Not even a hot take but there is no album that just fucks!!!! as good as depression cherry, it truly just feels like being in love with the world because someone you love lives and breathes in the same timeline as you. it feels like an un-ending supercut of memories playing in a tv deep in your brain. sometimes i think about the red thread of fate with the people you're destined to meet, where no matter how many years have gone by the thread will still connect you two. some nights i listen to this album and i get a visual of how sturdy and thick the thread is from my side, and wonder if its the same from theirs.

I made this because I wanted to remember the full body experience of sweet, uncertain, likely doomed adolescent infatuation. Best listened to while wistfully looking out a window at the rain or while laying on the floor next to someone you’ve been wanting to kiss for years.

Somehow they found the words that perfectly capture what rapturous seemingly life-changing heartbreak feels like

I heard a lot of love songs yesterday, or some mixes at least interpreting love and Valentine’s Day and the like. This came on in the car and brought tears to my eyes. Love can be thick and sweeping, and surviving so much. Sometimes it’s like you’re alone in it all unless you remember to look at each other and live out the end of this world together.
I attached a yt video because the comments always get me. Double recommend reading through them while listening.

Top Recs from @505grapefruit
First one is Chloé eau de parfum: This is how I wish my girlhood smelled like: innocent and naive and angelic and knows no malice. a world before being interested in being perceived by men, just carefree and sweet and soft. a young rose, gentle, powdery and almost rose-watery. dries down with a bit of honey suckle.
This scent brings me back to my frequent trips to a gift store near my house when i was 13, which had spools over spools of gift ribbons. I’d rotate the carousel rack with scientific precision, hypnotised by the shades of pastel pinks. I didn’t grow up going to museums, but what those pastel pinks did to me is probably why people go to museums for an emotional experience. i grew my ribbon collection and life was softer around the edges.
Second layer is L’Occitane Neroli and Orchidée: There’s something about neroli that smells like a WOMAN. This is a classic white flower scent, with a whiff of nectar that feels like a cinematic cut of being on the backseat of a Vespa, with your dress being caught by the sticky summer wind. It dries down like brown sugar on my skin. A restrained sweetness, not saccharine. It’s elegant, romantic, self-assured. If this scent was a movie character, she would be Madame Gina from Porco Rosso.
I imagine our little Chloe girl has grown up and finished her master’s degree and is earning her own money. She’s got her life together. She buys herself a bouquet of tulips and sets it at the sunniest part of her living room. She’s intelligent, but never let go of her lightheartedness. She listens to Chet Baker and dreams of summering in Ischia or somewhere in the Peloponnese.
When layered together, we have the sweet innocence of girlhood to the refinement of self-assured adulthood. They’re an olfactory journey from the naivety I wish I had, to the quiet sophistication I wish to embody. And I’m just a girl with an office job.
