6. I admit, I may have a slight obsession with René Lalique's Art Nouveau & Art Deco #BottleDesigns.
I mean, the man was bloody brilliant! He did for perfume bottles what Fabergé did for eggy gifts for the Romanovs. #Fragrance #InternationalFragranceDay

#ASongOrMovieForAllKindsOfSmell
Am I too late for #internationalfragranceday? Here is my #smellfie with my #sotd. So, I kinda ended up with a semi-gourmand perfume for tonight's festivities!
On #internationalfragranceday I want to just highlight some brands that I hope get lots of love: Pearfat, @sydbotanica.bsky.social , Anjali, Clue, Capsule Parfumerie, OSM, KST Scents, Mythologia and so many more. I’m excited to keep exploring independent perfumers doing the most exciting work
SOTN: Rabbit Rabbit by Pearfat. I’ve stuck to one brand for #internationalfragranceday Pearfat is perfect for today: a woman owned and run brand out of Chicago focused on scents that are familiar but with a twist that makes them so special. They’re so much of what I love about perfume.
Photo of three small wood and black wire shelves mounted on a blue-green wall and filled to the max with various bottles of perfume.
I took a nap and now look like I crawled out from under a log, so in lieu of a #smellfie, here is a #shelfie for #internationalfragranceday.
This isn't quite my entire collection, but it's most of it. (We won't talk about my dragon hoard of samples.)
See anything you like? 👀

#smellfie for #internationalfragranceday! this is my beloved blood spider orchids by régime des fleurs.

It's #InternationalFragranceDay? Here's one I'm having a love/hate with: Synthetic Nature by Frederic Malle. Love its grassy, pungent, lily of the valley opening - reminds me of my PA childhood. But something in there gives me the ick. I'll end up washing my wrist.

Happy International Fragrance Day! Celebrating with the most tenacious and brutal citrus I’ve ever encountered.
