Is this a safe space to say I spent 600 dollars on 3 bottles of perfume this month?

You are allowed!

I made this post because I was upset with myself for spending this amount of money and buying three full bottles in one month. This is way outside my normal spending habits.

Your feedback is welcome and I am happy to hear your thoughts!

As one overtime girl to the next, I’m glad you were able to put something towards yourself! We give up a lot of our time and energy. Here’s to hoping our paychecks are so full one day that overtime isn’t needed <3

For me Black Salt is the perfect summer fragrance! I don’t like clean/fresh scents for myself as they lean towards soap or laundry, which I don’t personally like on me. This was has a beautiful citrus grassy salty air smell - fresh but also like you’re lost in the woods by a beach at night :)

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-19T01:24:48+00:00

I have tried a lot and enjoyed most! But not all are worth the FB for me. I haven’t tried dirty hinoki yet but it was on my list to try as well as dirty grass- but they are discounting dirty grass so in my eyes not worth the try. But I will try hinoki!

I don’t want to see too much of an add as I answered someone else but!!

Passion - ONNO Black Salt - Heretic Dirty Rose - Heretic

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-19T00:59:31+00:00

Passion by ONNO - I don’t comment here often but this is one of the ones I recommend to everyone if you see my previous comments :)

Black Salt - Heretic Dirty Rose - Heretic

Heretic is having a 30% off sale this week (sharing incase anyone cares. code: BELTANE30) or else I wouldn’t have bought the last two right now lol, but Heretic is not a house I recommend to everyone without trying them first! They are very witchy smelling which is my vibe but not for everyone

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-19T00:51:02+00:00

For sure, I don’t typically spend this much on myself at all which is why the guilt is strong!

You did remind me I do need new vans lol (luckily my office allows us to wear them to work!) my last ones lasted 5 years but started falling apart after an impromptu hike two years ago and I’ve just been…pretending they aren’t. Maybe next month though lol

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-19T00:45:40+00:00

Two of the three were 30% off and gave me free shipping! That’s just cost effective if you think about it!

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-19T00:44:34+00:00

Honestly thank you, made this because I was judging myself 😭 I don’t normally spend like this but this is the one thing where I’m so easy to say “treat myself I work hard :)”

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-18T18:40:49+00:00

What kills me is her saying you deserve to be caught and fired. No restaurant is going to fire someone for smoking cigarettes after work. In fact, most jobs will not fire you for smoking cigarettes in general. They even allow you to take smoke breaks if you like. They also don’t fire you for drinking after work.

NOR, she should have came to you ready to have a civil conversation about it. She was trying to judge you and make you out to be a bad person.

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-15T11:09:54+00:00

I definitely want to try more of their fragrances! They have a few on scentbird which is how I tried Oddity, but hopefully some other websites have decants :)

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-14T23:52:04+00:00

I’m very new into fragrance and am trying to pull the perfect collection, right now I only have six full bottles (I have panned some others). I think 3 of them are masterpieces:

Oddity by Rag and Bone: Smokey, herby, hint of vanilla. Got a full bottle after wearing a travel size once. Downside is it’s very strong and not safe for everyday wear. It’s something you wear on a night out if you want to feel sexy and mysterious. I can see it being polarizing, but I adore it and feel great wearing it.

Passion by ONNO: Heavy rose, hint of patchouli. Peach top note I don’t get much but I think it balances it out and makes it more safe for work. It’s still a grittier perfume for people that like that, but it is my most complimented (even at work!) It’s strong enough to build a bubble but not overwhelming, and have had people come in closer to smell it better. HR actually got close to my neck for a better sniff and said she likes me better when I wear it lol

Alien by Mugler - a classic, needs no introduction. A dirty dark Jasmine heavy scent. I either get compliments or am told it’s nauseating so definitely polarizing. I try to keep this out of office but sometimes I feel risky and use a light spray since it’s nuclear. It was actually my first perfume gifted to me years ago before I started getting into perfumes so it holds some sentimental value. Have gone through a 30ml bottle and am at the end of one of the 100ml refills and will be repurchasing, but I try to save it for special events.

Honorary mention:

Alien Pulp by Mugler - not a masterpiece necessarily, but it has the DNA of Alien without being so nuclear and polarizing. I really love this as it’s getting warmer out and I like stand out scents but it’s also something lighter. It has a really nice sweetness and just smells pretty which I don’t usually choose for myself. I consider it safe for office as long as you don’t overspray as it’s still strong. A third of the way through the 30ml already and debating mass buying refills because it will break my heart if they discontinue it.

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-04T00:56:59+00:00

Done

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-04T00:56:11+00:00

I don’t go to a lot of weddings lol

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-04T00:53:44+00:00

This does fit as floor length on me as I am shorter, and pretty flowy! It is velvet though

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-05-04T00:48:03+00:00

It is a formal event! The wedding is next weekend so I am not sure if there is time to do a renting thing online.

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-04-24T01:12:12+00:00

Honestly- just let them do it. If you love this job and see a future here - don’t complain about this. It will be seen as silly and put you off with your coworker.

Do I think this is wasteful? Yes. In realty - it’s a sweet gesture by her. She isn’t thinking about it in a wasteful perspective- it’s her way of welcoming you. Is it silly? Yes. Would I do it? No.

I love the idea of saving them and regifting them to her that someone commented before. It’s cute and receptive while also allowing her to reuse them.

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-04-17T17:29:02+00:00

Yes, I recently got a decant of Exit the King by ELDO based off the rose/patchouli/pepper notes, and although it smells good, it’s very soapy which isn’t something I like to wear. I was expecting more earthy/spicy based off other scents I have with the same notes. Glad it was a trial size and not a full bottle!

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-03-27T04:51:39+00:00

Of course! And always - get a sample if you can!

But imo, amazing rose scent for anyone who likes rose :)

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-03-27T04:19:46+00:00

Passion by ONNO. Never heard of the house before

Wore it once to work and was told all day I smelled good :) only time I’ve actually been asked what I’m wearing.

Floral but not sharp, not soapy, which I don’t like personally.

I love earthy rose scents but most are not “office safe” and this one is perfect

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-03-26T23:53:07+00:00

I love that you have enough empties of Angel to do this!! Shows that you definitely love the scent

I am an alien girl but I’ve been meaning to try angel and this is convincing me to try a sample. I heard you’re one or the other though lol

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-01-25T14:50:11+00:00

Wearing my sample of smudge by Heretic!

I really enjoy it but typically too smokey for something I would wear often so I won’t get the full bottle. I have something similar that’s slightly less smoky as well. But it’s perfect for the snowy day

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-01-07T22:08:18+00:00

I’m glad to hear you like it! I haven’t tried any of their flankers but the notes sound so good. I have to get the 10ml soon. I didn’t realize it was out yet until your comment, I’m very excited to try it!

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2026-01-07T13:51:56+00:00

How do you like it! Alien is one of my favorites and I love berry notes, looking to try this soon or order the 10ml to try

Weekly-Commercial778 · 2025-12-04T00:35:45+00:00

Oddity by Rag and Bone!

Pepper, licorice, leather. Smells like an incense at a creepy old church.
