If you're taking requests, could you please do a post for amouage myths woman? I hear such insane things about it. Thank you!

oh baby. that's going in the queue

are there any good auto shop smells? and preferably not gasoline smell. a little bit is maybe okay but like, the smell of oil and metal shavings and plywood and rubber... i have found the smell of an auto shop somewhat similar to that of a freshly rained on field if that helps

I love your blog sosoooo much! please don't stress yourself out about this if you can't find anything :)

might i recommend:

smells like wd-40 by mschf - you'll never guess what it smells like

xyrena 66 by xyrena - ok so this one does have some gasoline, but it also smells like solvent, leather seats, motor oil?

ive been struggling with mental and physical health for a while, went from high functioning socialite to disabled misanthrope. there have been many hard days where all I could do was scroll this blog and get lost in the absurd and fascinating world of opinions on expensive smelly liquid. Thank you for this blog. in recovery but still come here to get cheered up. Stay smelly 🐽👃🤥😤🤧

:) i wish you well on your recovery, i have been there before and it's difficult... whatever gets you to the next day is worth cherishing, & i'm glad this could provide a distraction for you. good luck on your recovery 💖
