ScentFest SF! I am back baby!

Alright fam, real talk, sorry for ghosting the community for a minute. If I’m being honest, I lost the spark. That passion for fragrance that used to have me refreshing decant sites at 2am? Gone. Just wasn’t feeling it.

Then I went to ScentFest SF (June 26–28) and everything flipped.

Met up with my brothers

@Thomas Chavez

and

@Henry Clay

. These dudes have become genuinely great friends and man, we had a blast. Just hanging out, sniffing everything in sight, talking scent for hours. Also got to meet

@Lon Chaneyfield

and

@Antonio O. Centeno

in person, which was awesome.

Being around the brotherhood, soaking in the energy, remembering why I fell in love with this hobby in the first place… it lit the fire back up. So consider this my official comeback. SOTD posts are back, and I’ve got a mountain of samples and discovery sets from ScentFest to work through with y’all.

Speaking of, check the haul.

Real quick though, I had put Diary of a Nose on pause. My fragrance checker app just wasn’t happening while I was burned out. But now that the passion’s back, we’re going all in. Diary of a Nose is coming soon, and I’m hyped to finally get it out to you guys.

Today’s SOTD is a layering experiment from Mitti Parfum (their booth was killer, pic below).

I layered Virasat and Shikara and wow. It opens like walking into a Hindu temple, that warm, incense-y, sacred vibe. Then it dries down into this super clean, musky white floral that’s just gorgeous. Perfect for the high-90s heat we’re getting here in SoCal right now.

Good to be back. Missed you all.
