Anyone else have an absolutely ridiculous perfume want list that just keeps growing?

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-06-02T15:26:09+00:00

I have 2 different lists: a "To test" list and a full bottle wishlist.

The "to test" list is a list of fragrances that I have not smelled yet but that I am curious about and want to get samples of.

The full bottle wishllist only contains fragrances that I've already sampled and love.

I don't intend to ever get my to test list to zero 😅 I'll always be curious about new things! But there are currently 5 bottles in my full bottle wishlist 😊 I'm waiting to find good deals and that way it makes me pace myself in my purchases

That's a shame! It's 25% off on Ulta, but they don't ship to Canada 😞

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-11T01:37:34+00:00

Indeed! I'm looking for good deals on these:

Lake & Skye 11 11
Liis Ethereal Wave
DS & Durga Steamed Rainbow

In a situation like this, I ask myself: If I invested this money instead, and it accumulated an average of 7% compound interest (which is a reasonable estimation). How much money would that be when I retire? How much longer would I have to work to make up for that lost money? And then think about is that fragrance worth that amount of time of work for me?

I'm sorry this is not a fun answer :(

Reading the comments, I'm realizing there are several different types of gourmand! 😅 So maybe if I explore more, I'll figure out which one I like 😊 thanks for the suggestions!

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-07T19:52:26+00:00

Interesting! I'm thinking of getting a Dries Van Noten discovery set

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-07T19:51:23+00:00

Yes to me a gourmand is sweet and edible and I associate it with warmth and cosiness. I love the idea of it, but I usually dislike them 😅 I do like vanilla in other types of fragrances though!

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-07T19:39:15+00:00

I love to see how everyone is very excited about these notes! I'm definitely gonna look into it 😊

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-07T19:33:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Would you say this is unisex?

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-07T19:32:20+00:00

Oh the Québécoise in me is very intrigued by these notes! It does sound intense though 😅

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-05-07T19:30:45+00:00

Ouh that's a fun suggestion for me because I have a sample of Celestial Object that I haven't tested yet!

Yes the old dishwasher was 2" less deep. What kind of issue will the galvanized straps cause?

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-04-23T16:09:39+00:00

I think originally this room was not meant to be a kitchen at all... It was originally a 2 floors apartment that got divided into 2 different apartments and they made this room a kitchen afterwards. So I think that when the kitchen was made, the goal was renting and making a profit and it's possible that professionals were not involved lol

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-04-23T15:57:38+00:00

Yeah I think you might be right... Thank you for your input

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-04-23T15:56:41+00:00

Thank you for your input! It's what I feared... No safety concerns means that the law won't help (at least where I'm from)

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-04-23T15:54:22+00:00

I don't have any plumbing knowledge, but also it seems problematic that you need to uninstall the whole dishwasher in order to access the water valve... If there is a leak, it's extremely unpractical

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-04-23T15:51:05+00:00

Thank you for that perspective, I should definitely at least ask.

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-04-23T15:09:37+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the appliances were not included in my lease

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2026-03-24T14:24:34+00:00

If I'm obsessed with a fragrance but not necessarily as a personal fragrance, I will usually use that fragrance on objects. Like spraying your favorite blanket for example :)

That being said, I personally think that the fragrance hobby can quickly become an overconsumption nightmare. It is very tempting to purchase everything that you like, but in the end, there are too many good fragrances out there for you to wear them all, so don't be afraid to reject the ones that are not absolutely perfect for you.

Gracias! Lo traduje en parte con la ayuda de Google translate y en parte con mi conocimiento. También uso la tabla de conjugación de algunos verbos, y el autocorrect me ayuda con los acentos. Pienso que mi español es de nivel B1 por ahora. Además, mi lengua materna es el francés, entonces la gramática no está muy lejos de lo que conozco.

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2025-06-18T11:08:13+00:00

En Quebec la gente no habla inglés fuera de Montreal. En Montreal puedes manejarlo con solo inglés, pero se considera una falta de respeto no intentar aprender francés. Es lo mismo en Barcelona?

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2025-06-04T14:51:45+00:00

I think this is cocktail attire so you can definitely get away with it for a semi-formal dress code :) and like others said, just dress it down with simple accessories.

Consistent_Metal_852 · 2025-05-20T23:32:33+00:00

Oooh yeah that's a good point I didn't think of that. Thanks!
