Money spent on fragrances vs money spent on clothes

[Bokchoy]

What would you say is your ratio between money spent on

Fragrances vs Clothes (including shoes, accessories but not jewellry)?

For me, over the past couple of years... probably 1:10 to 1:12.

[Primrose]

I don't take stock of clothes versus fragrance. Hard to quantify this.

Both are an absolute necessity!

[Bokchoy]

Neither do I, but not too hard to estimate through memory.

[easyfish]

5/1

[hednic]

Don't keep track of my expenses shelled out regarding fragrances or clothes.

[Ivory88]

If I had to take a stab, probably around 3:1. Factor out the horribly over-priced concert T-shirts, and maybe more like 4:1.

[Slushiex3]

hmm probably like 10 : 1 haha, because i go to the gym everyday so i just wear white T's everyday, no point wasting 2 shirts in one day, (buy in bulk, 6 shirts for 17 bucks) haha. I get a new pair of shoes maybe once every10 months or so. Most of my money for clothes go to emporio armani boxer briefs for those nights. ;]

[dreamer81]

My money spent on fragrances vs money spent on clothes ratio is like 1:1, but it have to change. Variety and quality of clothes is much more important for everyday life than colognes especially when it comes to women.

[jimihendrix1117]

I havnt spent a cent on clothes in maybe a year. On the flipside ive spent at least $1000 on cologne. I dont care about my clothes too much. Ide actually rather wear thrift store fits than i would designer clothes. As long as my face looks good and i smell great theres no need to show off with my clothes

[30 Roses]

I don't keep up with clothing styles, only wear what is comfortable and, as a stay at home mom, do not need to dress up every day. I use clothing until it wears out or stops looking right (shrinkage etc.)

So I spend much less on clothing than on fragrance. I'm sure that will change somewhat when I return to work, but I will still probably spend more on fragrance.

[MikeNY]

Clothes?

[tott]

I spend too much on fragrances and too much on clothes/accessories.

[blackened]

before (3-4 years ago) the ratio was 1:10 , now is just the opposite 10:2 for fragances

[Emlynevermore]

I smell great but I wear no pants.

[cello]

Uhm, Emlynevermore......"it's time to wear the pants!"

[alfarom]

I smell great but I wear no pants.

ditto

[Diamondflame]

More on fragrance than on clothes. But now that I've acquired some very good fragrances, my sartorial wardrobe needs an upgrade. Damn you, good fragrances...

[Mimi Gardenia]

I definitely spend more on fragrance than anything else. *LOL* I buy clothes if I really really like something and of course I have to have my cosmetics and skin care but .....perfume first !

[Dorje123]

Wow, interesting... I spend way more on clothes, but I can go a long time without buying clothes if I don't need anything. I am currently buying frags on a more regular basis but unless you're buying exclusively high end niche products it isn't nearly as expensive as clothes. I mean, a designer pair of pants can cost $150-$300 or more while the same brand's frags are $50. I shop discounters too, but even the last shirt I got at Marshalls was $50 (reg $150).

IMO, clothes, shoes and grooming have more of an effect on how you are perceived than frags. For me, a big part of my interest in frags comes from the differences in how you are perceived by others while wearing them... I find it amusing.

[Bokchoy]

Wow. Verysurprising how many people spend more money on fragrances than clothes, and by such a wide margin too.

[pawful]

this year i have spent way more on clothes than fragrances. But then i havent needed to replace my shoes, which is always a large percentage of my clothes. But I definitely smell better than I dress.

[timaru]

5/1

Sounds about right

[dacha]

5:1 and I'm being conservative!

[LOST!]

Good question... Before this year, it'd have been 1:10ish as I'd maybe buy 2 scents in a year, whereas I'd buy clothes or footwear every pay day... This year has gone full turn. Hardly bought any clothes. But been buying up to 6 frags in a month. I even bought a shirt a couple of months back to suit the frag I'd just bought!!

Currently it'd be around 6:1

[Sunsetspawn]

As long as my body is right, clothes are worth fuck-all to me.

[Cornflake]

Probably 2:1 clothes to fragrances

[Suppressor]

Clothes?

² !!

[Galizur]

Fragrance to clothing/accessories ratio?

1:7, I think.

On a side note, the money I was supposed to be saving on clothes (lost weight a couple months back and need to buy fitted jeans, etc that was to be spent on Father's Day - waiting on deals/bargains for that weekend) end up going to Creed Aventus 120mL flask. lolz

[neo_angel]

i smell great but i wear no pants.

lmao!!

too much:too much (and i love it)

[silentrich]

I don't spend a lot on clothes as my wardrobe is mainly t-shirts, polo shirts, cargo shorts, khaki pants, and jeans. Shoes is a different story. I only wear Ecco brand shoes because I'm flat footed and they're the most comfortable brand for me. Problem is that they cost $150 to $300 a pair so I guess it's about even with fragrances.

Are the newer Eccos durable as far as sole wear? I have bought a few pairs in the past but found their sole wore out really quick, one pair Ecco even replaced for me because they wore so fast. I have a pair of sandals with a black sole that seem very durable, the Eccos I had that wore fast had light-colored soles...

[vox]

5 (frag) : 1 (clothes) for now, maybe it'll change to 1:1 by the end of the year cause by math i'll have enough frag that i want by the time on december.

[MikeNY]

I went to work today wearing a burlap sack and smelling of Windsor.

[Galizur]

Gonna start buying clothes more now than fragrances. I've way too much large clothes that I feel like I'm swimming inside them.

Cheap Old Navy shirts, a pair of Levis, a pair of Nikes, and a dash of Aventus (or /VIW) to brighten up my night/day would be most ideal right now. lolz

2 clothes: 1 fragrances

[Gekisen]

I feel like I don't have the money to dress well. Yet I find myself making sacrifices to obtain frags...

[Pour_Monsieur]

I used to spend a lot of money on clothes , one brand in particular but in the past couple of years the frags have taken over

[Ken_Russell]

3-4/1

I haven't had a problem with any of mine, but I've heard that they had problems with the soles actually falling apart because of some biological process I can't think of now. I have 2 pair of business shoes, 3 pair of sandals, and a pair of open toed running shoes and mine show hardly any wear. I have an Ecco outlet store a couple miles down the road and they'll take back anything and from what they've told me this is company wide.

[StewartGallacher]

At least ten times more on clothes / shoes than on fragrances.

[teardrop]

I have spent hardly anything on clothes for the last couple of years, but bought a lot of perfume. I wear a uniform for work, so l don't tend to need new clothes that regularly. But it's getting to the stage where if l did go clothes shopping, l wouldn't know where to start! l did buy a new winter coat last December, & last month l bought new work shoes, flip-flops, & a new bag, but only because my old ones were falling apart.
On the whole, my perfume:clothing ratio must be somewhere between 10:1 & 20:1, in terms of numbers, not money spent.
But what the hell, as long as l smell good, l'm happy!

[Diamondflame]

Lol. That should land you some votes as Creed's No.1 Customer of the Year.

[dwrestle]

Way more on fragrance. Dressing up for me means wearing a polo.

[PradaG]

I can throw an outfit together that's worth more than my entire collection and I have multiple $200+ bottles.

[fragranceman88]

My fragrances FAAAR outweigh my clothing purchases.

[calero]

I alternate between the two when it comes to spending money.
This place has great deals when it comes to clothes...and you won't have to worry about whether or not they're legit:
