So now, we are advised not to spray on our necks... Thoughts? Researcher warns one place to never spray perfume: 'Significant health risks'

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.

Trying another Harmonist sample today from the "free" gift pack. This is a nice cinnamon spice but very fresh and light. It gives a nice little scent bubble for me, not. huge projection but thats ok. Time will tell how the day goes with Longevity, but so far this is a great warm weather scent.
