I love the scent but hate the price!

I'm not made of money. I'm not an influencer. I'll probably never get "incentivised" but I do genuinely love how this perfume smells on me. If I dab it on (there's actually a ton stored in the stem of the lid) I get old paper, clay dust, odd florals that aren't cloying. Like an artist's studio with that beautiful mix of unknown materials and the flowers used to inspire the next piece. I can only imagine what it smells like when atomized and spread across clothing and skin. Probably lighter florals and less of that sweet dusty scent and most likely shorter lived as well, although none the less unpleasant. I think people in their reviews, sometimes forget how fast perfumes leave vs how long they can last when sprayed vs dabbed on. This one lasts a very long time for me and the dry down is beautifully delicately sweet and soft and comforting. In spite of all that praise, I'll risk buying a fake before I ever pay full retail for this WAY OVERPRICED PERFUME. It doesn't warrant the cost.
