85. Perfume Reset Ritual — Rekindle Your Connection to Scent
👋 Hi fragrance friend,
Every so often, I pause my usual rotation and reach for nothing. No florals, no vanillas, no trail of sweetness in the air. Just space to breathe. It’s a quiet ritual I think of as a perfume reset — a way to listen to my senses again without the layers.
When I return to fragrance after a reset, even familiar scents feel sharper, more alive. Notes unfold with new clarity, like tuning an instrument to harmonize. Sometimes, this is how I fall in love with a perfume all over again as I ease my way back into it.
Do you ever take a break like this? It’s a lovely way to rekindle your connection to scent, slowly and with intention.
With kindness,
🕊 Flor at Nectar Atelier

Try Zouzou by Celine if you are drawn to nostalgic scents that feel like a golden cloud. For something equally soft, Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille offers golden warmth—boozy vanilla laced with incense and delicate woods, while Guerlain Gourmand Coquin wraps rose, cacao, and black tea in a swirl of spices—decadent yet tender. Amouage Guidance 46 is a bit brighter than the original Amouage Guidance, where pear, saffron, and rose unfold over rich woods and ambergris. Dries Van Noten Soie Malaquais lingers with notes of blackcurrant, rose, and hazelnut—a silky composition that feels both luminous with a gourmand touch. And for a rare, luminous quietude, Amouage Existence glows with skin-warmed florals, aldehydes, and serene radiance—weightless but unforgettable. If you are in the mood for a sparkling rose with dewy petals, try Little Flower by Régime des Fleurs. As always, explore these scents through our luxe samples at Nectar Atelier, the perfect niche perfume gift — always wrapped in eco-friendly packaging for an artful unboxing.
