Few things happened during this week.
Frank Frank got admitted too the hospital. He was dehydrated and was not eating much.
On Monday he had ultrasound and confirmed that it was a kidney problem. The next day he got admitted to the hospital, which was yesterday.
And the first thing I did after my no buy month was to purchase a bottle of Attaquer le Soleil Marquis de Sade. It was a blind buy, and impulse purchase, and I don't really know why I got it. Anyway, it arrived today.
The scent resembled something I already have in my collection: L'orpheline. Of which the only drawback is its insane projection.
It is not good value for the money. You get more longevity and projection from L'orpheline, meaning that you only have to use a little. But at least it is something I would use for a long time.
Overall I am quite happy with my purchase. Although it was completely unnecessary and I feel like I have two of the same thing. But it's a picture of Marquis de Sade on the bottle, I'm happy to have that in my collection.
As I do not plan this purchase, I have no room planned for it, and I have to squeeze it in the cabinet where I store my perfumes. Now I feel sorry for ruining the perfect organization of that cabinet and for the money I paid.
I often cope with stress by shopping. It was undoubtedly an impulse purchase and I had the thought of returning it the day after.
There is a need for a longer no buy time frame.
I need to rethink my collection of perfumes. In general, I wear them for work, going out with friends and family, and staying home enjoying more unusual perfumes.
For work: Endymion EDP, Juniper Sling, Bayolea
As my working environment is a closed space with air conditioning, I tend to wear less offensive perfumes that do not project too far. I also want the perfume I wear to please the general public, or at least be welcoming.
For going out: L'orpheline, French Lover, Samhainophobia, Alizarin
Hello to my beast mode perfumes. When I wear perfume with my all black outfit, I want it to be as offensive as possible, and scream 'if you can smell this, you are too close'. Yup, a freaking goth edgelord.
Perfumes are a form of self expression, an extension of self, a weapon. What it says cannot stray too far from what you want yourself to be seen as. When the perfume says otherwise, people get confused.
I have too many perfumes to wear at home. I am willing to wear almost anything. I do not have to worry about the perfume saying the opposite of my personality, which is what I tend to avoid outside.
