Wah!

I actually hear you on the anxiety of finding a signature scent, or even a scent wardrobe — I actually think the ‘signature scent’ is a kind of thing that very few achieve. Of all the women I know, most don’t have just one — they have a collection. I’m fond of the collection idea myself! I just wish most perfumers made half-ounce bottles. So many beautiful scents, so little time and money!

(Ugh, sorry I missed your comment earlier!! I’ve had my nose stuck in my novel manuscript…!!!)

That, and fragrance criticism is always so so lovely to read. Like you said: beauty for beauty’s sake.

Also, you might be interested in this upcoming exhibition that Chandler Burr is curating.
