Hi beautiful. Yes, I'm doing a low buy next year. I want to use my fragrances. If something comes out that I absolutely have to have (not a flanker!), then I may consider purchasing. Hopefully, they have a travel spray and I'll get that. I am getting decision fatigue with all these fragrances and I tend to wear the same few over and over. So, I will start doing a weekly fragrance tray to wear my perfumes. Thank you for all of the great content this year, Brittany!
Yes I absolutely agree. The amount of fragrances that are released on the weekly basis is insane and there’s no way I’m going to be tryna to be the first in line to get it. No ma’am lol. Ima use what I have, keep making my trays and like you said if it’s one that i just have to have and I’m blown away by then cool. I def don’t want to blind buy anymore.
Brittany, I feel you on learning self control! I'm going on a sort of no buy ... meaning I am not allowing myself to purchase ANYTHING ( makeup, fragrance, clothes, shoes, stuff for my classroom) until I pay off my consumer debt. If I buckle down, I am positive I can have it paid off by my birthday in May. Then, I can go all out, but not until then.
I agree with you 100% on blue heart. I purchased it last year or whenever it was first discussed on yt. I just kept hearing about the coconut, and there was no mention then of the saffron. It is a hard wear, and the saffron gets stronger with time. I layer also in order to wear it. But, I will say I get compliments when I wear it. But, I reserve it for late fall/winter for me.
That’s good to know because I was hoping maybe it will get fruitier. I’ll be pulling her out during this season and hopefully I’ll warm up to her. That saffron is throwing me off and I’ve never knew what people were talking about saffron giving leathery and now i do
It's crazy how nice the bottles, packaging and presentation of these middle eastern frags are. Nicer than most niche. I am going low buy next year too.
Yes Nasheet smells exactly like Ani, a unisex vanilla. I decluttered mine due to performance and “This is Him” which I have smells similar with better longevity :)
Nasheet def smells better on skin but it’s scary smelling it straight from the sprayer. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of it. How do you normally wear it?
Hey sweetheart thanks for all that you done this year and keep it going if Lord says the same ❤But I will be doing a no buy for January and then I will be doing a low buy for the rest of the year. I will be enjoying what I have going forward cause it’s just starting to be to much for me 😂. TFS and also no more Dupes for me
Yes, same! I love that we all in the same boat. I have to use what I have. I can go on several trips next year with the money I’ll save from doing a low buy
Happy holidays to you! Chile I had Ani for 2 years and finally let it go. It's very spicy and was leaning too masculine on me. I was hoping the vanilla would arise but NOPE so I can only imagine Naseet. I was going to get that and give it another try.
I’m going to definitely revisit it. I still have it sitting in my closet. I spayed it one about a week ago and it smelled good once it was on skin but like you said it leans masculine and spicy. I don’t mind it sometimes but this one may need a super sweet base
Good morning gorgeous. I need to join you on that no buy. I am out of control with these new fragrances. I just ordered Baciami. I bought the Brown Sugar Babe version and had to purchase the perfume.
Yes let’s do the no buy together. I’m def down to do it. I purchase the oil from BSB as well and was about to look into buying the dupe or the OG and told myself. I gotta get my collection down and start using my stuff before adding more and hiding them in my closet 😖
Khair line is the truth! I prefer all those dupes over the OG! Gucci orchid smells like Mugler Goddess to me. Oud Tonka is my ❤ i went thru 2 bottles this year and ordered 2 when JS had it for $20 . I layered oud Tonka and khair pistachio... Chile!!! COMPLIMENTS always. Empire is better than Xerjoff Lira aka pledge.
I’m getting Valaya Exclusif that comes out next month and Mirage gourmand and the new strawberry Creed and that’s it . I’m low buying for all of next year I still have so much body care I haven’t used
I am def on a no buy 2025; Not only am I on a no buy Im also doing a project use it up. really lost my mind with purchasing perfumes this year....with that being said, I have Kilian's apple brandy on the rocks in my cart do you have that fragrance and would you recommend it? Does it lean masculine?
I sampled the OG, went into Sephora to revisit it and ordered the dupe. On me the dupe leans masculine. I didn’t feel the need to purchase the OG because I didn’t have the same reaction as I did with Angel share. But if you can get a good sale on it then yes, but it gotta be a GOOD sale.
I did the same thing and then filled the spaces back up smh. But the no buy I feel will really help and I’m excited. I don’t expect for it to be easy but it’ll be necessary

I love this idea! And your birthday spree will feel so rewarding! That’s a really great idea. You got this friend! I’m rooting for you
Merry Christmas 🎁
Merry Christmas! I hope you got everything you ever wanted 🥰

The bottles are definitely nice and the presentations lately has been chef kiss. ESP Lataffa
Hi Brit! Yes, definitely going on a no buy! Enjoyed ur haul! Tfs!
Thank you friend. We’re gonna crush this no buy
Yes Nasheet smells exactly like Ani, a unisex vanilla. I decluttered mine due to performance and “This is Him” which I have smells similar with better longevity :)
Nasheet def smells better on skin but it’s scary smelling it straight from the sprayer. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of it. How do you normally wear it?
That Trajan is beautiful!!! I get the citrus really light.
I’m not even gonna start the year as a liar. 🤷🏽♀️😂❤
So pretty. I love it and the price tag was chef kiss!
@ That was a great price!!!

@@facesbybrittany yess same here
Blue Heart smells better on skin. I get compliments when I wear it. I sometimes pair it with other things but I like it.
Do you think it’s an all year round or seasonal fragrance?
Happy holidays to you! Chile I had Ani for 2 years and finally let it go. It's very spicy and was leaning too masculine on me. I was hoping the vanilla would arise but NOPE so I can only imagine Naseet. I was going to get that and give it another try.

@ 😂 For sure. I didn’t know there was a dupe. I need to step my game up, before dropping these coins.
Girl Lataffa dag on tail done came out with it and they’re saying it’s nearly an exact. It’s called Gharam
@ When does our “no buy” start. 😂
❤
Khair line is the truth! I prefer all those dupes over the OG! Gucci orchid smells like Mugler Goddess to me. Oud Tonka is my ❤ i went thru 2 bottles this year and ordered 2 when JS had it for $20 . I layered oud Tonka and khair pistachio...
Chile!!! COMPLIMENTS always. Empire is better than Xerjoff Lira aka pledge.
Oooo I need to try oud tonka with pistachio. I still have both of them macerating but best believe I’ll be trying that combo
Khair gets even better after a month. So much better than Yum. I got a backup of Empire during the restock too. It's a top 5 of 2024 for me.
Agreed. Empire is absolutely back up bottle worthy. Now you got me so excited to revisit Khair next month because it’s already great!
I ordered Gucci Gorgeous Orchid this week too. I was late getting my nose on her 💛
It’s so pretty, full bottle worthy for sure.
I’m getting Valaya Exclusif that comes out next month and Mirage gourmand and the new strawberry Creed and that’s it . I’m low buying for all of next year I still have so much body care I haven’t used
Now why in the world would you tell me about Valaya Exclusif??? Who sent you?! LAWDDDD JESUS! I’m not strong enough for this 🤣
@ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yes ! The notes are on fragrantica already ! I can’t wait
Oud Tonka is duping Velvet Tonka by BDK!!
Thank you. I knew it was one of them but couldn’t recall the name.
Hey Brittany,have you smell Affection by Lattafa? To me it smell like Yum and last all day. I just got Leen by Lattafa and it’s a beast.
I haven’t smelled it. I was torn between affection and Khair and pulled the trigger with Khair because it was on sale

@@facesbybrittany what's the dupe?
Ani is a spicy vanilla
I smelled the OG a while ago and just forgot how spicy it was 😮💨
I will be on a No Buy for a while. I need to give some fragrances away in order to give some attention to the ones I love.
I did the same thing and then filled the spaces back up smh. But the no buy I feel will really help and I’m excited. I don’t expect for it to be easy but it’ll be necessary
