This feels like a blog post from a parallel universe, discussing a topic I never knew existed: Artsy, experimental perfumes!

Perfumes that smell like new cars. Like a distant Tuscan town in winter. Abstract scents. Like ink & old books. Or like Room 237 from "The Shining". :'D

Can't say that I'm not enjoying the reviews that the niche perfume community is writing! :D

One-star review: Like being whacked on the nose by a giant stick of celery wrapped around an iron bar. This is absolutely hideous, very strong & does not develop at all. Nothing like any vetiver I've smelled before, & | never want to smell it again.

That blog post seems to have kicked off a new special interest for me! :D

I'm bringing some perfume samples, to #why2025 hit me up if you wanna try some; I'd be happy to recommend you something!

Also, if there's anyone into perfumes (or perfume-making?), I'd love to chat!

Around fourty little perfume spray bottles in a black case.

I'm again carrying my perfume samples around today at #why2025. Feel free to call me at DECT 2546 and come find me if you wanna smell like cherry, or coffee, or the ocean, or a soldering iron! :D
