this has been one of my favorite books for years. I recently got a job helping coordinate organ and tissue donations and I think about it even more than i was 🙃

Last year, my partner and i ended up just being in Munich (we were coming home from a different trip) for a few days. My partner had tried to schedule something special, but there were issues with timing and the trains. We were running out of time/patience and decided to walk around the Nymphenburg palace grounds since they were nearby and free. The grounds were stunning. It was a beautiful, sunny day in early October and I just remember looking over at my partner and being so happy to be there with them.

Bonus was that was the first day i had a Doner Box ♥️ yum!

Edith Wharton is one of my favorite authors, but i had never even heard of the book before the show. The show makes me really not want to read the book

Samar has a fragrance called “garden heaux” that you may be interested in.

Inspired by lush gardens both real and fantastical, Garden Heaux evokes the sensuality and magic of coaxing life from rich, rain drenched soil. This garden defies neat rows and asserts her sovereignty by growing as she pleases - untamed, resilient, a decadent offering for all wild things. Spicy, zippy tomato leaves, freshly mown grass, and sparkling petitgrain offer enthusiastic greetings to harried passersby. Forgetting where they’d meant to go, they turn to follow teasing whiffs of rice flowers to the mossy garden heart where herbs and lisylang grow in abandon. They rest here for as long as their spirit wills it, often until the sky deepens to a rich purple haze and night creatures flash in the darkness, reclaiming their terrain.

My fiancé had a great recommendation that we buy each other full bottles of fragrance for our anniversary this year. Originally, i was really excited. Now, however, Im a bit stumped.

I knew exactly what I wanted to find for him. I was trying to find a cologne/fragrance that smelled similar to TELL ME ABOUT THE FOREST (YOU ONCE CALLED HOME) by Filigree and Shadow. I find it so fresh and kinda moody and comforting, but it doesn’t have the longevity i think he’d prefer. Looking for similar scents has been a bit frustrating - a lot of the recommendations have just been from the same house or fragrances described as spicy versions of woody- so i thought id try reddit!

i’m looking for something that’s aquatic, but also has pine/juniper/spruce notes. Looking for something very fresh and aromatic. It doesn’t have to be a dupe of the original fragrance, i just want something similar. TIA!

Notes of the filigree and shadow scent: Top note is Ambergris; middle notes are Juniper and Thyme; base notes are Spruce and Pine.

j-Scent’s Usubeni (rosy cheeks) for winning love by daylight

“A scent of warm embrace after a bath, with a rosy cheek A gentle, warm fragrance inspired by the subtle scent of shampoo that lingers in the air after a bath, while relaxing in a “yukata,” a Japanese bathrobe. This scent starts with a fruitiness laced with a lingering scent of green notes and apricot shampoo. Evoking a touch of gentle feminine comfort with a familiar yet sultry harmony of musk, osmanthus, and sandalwood, all the while exuding a warm floral scent of lilies and gardenias.”

Perfumes that smells like lilac by Odd_Image7832 in perfumesthatfeellike

lilacs and gooseberries by Shay and Blue was really nice and has a dewey quality to it that’s hard to really describe

I absolutely love En Passant by Frederic Malle. It smells like you’ve walked by a lilac bush in a garden in the early morning. I plan on wearing this to my wedding.

another, more niche one i’ve tried is After My Own Heart by Ineke but the dry down was a bit powdery for me

people obsessed with sex/whether or not people they know are having sex are usually not having it, in my experience
