Fragrance Acquisition Syndrome

You know you have Fragrance Acquisition Syndrome when . . . (finish the sentence.)

I’ll start.
You know you have Fragrance Acquisition Syndrome (FAS) when you park in the distant-but-free parking lot and walk an extra 2 blocks in extreme weather so you can save five bucks to justify adding one more fragrance in your shopping cart at Nurture.

You start a thread, asking for recommendations. For seasonal scents.

You've just ordered 10 fo's from NG and just refilled the cart with 10 more.

That name was gifted to me by a dear friend when I was still experimenting with making candles and had just started making CP soap 23 years ago. In fact, she was the reason I started making soap in the first place. I could use my other screen name, AutoharpRose, but the “rose” could make people think of fragrance, too. Yes, I love fragrance!

…… you see FO on sale online and share it on SMF - because being sure all your soapy friends know about the sale as a good will gesture surely justifies you buying more for yourself, right? Of course it does!

When you are really really (really) happy when deliveries arrive and no one is there to witness it : )

You mean I’m not the only one? Yay!

When you make yourself conform to No-Buy July but are still filling your cart to place the order Aug 1.

. . . you go through withdrawals after your order arrives and you have finished opening it and smelling all the scents and now there's nothing left to look forward to. Except buying more scents.

.....you go to put your shipment away and realize that you already have three bottles (okay...it was five) bottles of the scent.

When you finally buy. Those scents, you always put in your cart. But delete at the last minute.

Awww - that's sad. So you never really get them?

 

[Ephemerella]

Oh my! Thats like some horrible greek tragedy.

Three months ago I had 30 FOs in my cart. I deleted it down to 10 each month. Now I have them on my shelf to use in soap...lol

I did some organizing yesterday. On one hand I have 120 bottles, on the other hand I didn't have enough to make my husband's favorite soap. Mind you, I just gave about 20+ bottles to my cousin's wife who is wanting to make soap.

FAS. Cannot pass up a sale without trying a new scent or two or five. Teach yourself to make wax melts to use more fragrance oils to make room for more fragrance oils.

Oh no, I did buy them. For some reason. They never made the final cut. At check out time in the past. WELL THIS TIME THEY DID! All 8 of them. Plus, the 6 seasonal scents. I originally set out to buy. These will keep me busy for a while.

Oh Phew! @Ford you know, I had a silly nightmare the other night... so silly.... a big, huge, massive box from a favorite FO company showed up at the door. I was elated! I had the whole house to myself, and a big bottle of wine to revel and delight and take my time with dozens and dozens and dozens of new FOs. I opened the box, and started pawing through the eco-peanuts, and pawing, and pawing, and emptied the entire box, peanuts all over the floor, and there were NO FOs!!! When I woke, I thought of this thread and chuckled.
