A rough day. Things looked bleak. I needed to reframe myself. I needed to think about brighter things ahead. I immediately thought about using fragrance to get me there.

Phluid Project Humanity: A quick fragrance review
Jumping right into the review. My first sniff of Phluid Project’s Humanity leaned heavy on the coconut and ginger in that order. Maybe there is something else. I sprayed it on at 10 AM. Taking transit at 11AM could still smell it through my mask. I hope no one was bothered. I shook it up…

I will happily review La Mer’s The Essence (if I get a sponsor)

The key ingredient, in addition to their Miracle Broth, is Dormancy Ferment. It is derived from a flower and should help your…
