Travel Size Fragrance Appreciation Post✨🤍

I used to be a chronic blind-buyer, but I’ve learned the hard way that a scent I love in the store doesn’t always stand the test of time. Now, I date the fragrance before I marry it. 💍

This doesn’t just stop at travel sizes; I’ve become obsessed with discovery sets too. They are the perfect low-stakes way to explore a whole brand’s library without the "full-size" price tag.

Here’s why I’m officially in my travel-size and discovery set era:

• 🚫 Zero Commitment: It gives me a week (or a month) to see how it actually wears on my skin and evolves throughout the day.

• 💵 Money Saver: I’ve crossed so many "wishlist" scents off my list because I realized halfway through a mini or a sample that I didn't actually need the full bottle.

• 🎨 The Variety: Simply just having options and variety for my signature mood of the day. Some days I’m feeling bold, other days I want something soft and cozy, I love that I don't have to choose just one.

Current favorites in my hand: YSL Libre Absolu Platine, D&G Devotion, and Golden Rule just to name a few. These are not even half of what I own either! 🤭

The Lineup:

• YSL - Libre Absolu Platine

• YSL - Libre Eau De Parfum

• 7 Virtues - Vanilla Woods

• Dolce & Gabbana - Devotion

• Phlur - Golden Rule

• Marc Jacobs - Perfect Elixir

• Phlur - Rose Whip

• Miu Miu - Eau de Parfum
