My Dilemma - stock up on frags for office wear?
10 years ago
When I look at my ever growing collection of decants and bottles, I feel that my tastes are evolving from more ethereal and light (Ellena et al) to the heavier, sweeter, smokier, butcher, whatever - less wearable ones.
If I want to classify my current collection into 'appropriate for office wear' and 'not appropriate for office wear' under the condition that my office is currently in China, where wearing perfume is not so popular yet, I end up with a lot of beloved scents seem not so appropriate for office use. And that's a problem indeed, as I spend most of my time in the office. During the week I normally don't go out. And if so, I won't change my scent but just keep wearing my SOTD.
So, lot of my jewels rarely get the opportunity to be worn which is a real shame. I try to make more scents appropriate for office use by just applying very sparingly. But thats does not seem possible in all cases. For some heavy frags one spray is already strong.
Should I buy lighter frags in future even though they may have less appeal? And I think my collection is pretty big already, I don't want to buy that many fragrances any more but rather use my current collection. Do any of you experience similar situation? How do you deal with it?
