I made a perfume for a girl I loved (a concept at least)
This is gonna sound so stupid. But iâve fallen in love with this subject so much that Iâve started teaching myself how to make perfumes now. Iâve spent a lot of hours studying chemistry, aromachemicals, even got a book on perfuming a few months ago. Been looking into proper suppliers and got a good supply of high end ingredients and musks. Iâm nowhere NEAR the six year educated professionals like our brother who used to be here, Mike Payne. But i feel like im grasping it well. Now that being said, I really wanted to announce this sooner because of how proud I am to have started getting into this hobby. Maybe itâs just a fixation that I get, as a brother on the spectrum a little bit lol. I personally think that my fixation might be not intense as it is now, but iâve always loved classy things and fragrance, and so I think this will stick for a lifetime. But now Iâm reaching a point where collecting is awesome, but not enough. I want to start making them. And so as a hobby, when I can find the time, Iâve began this journey. Iâm nowhere NEAR to the point where I can comfortably say that iâm good at this, nor will i let my stuff see the light of DAY for a little bit. But hey, no better place to announce this than here. So now getting into the subject of the post. The girl i made this for. First question is, why would I do this? Because i was in love once. It wasnât a perfect relationship, it was actually incredibly painful for me, and I had to end it because it was getting too much, holding onto this, not knowing where I stood. But i loved her, deeply. We were just kids in highschool when we first met. Danced to a song by Ed Sheeran. Kept dancing even after the song ended. And I fell in love with her that night. And never stopped. But unfortunately, it didnât end. I was tired of not knowing where I belonged in her life. Itâs not that she was never there for me, but her inconsistency is what broke my heart. It was a constant cycle of intensity, push, pull, then nothing. And then restarting. And honestly, I felt like i was kept close enough to be there and decently present, but never close enough to really BE there. And as someone in love for years⊠that hurt me a lot!
