Is having three perfumes greedy?

How many perfumes do you have? Normally I have one day perfume and one going out perfume (which is seriously underused at the moment).

Now I'm about to buy a new bottle of my usual perfume but I also want to try another one - I cant help but feel kind of greedy though?

It would be too many for me, but YANBU if it's something you will use and won't get wasted.

I have 10 on the go atm 😂 I get bored of scents so like to rotate

I'd never buy one without trying it first. Loads smell horrible on me.

But greedy is an odd word to use in this scenario..

I got about 10.
But I get bored easily with them and keep changing and discovering new ones.
I never buy a big bottle as I know I won’t like it after few months, even I’m in love with it now.
I hardly finished ever a full bottle.
I got some which I came too as my favourites.
Last year I fell in love with Dior Forever and Ever so I bought 100ml as only this size is available.
It’s gorgeous stylish scent but now I am not so keen and only used about 10% so far, so will be selling it soon.

It's fine but I only ever have one on the go because perfumes don't last forever once open. Usually around 3 years or less.

I ordered mine from Boots yesterday and got £20 off with a promo they’re doing.

@londonmummy1234 it depends how you store them. I'm wearing a perfume today that was limited edition 2008 and smells lovely still!
Cool, dry place, out of sunlight and in the box helps

I have some vintages from the 1960s. They're pristine. As others have said, it's in the storage.

I've never knowingly smelt it!

But have you knowingly dealt it?

I have 3. All Jo Malone and I combine them in different ways.
