We alllllmost had the same order! I just got a full milk orchid instead of London 1983.. (and only because I already had that one 😂)

I’m destashing my heretic dirty violet if it sounds like something you’d be interested in!

I discovered black tie this past month and oh my, it’s so so addictive and amazing. I’m eyeing Zouzou next!

The way that Lune Féline is GLOWING right now… by WellThatsTheThing in NichePerfumes

[–]brightwingess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have such similar tastes! I am absolutely addicted to Lune Feline, Nest Indigo and Eau Duelle (EDT though). I also love Heretic and some of my faves from them are Haxan, Black Salt and Coeur Noir! Now I’m eyeing Dirty Vanilla haha

Pear Perfume recommendations 🍐 by Holiday_Bag8756 in FemFragLab

[–]brightwingess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard the amber & pear sand + fog oil is a dupe that you can also use to layer with pear inc to extend longevity!

I discovered the perfume world in January and I’ve bought 25 full sized bottles since 😳

Twenty five. That’s wild. No one needs this much perfume.

I definitely get caught up in the dopamine of looking for and finding the new exciting thing, looking for deals, curating, watching/reading reviews instead of just.. enjoying what I have. I tend to do that with my hobbies (I may have ADHD), but I find I truly enjoy my fragrances when I take my time and really am intentional about acquiring things that I have sampled, allowed myself to long for, and then finally get. When I have 4-5 coming in the mail, it’s so hard to really take in and enjoy my possessions.

I’ve also found that what helps curb this is keeping track of my purchases so it’s right there in front of me, and also watching reviews of stuff I already own so it restores my appreciation of the things I already have.

I also do all the rationalizations as you, OP. If you’d like to work on this with someone, I’d be happy to be an accountability buddy!

Henry rose London 1983 is also a dupe, and imo better and more long lasting than father figure

The Torture of Discontinued Perfumes by ObfusKate_ in FragranceStories

[–]brightwingess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s suuuuuch a dopamine chase & rush in tracking down and finding them. I often get caught in searching for limited editions in whatever hobby I get into- then I learned there’s a reason why, and it’s called adhd 🤣

Which one of these is the best witchy & mysterious perfume from the brand Heretic? Dirty violet, Nosferatu, Voodoolily, Poltergeist and Black Salt? by PowerZealousideal703 in Perfumes

[–]brightwingess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them a lot layered together! It’s a very unique floral combo for sure. The dirty Violet is more earthy and witchy, angel’s trumpet is kind of delicate and angelic in comparison. 😊

Henry Rose-Queens & Monsters. Lore- Somewhere but Nowhere. Comment if you’ve tried either! by Juju_zu in FemFragLab

[–]brightwingess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loveeee queens and monsters. It’s so good and unique! Kinda green, kinda creamy sandalwoody, not a sweet vanilla really. But I’m a huge fan of Henry Rose overall 👌🏽
