It’s been more than a year since my Anti-Birthday Haul, the video where I shared about my fragrance addiction and the emotional spiral behind impulse buying

Now, a year and a half later, I’m reflecting on that journey… and yes, I’ve been sampling tons of fragrances again. But this time, the experience feels completely different. Intentional, mindful and free from the old “must buy now” pressure.
In this video, I’ll share what’s changed, what hasn’t and the simple SEW method (3 questions) I use to keep collecting meaningful.
✨ I’d love to hear from you what kind of content would you like to see next? And please share any tips you’ve found helpful for keeping an intentional fragrance collection.
Thank you so much for choosing to spend time with me and for subscribing ❤️🤗 We’re now 3,000 BFFs!
