The no buy seems like a good idea, but as a little sidenote: that way of showcasing (pretty) full perfume bottles also ages the scents faster. The scent notes react to air and light. I collected au de toilettes for a while in my tweens and early teens. Then, at some point, I was done with all the bottles and boxes in my beautycase and the shelves I stored them on so I started using them (normally). Took some years, but I finished basically all the bottles. The ones I liked the least tended to be gifts I couldn't test before I got them. Anyway, a lot of these scents were past their expiration date but because I stored them in the dark and as cool as I could manage I could use them years past their technical expiration date. With the scent more or less fully in tact. I now have like 3 or 4 I regularly use. I want to replace one of 'm but I think it's no longer being sold so I need to go find a dupe somewhere. Dupes tend to be cheaper anyway and I'm setting my eyes toward oil based instead of alcohol based to the scent sticks around for longer. In short, don't store new or (nearly/pretty) full bottles in light and warm environments unless you don't want to use them anymore as it shortens the shelf life of the scents. A perfume fridge (or designated are in your regular fridge) for your faves can also extend the shelf life of the scent. The expiration date is just the date where you can no longer expect the scent to smell the way it did new.

Close 😂🎉

I used some of the perfumes and fragrance mist I collected as a home scent from time to time.i used my Le Labo Classic and few city exclusives nowadays

They keep telling us to buy buy buy spend spend spend

I have 5 perfumes and I'm stopping till im left with 2 next year

I used to be something of a fragrance collector starting in my mid-20s in the early 2000s. My parents always liked wearing fragrances. Mom loved Robert Piguet's Fracas and Chanel No. 5 and dad wore all the nuclear men's colognes from the '70s and '80s. It was a fun hobby for me because you could get a pretty good feel for what was out there based on the variety sold in stores, forums like Basenotes (this was years before Fragrantica was founded), and most things were at least somewhat affordable. Now there are hundreds of brands being sold at insane prices and no normal person can really try even a fraction of what is out there. I've officially checked out as a collector. I have the things that I like and only very rarely make new purchases if something sounds particularly unique or interesting. But again, otherwise I'm done with it.

I bought a rasasi hawas ice on Thursday. It was i don't even know. It's so bad, not to mention that it's expensive. Atleast it was my 2nd cologne and I'm stopping. My 1st one was a Boss bottled elixir i bought last month Atleast that one i physically walked into a shop and bought it and i absolutely love it. I'm done with TH-cam influencers...Atleast i wasted R1275.00😢

Great video

You go girl. It's been getting on my nerves. Why these influencers are encouraging viewers to build a collection of 100, 300 fragrances. Or even worse. A youtube fragrance influencer with over 400 bottles say that they want to buy a fragrance that they had just smelled on a friend at a gathering a few days ago 😮. Am like what the heck is this? Never satisfied?

Hhahahahah imagine going broke over perfume. Stupid games win stupid prizes.

5:00 so basically smell like a skunk 24/7. Got it.

love bianco latte - I don't normally like vanilla either but this one is a must have, made me like vanilla perfumes! I had to stop myself buying any other perfumes this year, I chose 4 perfumes. and will buy 1 last one next year for my 40th. After that I plan a no buy as I have 50-60 fragrances already including travel sized. (but not including dupes)

It’s august, but I’m already searching for spooky perfumes, I love this, very creative and helpful!🩷🩷🩷🩷

omg thank you for this video, i had no idea. she is crazy 😂

I'm sorry but I work for a private label bakery that basically clones name brand crackers and cookies because not everyone can afford a 3 dollar box of Keebler honey grahams or the original Ritz or Zesta saltines and yes some people are addicted to fragrances just like fishing tackle, hot wheels, barbie dolls stanley mugs etc.and knockoffs are nothing new everything goes through cycles and right now clones are the big thing and when well known perfumers are now working with clone houses take for example Fanny Bal working with lattafa to make Asad Zanzibar the train is leaving the station and it's either climb on board or watch it go by but don't blink because it's not slowing down. Now I don't like when a dupe is made that looks exactly like the real version but if I can get a 30 dollar bottle of a 300+ dollar original and have people tell me how good I smell because the majority of people don't have a clue what Bvlgari Tygar is or smells like and the reaction to finding out how much it costs but I have to reassure them that I didn't purchase the real one I'm no longer looked at for being stupid enough to pay that much and show them that I'm wearing Rue Broca Theoreme that I paid 22 dollars for they're only concerned about if I smell good or not and I watch a few different reviewers to gain knowledge about fragrances and if they mention one I am interested in I search for the best deal instead of the link in the description

the top 10 panty dropper recycles are priceless.

You did amazing job with this video. This is so disturbing to listen even if I'm not sure if she's crazy or just not good person (to say it veeeeery politely). Either way, something is not right in that head. She is not the first person with resources and a platform gone in this direction.

I stopped buying in excess

I agree with you. I could have had a used car already 😮

I have same addiction

Maybe will be good idea to share or exchange some perfume ....one's You don't have it or new to You .....

Hello is so true.... Thank you for You honest

And they both are short tempered right wingers

Willst du ein Mensch sein, und kein Tier? Hol dir Gott in dein Revier Dann wird das Menschsein zum Schafott Tiere brauchen keinen Gott

She is crazy but I am sick and tired of cancel culture. Isn't it interesting the same people don't put the same energy into canceling Kayali who basically wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

I’m not done with the video , but I want to thank you for covering this. The hair color thing is straight up racist phrenology packaged in thinly veiled racist phrenology. I want to thank you for showing all this stuff in a serious light , a lot of other yt creators have had a more goofy reaction approach- I get it , it’s like making fun of ancient aliens , but her rhetoric and ideologies are far more nefarious, and it’s truly not funny some of the shit she is saying .

My favorite perfume has long been discontinued. I started getting samples to figure out what I like. Now I have 3 perfumes (3oz size) that I rotate through that I store in one small plastic box in the corner of my closet.

Why does she talk with her eyes closed?

Did u know hitler was a auto body painter and he was saved from dying as a child by a priest from drowning #huntinghitler

Thank you for none links, it will be so helpful not to have them ^^

And Christopher Jones (Christopher Lee fragrances) from Ohio is a registered sex offender

looks like a bunch of body mists

Hi ı stopped my perfume and makeup addiction and just have what ı need. A signature fragrance and basic makeup ı use daily and when ı choose them ı am not influenced by social media and now ı find this over consumption over whelming. I always tried to buy ‘vibe’ or ‘aesthetic’ or even personality when ı bought the products. But now ı am into the Disney collector dolls(ı really loved disney as a kid) ı know having dolls wont change who ı am or wont buy me happiness and ı am not influenced but ı am still wondering having a collection can be a dangerous thing like ı struggled like before? Thx if you answer this

While I do think there's definitely something to be said about influencers and content creators pushing things for profit in the ways they do, I think we have to be much more focused on the personal responsibility that we all have to ourselves as adults which is where the vast majority of the accountability lies. These influencers can push as aggressively as they want to. But at the end of the day, no one has a gun to my head forcing me to buy anything so I simply don't. Especially if I haven't sampled it for myself, or worse, I can't afford it. And in the case of those who are suffering from varying forms of addiction, unfortunately the entire world simply cannot cater to that. Alcoholics exist and if they're intent on improving their life for their sake, they must make the decision to either find ways to engage with alcohol responsibly or just quit drinking it altogether if that's what it takes. It's easier said than done of course, but those really are the only options. But ultimately alcohol will never stop being sold. It's up to each individual adult to use it responsibly. Bakeries and fast food restaurants aren't shutting down for the sake of those with sugar and food addictions. Fragrance consumption is no different. I truly don't mean to sound insensitive and I do apologize in advance if this comment is read that way, but influencers aren't the root of this issue in my opinion. They might be the branches and the flowers of the hyper capitalist and consumerist tree, but they're not the root. Many people who find themselves in the midst of shopping addiction are usually struggling with other unresolved issues. Grief, stress, depression, and anxiety are just a few that are capable of putting people in a place where they may seek out things like shopping for the instant dopamine hit that their brains may be struggling to create organically. If we all woke up tomorrow and influencers no longer existed, I guarantee those people would still be buying compulsively and spending irresponsibly to their detriment because the root of the issue hasn't been resolved. I think videos like this are great in helping those struggling to see that they're not alone and what they're going through isn't normal/should be changed. However, I do think it's important that the focus be largely on us as consumers and what we can and should be doing differently to be more responsible because ultimately we can only control our own behaviors. And I feel like being more responsible involves those people buying less period, not necessarily buying niche fragrances like you seem to be suggesting...? So I was kind of lost at that sentiment seemingly being the conclusion of your video honestly.

I have no social media so I have no idea what these influencers are saying lol when I want a fragrance I think of the notes first and see what fragantica gives me. THEN I’ll TH-cam and see what people say to get an idea of how it smells. I try to limit my scents by categories ie enough variety for day/night and for my nose (too much of the same scent and you’ll go noseblind lest you take a long break from perfumes). I’ve got less than 10 bottles so I’m good lol I’ll likely try to end my “collection” there. Hope these suggestions are helpful for someone. I apply the same rule to everything else to prevent obsessive shopping

youtube suggest me this after watching that social simon. Algo is clever

I dont trust influencers, i remember i commented on youtuber telling her that she is telling lies. She was describing a dupe for Narciso Rodriguez musc noir rose, she actually lying saying that they are identical hahhaha i have both perfumes and they have nothing in common except the packaging. I told her u are a liar and i unsubscribe you are pushing ur loyal followers to waste their money. But u missed something, why aren't u talking abut the crazy prices those designer and niche brands are charging us!!! u are right about overconsumption but i find u more upset about niche brands and their business!! I also prefer niche brands but with the high prices I decided to take a step back and try other affordable brand that offers similar quality if not better, and by the way!

If you are going broke because you have no self control then that's your fault and not the influencers fault imo. While I do agree some of the titles of the videos are ridiculous "Top panty droppers" or "Make you look more attractive to her" etc.. you should at least sample first in a store or online and wear it for a couple weeks to see if it works for you. No fragrances can make you look sexier or more attractive, richer etc...that's just ridiculous.... but it can enhance your outfit or make you feel great which can make you look more attractive. You have to have a personality, good communication skills and dress sense in the first place. At the end of the day, no one complains when Nike or adidas advertise their clothing line or trainers so it's up to the consumer to be more responsible with their purchases

Invest your money in property, mutual funds, even bitcoin - you’ll be happy you did in the future

I don’t know what hurts more my perfume hoarding brokenness or your accent but yeah most influencers are just doing their job for money….obviously

You won't be able to have a signature scent if you wear too many perfume. Also i started buying the smaller bottles because 30ml is a lot tbh. And... the best thing is my natural scent out of the shower with deodorant. Smelling like nothing is the sexiest thing to me

So true ive been saying all this in the comments on there videos daily for years and they never clap back lol im succeptible to falling for there lies because im really fussy with fragrances and i have an addictive personality so i have over 1000 dollars in samples i didnt even like lol im a guy so i get all my reccomendations from gents scents, chaos fragrances, curly fragrances, jeremy fragrance etc, bunch of sellouts for sure

People need to stop with these BS videos about influencers influencing people. They’re influencers right? When you go to buy a car or just look around the car salesman is to influence you to buy a car right? This includes: houses, clothes, shoes, hair, appliances, etc…there will always be influencers so get over it, and take accountability for your own actions, and stop blaming other people for your actions. People can suggest that you’re jealous b/c you have a small channel, and don’t receive PR. You’re making a video about influencers lying about perfume, and influencing people to buy perfume they don’t need…..so what are you doing? You’re influencing people to not get into this addictive behavior, so you’re influencing right? Whether it’s good or bad it’s still influencing someone. People please hold yourself accountable for your own actions and get help if you need it!!!!!!

This used to be me with makeup subscription boxes and makeup/sephora/ulta. I also consider myself a perfume head, but the perfume collectio never got out of control because it's just too expensive. I have maybe 20 right now, a few are still in the boxes. Just yesterday, talk about timing, I got an ad on Amazon for Flowerbomb and noticed that the prices had increased quite a bit. I always thought it was an overpriced perfume(i love it, don't get me wrong) but just thought it was too pricey. I have one 1oz bottle that I got with a Sephora Sampler, but I definitely will not be buying a new one once that one runs out. Anyway, i totally understand how you can get to this point. If it hadn't been for the pandemic, I probably would still be buying tons of makeup. I have sold a ton of my collections off. I still have some more collectible makeup that I'm getting ready to sell(of course, stuff that I never even used). Everything is too expensive now. Im using what I have from my makeup and fragrance and not buying anything I dont absolutely need or have to have. I will say this, I tried some of the Good Chemistry perfumes at Target and I really liked two of them, so I may purchase the one I cant stop thinking about, but it's very affordable. Good luck to you, being self aware and deciding to make changes is the first step to overcoming these shopping addictions!
