Beauty is pain and smelling good is a luxury. Two “truths” of my teenage years spent a frankly irresponsible amount of money at my local Lush, wincing at all the wax (Last scent was my drug of choice for many years).

It’s my vice, but it’s also expensive. Actually it doesn’t have to be that way.
You’ve probably seen an explosion of perfume ducks invading our feeds.
There’s camo in everything: Baccarat Rouge 540, Black Opium, Tom Ford. For perfume lovers like me who like to change up their scents, this is a very exciting trend. I choose different perfumes depending on the weather, my mood, and the clothes I’m wearing, but owning multiple perfumes can be expensive.
