i went into jo malone to inquire about this perfume i have been a bit obsessed with (ginger cookie). a girl my age working informed me that it was a limited edition run and they no longer carried it. i was devastated but nevertheless, ended up in conversation with her about how much i liked her shoes and her, my outfit.
“hold on a second,” she went into the back and made me a sample of a leftover stock bottle. i use my little bottle sparingly and think of the kindness often 🫚

i bought it when i lived in canada, just a tiny vile of it, called commodity: gold. it was juniper berries, vanilla, amber, sandal wood and musk. i wore it as i explored the rocky mountains, made friends in the snow, experiencing a sense of freedom i’d never felt before.
i loved it so much and little did i know it would all be gone when i landed back in australia. slowly leaking into a random makeup bag during the 15 hour flight.
i haven’t bought it since, i don’t know why. i think i’m scared that if i smell it again i will miss that time in my life, where i was far away from everything in my life, surrounded by canadian snow.

it was one of the best scents i ever smelled. fresh, clean with a hint of flowery sweetness but so incredibly unique. i had maybe 2 or 3 situations since then (about 16-19 years ago omfg) where someone passed me by and they smelled like that and unfortunately i never asked them what they were wearing. it is my life's mission to one day get a hold of this perfume.

~~~ pub floor lmao; many years of bartending means somehow I have quite a nostalgic association with the smell of beer . Kinda wheaty
~~~ the lush perfume SUPERWORLD UNKNOWN: discontinued. Rip. So sweet, would never wear it now, but was supposed to smell like candy floss at a funfair . Maybe in space ??

the smell of half rubbed in sunscreen, being left to your own devices, fighting with sticks in the woods, mosquito bitten legs, blisters, sunburns, scrapes, polysporin, watershoes

and by that i mean the folks who sit through a whole lecture not taking a note. not a single one. not even because theyre distracted by their phones but literally just because theyre tapped in. im not quite there yet but maybe there is something to it

but not like standing. sitting. youll have to dust your bum from the fallen dried leaves from two summers ago but its part of the charm. take a load off, its been a long day.
