Skipping the knitting for the monthly meetup and instead trying to finish my intro sewing class homework. Also brought the d.grayi AAPI Heritage Month discovery set for a sniff sesh in anticipation for the upcoming Lunar New Year. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Another perfume event on my radar!

An indie perfume expo in the Midwest has my name all over it. March 28 & 29 in Chicago. Anyone else on #perfumesky planning to go? There’s still time to get a $30 early bird ticket, good for both days! fumedexpo.com

First scent mail delivery of the year from Anjali Perfumes @anjali-perfumes.bsky.social featuring Under the Mango Tree and two travel sprays: Classic Kaapi and Iconic Island. Stunning fragrances — Under the Mango Tree there is a replacement of the full bottle I used last year! #perfumesky

Hi again! Been a minute. I’ve been doing my best to make local connections, like this perfume meetup last October. What have y’all been up to while I was away? #perfumesky
