Have you sampled The Space Between yet? This white copal perfume has been aptly dubbed a, “White Velvet Incense” fragrance. Notes include neroli, apple, hand tinctured white copal resin, saffron with a warm woody vanilla and amber base. #fragrancesky #incenseperfume #whitecopal #perfumesky
Congratulations on the new launch! Wishing you so much success!
Love notes. 🗒️ 🖤 #lovesky
Hell yeah! So satisfying and so great for enriching the soil. I had the smoothest cranberry bean hummus the other day. So fantastic! The thinner skin lends itself to an insanely creamy dip!
Did you shell them all by hand? So fun! That will make a nice bean salad.
My honey bought me two Jasmine Sambac plants today. Bouquets for years to come. And they smell heavenly! #jasminesambac #flowerpower #flowersky #jasminesky #enfleurage
Making perfume is an abstract art. #artforyournose #artsky #perfumesky #fragrancesky #smallbatch #fragrancefriday
I didn’t see the link! I guess I’m having a, “duh” moment! 🤭
Who’s the artist!?
Mood when your vertebrae is in tact.💃🏾🕺🏿
I have a bottle and the hair perfume. So good! Have you read The Perfect Scent by Chandler Burr? I swear *this* perfume (Stash) is what SJP wanted to create but couldn’t because of modern perfumery fashion at the time. No house wanted to take the risk to create what SJP truly wanted. 💣 sauce!
Osmanthus Tea by One Day, which is a smooth, beautiful wear. Typically I see a lot of osmanthus-leathers or osmanthus-sweeties. If you want sweeter check out Osmanthe Liu Yuan. For leather and humus try Rauque. Fueguia 1833 Muskara Osmanthis is another hit (not leather). All-gender with allure!
You have such a cool life.
Love! Are you using these in a home project?
🤗 Special delivery from @fumfragrances.com today! I liked this sample, but my husband liked it more, so now we can both enjoy. Pachouli fans should try it. #perfumesky #fragrancesky
All smiles over here. Stoked you’re enjoying Ramble On! Thank you again for your order. :)
I love Baker Creek! I get their Whole Seed catalogs!
It’s not even funny anymore. It’s just terrifying.
10/10 rated fig scent. Activates with the summer heat and projects as you warm up. Sweet, fresh and made with organic ingredients. The color is natural. 🧩 #perfumesky #figfragrance #fragrancesky #figsky
I am a bean fanatic! People call me Laylagume. 😆 Have you sourced from Rancho Gordo yet? Great heirloom varietals you can purchase and plant. They have some of the coolest looking runner beans!
Beans are my absolute fave. Did you plant any runners?
Yep! I know who you are 😉. I’ll refrain from using your name if you wish to stay more private here. Thank you very much for the complements. I’m sending out your order first thing tomorrow. 🕊️ Lots of love from your patchouli pal!
Hi Nicole! Yaaaaaaaaay! I’m so glad you and your husband liked Ramble On! I see your order in the queue. I will pack it up shortly and get this full bottle to you ASAP! Thank you, thank you for your compliments and for another order. I’m beaming!
I positively adore that fragrance!
Watching this is joy! Thank you!
Yeah but the baby carrots are seen as, “bougie carrots”. And, they are very desirable in the restaurant world. Where I worked they paid good money for them. A lot of work to prep but so flavorful and delicious, like their nutrients were packed tighter in their smaller form. I eat the tops too!
I love dinky carrots. I love it all. 🧅 🥕 🫛 🧄
The classic aromas of Persia. 😍
If you’re subscribed to the newsletter you probably already know: I rebatched Ramble On! This Limited Edition is a 30 bottle release and is a patchouli proud perfume with notes of pine pollen, tobacco, molassas and eight vintage patchoulis! #patchoulipals www.fumfragrances.com/shop/ramble-on
Your writing is lovely. I so enjoy your blogs.
Time to have the friends over for squash burgers. 🍔
That’s me in my vetiver pond.
The fig beetles have arrived. They’re drunk on fermented introvert flowers (we know as figs). #beetlejuice #magnifigue #perfumesky #figfragrance #fragrancefriday #fragsky
Long live his legacy; sillage in heavenly peace. 🕊️
Wednesday is with us again, so grab your family and friends and drag them out to buy a book! - Michael
A light in the dark. I love Ozzy so much. I am grateful to have him as my ever loving companion in the form of the music and art he created in this world. Music is immortal and transcendent and he will live on in me. Forever.
I know they all call you, “The Prince of Darkness” but to me, you were a light in the dark. I love you so much. Words can’t express what you mean to me. Your legacy is boundless and I am so grateful for what you have given me. Your music will live on in me. Forever. #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath
There are no words that can soothe. Although I wish I could say something that would make it better. Sending you both peace during this time. Love each other every moment. 💔
Crossing my fingers for a beautiful bounty! 🐝🤞🏻 That trellis is just so picturesque. Like a fairytale.
Handmade perfume in the lab today. The color is all natural.
Filtering Aloha Lei today. Aloha Lei is the aroma of plumerias unfurling beneath a rainbow sunset. It’s fruity, lactonic, heady, spicy and full of white floral, “musk.” There are no added synthetic musks of any kind; it’s au-naturel. Summer heat makes it bloom! #perfumesky #summerscent #fragrancesky
I’m excited for my signed copy! Whoop! 🙌🏻
Thank you, Janna!
Heck of a guess though! Think *sweeter*.
Beautiful bounty! That garlic! 🧄 🤤
Trump’s ethnic cleansing campaign. This is shameful, downright inhuman and #unpresidential #notmypresident
I love that #perfumepun
I love James. He’s such a rad human.
Those look L🥔VELY!
I googled it immediately of course. Not surprisingly, the perfumer isn’t named. Probably trying to save face.
Nope! But thanks for guessing! 😃
Lovely lavender. It’s like she’s hanging from a chandelier.
It’s a real thing. It’s actually called Duckshit tea. 🫖 Ya Shi Xiang, also known as Duck Shit Oolong, is a type of Chinese oolong tea. According to folklore the a farmer called it Duckshit tea to ward off people and discourage them from drinking up all his prized tea.
Good one. 🤣
Good guess, but nope. 🙂↔️
Yaaaaay! It’s going to be fun. And possibly polarizing… 🤔
I’m going to make this into a perfume. I took this picture today so I could create from this as inspiration. I have gathered flowers like this and am now formulating. If you can guess this flower correctly I’ll send you a sample of what I am making. I always enjoy feedback.
I’m so sorry. 😞 I hear a plant based diet is good for no matter what ails the gut. In case you feel like reading up on it, this site has great, fact based evidence that cites all their sources. nutritionfacts.org/video/friday...
Look what the world is saying on launch day. #crashandburn
Neighborhood forages are the best.
They look lovely! 🥕 Do you eat the tops and stems too!?
I’m going to order this as soon as I get the newsletter. Stoked for you and your BOOK! Congratulations!
I’m praying for these people. God bless them. I hope they are safe and okay. These are our friends, our neighbors, our fellow Angelenos. We are one. ❤️🩹
I wanted to be like Michelangelo who was fun loving, foot loose and fancy-pizza-eating free, but dang it… I was never that cool.
Homemade and home grown everything is so rewarding. Did you hang dry your herbs or did you use a dehydrator?
Raphael. I love him. I relate to him the most.
Who’s your favorite 🐢?
Fawking *love* that one.
You are welcome, my friend! If I can swing it, I’ll make the drive just to see you and give you a good luck hug. 🫂
Go support the SoCal Indies! #perfumesky #fragrancesky #indieperfumery #meetthemakers #worththedrive #makenewfriends #scentsky
Been wearing Kodama of late. It was created by Miss Layla ( @fumfragrances.com ). The combination of yuzu and shiso uplifts while the woods, especially cedar, has this wonderful grounding quality that helps me to relax with all of the fun going on around me.
My fave is 🐪.
Ooooooh! Thank you for the hot tip!
Fat peas 🫛 envy.
I have been wanting to rewire and re-shade my lamp for a decade. It’s not in use though. For some reason I’m intimidated. I’ve never done it before.
This is a great start! I would love to see more articles on the impact of animal/livestock agriculture on climate change. The more people know about this, the more people help make impactful change wherever we can. 😃
Ah haaaa! Now I see. That’s neat they did a kickstarter and everything. It would be really, REEEEEALLY cool if they had it on display to smell next to The Endeavor at the Natural History Museum. I’m geeking out right now! Maybe I can make that happen somehow? I’m going to contact the IAO.
Ah, dang it. Would have been cool though. I guess U.S. taxpayers 💵 shouldn’t be spent on perfume for NASA… 🤷🏻♀️
You’re the coolest! Thank you for sharing that intel. 🤓
Thank you for splurging on my art. Every dollar made helps me keep the lights on. 😊 I’m very grateful for your patronage.
Yaaaaay! Oh I am BEAMING right now! So glad you’re enjoying it. My heart just soared. 🕊️
#SOTD is The Space Between by @fumfragrances.com in LA, who puts personalized notes in each package ❤️. My sample got better each time I wore it, so I splurged on a full bottle. It is magnificent. Organic and magical at the same time. I’ve never smelled anything like it. #perfumesky #fragrancesky
There’s a moon one!? Rad. 😎
Your video quality is so crisp and clear! How did you get the captions too? Was this fragrance made for consumers or for astronauts to acclimate/train for the aroma of space? Super fascinating stuff. Before you were describing it I shouted out, “PLASTIC. And soldering wire!” Trash bag fits. 🤔
Proud to be born here! Go San Diego!
🙌🏻
Proud to be an Angeleno.
You’re such a love. Thank you for shining brightly and for your support all these years. I’m blessed to know you.
I’m glad one of my perfumes could give you some grounding amidst the chaos of these hard times. Hang tough and stay strong! Let’s let the love and light conquer the darkness. 💪🏼
Those notes sounds so good together! Purple yam!? 🍠 💜
Your gifs are the best. I always get a little chortle from your silly posts. Sorry for the bummer though.
Thank you! Just to be nominated feels pretty special. It was a great night.
I didn’t win a golden pear but I still had a blast. Here’s me and my friends last Thursday at the Art & Olfaction Awards. Thanks to all who came out to support me. #AOAWARDS2025 #thegoldenpears #fragrancesky #perfumesky #AOAWARDnominated #artandolfaction #IAO
I looked for you too! It was a flurry! I had to take pictures on stage and I was looking for you up there too. I wanted to come over and give you a big hug and say hello. 👋🏻
Congratulations on People’s Choice. I was hooting at your from across the room.
Love those books. I collect them too!
Same! I love to pair it with monöi and other tropical delights.
A stunning aromatic combo.
Hahaha! I made it up. 😆
“It’s bad name now a thing of the past.” 🤔 I just don’t understand why patchouli ever had a, “bad” name. It’s hands down my favorite raw material in perfumery. Where are my #patchoulipals at? #patchoulisky #patchouli #fragrancesky #perfumesky
