when i was little my mom got this big thing of red velvet scented body wash and i loved it, one time i was pouring it in my hand and it just smelled so good that i closed my eyes and kept pouring it out and smelling it till half the bottle was down the drain, this was also during the point iām my life where i personified my favorite objects so it really felt like i had drained itās life force while loving it the only way i knew how.
this is a cautionary tale about how the beloved is destined to be destroyed by the lover, my mom never got the body wash again:(

growing up my older sister was my best friend & my idol. shes 10 years older than me so she had her own life & lived away from us. But one time when she came back & moved close to us again, I loved to visit her at her apartment until she once again moved away. This time before she left I took a pen from her house because it smelled like her. I remember I had that pen in my bag for at least two full school years, & Iād never use it lest i scrub away my sisters scent. Iād smell it and tuck it in a safe spot in my school bag hoping & wishing hard that my sister would come visit soon. It brings me deep nostalgia and longing whenever the scent wafts in my direction, even today As an adult. My sisters āsignatureā scent, btw? Weed & cigarettes. I was too little to put 2n2 together lol

There have been a handful of occasions where Iāve smelled the now-discontinued shampoo my momās late best gay friend Jackie used (who called me his little bitch when I was growing up and taught me everything I know about style, elegance, and attitude) and it made me cry. The smells of lumber, soil, and wood varnish remind me of the countless hours spent in my childhood with my dad in the greenhouse, the back patio workshop and at various supply warehouses.
The smell of creosote in the desert raināsorely missed and I want to buy a candle or something that replicates this because itās my favorite scent in the world. LāEau dāIssey Pour Homme on a shirt-collar takes me back to the warmth and security of first love and reminds me of what it feels like to be home. Iāve posted that I wear Fracas every time I want to remember a happy significant day so thatās probably my most strongly nostalgic scent.
The smell of old books and cigarettes! When I come into my apartment after stepping out for just a moment after making espresso and the lingering smell makes me feel like Iām in a cafe! The smell of a REAL Christmas tree!
Yesterday at the farmerās market I smelled a butterfly bush plant for sale and childhood memories came flooding back. Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture was my grandmother's signature scent because she liked the Schnauzers on the bottle so Tuberose always reminds me of her + the smell of face powder. I could go on foreverā¦

i was at a party with my parents, i was maybe 9. it was at their friends house, she had been running an illegal day care in her back yard during the summer. it was one of the those parties were all the adults get drunk and the kids get to run in the neighborhood free. we had been playing man hunt all night, it had just turned from twilight to true darkness. i laid in the field behind their house catching my breath with kid toys littered all around me. one of the older girls at the party came around the house and laid down next to me. we talked about the different people at the party, who our parents were, ghosts, the stars. she got up and i followed rejoining the game. i dont remember her name or face but i remeber the feeling.
