ok doing a flash perfume genie while this site still exists. here's how you play: tell me a specific memory or feeling you want to evoke (the more specific the more likely you will be to get a reply!). i'll find you a perfume sample to evoke it. ok go.
again just "woodsy" or "fresh" or "happy" isn't going to help me as much as specific places, photographs, scenes from movies or novels you wish you were in, time periods, vibes
need to take a break here but i'll be back if you drop your requests?

something a mentor of mine once told me that i will pass along: a great way to stay curious/stretch yourself into something new is to pick a new-to-you obsession every season -- can be a word, a genre, an actor, a color, a place -- and curate your own little festival around it
and suddenly you start to refract the world around that thing -- so if you pick, say, opera, or F1 racing, or emily dickinson, or diana ross, or ANYTHING + start reading books about it + listening to podcasts/albums + doing double-feature movie nites new patterns will emerge
and suddenly the world is bigger and more open to you than you imagined, because things you didn't even expect have resonance just because you are trying to shove them into your seasonal obsession; you start to see connections that weren't there before. anyways!

if i ran/curated another weekly fall movie club at last (with a discord to discuss), what vibe would you be into
we've done screwballs and whodunnits so far and it has been great -- so...thinking of doing this again
Honestly tempted to just do hotels because I've long wanted to curate a hotel film festival but open to the people's choice
