Runa 👹💨

I've heard such good things about Forbidden Apple. But more importantly, congratulations! And thank you for sharing a bit of your perfume journey backstory and lessons learned. I feel like we all eventually reach a turning point where we need to reconsider our approach for various reasons.

I enjoyed Blanche Bête when I sampled it, but once I had a decant, I was like, 'Oof, this is a lot.' 😵‍💫 I can't handle Kayali DNA either. Totally understand the need to repeatedly shower.

Interesting how our noses detect different notes on different days, and a honey-vanilla cigarillo scent doesn't sound half bad!

Looks like we have a murder mystery on our hands! 🕵️‍♂️

Hey now, they tried their best. 🥺

Hedonik Store - Expression of Fine Artisan Tradition Hedonik is the expression of our love for fine artisan tradition and quality of materials. Love for avant-garde fashion expressions and transformative jewels

Have you seen her other brand, Hedonik? There are only 3 perfumes, but they are definitely marketed toward baddies.

Such a good brand. I didn't think I'd ever find a tea scent I enjoyed until I sampled Private Teahouse.

Thank goodness @lvneaperfume.bsky.social has tariff-free shipping to the U.S. because I couldn't resist this limited release.

Vanitas enticed me with a notes description that includes overripe fruit, candle wax, woods, bread, wilted flowers, and dusty leather books.

I love it already.

You're speaking my language.

How you start the day:

Today I remembered the time a doctor noted in my visit summary that I was "well nourished," and I still think that is the most diplomatic and hilarious way they could have called me a big back.

There are a handful of others I could suggest, but they are suited to more specific tastes. These brands were the highlights of my year.

Thanks for the tip! I have a feeling I will either become obsessed with it or become traumatized by it. There is no middle ground.

This photo is gorgeous!

This fragrance sounds really cute! I still haven't tried a circus peanut. I was told I need to try them when they're fresh and squishy, but I have yet to find a fresh and squishy bag. I'm pretty sure stores have been trying to sell the same inventory since the 80s.

I would have also bought Nosferatea for the name alone. Hope you have better luck with that one!

Do you like it? I was only able to sniff this one from a vial that was too low to spray. I remember enjoying it, but also thinking it was too bright and cheerful to be named Devil's Garden.

When they showed more concern about banning books than banning assault weapons, I knew we were cooked.

Abso-friggin-lutely!

GEEZ, Melanie, stop being human already!

For real though, I understand how easy it is to fixate and get stuck in a negative thought loop. 💖 You deserve to allow yourself the same grace you'd offer to a stranger who made the same oopsie.

Congratulations! That's a huge undertaking.

My sample is so old it dried up on me. 🫠 All I remember is it smelled like actual key lime pie, and longevity was okay but not great. Guess this means you'll have to discover a new love!

New ick discovered: videos that aren't labeled as ASMR, but the person is speaking so softly I can hear their wet mouth noises 🤢

I don't know if it's a generational thing or what, but I would rather listen to the grapefruit lady than hear this while someone talks about perfume.

That explains everything. I've been on an Aldi oat milk kick, but I can never get it past latte foam consistency. Thank you for the tip!

Fucking hell, that typo is going to haunt me for the rest of the day. I'd delete it and fix it, but you already liked my comment, so now it would feel weird.

That looks divine, and what an adorable mug! I need to find a better non-dairy milk so I can make some real froth like this.

You'd think he'd be used to unusual smells by now considering he lives behind the toilet.

I'm sorry your feeling poopy. Hope the nature, fog, and spooders healed you at least a little bit. Those shots are gorgeous.

Because you ARE a pretty pretty princess. 👑
