Idk this feels like kind of a weird one but I've noticed that no matter if I use BdC, Egoiste, any Allure fragrance, I only really love them after application. After that they just kind of disappear, or I do smell something but it doesn't give me that same sexy dry down feeling that I get from so many other fragrances. Sometimes I'll use a fragrance because I know the true scent will kick in 30-60 minutes later but I don't get that with any Chanel offering that I've tried

Sometimes I get the urge to just sell everything, every hyped LV, tiktok fragrance, dupes, all that stuff, and to just use AdP Colonia Essenza. I have a decant of it so I know exactly what it smells like. It gives clean pressed clothes, groomed face and hair, you don't give a f about fragcom you just smell good all the time every time. It's a bit "boring", like it smells like a bar of soap, but tbh I think it mogs.

Ich stehe vor Unterzeichnung eines neuen Arbeitsvertrages. Ich bin nicht EU Bürgerin, verheiratet mit einem Deutschen und lt. Aufenthaltstitel bis 10.02.2028 befristet erlaubt eine Erwerbstätigkeit auszuüben. Der Reisepass, auf den meine elektronische Aufenthaltskarte ausgestellt war, ist bereits abgelaufen. Ich habe jedoch einen neuen, gültigen Pass und der Bürgeramttermin zur Übertragung der eAT auf den neuen Pass findet noch vor meiner Einstellung statt (1 Woche davor). HR zweifelt jetzt aber meinen Aufenthaltstitel selber an, obwohl auf der Rückseite steht "Titel gültig bis 10.06.2028. Erwerbstätigkeit erlaubt". Und verlangt jetzt irgendwie ein Sonderschreiben vom LEA, dass das auch wirklich stimmt. Ich verzweifle langsam daran, die sind hartnäckig und verstehen es irgendwie nicht. Oder liege ich falsch? Sogar die berlin.de Website sagt, dass ein abgelaufener eAT nicht bedeutet, dass der Aufenthaltstitel selber auch ungültig ist.

I often buy fragrances that are expensive (like Imagination for example) that I think too much about, watch videos or read about, and try not to overspray or empty so fast. But the last fragrance I actually used until the bottle was empty was CDNIM. I never thought or ruminated about the fragrance, I just sprayed it and went on about my day. I always just liked how it smelled and that was it, really. I kinda miss being able to do that with pricier frags. Just being able to use and experience the fragrance, no thoughts about price tag or other people's opinions

Honestly I am so fatigued by fragrances. They take up so much time and space in my daily life, it's draining me more than it gives me joy tbh. I've been collecting fragrancecs for 13 (!!!) years now. I have gone through dozens of different frags. One that I will always keep is Platinum Egoiste. It reminds me of my dad, my uncle, it's a fragrance that's always been around in my family and that I have great memories with. But it's not "my" fragrance. I wear it when I'm just at home or running errands.

I want to keep Imagination or L'Immensité as my own signature. I currently own both, but I want to make the concious decision to get rid of both and buy the 200ml bottle of one. But I hate the fact that feeling unsure which one to wear every morning is even a thing in my life. It's ridiculous. But I can't decide. I just want to wear one, always smell good and appropriate, and that's it. Stop throwing money down a bottomless pit. Imagination smells "prettier" than L'immensité. L'immensité is the perfect "slick and professional" type fragrance, but it's more "generic" than Imagination.

Have any of you ever felt that way before? Honestly when I think of other people wearing fragrances, I associate them with ONE scent only, and I think that's kinda cool.
