I ended up getting this perfume at Urban Outfitters after surprisingly not finding any that I liked at Lush. I have a small budget, so it's nice that it's only $24! It's not super fancy or long-lasting, so you get what you pay for, but it smells fantastic. I was looking for a scent that smelled woodsy and sweet, but usually I find woodsy scents to be super overpoweringly masculine or aftershave-y. This one is one of the only woodsy ones I've found that isn't too strong or too clinical. The others in the collection also smell great! I had a hard time choosing just one.
I was strolling around the city 5 days ago when I fell upon this wonderfully scented perfume. It had notes of olive tree🫒and rose and a woody underlying theme. It is floral but not the typical kind of floral but rather a more mature floral scent resembling Rose 31 from le Labo. The best part is that is was not that expensive only 55CAD for the mini version(okay pretty expensive.)
For a long time my signature scent was Billie Eilish no.1 because it strikes the perfect balance for me of sweet vanilla and warm musk (and I still love it), but lately I’ve been wearing a ton of Somebody Wood from Phlur. It’s a clean, barely-sweet, woody, light musk scent that makes me feel fresh and confident and sexy in a way that feels more subtle and suited to everyday wear for me than some of the bolder perfumes from my smöl collection.
I first bought the sample size last November, and loved it so much that I recently dropped the $50 to order the next size up— it’s one of the most magical fragrances I’ve ever had the pleasure to wear. On first smell, it smells like a freshwater stream through the woods, or the smell of the earth after rain. It‘s very aquatic and ozonic, but on the dry down it transforms into something sweet and floral. I genuinely can’t recommend this scent and the perfumery enough :)
I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:
if you have a job that lets u read in ur downtime, they're a great portable option that doesn't require you to invest full focus like you would if you cracked a novel open on the clock! plus they are cheap & open you up to all sorts of niche content you wouldn't encounter otherwise :)
