I haven’t had a mixed drink since my birthday trip to new Orleans last June.
Mind you, I believe I had sufficient of them at the time to last me with rather a few months.

(I only have to make it to early/mid March.)
I’m not a huge drinker to begin with anyway, so I don’t miss it much, however I do have to say…I kinda miss making good friends with strangers at the bar. And, weirdly, I miss the odor of cocktails.
Ξέρω; Περίεργο. however I’ve always liked to do that — sniff drinks — since a few of them odor truly interesting, as well as I bet that my super-duper pregnancy nose, which is like my normally increased sense of odor turned up, would pick up all type of complex mixed drink fragrance layers.

Where am I going with this…?
Excellent question, LOL! right here we go: Commodity Fragrance. They’re a niche fragrance line, as well as my nose steered me toward their screen just recently at Sephora.
They have an fascinating mixed drink fragrance style — however no, not literal cocktails, as in you’re walking to the mailbox smelling like a mojito. What you do is layer their private scents together to produce your own fragrance cocktails.
The layer-able scents are split into two different fragrance families, which they phone call collections. There’s the Black Collection, which has the moodier, more intense fragrances (maybe a bit more masculine), as well as the White Collection, which has the brighter, lighter, more airy as well as feminine fragrances, although both the Black as well as White Collections are marketed for women.
The name “Commodity Fragrances” refers to the private scents as well as exactly how they’re all named after daily commodities, like rain as well as books as well as whiskey…although a few of those aren’t really commodities, so it’s more of an evocative, interpretive thing.
The scents don’t actually odor like the things for which they’re named, so you aren’t going to actually odor like whiskey or rain or a book (seriously, though, I desire the book scent smelled like a book).
You can wear the scents “neat,” likewise understood as “by themselves,” or you can layer them with one or more of the other scents to produce your own cocktail, like the Elderflower cocktail, which is one part book as well as one part Magnolia, or the Canopy cocktail, which is two parts Moss, one part Gold as well as one part Book.
Yeah, it’s gimmicky, however it’s kinda neat, yeah?
I’m specific about my fragrances, however I had a great time sniffing these. I like great deals of different kinds of scents as well as perfumes, however I usually lean toward modern, clean scents that aren’t as well fussy or stuffy. If you’ve used any type of of the Byredo perfumes, I believe they’re familiar to these, like vibe-wise. These have a similar sensibility.
They’re quite expensive (the bottles are $99 each), as well as a few of these mixed drink ideas, like the ones with the three scents, I’m like, “Hmm… I such as this combo, however I’m not about to spend $300 for three bottles in one swoop!” as well as so if you’re not about to do that either, they likewise offer smaller $24 travel sprays, so you can still mix your own fragrance cocktails.
I believe the travel bottles are more expense efficient (and they likewise have some much better priced sampler kits). They are eau de parfums, so even the bit bottles should last a while.

I didn’t bring any type of of them house from the store that day, however I’m contemplating going back… I like the concept as well as the private scents. I integrated book as well as Magnolia on my wrists, as well as I kept smelling myself the rest of the afternoon.
