Just posting this to make @filigreeandshadow.co jealous

On this International Women’s Day I want to specifically highlight how much transphobia is directly linked to misogyny, homophobia and the most toxic traits of internalised patriarchy. 1/2

Eau de Boujee - Infleurno (2024) Bouquets upon bouquets of divine immortal flowers immersed in the flames of Hades. This perfume dignifies its namesake and the inspiration. Similar to the other EdB perfumes, the scent creates a full scene, where now I see Orpheus suppliant before Persephone.

Holy shit it's still not cute to make fun of evil Nazi shitfucks by implying they are gay, trans, effeminate, women, or that being fat has anything to do with how fucking evil they are THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT

Eau de Boujee - Queen (2023) The balance between earthiness and sweetness in this perfume can only be described as “masterful”. The jammy fruits are wrist-bitingly delicious, whilst the carrot seed, geranium, and black tea are expansive in scope. This isn’t just a cuppa, it’s the whole damn party.

Eau de Boujee - Verdant (2023) Music picks up where language fails, which explains why “Such Great Heights” came back to me the moment I sprayed this transcendant ‘green’ fragrance. Not just ‘another green’ - it’s the hanging gardens of Babylon meets a yet unknown metropolis; I don’t want to leave.

Just between us chickens, I’d like to send out a plea to the guardians of our memories; iconic classic perfumes from big name brands, that once the juice is a zombie perfume, please kill it. Once the jasmine is just a memory and the bans and attempts at modernisations zombify the original, let it go

If you can get to London on 17 May, this is a MUST!

lol just getting emails after Esxence saying “hey have you considered opening your own retail store in Italy, we can help” uhhh sure maybe if we were already established in the market and sat on a fortune

@kafkaesque2024.bsky.social helloooooooo!!!!!

Meanwhile, in Milan, where @nickrgilbert.bsky.social has been showing our perfumes to oodles of people today…

The highlights of my first day at Esxence 2025 were trying the inspired work of Eau de Boujee and MISKEO and meeting the lovely people behind the scenes. @nickrgilbert.bsky.social @perfumer-pia.bsky.social @miskeoparfums.bsky.social @thescentinel.bsky.social 🧡💛💚🩷

This "Conclave" Oscar campaign is getting out of control.

Why do I insist on packing 6 changes of underwear for a 4 day trip?
