I was doing some chores and I ended up washing off my SOTD, which was Mancera Black Noir, so I just reapplied, not a big deal. Then my ADHD brain starting thinking, what would I pay per wear? We have daily routines that have a small cost, coffee, tea, protein shakes, etc, but these are almost always daily, like our frags. So here is my thought experiment with a few test, high, medium, low. Of course these are all subjective High End ======== 1. Mind Games Mentor - $475 2. Curly Fragrance's test for 1ml - about 15sprays I spray this one about 7-8 sprays, so effectively this bottle would get me 200 wears, $475/200 = $2.75 per wear. I think that is a reasonable price to smell that good for a few hours. That costs less than a drip coffee at any coffee shop. Medium ======== 1. City Rhythm 100ml - $190 2. Curly Fragrance's test for 1ml - about 15sprays I spray this one about 7-8 sprays, which gets me about 200 sprays. $190/200 = $.96 per wear, this s getting crazy, you can't even get anything at the dollar store for that! Low ===== 1. Zara Rich Warm Addictive = $30 2. Curly Fragrance's test for 1ml - about 15sprays I put about 15 sprays for this one, which gets me about 100 wears. $30/100 = $.30 per wear,can you even buy anything that cheap anymore? Those numbers, above, assume you pay retail and every atomizer sprays the same amount, but you get the idea. We don't pay retail for most, so the cost per wear is even better. So do the math with what you got and what would you pay to smell that good. For me to smell good and have an olfactory experience throughout the day this is a no brainer, I could wear Mentor twice a day and still be cheaper than Starbucks. What would you pay, now that you do the math and now would you consider nicer bottles, knowing the cost per wear is reasonable?

Looking for the Next House to explore.. Except Xerjoff, Creed, Bond No.9, Amouage, Mind Games, Byredo.. Which Niche House is most interesting to explore and why?

Good evening fellow brothers and sisters. I see I've lost my flame and thought I should come and say something to the group. This time of year is always a very hard time for me on a personal level and most times when I am hurting or struggling on a personal level, I shut down. I'm grateful for this group and for everyone in it, so I wanted to just say something and to let everyone know that I'm okay and will be more active again after the new year. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and smells great everyday!

Some fragrances for Christmas I got from Fragrancenet, and jomashop. It's the first time I have bought from jomashop. The watch I bought didn't come. Do they split packages? Anyone this experience? But I am very happy with the haul! Hermès TDH, givenchy gentleman Intense, and burberry edp for my sons. D and G devotion. For my daughter. And PDM Herod and a decant of amouage reflection man for me!

Which bottle design do you hate the most?
