar Noir, original Polo, Original Eternity and Obsession. Thats it. I was very dated. I updated. In the last few months, I watched a ton of videos, researched, went to Ulta to find out what I liked. I purchased about 20 scents in a variety of styles for winter, summer, day, night, date, work, etc.. modern quality designer fragrences. But now I'm done. I didn't spend money I didn't have or couldn't afford. But I totally can see how people can let it get out of control.

There's a reason why it's relatively difficult to get samples. Very few companies sell single samples, if they sell samples at all it's usually in a set for which you have to pay a significant amount of money, even if you really wanted to try just one of their fragrances. If I sample a fragrance, most of the times I realise it's not worth it for me. They could sell 5-10 ml bottles, that's plenty to try the fragrance several times in different settings. But they so rarely do, even 30 ml bottles are no longer as available as they used to be. The companies want us to buy big and spend big.

Never compare yourself to people who are richer than you but look at people who have way less than you and who are happy with what they have. Never spend the money you do not have. Sample, Sample and sample before buying. Never buy full retail. Never accumulate fragrances that you do not really like but downsize your collection and go for quality over quantity. Learn about the notes you like the most. Wear your fragrances on a regular basis and do not stock them like trophies. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week and learn how to love yourself. A collection of 10 good fragrances is enough to please any man or any woman on earth. Stop watching Frag reviews if you can't resist...

Yes! I've spent so much money this year!!! It's upsetting because there were many other things that could have been done around the house or purchased or simply saved instead. A lot of problem was with buying samples, falling in love with them and then buying full bottles. This happened a LOT! My "to buy" list was also an issue as I got a lot of stuff from it and thankfully it's whittled down to only three more to get. But all of them are over $100 as are most of the fragrances that I buy now. Going from mainstream to mostly niche has been the primary cause of crazy overspending. I will be on a no buy or very limited buy next year to compensate for the insane spending this year. As well as not getting samples of everything cool that comes out. That may mean quitting watching fragrance videos completely. The less I see, the less I'll spend. It is an addiction and the Black Friday sales sure don't help. I bought a sample set and a 5ml sample just from the sales and a video. When your spending is starting to get in the multiple thousands of dollar range, there is a problem.

Number one reason why I don't have a credit card - because I know I'd be using it constantly to buy fragrances to fulfill that desire or need to have the next best thing. I personally don't need 100+ bottles of fragrances and I honestly don't know how anyone can possibly afford that many bottles. I actually sold a lot of cheap shit that I don't reach for and got some money for them and I'm in the process of decanting all the other unwanted bottles for money for my savings account. This was a great video

Something that has helped me is thinking about how buying more frags will limit how much i can use the ones i have. I REALLY like the MFK Grand soir and Silver I got and I want to use them up and love them so buying more will hurt that. Also in addition I think about how I have my bases already covered because i have one for all the situations Id need one for already. One more tip is to take your time in finding the best ones you can that really blow you away, once you have your bases covered and have what you need and love only sample from then on and only buy things you would love and adore. I sampled like about 20 or so frags and I only walked away loving just one ( Initio - side effect ) so when I have the money and I already have the other things in life i need ill grab it. till then i have what i need! Cheers!

The thing is, this is probably a real thing. Shopping addiction, gambling, dating, sex, these are all things you can get addicted to in excess. It is the brother to substance addiction, called a "process addiction." You get the same pleasure signals when you are buying a new fragrance or receiving it in the mail. You get a temporary high, the high goes away, and you have to buy more to repeat the process.

I used to buy full bottles, but now I just buy samples and decants. Saved a lot of money by switching to decants, because a lot of times I would get a bottle of something, and not even like it that much, but would feel forced to have to use it so it wasn't a waste of money. After buying bottles initially, I have a collection that will take me the rest of my life to use up, so no point to buy a full bottle of something, unless I really love it. Another switch was from 100 ml to 50 ml bottles, easy way to widdle down the price for a bottle.

What I'm doing is this: Finding ways to keep my fragrance-collecting hobby in check without the unrealistic goal of totally abstaining from further purchases indefinitely. Right now, I'm limiting myself to if I happen to find something both appealing and well-priced at a thrift store, estate sale, yard sale, etc. Otherwise, I'm planning to shop after Christmas for markdowns, being selective. If I don't buy anything then, I'll do year-end online shopping. I'm setting aside a budget for this by selling various things I have sitting around that I'll probably never use, cashing in loose change, and so forth--using money that doesn't involve spending part of my paycheck or digging into past savings.

You got my respect for bringing this topic up, everything you mentioned on here is 100% true. Only thing that is not worth it in my opinion is shoping for samples at the site you mentioned with shipping popular 5ml decants are like over 20 after shipping. But other than that your video was great Keep it up bro✌

I've got around 100 bottles but its took me around 10 years to accumulate that many; I set a budget, and extend it by selling or swapping ones that I probably will never wear again. If you got a high priced discontinued fragrance/s that you never pull the trigger on anymore, sell it. There is really no point to having a 100+ bottle of Fragrances; frankly even 50 is probably too many. If you want to cut back, get off fragrance social media ASAP; there is constantly new releases, hype trains, clones and soon to be discontinued fragrances for you just waiting to buy. Stop paying attention to the fragrance world and enjoy the ones currently in your collection.

I think no blind buys will help me because if I have to go to my macys and smell them and make sure i want them, I probably won't buy most of them. Also, just waiting like 72 hours is huge to not buying stuff you don't want.

Very thoughtful video, Dallas. Yes, I really do enjoy different videos like this. I believe that variety is the key to keeping your channel fresh. Again, really hate to both you about this but did you every post the winners for the Cremo colognes? I couldn't find the post anywhere on your channel. Any help is appreciated. Thank you again for everything you do.

Good advice. I've managed to mostly stay away from spending too much money but every once in awhile I end up making a purchase that was probably more than I needed! I buy many samples for reviewing and saving money and I also do splits on a lot of stuff so I can save some money because I'll rarely use a whole bottle! Even 20 ml lasts a long time.

If you spray every day, you will need about 3 x 100 ml a year.
