It’s Tuesday, and in the US, Election Day. Do vote, if you haven’t already. What fragrance are you wearing?
Me: staying reasonably chill, so far, in Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate. Tea at the moment is a latte from a local shop, incense is Fred Soll piñon.

It has the same pleasure as drinking whiskey on the rocks, the way the ice sweetens the sip before it bites you back. This is a cider-in-an-armchair-while-doing-a-puzzle smell; a rereading-Shirley-Jackson’s-The-Haunting-of-Hill-House-for-the-umpteenth-time smell. It is honeyed and cozy, hygge in a perfume. This is the kind of fragrance you wear if you want to be your own dad.
