#SOTD : Ambrosia from Venus Invictus. This starts off as a sticky, decadent spiced honey fig, and dries into a musky, comforting, woody sweetness. I love a gourmand with grounding notes- and this has just enough cedar and incense and fern to balance out the indulgence.

#SOTD : Matcha Soft Serve from d'Annam. These past couple of days have actually been *extremely bad* and this is an easy reach- very realistic grassy matcha with the slightest hint of sweetness over a clean and light musky base.

Explaining Hatsune Miku to someone who has never heard of her is kind of mind-bending

Damn having a therapist who truly understands your particular trauma is crazy, 10 mins into the session and he was LOCKED IN dropping some of the most perspective-shifting insights I've ever heard

Working at @immortalperfumes.bsky.social is fun because some days you're capping and labeling thousands of sample vials and some days you're just having a chill smell sesh

Back on my Mission Impossible bullshit and I think it is so hilarious that every movie starts with the last movie's love interest having mysteriously disappeared so that Ethan can have a new one

#SotD: Boneyard from Amorphous Perfumes (formerly Black Baccara). Earthy, dark, woody, spiced with clove and cardamom. Very grounding, slightly spooky.

SOTD: Tache de Café from Le Monde Gourmand (gifted). Peppery, papery, light. A lot of this brand's offerings run too sweet/generically mass-appealing for me, but when they hit, they really hit.

I'm making my way through the Mission Impossible movies and my takeaway so far is that it's really irresponsible of Ethan Hunt to get into any kind of romantic relationship

SOTD: Clementine California from Atelier Cologne (rip). Sometimes you just need a juicy, effortless, optimistic citrus. I smell this and I'm back at Hermosa Beach, early 2020, pre pandemic, not knowing how good we had it 🥲

SOTD: Match Made in Heaven from Sorce. There's not much matcha to my nose, but who cares bc it's maybe the best vanilla/almond gourmand in my collection. After this, other vanillas are just too cloying or heavy or synthetic- nothing lives up to this pure waffle cone goodness

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

new notebook time! Couldn't find a single Leuchtturm hardcover A5 dotted in black in the entire greater Seattle area except for the 120gsm version- reserving judgement. Starting this off with my Moonman M100, inked with Diamine Oxblood.
