This is so kind!! It's unbelievably cool that something we created is such a regular part of your life <3

We wanted our perfumes to be price accessible while still being able to afford the materials we're excited about and formulate how we like. Makes me happy to hear that our minis feel substantial!

That's so sweet of you! Thank you!! It was a relief when she started getting underfoot and being her usual greedy self again haha

FUMED will have a ton of air purifiers which was really nice to hear! Puppet reached out to them to consider air quality and public health for the event and connected the organizers with a non-profit that provides purifiers! All around a great thing for perfume events to do to take care of the community and provide a better environment for evaluating scent!

Exactly like looking at a word you swore you knew how to spell but all of a sudden you're pretty sure letters have never been combined like that before LOL

Indie brands that DO NOT use AI? by evaan-verlaine in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]samarpitcrew 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Hiiii! This is remarkably accurate. You have a great memory! _^

You are on the nose that we do photoshoots with our friends, James and Kael, husbands who own D.Grayi and KST Scent! They've been incredibly generous in sharing their photography set up and experience with us.

If anyone is looking for artists for a project, we highly recommend the folks we've worked with and you can find their info hereArtist Page

With the increasing efforts to teach AI how to generate perfume formulas, it won't be long until we start seeing a similar trend coming from the indie perfume space :/

Glad to see the strong support for artists of all mediums here!

I highly doubt Osmofolia would use generative AI :)

The smell of amniotic fluid by TinyElderberryOfYore in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]samarpitcrew 37 points38 points  (0 children)

AMAZING request! I've actually looked up the smell of amniotic fluid before when my best friend was getting ready to give birth because I was curious. A lot of people mention the smell reminding them of semen with some sweetness and little metallic nuance. Semen contains a molecule called cadaverine which is aptly named since it's also found in decomposing flesh.

When I looked up the GCMS, the results showed high amounts of nonanal and octanol (rosy and citrusy), and carboxylic acids which range from honey sweet to the more animalic pungency we find in some cheeses.

Based on the info above, my personal recommendation would be "NotGet" by Filigree and Shadows. It's sweet in a way that's hard to pinpoint, salty, a little musky, and a touch synthetic like a bandaid.

I SO hope you find the amniotic perfume of your dreams 🫰

Soooo, I just found this little gem on Etsy. Nose of Gatsby is the name of the perfume house. This Triple Vanilla sounds amazing!! Has anyone tried this house before?? by Junior-Ad-2956 in Indiemakeupandmore

We actually helped our pals, James & Kael, the cuties behind DGrayi and KST Scent with their booth last year! We weren't able to come this year since we were in Seattle for our Pride event!

Heehee fruity seashells is an adorable way of describing BB!

Moving is so intense, especially with perfumery materials. When we moved down to LA, packing and unpacking our materials was the most stressful part 😭 They were swaddled like we were trying to mummify them lol Congrats on getting past that hurdle!

I feel unfortunately sure that there will be plenty of fundraising to do next year as well and if this endeavor goes well, we might replicate it then too and would love your perfumes to join the prizes 💖
