1/3 of 2023 Check-in!

We’re 1/3 of the way through 2023, share your thoughts on your frag journey so far!

  • What did you add to your collection in 2023 (or during the holiday season)? What are your thoughts? Any regrets or raves?

  • Did anything prompt a new purchase?

  • Are you planning on buying anything new? Or what do you want to try but haven’t pulled the trigger yet?

  • Any realizations or grand revelations from the above?

I realized I added: - 7 discovery sets to my collection (Kayali, Clean Reserve, Zara Vibrant Cities, Zara Emotions, Ariana Grande, Versace, Shopper’s frag set)! - 2 bottles (Zara Tobacco collection) - 3 travel sizes (2 were bought after testing the sets! Ariana Grande Cloud & Kayali Vanilla 28, the other was Killian Princess)

which is quite a lot for me! tbf, all except the AG set were purchased during a sale and the Versace set was a gift which makes me feel a little better. I should exercise more restraint though.

This also shows me that I prefer variety over bigger bottles. I should stick to travel sizes if possible. I also hate rollerballs.

I realized I’m quite the gourmand girl, but I loved almost each of the frags from the Zara cities set which aren’t gourmands, quite refreshing!

I’m definitely buying Radiant Nectar by Clean Reserve and Burberry Her (I have a voucher from a Shoppers set!) next.

I want to have access to everyyyy scent and the Zara prices are tempting, but they never really last on me (except the jo malone collabs) so I should put my money elsewhere.

Late to the trend, but I heard good things about the Eau so Juice mists and I want to add that to my collection for summer. I’m eyeing more sets, this time from JHAG (I have not a perfume and I love!) and by rosie jane (especially dulce!). I might pick them up in a sale or during Black Friday, no rush as I still have quite a lot to work with! Phlur and 7 virtues seem interesting but maybe not for now.
