Absolutely inspiring writing. About fragrance as well. The experience of wanting to have it all and the ability to acquire it, almost no matter where it is……….. The easier to acquire of what is available, the patience and perseverance to acquire a fragrance or other object less “obtainable” (attainable) ……… receiving it, trying it, enjoying it, and putting it aside ……to desire, obtain and experience more and more and more…….. and the urge for more once again..

I love not being able to not get something….. it’s such a welcome feeling…..

The last part💯 10 or less perfumes that bring absolutely JOY is so much more fulfilling than 50+ you like/feel meh about! Love both of you! Loved this!

Tracy is legitimately one of my favorite fragrance creators on any platform. Fantastic, evocative storytelling. While my taste and hers don't really overlap a whole lot, that is totally irrelevant to me. At its best, fragrance is high art, and the ability to describe how that art makes us feel and what images it paints for us is quite special. It's one of the best things about the hobby to me!
