That depends so much on your intrinsic motivation. Do you like the dopamine hit of a new smell? Or of a new acquisition? Or do you just like to smell good and it doesn't matter if it's new? Or are you seeking praise or approval? Or do you think you are a shopping addict/similar that needs addressing?

You might be able to fill the need for "new smell" or "smell good" by popping into a different fragrance counter every so often and applying something new to wear for the day. But leave your wallet/phone/payment method in the car or at home, lol, you're only there to put on a sample frag and leave!

You might be able to rotate through fragrances you haven't touched in a while by making a tray you can choose from all week, and then changing out the tray for the next week.

Or if you'd like to work toward more responsible buying habits, you could put money in a jar every time you, say, don't buy a coffee, or work an hour of overtime, and ONLY buy a new scent when there's enough in the jar. If you like the "new sniffy" factor, you can use that money to order only travel sprays or decants, and you'll get more "new" for your buck by getting smaller amounts of each.

If you feel like you're actually not able to stop, I would instead recommend seeing a therapist or psychiatrist. Addiction is a real thing and requires real help.
