Serenity Now Scents and Sensibilities 
Very timely article. I saw Luckyscent touting a new fragrance called “Magic Mushrooms.” I definitely don’t want to smell like mushrooms. 🍄🟫

I agree! Or blood.

The blood one (But Not Today) was the worst perfume I’d ever smelled. It made me feel sick.
I was surprised that the demographic that was asking for very unusual scents were 18 to 20 year olds, although maybe I shouldn’t be?

Maybe it’s a form of rebellion. But sometimes the goal of non-conformity can become conformist, don’t you think?

Yes & it has been so since teenagers were invented! Look at Punk. A London movement driven by McClaren & Westwood the travelled across the UK & crossed the Atlantic to New York. It’s no longer seen as rebellion. Viv became haute couture, was given & accepted a Damehood & McClaren toyed with standing for Mayor of London.

Yes – if everyone is unique, no one is unique… which would probably not be a bad thing!

I’m obviously not the audience for perfumes smelling of bodily fluids. In my working like I smelled the real thing & none of these scents actually smell of real blood, saliva, semen etc. the ones I’ve had my nose on smell of bilge, seaweed, iron & salt water. Pretty unpleasant.
Marlou is the exception here. I enjoy all of them despite not being a musk lover. I bought Poudrextase which is glorious
