The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

If nothing else brings me happiness in Amsterdam, it’s that almost every taxi I see in the city is a Tesla. So when I return Sunday for our remaining weeks in Seattle before our final exit, it will be with gratitude in my cold, dead heart that Tesla owners in the U.S. are glorified taxi drivers.

OMG, Boo, twinsies! Only this week is an exception.

Thanks, Boo! (Why are you up so early?)

I’ve arrived in Amsterdam. Tomorrow is the official check-in when I can have the keys, and then I’ll be busy the rest of the week setting up the apartment for us and the cats when we officially arrive in 27 days.

Our friend Alexandra had a break-in overnight. If you’re on Capitol Hill today, stop in at Alexandra’s Macarons and support a woman-owned small business. #seattle

To do: • Add a legend and filters for UI clarity. • Add more information to the popups. In the words of Agnes Gooch, I think I’ll fix myself a Dr. Pepper.

Just finished the first round of changes to Scented Atlas: • Using Airtable to collect, normalize, and steward submissions from perfumers and boutiques. • Using Leaflet to render the map in the browser with OpenStreetMap providing the basemap tiles.

Filigree & Shadow @filigreeandshadow.co · 05/01/2026

Hopefully I can make this transition in the next few days, then share the website with a wider audience of fellow perfumers who want to take part in this.

I want to de-Google my personal and professional selves as much as possible. I started www.scentedatlas.com using Google Sheets and Google Maps, so my plan is to switch to Airtable and OpenStreetMap, respectively. #perfumesky

If, like me, you found your brand name being used on Amazon without your consent, you can send an email to legal@amazon.com. Remember the human and be polite, as the person who receives your email had nothing to do with the actions of their employer.

FYI (btw), I closed my fragrance studio at the end of September, pending a move to Belgium with my husband and our cats. I am not selling my now discontinued fragrance line on Amazon. The site is using my brand name for shoppers to find similar fragrances, like… Estée Lauder. So that’s fun.

I’m so excited to see what the New Year brings. Thank you for sticking around. I hope you have a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year. As I often liked to say to my studio visitors, “Make good choices!” 🖤

• I introduced my fragrances to attendees of the VIN + OMI fashion show in London. • I closed my studio in preparation for moving to Europe (still in progress). • I got to meet my grand-niece. I also got to spend time with my siblings many several times, and I met so many amazing people this year.

• I got to see mybestfriendfromslowdiveRachelGoswell. (This must be said at lightning speed, finished with tucking one’s hair behind their ear.) • With your continued support of my business, I was able to make several donations to charitable organizations helping people locally and across the globe.

What a year it’s been. • I launched my last fragrance “Closest to My Heart.” • An unnamed poet laureate wrote what has to be the best review ever written for a fragrance, featuring “Maggie’s Last Party.”

Christmas Eve hits a little different for me nowadays. Some good, some bad. But I was able to transform my emotions into fragrance that allowed us all to feel something visceral, and that is truly a blessing.

An editor at Fragrantica called A Way To Say Goodbye “a masterpiece.” I also received emails, messages, and comments from customers who shared their stories about their moms with me, and what the fragrance meant to them personally. Perfume is art, and it is transformative.

I learned to take a cue from musicians I admire, that once their music is made and shared with the world, it is no longer theirs. People will either love or hate what you’ve made, but it’s theirs to do what they choose.

My therapist suggested that I sell this fragrance I made in memory of my mom. And so I released A Way To Say Goodbye.

Then there’s the chypre perfume she used to wear. We shared a similar proclivity for patchouli wrapping itself around our skin just a little tighter. Some things are inherently genetic.

I worked on a fragrance sketch to help channel my energy into something more than waiting when the minutes drag. It was a memory of the pack of sugar-free peppermint gum she always kept in her leather purse, forever underneath her cosmetics bag.

My husband prepared me with the reality that my final moments with her might be via FaceTime. I wasn’t sure what I would be able to say beyond “I love you.” She passed away 18 days later on Christmas Eve. I never had that final moment.

Five years ago I received a phone call from Swedish in Denver that my mom was admitted after testing positive for COVID-19. The news left me in a state where I was either cleaning my house or lying on the floor.

I wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy 2026. Remember that when the world feels like it's getting darker, it is up to us to be the light.

It is now officially the first day of Winter, and so I present to you my annual Winter Mix. For this year's theme, I’ve chosen songs that celebrate soul, funk, disco, house, techno, drum & bass, jungle, and post-rock over the decades.

Waiting for these to cool. Justin removed the piths, boiled the peels thricely for ten minutes, cooked them in sugar syrup for 45 minutes, tempered chocolate, and dipped each one by hand.

Bad news: I retired the Mount Rose Teen Princess® Perfume Annal™. Good news: I converted the Google Sheet into a website. scentedatlas.com Support independent and artisan perfumers as you smell the entire world. #perfumesky

People who love to dunk on TikTok, this is why I still use the app. It led me to this wonderful app for creating portraits of my cats. uchinoko-maker.jp/?lang=en-US #catsky

A stylized grey cat with bright green eyes, depicted sitting with a slightly curved tail. The cat has a calm, neutral expression. The name “Jona” appears below in a cursive font.

A clean, minimalist illustration of a grey cat with yellow eyes, sitting upright with a long tail raised high. The cat looks forward with a composed expression. The name “Baldur” is written below in cursive script.

Moving overseas means these perfume materials, sadly, can’t come with us. If you live in the greater Seattle area and want to instantly have the best surplus of materials at your disposal for making perfume, @ me. #perfumesky
