Signature scents

I used to exclusively wear only one perfume at a time until the bottle ran out. This era I wore: Misia - Chanel Smells like a 1920s dressing room with powder and violets and roses everywhere Red Roses - Jo Malone Just the most beautiful rose smell. I would always get asked by taxi drivers what I was wearing when I had this on. Now I've gotten into nicher perfumes that are more unisex and a bit weirder so I rotate them depending on season/occasion/time of day. Current Spring rotation For the office: Morning Chess - Vilhelm Parfumerie It's woody and leathery but also very fresh and green. The creator says it was inspired by mornings in a cottage on the swedish coast. Smelling this at my desk makes me remember the world is a bigger place than emails. For the evening: Mississippi Medicine - DS and Durga Smells like old churches. Based on the rituals of a death cult from the 1200s. Heavy on incense, cedar and frankincense. For walks outside: Sakura - Lush Super clean and refreshing. Feel awake when I smell this. Smells like jasmine and orange blossom and salt. Like being near the sea but also delicate flowers. I used to really love having one singular signature scent (whenever anybody would tell me I always smelled like roses I would reply "yes, so when I'm dead and you smell roses you'll think of me") but the older I get the more I feel like I have more facets of myself to perfume. I like that I can change my mood with fragrance or have some kind of escapism from reality with it.

Lust by lush

my favourite perfume - Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Sandalwood. I love Jasmine and Rose so much, and I love how Jasmine can smell kind of gross. This perfume smells really different on different people and I always inexplicably think it smells like paper on me and I smell like an old library that someones left old flowers a bit too long in in a good way. It’s the perfume my bf thinks now smells of me. It’s affordable! But it stains my skin and any light clothing red/orange so I have to be careful with it. I also wear: M&S warm neroli - casual daytime. Neroli, bergamot, musk. Feels quite meditative. Blue and Shay Atropa Belladonna or Black Tulip - Both heady florals. The belladonna is sweeter than I’d buy myself but it was a gift and I wear it occasionally. The black tulip to me smells again like old flowers (although others have said it smells fresh so maybe I’m just weird). I generally prefer to smell a bit old and rotten than fresh and bright. i recently discovered Cherry Smoke by Tom Ford and I’ve fallen in love. I’ve been wearing it as my nighttime scent. Cherry, smoked wood, apricot, leather, olive. It’s sweet but smokey like a Manhattan. it’s sexy as FUCK. But I absolutely cannot afford it once this tester runs out so it’s a flash in the pan love affair. In terms of other scents - my laundry is always lavender cause wool moths don’t like it, and I usually always buy rose or jasmine scented body wash, but atm it’s a huge bar of pomegranate soap that caskeyc got me for Christmas, and I like to burn sandalwood or jasmine in my room.

the world is falling apart, might as well smell nice <3

Do you ever smell a certain scent and it reminds you of a person, time, or place? For example, when I smell pink sugar it reminds me of the middle school locker room after walking the mile. I love how a smell could be a bookmark in your life. So why not make it a beautiful scent that one day you will probably smell and think, “what was I thinking?” Recently I’ve been into this perfume by Andrea Maack that smells like harvested potatoes in Iceland. Another one from room 1015 with interesting notes of carrot seeds, jasmine, and musk. Lastly, my most recent purchase is from Villa Erbatium and smells like the inside of a refrigerated flower shop - cut stems, cool air, cellophane wrapping and all.

RE-REC'D BY @prophecytalk

Expectations are so intangible, and judgement so abundant, that it’s almost become easier to say “I am not” than “I am”. Positivity has become a sign of vulnerability in many ways in today’s internet zeitgeist, it‘s rarity being clearly identified by the creation of this app. The negativity that has spread rampant throughout our internet has seemingly proven to many that if they are not part of the rejection, they will be the rejected! An equally sad and scary thought! This app is so miraculous to me in many ways. The positivity makes it whole. A lot of us probably feel pretty defensive of this quality due to some of the same principles of community that influence the phenomenons I’ve mentioned above.  Anyone can come here and post words and phrases and photos and links and to the vast majority of us the purpose is clear. All the while, it is in the nature of people, good or great ones even, to expel negativity which festers inside :( ! This will happen, but my fellow PI.FYI-ers, what we pay attention to grows! Some good, or great people even, have a hard time identifying these tendencies which do contribute to the spread of negativity into foundationally positive spaces, and their impact in the grand scheme. As a community of lovers of things, I think it’s healthy and only right to continue to kindly remind each other why we have all found ourselves drawn to this platform. Let’s only say fuck off to the evil ones, let’s banish them to Elon Musk’s X, and let’s welcome all the rest to the brilliance of recommending good stuff to good strangers online. I hope to do this for a while :)
