89. Integrity in Small Things – Honoring Care & Intention
👋 Hi fragrance friend,
Lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to honor our own work — to create with care, and to protect that care when the world feels fast, disingenuous, or careless.
Perfume has taught me this lesson: it’s not about doing more, but about doing things with intention.
~ On Integrity in Small Things ~
There’s integrity in every step of the Nectar Atelier process — filling an atomizer, using exquisite washi tape, writing a name, wrapping each order like a small ceremony made with love. The value of what I do and offer isn’t in volume; it’s in presence. And presence requires boundaries. It asks us not to lower our standards out of fear, but to stand by what we know is true.
So here, I return to that truth — that beauty can be slow, integral, and deeply personal. Each scent, each package, is part of that promise.
I wonder how this shows up for you — in your work, your art, your rituals. Where do you choose to protect the quiet integrity of what you make or love? What practices bring you back to your own sense of care? With warmth,
🕊 Flor at Nectar Atelier
