Unquiet
Things

Eau La La by Genevieve very kindly featured me on her most excellent and fun Shelfie Sunday Instagram Series and I had a blast waxing extremely, purple-y poetic and at great length (because this is the only way I know how hehehe) about my lifelong fascination with fragrance and perfume and my 20+ years of collecting.

Here’s a brief snippet…

“In a world trapped in the claustrophobic confines of hideous reality, perfume is the crack that lets the light in – an expansive, boundless playground of the imaginary and surreal. It may only be a bit of psychic gossamer, elusive as poetry sculpted in mist, but it lets you slip through the world in a veil of elegance or a melancholy cloud of romantic longing, moving you to beauty that transcends the visual and tangible. A perfume might carry me to arid deserts with binary moons or moonlit forests where witches dwell in chicken-legged huts – places only imagination can conjure but scent somehow manifests.”

You absolutely must visit her account and peep at how she so beautifully pieced all my words and imagery together! Read more here!
