SOTD: Nudus by Parallax Olfactory. Resinous Neon Skin. Slick warm bodies bathed in the glow of spicy neon lights, melting down into a salty, peppered, apricot sweat. #perfumesky

My local perfumery had a deal on Zoologist… #perfumesky

Got a new camera to do travel vlogs with random samples. How many random samples does one take on a 15 day trip?

My Feb Acquisitions. Trying to focus on samples more this year. Shout out to Curatrix for gifting me Private Eye (for my husband) #perfumesky

By the time the Long Beach Press Telegram published this image in 1961, Catalina Pools had constructed more than 500 private bomb shelters in the Los Angeles area.

it is so humbling having to explain old memes to people who aren’t chronically online because what do you mean you didn’t know Jackie Kennedy ate sheet metal

Met my global work team this week. For personal introductions I talked about my perfume hobby and gave out samples to all attendees from my “enjoyable but not for me” box. They were quite intrigued by the variety of perfume types, scents, and price points. Led to a lot of fun conversations 🥰

Work Day Scent: Cloak Musk by Scent Trunk. So good, so easy

SOTD: Hayloft by Pineward. @whatsophiasees.bsky.social had it right when she said it’s standing in a pantry with the window open. A mixture of oats and nuts with the breeze carrying in hay and grass. A pastoral afternoon distilled into olfaction.

Here’s to the Day of Hearts, from CLST to you. 🫶🏻 #clstperfumes #perfumesky

Seeking: Trans and NB owned perfume brands! IFRA compliance plz. Any recommendations appreciated!

New Episode with the owner of Zoologist to discuss his passion for collecting and how he built a collectable fragrance brand using some of the world's best known perfumers. Victor agreed to the interview, but mentioned he's quite shy and asked not to be on camera for the questions. #perfumesky

Copyright submitted. Fingers crossed my application moves through the system without any hitches. I’ve been working on a 44-page booklet, with text and illustrations by moi, that walks you through creating your own perfume. I’ll have it available on my Patreon, so stay tuned.

SOTD: Lunatique by Liquide Imaginaires. A third offering from them that I love. A burst of currant and pear with juniper sparkling on an inky sky of Oud, incense, ambergris, and Tonka. This is a well blended scent where “notes” don’t appear so much as the vibe of a velvet night. #perfumesky

Hey, if you curate a list of people to send products to and want to change that list. You build a new list and don’t do this:

My friend saw this on Twxttxr and said it was made for me. I think she’s right.

Got to interview Noah of Amphora perfumes and hang out with some amazing perfume people! Last day in NYC was exquisite! @michysmells.bsky.social @neveroutofbooks.bsky.social @katlynngbennett.bsky.social

Mushmallow is live! #mushroomperfume #perfumereleases #perfumesky

My first workshop to Create Your Own Perfume was a smashing success! I just need to tweak a few things, but it’s ready to be added to my services in Setmore when making an appointment. #perfumesky

Sitting down the the incomparable Dustin Lujan to chat about his upcoming retail store was delightful, to say the least!

Not perfume related, but seeing Luna Luna in NYC was really amazing. To think such large scale art by some of the 20th century’s best artists was forgotten in shipping containers for decades.

Heading to NYC to interview some more folks for Goth Fragrance Dialogues and meeting up with some perfume peeps like @michysmells.bsky.social @neveroutofbooks.bsky.social @jennajesens.bsky.social

With all the presidential dick waggling it felt important to note..
