Penhaligon | The Scented Hound

For all of us who love fragrances, the ultimate dilemma is whether we should or should not spend our hard-earned money on purchasing new scents when we already have an extensive collection that could last us for a lifetime. But when we find out that one of our favorite retailers of high-end fragrances has a 15% off online promotional code, the tug of war really comes to the surface. I found out that MiN New York presently has a 15% off promotional code that as far as I know, has no expiration date. So that means it could be good for one day or one month. In looking at the store’s online selections I am wringing my hands trying to decide of I should purchase a 50 ml bottle of Penhaligon’s LP No. 9. Now, I haven’t ever sampled this fragrance and have only read reviews, but sometimes it’s just fun to purchase something sight unseen. In the past when I have done this I’ve been happy with my purchases, with a few exceptions. Of course there is more to this story. As I hadn’t added anything to my collection since Valentines Day (ok, I know that was only 3 weeks ago… but that was a gift), after sampling Ambra Nera by Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561, I found that I was craving this fragrance so much that I went ahead and purchased a full bottle. As I type this, it’s on the UPS truck making its way across the country. So do I really need another purchase? No. Do I really want to make another purchase? Yes. Should I make another purchase????? Thoughts?
