Elaborate expense

I was really lucky and won a prize where I stayed in a v expensive hotel. Anyway to the point, the shower gel in the hotel was amazing, I am not one to even normally think like this, it obviously was made for me. It smells so bloody good, like what a freshly showered person that has just walked out of the best Beverly Hills hotel should!
I have just used my last drop. I contacted the company and got some samples.
Anyway I looked it up to buy it and it's £25!
We are a one wage family atm and I have to convince OH it's worth it. I do not spend much on myself ever; although have just discovered a serum that I had a freebie from that is doing wonders for my skin and now want to buy (have a debs card from bday I can use for that). I don't buy much make up and when I do I shop like maybelline foundation and get freebie mascaras, shampoos and a lot of moisturisers from my hobby etc (have not bought a mascara for prob 4 years) so really a small amount on beauty.
Should I go ahead and buy it? or is it a waste of money

I think there has been scientific research that shows that food/wine tastes nicer if you know it's more expensive.

I wonder if this gel feels nicer in a luxury hotel than it will when you're using it at home. Also, nothing's as nice once the novelty wears off.

Do they do a perfume or something else with the same fragrance. You might find that it lasts loads longer so could be better value for money.

If it's not going to mean you can't afford food/ heating / roof over your head and you don't treat yourself often then go for it. Enjoy Smile
