Can you guess what we're tincturing? We've been enamored with the idea of exploring the aromatics of fermentation. A culinary and medicinal staple in so many cultures, the scent palate is *immense* but underused. #perfumesky #perfumery

The pines did in fact make the "cookie" more Cookie 🤷🏿♀️😂 Amazing!
Sometimes perfumery makes me feel insane, because what do you mean cookies have overlapping molecules with pine trees???

No Kings makes us feel very conflicted. Yes, large marches provide visibility and an opportunity to connect with likeminded people. But here in LA, No Kings had a significant cooling effect on the smaller more confrontational protests that actually impeded 🧊

We've been working on designing new packaging for the past 1 year+ and had the eye opening revelation that a lot of "U.S. manufacturers" are really just English speaking middlemen who send your project to still be manufactured abroad in China, Turkey, Vietnam etc.

Hot girl stuff this week: finished recreating the smell of a lightning storm. An accord that is both cool air, thick atmosphere, and lingering electric heat ⛈️ #perfumesky

Sadly this is a common dynamic for ceasefires. Violence often intensified dramatically right before parties come to the table as military forces try to grab as much land/leverage as possible. Or in this case, get in as much killing and destruction as possible before the deadline.
If you were getting ready to sign a ceasefire it seems odd to continue to rain down bombs all the way up to that signing.

Can we talk about Chad Powers and how it's not actually telling an underdog story? Russ aka Chad torpedoes his career & spends nearly a decade believing he's a victim. Instead of owning his shortcomings, he schemes his way back into the limelight. #Chadpowers

Arcane is a gorgeous allegory for duality. The technologically advanced utopia that can only exist at the cost of an impoverished and abused undercity, held in the strangle hold of the utopian city's unchecked ambition. #arcane

"Death and Other Joys," the perfume we drafted in tandem during our 6 hr residency with Craft Contemporary and IAO is balanced on the connective tissue between grief and joy. Death is real, loss is real, and joy becomes sharper by contrast. #perfumesky #perfume

Reading "Blindsight" by Peter Watts and the foreword by Elizabeth Bear has been on my mind as we see pple succumb to cold indifference as protection from grief and feeling helpless. #booksky

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
