Scents I Reach For When I Want to Disappear

Some fragrances don’t announce you—they soften your edges. These are the ones I wear when I want to feel like mist, like a memory someone almost caught. 1. MAD et LEN – Vetyver Bucolique Smells like standing barefoot in wet soil at dusk. Raw, unsweetened vetiver. Patchouli’s cool bitterness winds around thick black honey—it’s nature untouched, not romanticized. 2. Neandertal – Light A sharp inhale of cypress smoke and crushed pine needles. Green, biting, metallic. The leather and ambergris come later, like dusk after a storm. It’s a forest with teeth. 3. Meo Fusciuni – L’Oblio It tells a story of forgetting. River incense, yellow immortelle, and sun-warmed citrus. The iris here is paper-thin and mournful, wrapped in oak and sandalwood. It smells like something you once loved deeply. 4. Orto Parisi – Stercus It opens with rot—yes, really. Animalic, smoky, primal. But then something strange happens: the dirt turns warm. The musk softens. It’s like hugging the earth, sweat and soil and all. #beauty #fragrance #PerfumeForIntroverts
