24 Days of Samples

It’s that time of the year to break out the reusable advent calendar. This year I decided to put a spin on last year’s 24 Days of Vanilla and do 24 Days of Samples. My attempts to adhere to a no-buy or low-buy have been largely unsuccessful. After placing one last cyber Monday order, I decided for the rest of December (or least through Christmas) I would wear a sample a day, as an attempt to work my way through all the samples I accumulate (and never seem to use) and add some variety to my fragrance wardrobe. I’ve been stashing away samples throughout the year, to the point that I don’t even know what I have anymore. I’m hoping the novelty of unboxing a little surprise every day will give me just the dopamine hit I need to keep me from buying fragrances this month. I’m documenting my samples here

I’m sharing mostly for my own accountability and also to see if anyone else is doing a fragrance advent calendar or fragrance challenge/no-buy/low-buy. I enjoy learning about others’ buying habits and I’m always up for learning tips & tricks to save money and find more enjoyment in what I already own. Thanks for reading!
