I think that in general, the biggest problem with a larger collection is that you buy impulsively, you imagine situations in which, for example, a particular perfume will ideally suit you, but there are no such situations! Half a day's work, I don't even have time to go out that much, my life is mainly about work and home, and it turns out that most perfumes are like Ferrari in the garage! After all, the consumer society is necessary and imposed everywhere!
It’s crazy timing on your release of this video because I just unsubscribed from most of the fragrance channels and forums I follow yesterday in hopes to slow down my fragrance buying. Thank you for talking about this topic because I find people in this community only really are here to sell something.
Yes..I agree. This hobby " fragrance addiction" can definitely catch up with you and become an issue. I had to make a conscious decision myself to slow down on purchasing back to back fragrances. My pockets will definitely appreciate it too.😅
I started collecting fragrances about a year ago and now have around 100 bottles. It's a dangerous obsession for anyone's mental and financial condition. I find myself buying 2/3 fragrances almost every week!
I got to 30+, realised its going too far and reduced it to 25 then 20 and now 15. I know 15 is still not little but I am actually using them all in rotation and Ive been enjoying them. When I feel like I want something new, I think if it could replace something from my 15 and I really like those 15 so most of the time it stops me from buying the new one. Its been a very helpful system for me so far 😁👍
Congratulations on your new home brotherman. I've been watching you for years and years. I trust your reviews more than any other. Stay strong and stay true to yourself. Thank you for all the videos!
I am only 30 years old currently. And I have about 50 fragrances. I try to keep it within that amount. I have about 15 of each type But you are absolutely right, at some point, you just have to let things go. Sometimes I just give them away to family members and friends, but other times I do sell them off. But it goes the same way with other things in my life. You just have to let things go get rid of things. You don’t need everything in your house. Very good video. This is the reason why I’m subscribed to you are sensible
For me it is very bad. Sometimes i don't have the money for buying what I want. And i fear one day a fragrance that i love is going to be discontinued . So ,it's really nice to have a lot of money. 😊. I'm an ordinary man,I'm not a wealthy man. Sometimes things go very slowly.
The thing that you need to tell yourself is that whatever you do, you will miss out on somethings, and that is okay. Just try to enjoy what you have in front of you. Try to invest your time in learning other skills that will fulfill you or volunteer to help less fortunate people.
…it’s good to keep an eye on things…i know you meant “manual-wind”…i feel good so far this year, i’m aiming at 1 new bottle a month and as of the end of August i have 16 new fragrances…
I have only 9 fragrances which i use my whole life. Sospiro Vibrato , Jo malone myrh & tonka , Initio Rehab , Anfas Salam , Bond no 9 Lafayette Street , Prada luna rossa carbon , guerlain lhomme ideal edp , gucci guilty black pour homme , prada lhomme leau.
I have narrowed down my collection only to three perfumes. Jacques Bogart Signature, YSL Kouros and Guerlain Habit Rougue. I don't want to deviate from them.
I think its a hobby which is not only expensive but also causes dissonance because the perfume doesn’t perform as per expectations than to overcome your dissatisfaction you buy more and the cycle continues. Advice: Don’t buy more than 5-6 perfumes and enjoy them fully also there is seldom any perfume which will preform in all the parameters so don’t overcommit.
Decants are one of the best cures. Buy a 5-10ml and use it just like a regular bottle. You’ll find your self not wanting to buy a full bottle of it’s only a like.
I will smell a fragrance in a store, and think about it nonstop. I won’t stop thinking about it until I own it. Maybe no less than a day later, I’ll try something else, or see/hear about a new one online, and I no longer care for what I’ve been thinking about the last few weeks, and am now thinking of that new fragrance. I can confidently say that anyone that is in this hobby has some kind of mental illness or obsessive compulsion. But the kind of double ended sword that it is, while expensive as a hobby, it literally harms no one, like for example alcoholism or drug addiction. But it’s definitely an addiction nonetheless.
I got my collection from about 5-10 to 50. And now 60. But I'm 100% stopping at 60. If i feel the need to buy one, i must sell one. I've now got a hard rule of no more than 60
I bought for 3 years straight during covid. Have over 100 bottles i think. Stopped and traveled 4 months no buying came home and didnt buy again for a year. Since then ive bought 3 more but im good. No addiction. I buy more ganja lol
If your neighborhood isn't safe. Don't show your house. People can see your collection on youtube and decide to break in. Don't post too much personal stuff on video.

Great video! Need more videos on how to appreciate what we have instead of collecting for the sake of it.

This is very good......!!

Salam brother, hope you're and famille good. Here just to remind you that you are the best reviewer in the fragrance community. Take care brother
We all should stop our addictions.

Please suggest some good fragrances from the Middle East.

Pay your bills, save a little, then buy any and every perfume you want 🥰

thank you from Malaysia... i am guilty as charged 🤦♂
That's why I decided to be a user not a collector and started selling bottles and specially finishing bottles, besides the actual fragrances suck.
There is a lot to cover when it comes to perfumes. So better choose a few and stick with them. It's an expensive world of perfumes.

I dont want to count how many fragrances i have i feel like its around 30-40
Me too about a year ago. Now I have about 160
I got my collection from about 5-10 to 50. And now 60. But I'm 100% stopping at 60. If i feel the need to buy one, i must sell one. I've now got a hard rule of no more than 60
Why 60?
Don't buy anything full retail & buy 1 fragrance every 4 months.
I bought for 3 years straight during covid. Have over 100 bottles i think. Stopped and traveled 4 months no buying came home and didnt buy again for a year. Since then ive bought 3 more but im good. No addiction. I buy more ganja lol
So your addicted to ganja, wich is worse than perfumes.
@@mrxdu681 better than hoarding $100 bottles of undrinkable alcohol.
Not bad if you can afford it :)
Selfish
@@Alm0st999Over 300+ bottles now ❤️ don't even care if they expire, I'll just buy more
well not as bad as a heroin addiction I’ll tell you that much
Real
Why do you hype up everything
Try to talk about negatives of each perfume also
Oh i know its bad, i need to cut it completely i have enough for i don´t know many lifetimes even if my girlfriend and her kid starts using as well

I stop buy fragrance. Hyper Ten out Ten i don't care
Too bad, my 12k goon ....😂
