I agree with this video. This happens, and I respect this guy for exposing the truth, much of which I have spoken about here in the brotherhood. Something I wish all of us would look at before we buy and hype. Let's get some opinions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4H_YHmKgjQ

Hi everybody, I have a question to all of you: Being in this brotherhood for more than a month taught me a lot of useful things, the most important is to test fragrances with decants befor buying a bottle !! I bought a bunch of high-end perfume samples—for example, 6–7 from Parfums de Marly and just as many from Tom Ford. On the one hand I say to myself "well made you saved a lot of money" 😅, on the other hand I however spent more than 120$ (High-end perfums 2ml samples around 9$), and sometimes I have the tought I threw away money without having a real bottle in my hand 😭. Where is the right solution, if there is any ? I don't think quickly testing a fragrance in a store can give me the same results and convictions of wearing a decant fragrance for 2-3 days exploring all her aspects. Perhaps the answer is that our passion/hobby is just an expensive one ?
