Mausam by Kushbu Perfumery.
Golden sun dances coins of light on the winding jungle path.
Fresh and brightly juicy fruit dangles from dewy, luxuriant foliage— fantasy versions of rhubarb and mango.
Warm cinnamon, pepper and clove scatter through the treetops and settle on velvety peridot moss.

Silvery blue. Deep, dark green. Springy, soft bottlebrush needles.
A sprig of mint, maybe 2 or 3.
A snow shower of vanilla sugar dusts the treetops.
Opalescent eucalyptus shimmers.
On the mossy forest floor, a whistling gardener clips bare rose bushes.

Empty beach, wide skies, distant mountains…and the fabulously complex smell of rotting seaweed.

Wearing Des Cendres by Les Abstraits for a sunny and warm Scottish spring day.
Crushed, sappy green stems with a luxuriously generous white floral heart and a smooothly soft leather drydown.
Utterly bewitching 💚

After splashing paint around all weekend, I was surprised that the smell was still lingering today.
I can highly recommend burning one of these wee incense papers to gently clear the worst of a pong. They worked far better than I’d hoped.
Have you tried them?

Quick walk to the beach before the electrician comes round.
What do you do when you have a 4 hour window for expecting a tradesperson? Can you concentrate on anything at all, if you might be interrupted at any point?

A sun-warmed 50s starlet in a dazzling white bathing costume, narrow belt twined around her waist.
Creamy tropical flowers in her hair, immaculate makeup and a finely turned ankle.

I do love this one from Jorum. There’s a spicy depth that’s reminiscent of a rose I grow here in Scotland. Gorgeously uplifting.
