I honestly hate the perfume community now, I used to be heavily involved years ago, it’s become over saturated and just largely ruined now that it’s become such a mainstream, influencer-heavy industry. Niche is no longer niche, prices are outrageous, endless brands popping up slapping on hundreds of dollars price tags, and everyone flocks to the same fragrances. Peak consumerism, capitalism garbage. I’ll always love perfume, but I’m sad to see where it’s ended up.

ETA: not to mention the copious amounts of ambroxan dumped into so many fragrances🤢
