Yazhini ManimudiKudos to the people who buy one perfume and are perfectly content with wearing it everyday, but that couldn’t be me. Some of us can barely leave the store with only one bottle and that’s only because of the state of the economy. It’s also hard to commit to just one bottle when you’re in the store falling in love with three perfumes. Do you get bored easily when you buy a full bottle of perfume? Do you need more than the 3 ml sample vials to test a perfume before buying it? Are you on the lookout perfumes as a gift?
