Good day everyone,
I started the perfume journey around a year ago. I mean the real journey: the one you know there's more to spraying something just not to smell neutral, or just having perfumes coming from Christmas gifts.
I have dedicated most part of this journey to getting decants and testing out as much as I could. I am also in a Spanish group where we help each other, swap, and sell for friendly prices, just for the sake of sharing our hobby.
But the last two weeks I felt not wanting to discover anything else. This happened to me after I tested a couple of perfumes I hated with all I got. But it's not about the perfumes, because I can discard them and that's it. I can't really tell what happened to me, and that's the reason I am writing here.
Then, there are the perfumes I test from the decants I get from said group for a good and reasonable price. There are hundreds of them I like, but 98% of them end up being just that: perfumes I like: NOT PERFUMES I LOVE. I do havemy list of perfumes I love, so I definitely know how that feels like, in the same way I know I haven't been feeling it when I test new perfumes lately.
Is there a problem with me? I don't think I am bored. I love perfume just the same as the first day of my journey, but I certainly feel reticent to try anything at all. I even wore perfumes from my collection again, and now I want to sell half of them. Oh, yeah, they are different propositions and also got ratings above 8.0 in Parfumo and other websites, but they won't make me smile or wake up wanting to spray it with pleasure.
It makes me feel bad that I want to kick them from collection, and this feeling comes along with the discouragement I'm talking about. It's like I've become impatient and closed-minded, considering the massive newcoming fragrances. It feels... overwhelming? Have you had a similar episode on your fragrance journey?
I thank you in advance for spending your time reading my words and feelings, and all the answers you may write. Thank you.
Attentively,
Bodomic
