Bro you gotta go and buy like $200 worth of samples from LuckyScent and Ajavie and then meticulously determine which $450 perfume will become your signature scent. Sadly, I have one for every occasion (including dinner with friends - summer and dinner with acquaintances - summer) but perhaps you can be better than me and just pick one.

le labo, ds & durga, and plenty of the other indie perfumers sell samples of their perfumes for like $3 a sample! luckyscent.com also has decants of like any scent you could want. buy a sample pack and try different scents out till you find one or two you really like. then think about what aspect of the scent you like, and buy other perfumes samples with similar notes. once you find one you really love, buy a bottle!
you may find that some scents work best during the night but feel overwhelming for work, or maybe they smell great in the summer but are a little too floral and fresh for winter… half the fun of perfumes :)

I love fragrance so much but finding the perfect one is on par with executing a clinical trial (in my mind). I get the ick from perfumes easily if they’re not 💯 perfect so instead of committing to a full bottle after trying a fragrance once or twice, I often opt for ordering samples. It’s a great way to trial scents, see how they interact with you, and if you‘re obsessed and heartbroken 💔 when the sample is out that’s definitely a sign…

a low-cost low-commitment way to smell wonderful scents and discover new brands. i order them from brand websites or big online warehouses like luckyscents or twisted lily. i also keep samples in all my purses, my car, my makeup bag, my bf’s house, everywhere. they’re tiny and perfectly portable so you can always have them on hand in case of emergency. you’d also be surprised how long some of them can last, which is great if you don’t have like $200+ to drop on a full size fragrance. and if i don’t like one i just give it to a friend!

as hideous as it sounds, clean your living space, determine 5-10 belongings you wish to donate, go exercise and donate said belongings and then return to your clean home to bathe and relax…
