Mia digs nice smells, books and learning to paint. Total dilettante. ScentAWeek on IG
For Sample Saturday, I had a rummage in my Les Indémodables sack. My faves are Rose de Jamal, Chypre Azural (which I’ve been through a bottle of), Haiti and Iris 💙

What fairies smell like when they’re attending Oberon’s ball.
Dusita’s Rosarine is a sweet rose treat, perfect for beating the winter blues.
The book I read this week (4/5 ~ a thriller with lots of knowing winks to writers); and the perfume I wore most (this isn’t my bottle but my partner is sleeping!); AND I got two compliments, one being so enthusiastic my sleeve was touched!

What I’m wearing this week… exclusively. When I work from a palette of perfume I often think I could forsake all others…

A book that feels like a fragrance: The Party by Tessa Hadley. Young women smell different than they did in post-war Britain. This book is so Jicky with some dirty sheets, funk and attic dust thrown in. I loved this novella about two sisters’ throwing caution to the wind. #perfumesky #booksky 5🌟

No, I haven’t. Different author but I loved Pat Barker’s Troy books and so am thinking I’ll dig this too. Have you read it @rowanambrose.bsky.social

My hands sometimes pick my perfumes without thought, but my brain labours over my next read. Which would you pick?

Need to smell responsible today. Trying to decide between these two. How much thought goes into what perfume you pick for the day? Sometimes my hands make the choice over my brain ✌🏼🧠

Inspired to join by @scentiest.bsky.social and interested to post more stuff on the fly. Let’s see how this thing works. What I read, did and smelled.
