I read that 7 Ob-Gyn’s quit in a BC hospital because of the workload they were given and the lack of support provided, and honestly, good for them. People are done quiet-quitting and are quitting for real, trying to stand up for themselves in a time when nobody seems to stand for anything. In a time where everything seems automated, removed from any human contact, there’s still beautiful perfume made by a person and not a computer, and even as I’m being offered to use AI to write this caption, here I am, smelling of patchouli and vanilla. One day, will that be lost too, like newspapers are almost lost? Knowing some real collectors, I doubt it. Perfume people care too much about the real deal to make that happen so we’ll still be around with our little collections. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m dousing myself in L’eau d’Ambre Extreme by L’Artisan Parfumeur today and smelling Coromandel for reference. While I sometimes want to get rid of everything, today I’m glad I collected these old-school L’Artisan bottles when I did, because the joy of wearing these old juices is like hearing a song you grew up with on the radio.
Anyway, fall perfume needs to include patchouli, and we should all make our own scent memories with materials while we have them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
