The most calming, cooling, sweet scent

Posted by Robin on 14 September 2021 Leave a Comment

It depends on what kind of love you’re talking about. But I think real love — not lust, not passion, but just love — smells like fresh lilacs. It’s the most calming, cooling, sweet scent. They smell alive, but also soft, and you just don’t want to be away from it.

— Alia Raza of Régime des Fleurs on the smell of love. Read more in The Perfumer Whose Sheets Smell Like Rose Water at The Cut.

The daily lemming

I'm not all sure I need my cleaning vinegar scented, but it does sound nice: Household Vinegar from Pikoc in Santal Frais. "The stubborn smell of white vinegar is over. With Pikoc scented vinegars, be confident that you will have a big smile during your cleaning sessions! Certified Ecocert and made with 100% natural perfumes. Santal Frais is the strength of sandalwood and cedarwood mixed with the audacity of cardamom and ginger spices." $17 for 500 ml at Beautyhabit. (And I almost forgot, but this is the same brand that makes an orange blossom laundry detergent I was wanting last month.)
