Absolutely deliriously delighted that this is a reoccurring column — and especially can’t wait to learn more about specific ingredients! I once took a scent design workshop from a beautiful and mysterious Québécois woman; we had to identify like 50 different scents and then create our own room spray based on a brief (mine smelled like wet gutter leaves sprinkled with vetiver, it was embarrassing), but now I’m HOOKED.

I'm so excited you're here and excited!! I LOVE to talk about perfume and also I kind of want to smell the vetiver-wet-gutter-leaves concoction?
You might think you want to, but it's definitely filed under A Very Funny Thing I Never Want to Smell Again.
