Aesop perfume - worth it?

Thinking about the Marrakesh. Have worn coco mademoiselle for decades now and really need a change can barely notice it on myself these days.

I feel like this Aesop one is right up my street but it's definitely more than I would usually spend. So... is it worth it? Will I regret it? Can't seem to pluck up the courage to click on 'checkout', need a nudge!

There's nothing else I particularly want.

Not that one! But I love another one by Aesop hwyl. I think they are slightly unusual and good longetivity. Not often discount but I got lots of samples last time I went irl

I love hwyl but it does smell a lot like coal. In a weird/ good way.
it does last though.

I do want something a bit different' I think, so it sounds like it could be that.

I meant I have not tried that one, not don’t buy that one. I’m sure it’s lovely as I smelt a bunch

Why not spend some time trying samples of a wide variety of perfumes?

You don’t have to commit to just one for the next several decades …

Ah I have, so many! Over the last 5 years or so, then end up buying just because I feel sorry for the poor perfume counter assistant who's been standing there for so long trying to help me! Nothing feels quite right to me though, I feel horribly fussy,

I've actually just watched a video review of the Marrakesh and it's basically sold me. Going to buy it tomorrow. 🤞🏻

Gosh, I haven’t bought perfume in a physical store for about 20 years … Sometime wander into a perfume shop in London (or foreign cities) but I invariably make actual purchases online.

Have you tried Bloom perfumery?
