Anyone else enjoy blind buying, like me?

I don't have a ton of fragrances. At last count, it was just over 50. Probably 95% of them have been blind buys. I dunno, I just enjoy the thrill of sitting down, unwrapping the box and getting my first whiff. I have only 2, so far, that I will end up gifting. They just don't do it for me. They both happen to be clones.

FA Paris After Effect...it could be that a got a bad bottle, but I just don't think it works with me. If I can make it to the dry down, it gets better...but, the opening is nearly intolerable for me. It's got a weird mineral spirit like smell.

The other is Arnaf Club De Nuit Untold. I don't hate this one, but I don't love it and I know it's just gonna collect dust. Since buying it, I have purchased decants of both BR540 and BR540 Extrait...I'm debating which one I want a full bottle of.

UPS just dropped off 4 new blind buys, this afternoon. Here's my ridiculously premature, first impressions of each:

Terre Dhermes Eau Intense Vetiver EDP: DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

Eros Energy EDP: Holy Citrus...gym scent???

Luna Rossa Sport EDT: OK, Prada...this didn't blow my tits off like Paradigm did, but it's definitely the lavender i needed.

Le Sel D'Issey EDT: This is...interesting. I've got a lot of family in Georgia Florida, Alabama...this stuff smells like a morning at the beach on the Atlantic coast.

DAMN!!! The Vetiver never left!!!

Have a great weekend, everyone...be safe out there.
