My Collection.

I have bipolar type 2, and have semi-annual hypomanic episodes.

One feature of these periods is hyper fixation and exorbitant spending on new hobbies. I've been obsessed with flower arranging, painting, interior decorating, long distance running, baking...the list goes on. But, my great fragrance acquisition of 2025 is the only one I don't regret after coming back to sanity.

Admittedly, all of these were blind buys because I loved the pretty bottles. But after joining the community and learning more about fragrances, I've really enjoyed the collection that manic me put together. My favorites are Clean Skin Reserve, and Mark Jacobs Perfect EDT.

I also have mild OCD tendencies and love to arrange things by colour. I would ask what my collection says about me, but I already know it's mental illness lol

Thanks to this group who has helped me make lemonade from lemons. I've truly found a love of fragrances here.
