Scents That Sneak Up On Me

I swear, Aesop Karst smells like that exact moment after swimming—hand in hand, ice cream melting, summer slipping away with leaves and his shampoo still on me. Documents Naive? It’s like biting into a fuzzy peach that’s too sweet but not quite, while a fan hums overhead and I try to cool off my racing heart. Grandhand Violette takes me back to that Korean trip—ice cream puffs that tasted like fall, wool skirts, a cat that wouldn’t stop following me, and leaves everywhere. Nonfiction For Rest? Rain, incense, tea brewing in a hanok… I almost forgot how quiet that felt. Philosykos is creamy fig I didn’t expect but keep reaching for. Melograno smells like childhood powder but not in a cutesy way. More like… memories folded into skin. Byredo Pulp — I was in Melbourne, sharing shaved ice with someone, and drowning in homework but couldn’t care less. Sweet and messy. Debaser? Sydney, 19, everything confused—sharp, sticky, nostalgic. It still sticks to me. #beauty #fragrance #memorylane

These 8 Luxury Perfumes? Worth Every Penny.

I haven’t gotten tired of them. Not even close. Expensive, yes—but they make me feel like I’ve got my life together (even when I don’t). If you’re looking to treat yourself, here are 8 high-end scents I’d buy all over again: ⸻ 1. Chanel 1957 My all-time favorite. The softest “your skin but better” musk—like orange blossom and jasmine wrapped in a warm cashmere sweater. Clean, rich-girl energy. I spray it right after a shower, especially on my collarbone. It’s the definition of “a hint of scent when you pass by.” ⸻ 2. Chloé Jasmine Rain The prettiest jasmine I’ve worn. Not loud or powdery—this smells like unopened flower buds in soft spring rain. Dreamy, elegant, delicate. It’s walking through a foggy garden in silk flats. Absolute spring/summer perfection. ⸻ 3. Burberry Green Grape Gummy The date-night perfume. Juicy, playful, a little flirty. It smells like green grape candy and first kisses behind the movie theater. Super sweet, but not childish. You’ll get compliments. Lots. ⸻ 4. Burberry Hawthorn Blossom Clean, soft, literary. This one feels like sipping tea in an English garden while journaling. Not overly floral—just green, fresh, and quietly confident. It gives “Pride and Prejudice main character” in the best way. ⸻ 5. Loewe Aire Anthesis (aka Miracle Dawn) Think citrus, jasmine, and pear, but make it radiant. Unisex, light-filled, and full of golden retriever warmth. I first fell in love with it on a guy—now it’s my “sunshine in a bottle” for every gender. ⸻ 6. Tom Ford Electric Cherry This one? Dangerous. Sweet cherry with a hint of spice. Seductive, but not sleazy. Like a flirt who knows exactly what they’re doing—bold, beautiful, and just a little bit wicked. ⸻ 7. Burberry Blush (aka Her Blossom) The ultimate campus-friendly scent. Crisp pomegranate and lemon in the top notes, warm florals in the dry down. It’s fresh, happy, and lasts forever—perfect for everyday wear or first-day-of-class vibes. ⸻ 8. Celine Parade (aka Uninhibited) Cool girl energy bottled. It’s cold but not cruel, distant but not disconnected. Like someone who’s mysterious, smart, and impossible not to watch. I wear it when I want to feel free and a little untouchable. #beauty #fragrance #luxuryscentlove

Two Scents I Can’t Stop Wearing

I should’ve bought them in Europe. I told myself I’d wait, think it through, be practical. But I came back home—and paid more to fix a small regret. First was Eau de Geranium. I tested it for thirty minutes at the counter, torn between this and Tokyo. Then my boyfriend said, “This one smells like summer air conditioning.” That did it. I didn’t even get the “cool” note he mentioned, but it felt fresh, like spa oil on clean skin. Relaxed, light, and just enough. I wore it every day, even used up my first real paycheck on it—worth it. Then came Eau de Lierre. A gift, a choice I debated for weeks. Cooler than Tokyo, lighter, with a touch of immortelle and mint. Somehow, this one stuck. It felt like summer mornings I hadn’t lived yet. Ever bought a scent and realized it marked a whole season of your life? #beauty #fragrance #summermemories

Scents I Let Stay

I didn’t set out to collect full-size bottles this year—but some scents just insisted on staying. 🌲 Diptyque Duelle — Resin, vanilla, a smoky softness that clings to winter coats. It smells like warmth in a cold, empty room. 🌿 Givenchy Irresistible Eau Fraîche — Clear, green, like a fig snapped straight from the branch. A creamy fig, almost edible, but never sticky. 🌹 Givenchy L’Interdit Rose — My first ever big bottle. A beauty counter sample that haunted me for weeks. Green rose, a little wild. Reminds me of Penhaligon’s Luna, but moodier, less citrus—more secrets. 🍬 MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 — The famous one. Sweet but strange, like burnt sugar and frozen lychee. I can’t smell it on myself anymore, but I still spray it on my pillow. Sometimes I catch it in the middle of the night, and it feels like luck. #beauty #fragrance #ScentMemory
