Getting really into them rn in a way that is so confusing to me.. loving and wearing gourmand perfumes just goes against everything I thought i knew about myself which is kind of beautiful actually. We can continue to surprise ourselves every day :)
I think vanille 44 may have been the gateway drugš² Iāve been loving kyse perfumes frangipane al pistacchio. I must say that mixing is controversial but i put it on with some Gaiac 10 this morning and liked it, feel like the nuttiness goes well with the gaiac and the gaiac tones down how sweet the frangipane becomes especially after an hour or so.
I think I like trying this perfume genre that seems to be looked down upon by āseriousā people. Also the kyse bottle labels are so bad theyāre good... Iām kind of obsessed lol

Obsessed with perfume. For a while I was searching for a signature scent, but then the hunt just became too much fun, and now Iāve ended up with a full on vanity tray in my bathroom piled with a different smell for every mood. I used to wear only China Rain, a rollerball scent my mom got me in high school from a perfumery in LA called Spiritbody. I still have a bottle of that, but when I wear it Iām transported to a more insecure time lol. Right now I love Shadow in the Water from Diptyque for when I want to smell clean and romantic. I wear Smudge by Heretic almost every day because itās colder out and it makes me feel so warm and cozy, like iāve been sitting by a fire all day, and like I give good advice and paint landscapes. Perfume is definitely a splurge, but it lasts for so long, and I think itās really special to have a beautiful scent that people can recognize you by. I am going to gatekeep my secret combination of Byredo perfumes that I wear constantly, and Iām sorry about that. Itās just too good and too me.

Oh I'm so about to give you an essay. and I'd be more than happy to help you out with a consultation if you'd like to. I'm going to focus on more easy to find frangances:
š¹ Amo by Ferragamo (my favourite scent)
Sweet vanilla but not your usual overly commercial vanilla, more tonka bean leaning, like italian biscuit with orange cream, some might say. But the heart of it has some sting to it. It's addictive. Smells a little bit organic but not enough to not be called commercial.
š¹ Classic J'adore and J'adore L'or
Fairly synthetic smelling but amazing florals, I must admit that just like le baisser du dragon, it might be too old fashioned but it is very special. Brings me good memories about my grandma. And L'or is experimental for me but paired with any other scent makes it smell amazing.
š¹ Miss Dior with the colored sparks in the fabric bow
Soft and sweet in the most elegants of ways. Definitely not as similar to her sisters but I find it something absolutely wearable for every day and not too overwhelming.
š¹ Olympea line in general but Aqua
Beautiful and special citric, admittedly very synthetic but stays all day, has some punch to it and sharp enough to feel fresh and clean.
š¹ Le baisser Du Dragon by Cartier (Hear me out. I know it smells like it's meant for a different age group, but I promise, a splash of this can be so absolutely powerful)
I disagree with the idea that it is similar to channel NO. 5. I find it deeper and deeply organic. Sure, it is strong, very, but dries sweet and I love it. I love to use it in very important ocations. Unpopular opinion: This is an absolute winter fragrance, not autumn AT ALL.
š¹ Velvet orchid by Tom Ford (Don't put it on unless you want get sniffed by every living being)
This is like the angel twin of black orchid. Might be too exotic but that's something great if individuality appeals to you.Ā But I'm an absolute sucker for orange blossom, honey and rum so I adore it.

it all started with my aunt who has a friend that works at bloomingdaleās and contrabands bottle of testers and pass it on to her to do the trafficking. iām talking niche fancy stuff for $100 or less. thatās how i ended up with an incredible collection and an addiction that iām not proud ofā¦ but once you get into perfume, itās like a whole universe unveils in front of your eyes (nose) and there is so much to experience, so much to taste, so much to learn about yourself, your brain and the strangeness of human olfaction. and the association of smell and memory is one of my favorite things, every single perfume i have triggers memories and feelings in a very deep and intense way. i have no interest in having a āsignature scentā, life is too short. hop on!

As someone who is maybe 2ish connections removed from the situation Im assuming you may be referring toā¦ I am so deeply sorry š hope you know that there are many strangers out there who are rooting for you and think you deserve to be happy and treated well, despite being strangers ā¦
As someone who has been through a lot of heartbreak, the advice already given in previous comments is really great . I think in my experience, having 1 or 2 friends that you know really love you and get you, that you can spend time with even if you are really sad and not contributing much, was helpful. If you feel the need to talk about your feelings try to keep it to those people, or a journal. Once you start to feel a little better going out with more people and being more social can really help remind you of what is valuable about YOU.. what YOU enjoy and bring to the world..
Above all it helped me to remind myself that life is going to go on. You will move on, no matter how long it might take. It might feel like the worst thing in the world but i promise you will get through it. Itās just a matter of time :) be kind to yourself while time passes. I cant emphasize enough how deeply I have felt so heartbroken I thought I couldnt go on. Multiple times. Yet here I am.. and you will be okay too ā¤ļø
