Hi guys!
I have come to discover what causes lack of joy for me with my collection: I don't crave for a certain jus as much as before.
And I find I miss the craving ... the 'looking forward' to the satisfaction you get from that one specific jus.
Instead I crave for something new, whereas members of my collection can satisfy the craving.
So here is my plan:
where the same fragrance for a week.
I currently wear 2.5 fragrances per day on average.
Why?
I have realized we crave a certain jus because we 'know' that jus well: all the facets, nuances and characteristics that make us desire it.
It follows then that if we don't get to know a jus enough, we might never clamor for it (like we do vintage formulations).
I got to know my collection when it was small and each member enjoyed a fair rotation.
I now have so many, some worthy jus are simply neglected.
So by wearing the same jus for a week, I hope to get to know it better and therefore create a stronger scent memory which should lead to future cravings!
Maybe I setting myself up for failure. Maybe our noses drive so much curiosity that one deliberate scent in 24 hours is not realistic, let alone a week!
I will try.
