I just learned that a lot of vintage perfumes and fragrances were intentionally created to blend well with the ever-present smell of cigarettes, and in specific a lot of iconic ones that are super musky and floral and civet-heavy were intended to compliment the smell of fur coats or even "refresh" that new fur coat smell, which is one of the reasons (besides just shifting preferences and trends) that a lot of them smell really, really bad to modern noses.

I bet there's some stunning genius diva out there right now who meticulously coordinates her Victoria's Secret body mists with her vape flavors.

#no i'm sorry i'm standing ten toes on this #what do you meeeeaaan it smells exactly like baby wipes #ginger and leather in a baby wipe? are you insane (term used hyperbolically and with love)????#out here torturing babies not on my watch #also how does iris leather musk rose ginger lily of the valley not translate as vaginal to you? that's like - if you had a formula that wou #that would be it!#also it is not a clean smelling fragrance sorry #wore this in an elevator with a married man he started Sweating Bitch #again i say all of this with love and hyperbole; we all have different noses and skin chemistry #my reviews should always be taken as my opinion and not an absolutist description of how a fragrance will perform for everyone #i advise you do the same

Kewpie Doll Pearfat

As always, my grandmother made way too much food—now I’m laid out, pressed against the warm wood of her back porch among swarms of summer flowers and proud, plump tomatoes still on the vine. Those fruits might as well be Italian heirlooms, and my family’s future is just as red and round, borne in my niece Wren’s Kewpie Doll cheeks.

Notes

Top - Cherub cheeks, sweet basil, calabrian bergamot

Middle - New vinyl doll, summer blooms, sun-streaked tomato leaf

Base - Nana’s back porch

full bottle of la religieuse has arrived and i need to process my thoughts; been hearing that people are smelling aldehydes though they aren't listed anywhere, for me they come through really intensely in place of the often listed bergamot - which now leads me to think of the scent as chanel no 5's goth cousin, they do share a lot of, if not exact notes, note families. and chanel's fashion design in the 1920s in particular leaned pretty heavily on the silhouette of a nun's habit... i don't think i'll ever know whether serge and/or sheldrake did this on purpose what with how tight lipped serge lutens seem to be regarding everything. but while they seem structurally similar, i don't think i've ever smelled a fragrance and gone 'wow that smells sad' before la religieuse; certainly not with chanel no 5. not that that makes no 5 a worse fragrance.
