The best defense is a good offense. Enemies can’t hurt you if they’re dead.
The other side of that coin is dead dps is no dps. If you can’t survive, you need to learn mechanics and/or adjust your build so you can survive better.
Keeping both of these lines of thought in mind, offense usually wins out over defense because killing faster results in more enemies dying, faster clear times, and bigger numbers, which most people tend to prefer. Defensive stats/skills lose value when they’re not being used, where offensive stats/skills always have value.
I forgot who exactly it was, but a woman in my life when I was younger, probably a family friend, told me that less is more when it comes to fragrance. A quick spritz across the neck and right wrist was all you needed. I’m not sure why the right wrist though…
