Hopefully it works! That would have been my second choice, but surprise surprise it's sold out as well. 🫠

I listed some things on Mercari, including this lightly tested bottle of the sold out Lavender Cookie Dry Body Oil by Linen Tutu.

If you want this or anything else you see, message me! I can offer better prices when there aren't fees involved.

True. I think I only used them for prescription sunglasses and a backup pair of eyeglasses, so I wasn't as concerned about looks for those.

Which did you choose in the meantime, and do you like it? I'm wondering if the compact might fit a refill from another brand or if they intentionally made it a wonky size that will only fit theirs.

I did it! I scoured the planet and battled the tariffs to bring you one.. more.. batch of The Space Between! I had no idea this was going to become an award nominated perfume and become so popular! If you’ve been waiting this long, thank you! Get yours while you can. This is the last of it— Really!

Agreed. I sniffed maybe a dozen at a duty-free shop. One was nice, but I don't even remember which it was, so that tells me all I need to know.

That sucks. 🫤 Warby Parker was my top source before I got LASIK. Have you looked into Zenni optical? I remember having very good experiences with them and their products.

Bummer! Have you tried Monday by Arielle Shoshana? I've heard good things about it. For Strange Women also has a London Fog perfume that seems pretty popular.

The darker metal on this year's version looks so much nicer! Now if they would only restock the violet powder that is always sold out.

Happy early birthday! 🕷️🎂

#SotD Little Song by Meo Fusciuni

I decided today was a day to wear oversized sweats, catch up on cleaning, and smell fancy as fuck while doing it.

Coffee and dried rose tempered by citrus and spice. If I detected this in the wild, I would seek the source like a ravenous bloodhound.

I'm going to have to try proofreading before I post. 🥴 Blanche Bête. Sheesh.

I've played it safe by not looking at her website for about a year. Exquisite Affair is the one that caught my eye, but I'm worried I might end up loving all of them once I get around to sniffing them—which I've avoided for the same reason as you. 💸

Have you tried Buonanotte by Hilde Soliani? It's what I had hoped Balance Bête would be on me. Not too potent, and made me envision a jasmine milk bath in a fancy clawfoot tub. The price is the only thing holding me back from that one.

I've only sampled Private Teahouse and another that had a delicate rose note. Both gorgeous. I've neglected to smell through the rest of my sample set, but hopefully I'll get around to it before our holiday sale season!

I've heard such good things about Forbidden Apple. But more importantly, congratulations! And thank you for sharing a bit of your perfume journey backstory and lessons learned. I feel like we all eventually reach a turning point where we need to reconsider our approach for various reasons.

I enjoyed Blanche Bête when I sampled it, but once I had a decant, I was like, 'Oof, this is a lot.' 😵‍💫 I can't handle Kayali DNA either. Totally understand the need to repeatedly shower.

Interesting how our noses detect different notes on different days, and a honey-vanilla cigarillo scent doesn't sound half bad!

Have you seen her other brand, Hedonik? There are only 3 perfumes, but they are definitely marketed toward baddies.

Such a good brand. I didn't think I'd ever find a tea scent I enjoyed until I sampled Private Teahouse.

Thank goodness @lvneaperfume.bsky.social has tariff-free shipping to the U.S. because I couldn't resist this limited release.

Vanitas enticed me with a notes description that includes overripe fruit, candle wax, woods, bread, wilted flowers, and dusty leather books.

I love it already.
