Fragrance is an art that I almost never see mentioned among all the art forms shared here. Did you know almost half of the humans on earth wear some kind of fragrance? Do you have a single favorite? Do you have a collection?

hi. yes. we definitely have a rather large collection over here... just did a side by side those morning to decide between some basil or lavender scents for the morning atmosphere... have been wearing Zoologist Bee of late (after not wearing for over a year or so?) and some of Pomare's creations... at the moment considering if I should revisit matcha-tea scents (I never found one I loved enough to full bottle) and the Clue perfumes, since one of my favorite shops just started carrying...

My wife just put this one on and it’s sooo good. Fig and matcha. Fresh, not as sweet as the other one I shared. https://www.lelabofragrances.com/th-matcha-26.html

Thanks. I just spend some time reading it. I'm not sure there's a lot of negative in there actually. I understand it mostly came down to marketing and that the scents are simplistic, but that's not a bad thing. I don't think the price point is justified for what you get and I wouldn't ever buy a full bottle, but for a straight-forward note, they are really nice. Not complex, that's for sure. It reminds me of the Vodka brand, Grey Goose. Apparently, the founder wanted to manufacture a sense of luxury by making the bottle taller than others so it could only fit on most bars' top shelf, and use French vodka instead of the common Eastern Europe kind because people associate French with luxury.
