This is for your friends (he/she/they) who have half a dozen tattoos and those cute micro-piercings filled with little twinkling gemstones. They don’t shop at those big box stores but that’s ok, because the corner store stocks all the best-sellers from Costco anyway. They play guitar, or at least a ukulele, and once a month pile into a friend’s car for a trip to the mountains. Colorado by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz is for them.
I don’t have tattoos or a ukulele, but when I wear Colorado, I’m eating lunch with those kids.
This smells exactly like a trip to the mountains in the spring sunshine. Bright citrus in the opening, immortelle, pine needles, dried bark, crisp dried sap. You’re on a hike as the snow melts and you can smell possibility in the air.
