I'm a serial offender of "saving things for special moments" that are like once in a blue moon and i forget to use them when the special moment arrives
i've started wearing perfume every day after a bout with superstitious when good things would happen to me when i wore my "good luck perfume"
heres my conclusion: i fucking love smelling pretty. sue me. i like it here.

Obsessed with perfume. For a while I was searching for a signature scent, but then the hunt just became too much fun, and now I’ve 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 I’m 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 it’s colder out and it makes me feel so warm and cozy, like i’ve 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 it’s 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 I’m sorry about that. It’s just too good and too me.

it all started with my aunt who has a friend that works at bloomingdale’s and contrabands bottle of testers and pass it on to her to do the trafficking. i’m talking niche fancy stuff for $100 or less. that’s how i ended up with an incredible collection and an addiction that i’m not proud of… but once you get into perfume, it’s like a whole universe unveils in front of your eyes (nose) and there is so much to experience, so much to taste, so much to learn about yourself, your brain and the strangeness of human olfaction. and the association of smell and memory is one of my favorite things, every single perfume i have triggers memories and feelings in a very deep and intense way. i have no interest in having a “signature scent”, life is too short. hop on!

my partner often remarks about my "freudian thoughts" wherein which i forget other people have different lives from me. case in point: while shopping for the holidays, i saw birthday party supplies and said "wow, they really put out the birthday stuff early this year" (my birthday is in march). sorry sagitrariuses (sagittari?)

I remember seeing this in an advanced screening and when What’s Up Danger comes on and he does his leap of faith, I felt all the atoms leave my body. I felt completely empty, like I was also falling through a cityscape, filled with a chilled awe. It was freaking surreal.
