SOTD: The Alloy Studio Hypnotic Nectar. Smells like a possibly-magical (???) mushroom soup with basil and rosemary, made by a witch who seems friendly, but you’re not sure what to think of her yet. Good for days when you want to go “goblin mode.” (Some savory gourmands seem good for “goblin mode”?)

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

SOTD: DedCool Sunlit Blooms. Why do I not wear this one more often? It seems so perfect for typical Bay Area weather, especially when transitioning from summer to fall! The salty vanilla almost feels caramel-y, but it’s not too heavy for warmer weather imo? I think the florals help it feel lighter?

My toxic trait is I make SOTD posts without scrolling through other people’s posts, a lot of the time. For some reason, I like to cross-post my Bluesky posts (as screenshots) to my Instagram stories. (I do engage more with other people’s content on IG, so y’all might want to follow me there too?)

SOTD: Eauso Vert Fruto Oscuro. Yes, it is still warm enough outside to wear shorts. But it’s September, damn it! I must wear the fall scents now! This is my first full wear test of Fruto Oscuro. It smells like juicy, dark red fruits, it’s spicy, it’s woody… What’s not to like? Might be a new fave!

when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work

SOTN: Ledda 16 Scenic Rose. I wanted to pick something as close to VS Strawberries & Champagne as possible, since my inner child needs comfort today 😭 This is like if S&C quit drinking and switched to matcha lattes. Kinda makes me want to try a matcha latte & see if it tastes like grass to me?

SOTD: Studio Tanaïs Nymphaea + Le Monde Gourmand Lait de Coco. To people who aren’t “fragheads,” the idea of a “creamy” fragrance might sound gross, but I am admitting to myself (+ the world, I guess) that some “creamy” fragrances are good 🫣 I do like the creamy, coconut-y, floral vibe of this combo

SOTD: J-Scent Ramune. Of course, it smells like Ramune, but it also smells like those scented markers from the ‘90s/early 2000s. Maybe like a combo of the purplish-pink, purple (grape), and light green (I think? Whichever one was minty?) markers? Very fun, fruity, and nostalgic in multiple ways!
