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

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

Scents That Sneak Up On Me

She, Scent, and the Animal Within

She stops mid-walk to smell a flower. She imagines the scent of tomorrow’s air on the last night of spring. She meets people through scent first—primitive, instinctual. In her world, scent is a symbol, a shortcut, a way to touch life directly. There’s one still, sacred place in her room: her fragrance shelf. That little space anchors her. When she opened the new “Wo (我)” by To Summer, it wasn’t just a scent—it was a memory portal. She breathed in and saw herself again: standing in a courtyard planting pine trees at midnight, moon hanging above; walking through rain she had once faced; falling in love with constellations that didn’t exist. And in that moment, she remembered: there is no “other,” no perfect life to follow. What matters, maybe, is simply playing each day like a secret the universe whispered just to you. “Wo” isn’t a fleeting free-spirited scent. It’s not abstract soul-talk either. It’s textured and real: Buddha’s hand, narcissus, white musk, balsam fir. Together, they form what I can only call “animalic.” A scent that’s wild but not wilding. Soft and feral. Feminine without being tame. To live by scent is to live close to truth. Not just with your eyes or brain, but with every part of you that still remembers. If the world fell apart tomorrow—if all memory vanished— I think scent would still find a way to bring me back. To remind me: this is your game. This is your life. Return to play. #beauty #fragrance #AnimalicFemininity

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
