...or those smaller boxes of different tiny perfumes. Got a Gemini rising and I have multiple tiny bottles in different bags or around the place, so I smell different everyday. Sometimes I forget to put anything on, and that's fine as well.
It's also a fast way to go through different perfumes and figure out what combos you like.

👃a low-cost low-commitment way to smell wonderful scents and discover new brands. i order them from brand websites or big online warehouses like luckyscents or twisted lily. i also keep samples in all my purses, my car, my makeup bag, my bf’s house, everywhere. they’re tiny and perfectly portable so you can always have them on hand in case of emergency. you’d also be surprised how long some of them can last, which is great if you don’t have like $200+ to drop on a full size fragrance. and if i don’t like one i just give it to a friend!

👃from gemini to gemini. figure out which notes you enjoy and try to pinpoint what notes you don’t like. you’re not already on fragrantica or the sniff app, making an account will help you immensely with this! i kind of relate it to when i eat the same thing over and over and i get sick from it. change up your smells day to day and don’t commit to huge bottles. i learned recently that there are people on etsy who will sell tiny little vials from their personal perfume collections, so maybe accumulate an array of samplers like that? when i untethered myself from the search for a signature scent, it found me! almost like how they say don't force romantic relationships lol.

🫧le labo, ds & durga, and plenty of the other indie perfumers sell samples of their perfumes for like $3 a sample! luckyscent.com also has decants of like any scent you could want. buy a sample pack and try different scents out till you find one or two you really like. then think about what aspect of the scent you like, and buy other perfumes samples with similar notes. once you find one you really love, buy a bottle!
you may find that some scents work best during the night but feel overwhelming for work, or maybe they smell great in the summer but are a little too floral and fresh for winter… half the fun of perfumes :)

😵Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

🥪This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
