LFG Mayor Cardamom!!! 🎊

Can you guess what we're tincturing? We've been enamored with the idea of exploring the aromatics of fermentation. A culinary and medicinal staple in so many cultures, the scent palate is *immense* but underused. #perfumesky #perfumery
Weapons was unexpectedly gutting. Adults in various positions of power constantly failing children and how trauma transforms people irrevocably.
STARTING SOON: Zohran Mamdani gives remarks about Islamophobia outside the Islamic Cultural Center of the Bronx
Me: hmm, should I read this 1988 sci-fi-novel
The novel’s blurb: on the planet Lassti, Oloitokitok is dead. was it the Sprookjes?
The pines did in fact make the "cookie" more Cookie 🤷🏿♀️😂 Amazing!
No Kings makes us feel very conflicted. Yes, large marches provide visibility and an opportunity to connect with likeminded people. But here in LA, No Kings had a significant cooling effect on the smaller more confrontational protests that actually impeded 🧊
Weve been taught a very punishment forward mindset regardless of political alignment. If we truly believe safety, health, education etc are rights, then we work towards that even when we're pissed off at the people who've been propagandized to believe otherwise or that its impossible to achieve.
Sometimes perfumery makes me feel insane, because what do you mean cookies have overlapping molecules with pine trees???
We've been working on designing new packaging for the past 1 year+ and had the eye opening revelation that a lot of "U.S. manufacturers" are really just English speaking middlemen who send your project to still be manufactured abroad in China, Turkey, Vietnam etc.
Whenever you come back, just know this is how fast Ill be buying tickets 😌
Hiii! Do you think you'll be back in LA before the end of the year?
Immeasurably excited about revisiting the wild childhood fever dream that is Killer Klowns with the 4D viewing experience youve created!! 🤡🍿 Happy to hear that youre honoring your creativity and your body in the face of the ever present pressure to grind and produce 🤎
Hot girl stuff this week: finished recreating the smell of a lightning storm. An accord that is both cool air, thick atmosphere, and lingering electric heat ⛈️ #perfumesky
The Sichuan and Paprika extracts are quite good! The capsaicin has been isolated out and we're left with earthy, fruity (citrusy kinda hoppy), and anticipation - they smell like a hot thing waiting to surprise you but no hots!
Sadly this is a common dynamic for ceasefires. Violence often intensified dramatically right before parties come to the table as military forces try to grab as much land/leverage as possible. Or in this case, get in as much killing and destruction as possible before the deadline.

Pepper materials evaluation with our friends at D.Grayi. One of these is 500k scovilles & two of us found out the spicy way 🥵 #perfumesky #perfumery
But he can't truly redeem himself while pretending to be someone else and rejecting the reality that he is the cause of his own dissatisfaction. I hope the show doesnt give us a pat ending to neatly diffuse the tension bc theres so much potential.
Russ is insufferable & his only saving grace was his talent on the field. When he steps into his Chad mask & tries to get up to old antics, he's confronted by the fact that pple only gave him the time of day bc he had (greatly diminished) star power at his back. Now he knows how alone he truly is.
Can we talk about Chad Powers and how it's not actually telling an underdog story? Russ aka Chad torpedoes his career & spends nearly a decade believing he's a victim. Instead of owning his shortcomings, he schemes his way back into the limelight. #Chadpowers
Two sisters, ever at (often) violent odds, living parallel lives where they each desperately seek belonging. Neither believing in their own capacity for goodness, but offering an abundance of forgiveness and second chances to those lucky enough to be loved by them. #arcane
Arcane is a gorgeous allegory for duality. The technologically advanced utopia that can only exist at the cost of an impoverished and abused undercity, held in the strangle hold of the utopian city's unchecked ambition. #arcane
We had fun exploring everyone's creations and the myths that inspired them! The show was really well attended and we had some lovely conversations 😊
I think we forget that contrasts create our perceptions. We know what feeling really good means because we've experienced grief

"Death and Other Joys," the perfume we drafted in tandem during our 6 hr residency with Craft Contemporary and IAO is balanced on the connective tissue between grief and joy. Death is real, loss is real, and joy becomes sharper by contrast. #perfumesky #perfume

Reading "Blindsight" by Peter Watts and the foreword by Elizabeth Bear has been on my mind as we see pple succumb to cold indifference as protection from grief and feeling helpless. #booksky
