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?

Brothers and sisters, do any of you use fragrance oils? I've been layering and enhancing my scents with them to make them last even longer. My favorite brand is FragrantbodyOilz, which I’ve relied on for years. I own over 10 of their oil rollers, each inspired by niche fragrances, and I’ve found them to be reliable though I must admit, their website is quite frustrating to navigate. I started using their oils about a year ago after being introduced to them. So, I’d love to hear from you. do you use fragrance oils too? If yes, what's your brand of choice? Also, how do you like to wear it?
