/fa/ - Fashion

maybe its just cause im a dumb neet but how do you guys justify spending so much on some of your fragrances? i see lots of people posting weirdo niche shit, referencing a bunch of frags ive never heard of but are apparently common knowledge, and a lot of it being "expensive". You guys getting testers or samples or what? Do you actually go to a department store and walk up to the counter in 2023? Surely you dont just blind buy a frag in the triple digit range?
Genuinely curious about how people here spend/occupation, how they explore/select the frags they have because my experience is more akin to this and its pretty limited >>17558477
