Perfume Samples, a Cruel Addiction

If someone offered to you an easy way to acquire free perfume in any fragrance of your choice, wouldn't you take it?

Have you always wished to know what Insolence smells like? How about determining whether or not Very Irresistible, is in fact, resistible? Do I? I do!

Over the past two years, I have been able to finagle free perfume samples from Sephora like nobody's business. They're so convenient, you can take them traveling, you can leave them in your car, in a purse, whatevs - you know... smell nice all the time.

This is my problem: I don't like the idea of smelling nice when I know no one will smell me. When I'm alone.... I don't need to use $55/1 oz. (via Sephora.com) on a rainy day when all I plan on doing is going to the gym and cooking for party of 1. As I'm cleaning my closet - which has now been extended out to random parts of my room... I am finding tons of these convenient bottles, all of which are unused.

Plus, aren't girls supposed to have a signature smell? Not an odor - as an Asian girl, I luckily do not sweat that much, nor do I have a necessarily distinctive natural smell. Everything I use is unscented. Ironic, hm? Why do I obsess about unscented beauty products when I am obsessed with parfums? OH dear. So I should just use one. But I can't decide which one. Hanae Mori is nice - but too much vanilla, too sweet = too young.. ack! Not sweet enough and it's not appealing to me. There are day scents and night ones...The choices!

Plus, some people are very sensitive to smells and I don't want to offend with something I think is sexy (like Prada!) and have them rubbing their nose all day/night. AND you're not supposed to wear them to places where you will be with a lot of people because who likes smells to mingle together? [Side note: I am always sitting next to some chick who didn't get that memo and sprayed her whole damn body with some cheap bonky ass body spray. There are rules for a reason!! ]

I think 50 samples is a few too many? My hoarding tendencies are too strong!!! ... Back to my cleaning dungeon :(
