Great content! I think she actually meant barrakat which is the dupe for BR540 😂 most people buy this. Once I over sprayed elie saab girl of now and my manager picked up on it (who hates sweet frags) i so embarrassed, never again! Now my whole perfume taste has changed into office friendly scents with gentle impact. I now only own 5😂🎉

from 3 to 6 fragrances and it's enough, do not spend more money on something that is not necessary for living, once you realize this, you free yourself of this useless and worthless hobby, that takes you to nowhere ........... get 3, 4, 5 or maybe 6 and you are done.

Wow! A strong opinion but I understand your reasons. I think for a lot of people it brings a lot of joy, life can be tough and hard going. I think the issue I’ve had when buying too much especially in a short space of time is you can’t really enjoy your current offerings and forget what you even have. But yes an expensive hobby….. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😁

@@I_am_gids Please don't misunderstand me, I love fragrances, especially aftershaves over colognes as I must use something on my face after my daily morning shaving rituals, and I have had a lot of different fragrances back in the day, now I'm almost 62 years old and I still love to smell great, but in real life "it doesn't matter if we wear fragrance or not ", if it a personal pleasure it's ok, to please the crowd it ain't necessary as nobody really cares how you smell, then as I stated before "it isn't vital or indispensable to life" personally I think and believe satisfaction and happiness must be achieved by enjoying simple things that don't hurt others and that leave your good memories in other people's lives and not something as superfluous and shallow as how good I smell when I was alive. But you do as you feel it gives you what you are looking for. Happy day for all. 🚵‍♀️

Nice picks! I have something a bit different to ask, but you’re such a good speaker I’d be curious to hear your answer: Let’s say you come home and catch a whiff of a funny smell. How would you react? Would you need to find it or would you just try and cover it up? You can’t find it and the smell gets worse. How would you go about locating the source? How much would it annoy you? Any good stories about you having to sniff around for the source of a strange smell? Cheers 🤟
