Anyone else have perfume picking paralysis? 😅

When it comes to choosing a SOTD, I find it's worse than ever now that I have this app. 🫣 I love this app btw, but it's made me notice something about myself.

I am so indecisive and I'm also a people pleaser. And I've noticed that I'll have a "man I know I just wore this yesterday but I wanna wear it again" moment but then I'll wear something else because I don't want to look boring wearing the same thing twice.

Sometimes I cave to the inner voice and am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone! Sometimes I ignore it and I'm just as happy with an old fave.

Today I'm definitely ignoring the voice so I can wear my Hidden Fantasy for the second day in a row 🤭 How about you guys?

    I’ll wear the same thing seven days in a row and post it every time idccccc. But I get you tho lol, I feel that way sometimes but I get in a zone where I’m obsessed with one or two scents for a week and wear them over and over 🤷🏼‍♀️

      I think this is gonna be me this week. I love my signature but I'm head over heels for this new (to me) scent so I'm probably gonna wear it to death 🫣🤭

      Replying to @indigostarling

      I love wearing a scent to death but I also have spurts where I chaotically sample every single decent in my collection lol

    I don’t know why but I actually love seeing people on here wear the same thing over and over! It makes me happy that they found something they love enough to wear consistently. Meanwhile I’m over here chaotically wearing random samples every day and hardly touching my full bottles 🥲

      Hahahah I’m a happy mix of nothing of those lol

    I absolutely love the inspire me feature of this app, because some days I genuinely have decision paralysis between my samples and bottles 😭

    I have felt this before, definitely. Like I have to really Show Up for my daily wear 😂 But I have a few I love wearing on repeat, and the app won’t get a fair read unless I’m consistent and honest about my tastes. I should try the Inspire Me feature soon and see where it leads.

    Me too! I've been more conscious on double wearing now, as your say, I don't want to be boring on wearing the same thing 4 days in a row so now I try to vary more and actually get to finish some perfumes I have 😭

  6. MariSmells@mehsmells

    I actually want to wear some of my scents several days in a row but I live in an area where the weather is unpredictable (e.g. hot and dry one day, stormy the next, and then heavy and humid the next) 😅

    I did, until I wound up getting rid of nearly half my collection after the realization that I often found myself wearing some scents out of a sense of obligation rather than just choosing something I really enjoyed. Instead of accumulating scents that felt very specific setting-wise, I realized most of what I really enjoyed was actually pretty versatile so there was no need to have something to fit each environment variable perfectly.

      I really like this take and it's why I'm going to be donating a lot of my collection :) I've found what scent DNA appeals to me now, so I can be more selective!

    Lol yes I agree with you about not wearing the same perfume again to not look boring 😅 this app has helped me to wear my perfumes that don’t get enough love
