All seniors here please kindly guide me regarding a dilemma I'm facing. When I first started my fragrance journey I was still in my home country living with my parents and did not have any major expenses by myself. I used to work as well and study and I used help my parents with bills as well and then the rest I would spend on myself eg on a new fragrance. I had a collection of 5 to 7 designers back then. Fast forward to 12.12.25 now I'm studying abroad and I bear all my expenses myself and still help out my parents when I can. However, I've seen a huge shift in regard to my mindset regarding buying new fragrances..all my fragrances are almost used up except for the Aqua di gio parfum ;( . I want to buy a new one but now I don't think it is sensible to buy 2 3 as they are a bit expensive here in EU as per my opinion and I have to also save for my own bills and tuition! how do I go forward and have a healthy relationship with this hobby in a way it will not make me regret? I'm thinking about sticking to only 2 or 3 fragrances even though sometimes I get very tempted to buy a fragrance that I wanted for long time or that I used to like a lot! Yesterday I tried out Juliette Has a Gun Ego Stratis and now I'm in love with it but it's 100€ for 50ml 🙃 ... fy I'm 23 , a student nurse and I manage all my expenses alone . Anyone else ever face such situations?

I see this mentioned a lot as a good summer fragrance. However my extensive research shows that there are three editions - the OG, Sport, or N-83. Looking at the notes and reviews I'm leaning toward the Sport but does anyone have any recommendations? At £16 for 100ml it's a no-brainer but after yesterday's plastic card bashing I need to show some level of restraint.

Gents , hope you are all well. I finally bought my first ever aqua di gio yesterday and it's the ADG Parfum the black bottle with white gradient at the bottom written Parfum and I love it soo much. I'm yet to wear it and test it's longevity. But I tried it in the store and fell in love with it. I was planning to buy one for a few months now . And now I don't think I will look around for more frags. I found my signature scent. ADG ! I love love it . It makes me happy guys I can't explain how good it feels ! It opens with a very fresh aquatic kind of salty marine notes and then it becomes a bit aromatic I can definitely smell the woody undertone as I'm sprayed it on my chest just a few mins ago. I hope it lasts long ! My top 5 for now are 1) ADG Parfum 2) Ysl Myself 3) Mont Blanc Explorer 4) Nautica Voyage 5) Dylan Blue I will buy Ralph Lauren black as I've smelled it and I'll call it quits. I've found what I've been looking for. I'm satisfied. ADG has got into my head.

Good evening everyone. Hope you are all well. Let's hear everyone out on this one specific topic that is how much money would you say is a reasonable amount for designer fragrances. I know it may vary from everyone's wants and income but still how much are you willing to pay and justify the purchase. I personally believe anything above 100 dollars or euros and in my country above 10k bdt should be something you think twice before buying. Specially for a fragrance.

Just wondering what everyone’s biggest complement getters are, for warm weather and cool weather. My warm weather would be POLO 67 and cool weather would be Valentino BIR intense.
