You think designer houses set the real standards in pefumery.. DIOR, CHANEL, YSL, BOSS, PRADA.. that's all you need.

You believe "wearability" beats "weirdness." if it's too experimental, it's probably not worth it.

You roll your eyes when someone says "It smells too mass-appealing." That's the point, right? to smell good to people.

You'd rather buy 2 new desginer bottles than one overpriced niche that lasts the same.

You say: "Why spend $300 for a scent no one compliments on?"

You think marketing and bottle design from designer brands still outshine most niche houses.

You believe the niche crowd can be too dramatic about "art" in perfumery.

You secretly think niche perfumes copy designers and not the other way around.

You trust your nose and experience over hype.. and don't care if others chase rare, hard-to-find bottles.

You love the balance of style, recognition, and nostalgia that designers bring.. of part of your scent identity.
