The Scents I Finished—And Still Think About

I’ve always leaned cold with perfume—sharp, quiet, a little distant. These are the bottles I actually finished. Serge Lutens Orange Blossom smells more like jasmine tea than citrus. Subtle, clean, comforting. Tom Ford Oud Wood took me almost eight years to empty, and I still miss that dry, smoky base note. If I had to choose one scent forever—it’s this. Aesop’s Tacit was a letdown. Gone in an hour, and the sour plum note stuck too close to the skin. Jo Malone’s Honeysuckle & Davana? I bought it for the name—thought it would be tough and green. But it’s soft with a hidden sweetness. Also: first time I got stung by a wasp. Coincidence? #beauty #fragrance #emptieswithfeeling
