Loved the most recent episode of @paperbackperfumes.bsky.social interviewing Katrina Cochrane of Archer Farrar (archerfarrar.com.au). What a fascinating perfumer with such an interesting approach to creating fragrance.

Irresponsible fiscal decisions - my blind buying diary.
This is not my usual profile but it is VIVAN WESTWOOD. The cardamon is tops. The rose is almost too sweet. The leather saves it.

In other and mildly related news- who knows ANYTHING about June by Saville. Because it was meant to be very popular and this is the only information I can find

This more specifically for @immortalperfumes.bsky.social - but look what I managed to pick up for $80. All but one were sealed - circa mid 70’s. The fragrance gods smiled upon me.

I did my first perfume making workshop - was with @vitsley.bsky.social who has some wild native and Asian botanicals I haven’t experienced before. I made something ‘interesting’ with Anise Myrtle, tropical fruits and woods, a really green rose and sparkling incense. The wait is terrible.

I received a lovely gift (no obligation to post) from @immortalperfumes.bsky.social of a variety of samples. I wore Antoinette today and felt like I was in a Sophia Coppola film

Do you like roleplaying games? I do. So let's talk about how you can make scent part of that experience. Jinx from @heroscent.bsky.social and @strangefirefumery.bsky.social offered up a joyous chat that's full of geekery.

I never thought about it that way-- but yeah- good point! Libraries and #books are almost never the wrong answer:)

If you haven't had a chance to have a listen to my chat with Anh from Connection Parfumerie about the weird, wild and wonderful fragrance of poison inspired scents - then give it a whirl. It's all based around a fabulous read from Kat Khavari #perfumesky www.paperbackperfumes.com/episodes/poi...

This week I am chatting with fragrance curator, Anh about the writing of Kate Khavarti, what the fragrance scene in Australia is like compared to Vietnam and ways to start out looking for something new if you have a signature scent.

Morning walk. A bit of cool quiet in the middle of a busy week.

A sweet little recap from this week's episode with William from Vallense.
I remembered I can even add links here - so go have a listen!

If you haven't listened to Episode 33 where @immortalperfumes.bsky.social and I talk about Blood Water Paint by @joymccullough.bsky.social - I do recommend. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Sometimes editing an episode of the podcast takes a few days.
Sitting down to do a little editing, hit play and the first sentences is '... Amouage goes balls to the wall...'
I have no recollection how I got to that statement.
Yes, I am an exceedingly refined and highly educated human.

I would like to thank @immortalperfumes.bsky.social for completely messing with both mine and my colleagues work day as we desperately try to work out out who in Australia has antique DeVilbiss glass perfume bottles. Librarians research, right?

My reads over Dec/Jan. Still managed a few titles with moving house/no internet and the general crazy life stuff that happens in and around that.
