107. On Faith, Healing, and Gentle Scents

👋 Hi fragrance friend,

A loved one was in the hospital. They’re home now, and I’m grateful. I realize how fragile and precious life feels when everything suddenly narrows to what truly matters.

What sustained me through these difficult days was prayer and faith, a quiet trust that even in uncertainty, grace is still present. There’s a humility in moments like that, when our world is shaken, when words fall away and we begin to feel more deeply than we can explain.

In the wake of this experience, I’ve been thinking about how scent can hold that same tenderness — how a perfume can create a soft bubble of gentleness, offering comfort, calm, and kindness. It’s not about luxury or escape but about connection: to breath, to memory, and yes, to love.

When I reach for something gentle, it’s Zouzou, Heliotrope, or Like This.
Soft, honest, and real. They are the kind of fragrance that helps us breathe again, reminding us that healing prefers quiet acts of care and surrender.

🕊 With kindness,
Flor at Nectar Atelier
