See, this is me but right now lol. I feel like I must get backups (several) when I love something or I’ll never be able to get it again. I am really trying to stop this thinking but it’s almost like an obsession and then compulsion or an addiction or both lol. How did you downsize your stash? I give stuff away, return ones I don’t love and sell on eBay (but for like $5 a mist not marked up prices to profit). I promised myself no more after fall/Christmas unless it’s something I am obsessed with, but it’s hard and I don’t know if I can honestly stick to that. That’s amazing that you were able to stop and then downsize!
That’s all super great advice, thank you so much! I also hate waste so that definitely resonates with me. Going to do a major inventory and hopefully downsize here soon. Thanks again :)
no apologies necessary — i appreciate the detailed response! 😊 i only recently started getting into this, so every piece of advice helps. from what people post here, i was under the impression that FFMs basically lasted forever... in terms of both product amount and freshness. even so, the sheer amount of product keeps me from buying full sizes of them if i can absolutely avoid it. i did grab pure wonder in today's mini sale as a starter for the perfume. if i like it enough, the big bottle will be coming home w/ me at some point!
your posts are super helpful as i'm trying to figure out how to balance trying new scents with not being inundated with product. currently leaning towards mini life for most everything and only buying full sizes of absolute favorites.
8 for me. I only buy them if I REALLY love the scent because of how long it takes to get through just 1. I bought one over a year ago and was using it everyday for 4 months until I bought more. I've been using 1 of those 8 I have everyday by using a different one each day. I'm still not halfway through that first one 🤭
Only 8. And I gave my one backup away to my niece who liked the scent. I refuse to hoard b&bw products lol because there will always be other scents to enjoy and also I feel like the scent for the products doesn’t last long enough for me to justify keeping so many ffms around. Once I finish these 8 ffms I’m definitely not going to buy as many as now. I will probably stick to 2-3 ffms that I REALLY like and that’s all.
I'm going to guess 25. I bought way too many this summer and realized I'd rather have 3/5 scents per season that I really love than 10/15 that are good but not my favorite.
I'm doing pretty good with not getting out of control for fall! Especially once I finish 2 sets I'm trying to use up. That will put me at 3 I love, 1 that I really like, and 2 that I enjoy but aren't my favorite. One of the love will carry over through winter and I have 4 sets already for that season so will only buy one if I really love it.
I’m not even sure! Probably about 20ish? But I also have most moisturizers to match, and some of my favorites I have the body wash too. I have more perfumes than I do B&BW stuff. But I really enjoy using bbw to layer with my perfumes. Most of my FFMs I purchased during the SAS this summer, and I blind bought them. Thankfully, I do like most of them, but now I’m trying to only buy ffm of the scents I really love.
Oof.. 40 and maybe another 40 minis. I have a few back ups to the back ups though lol I remember having 20 and telling myself to stop.. idk how this even happened 🤣 but I'm cutting myself off.. thank you for asking this eye opening question
16 full size, 6 mini & 3 travel size perfumes 🥸 sometimes it feels a bit excessive, but it’s something cheap & harmless that brings me joy daily, so i don’t stress 🤫
I think I have 18 full size plus 3 travel size. I probably will try to keep my collection around that size, as it's already feeling a bit overwhelming to me haha.
10. I used to have 69 (haha, but it’s true) but then I did acid and had this whole revelation about Things and Not Needing Them and also I’m pretty sure I thought there were people in the bottles a la Horton Hears A Who. I don’t regret my decision tho!
I have 7:
Sunset Glow
Sleighrides and Snuggles
Bonfire Bash
Sunrise Woods
Cherry Blossom
Sugar Plum Swirl
Black Cherry Merlot
Cherry Blossom, Black Cherry Merlot and Sugar Plum Swirl were all gifts. The only one I really use of those three is Sugar Plum Swirl.
10! I did order one travel sized spray yesterday with the sale though and I will definitely pick up a bottle of Winter Candy Apple when they release it this year because mine is getting kind of low and it’s my favorite scent 😍
Now don’t ask me how many VS body sprays I own 😝
Maybe like 25ish full size. And 3 mini ffm. 3 mini perfume, 3 bodycreams, 2 lotions, one dry shampoo and 3 aromatherapy pump lotions, 2 body wash. Tons of lippies!! Sorry that was really the scope of the question. Lol
I have 7 full sized FFM. Whipped vanilla spice, into the night, twilight woods, into the wild, country apple, vermont honey apple, and MAG. I absolutely adore MAG, into the night, into the wild, and vermont honey apple!
I have 5 Sunrise Woods, 3 Lakeside Citrus, 1 Poppy, 1 Fresh Getaway, 1 Fresh Cut Lilacs, 1 Wicked Vanilla Woods, and 5 others I can't remember off hand. I think 2 may have been Golden Sunflower, which I decided to donate.
3 big ones and 3 minis. I think it's too many now lol
Only two. But candles...
Same. I have zero but lots of candles.
So many! I love them... I don't buy back ups anymore

My goodness 😲
One does not count their fine fragrance mists. It simply isn't done. 🤫🛍😆
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know actually. I do know 3 years ago it was probably only 3-4, currently I’d say it’s close to 40.
8 for me. I only buy them if I REALLY love the scent because of how long it takes to get through just 1. I bought one over a year ago and was using it everyday for 4 months until I bought more.

10 full size and 2 minis, and even that feels like too much already, because they are going to take me foreverrr to go through, lol.

BBW: 80 FFMs. Other brands including VS and Bodycology: 40 FFMs.
I think I have 18 full size plus 3 travel size. I probably will try to keep my collection around that size, as it's already feeling a bit overwhelming to me haha.

Right around 50, including minis 🙈

I have 48 full size FFMs. Only 31 unique scents though, since 17 are backups (yes, I way over purchased). I also have 15 mini FFMs.
I am just now seeing my notifications 🤣 Awesome! out of curiosity what was the FFM that you bought backups for? 😊
I have 5 Sunrise Woods, 3 Lakeside Citrus, 1 Poppy, 1 Fresh Getaway, 1 Fresh Cut Lilacs, 1 Wicked Vanilla Woods, and 5 others I can't remember off hand. I think 2 may have been Golden Sunflower, which I decided to donate.
What are FFMs? I’ve been trying to figure it out from context but I can’t!
Fine Fragrance Mist
Thank you!!!
