Huffing perfume to evoke vivid memories

Posted by Robin on 4 June 2025 2 Comments

Mark (Tim Heidecker), a frustrated playwright grappling with creative stagnation, discovers an unusual escape from his current reality — huffing perfume to evoke vivid memories of his Italian summer vacation. What begins as nostalgic reminiscence quickly spirals into obsession as Mark becomes consumed by the sensory high of the past, neglecting his current life and relationships. His desperate quest leads him to seek help from an eccentric perfumer (Kevin Kline), who bursts into spontaneous song while concocting custom scents in his lab, pushing Mark further into his fragrant fantasies.

The bottle resembles the classic Anna Sui perfume bottle, complemented with a rounded brush. The nail colors have a fragrance of fresh roses." I don't know the price, but the last time they did these, they were $18 each. (The only color left from that last round is Emerald Green, $18 at Anna Sui.)
