Still recovering from the head cold that makes everything smell and taste like cardboard. I spritzed some Miss Dior Essence on my curtains in my living room and my attitude improved a bit when my son’s friends came in and said “it smells great in here!” #sotd #perfumesky

The decant resources I use most are Surrender to Chance, ScentDecant and Etsy for vintage, rare, niche and modern perfume. If you have a good source let me know! #sotd #decants #perfumesky

I want all of Dolly’s perfume line, even though she wore her own vintage layered concoction. I don’t collect celeb fragrances, I usually aim for pre 2000 or personal wear, but I’d make an exception for her under $30 girlie gems 🦋 #dolly #perfume #perfumsky

What’s the point of money if you don’t spend it all immediately after receiving it.

Best friend wears Coco Noir. That’s it. I’ve decided to set up a decant party. A little charcuterie, some good airflow and some themes that match her vibe. 1. Northern Oregon coast Fog, rocky coastline, wet woods, conifers, rain, sea air

My son is going to a dental program and I found some classroom safe scents, low projection, clean not soapy. Like many genz, he loves BIG layered scents but he’s gotta dial it back. Diptyque Tam Dao EDT [sandalwood] Phlur Missing Person [soft musk] Any other suggestions? #perfumsky #perfume

Oh nose. I am sick with a bad head cold, my face hurts and I’m a cranky baby about it. So here is one of my cats being very normal.
An orange cat is half on a table and half on the back of a chair, looking very relaxed. His cat tree is in the background.

Ran out of my Chloe Nomade EDP samples, so I bought it for personal rotation this Fall. It feels current, not 2018. Some read freesia as top. I can’t find peach at all in it. Top: mirabelle plum, bergamot, lemon Heart: freesia, jasmine, peach Base: oakmoss, amberwood, sandalwood #sotd

I’m wearing a vintage 1980’s Oscar by Oscar de la Renta edt today and time has condensed it into a chocolatey, dusty & mossy “antique mall” base. It projects BIG as a concentrate I picked up clove, myrrh & wilted (not decaying) carnation. #perfumsky #SOTD

Cherry has been the it girl for a bit. Why do all cherry accords smell so candy sweet and synthetic to me? Cough syrup. Am I psychology reading it as red dye #40 cherry flavored candy? I like the dry down, but haven’t found a path to it. Hoping we are heading back into a plum, blackberry era.

I collect perfume for time travel. A wearable fragrance library of open, used, vintage, discontinued bottles from estate sales, vintage stores & online thrifting. Currently in my 80’s era. I admire investment collections but I’m a goblin that wants a crusty old bottle. #perfumesky #vintageperfume

My first bottle of perfume was Safari by Ralph Lauren in 1990, at debut. That beautiful bottle! A heavy molded glass with deep, faceted cuts that resemble cut crystal. It felt so grown up. I can’t believe we tossed those away like ”welp, it’s empty.” I want to time travel and slap my hand.
A cut glass mini bottle of Ralph Lauren’s Safari perfume. It was discontinued around 2008 and its larger bottles are collectible. brown box made to look like leather with silver accents. Bottle shape is round. Cap is ornate silver.

A picture of an opened book. On the right side a cartoonish drawn brontosaurus is frowning like it is sad. The left page says 'All my friends are dead' with the word dead crossed out. In its place are the words ‘discontinued decants.' The original book is by Avery Monsen and Jory John, published in 2010
