Iām not one to be loyal to any brand for anything but I swear by the ambery saffron perfume by dossierā¦ Iāve had 3 people ask if I was wearing baccarat rouge (the designer scent itās āreplicatingā) and 4 other people complimenting the smell. My brother and I both wear it and oh my god itās just so good

When I finally got on antidepressants and stopped self-medicating my depression with an life-consuming addiction to amphetamines, I bought, like, 200 bottles of perfume. It wasnāt that before I got on proper medication, I couldnāt smell. It was just that when I was in the thick my depression, smelling something lovely just didnāt bring me any joy. It was too slight a pleasureālike listening to rain or baking cakesāto affect me. The only way I was able to afford 200 bottles of perfume was Dossier. They make dupes of iconic scents at price points of $29, $39 and $49. Their candles are great, too! My favorites are the Diptyque Do Son dupe, the Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe, the Love, Donāt Be Shy dupe (itās Rihannaās signature scent!) and, since I live in Florida now, I also love the Le Labo Santal 33 dupe because people chase me down the street to ask me what it is. Itās so sweet and heartwarming watching Floridians smell Santal 33 for the first time. But obviously I wouldnāt be caught dead wearing that perfume back in New York. Being seen as an offbeat and eccentric weird is too essential my fragile sense of self.

Obsessed with perfume. For a while I was searching for a signature scent, but then the hunt just became too much fun, and now Iāve ended up with a full on vanity tray in my bathroom piled with a different smell for every mood. I used to wear only China Rain, a rollerball scent my mom got me in high school from a perfumery in LA called Spiritbody. I still have a bottle of that, but when I wear it Iām transported to a more insecure time lol. Right now I love Shadow in the Water from Diptyque for when I want to smell clean and romantic. I wear Smudge by Heretic almost every day because itās colder out and it makes me feel so warm and cozy, like iāve been sitting by a fire all day, and like I give good advice and paint landscapes. Perfume is definitely a splurge, but it lasts for so long, and I think itās really special to have a beautiful scent that people can recognize you by. I am going to gatekeep my secret combination of Byredo perfumes that I wear constantly, and Iām sorry about that. Itās just too good and too me.

coordinating your laundry detergent, perfume, body wash, and linen/room spray in the same scent is so chic. people stop me on the street to ask what perfume i wear and my friends recognize it instantly when i walk in a room...doesn't need to be an obscure perfume either, it's more about the commitment to it than anything else

last summer I was sitting at the pond near my apartment when I saw a green heron (i didnāt know what that was at the time) and thought to myself āthere are so many birds around at all times and I have no idea who any of them are!ā Iāve been having so much fun learning my local natural history and being able to tell whoās around from their songs and calls and peckings.
I wonder how many other things Iām always surrounded by that I donāt recognize because I havenāt noticed yet. Like fonts or types of bridges or insects.
