86. The Quiet Ways Scent Shapes Our Days | Perfume
đ Hi fragrance friend,
Lately, Iâve been reflecting on how scent moves through our days in quiet, almost imperceptible ways. A trace on a scarf. A shift in the air. A familiar note that softens the edges of a moment and makes it linger a little longer.
Iâm curious â what role does perfume play in your life right now? Is it a daily ritual, a source of comfort, a way of marking time?
How has your relationship to scent changed over the years? For me, my relationship to scent has become more layered and alive. Alongside perfume and maybe even why I love perfume so much, I find myself drawn to the glow of subtly scented candles, or the way rose and frankincense incense can transform a room with just a curl of smoke.
Perfume has always been both anchor and language for me: a way to return to myself, and at times, a way to speak without words.
Iâd love to know what draws you to scent these days. Just hit reply to share.
With warmth,
đ 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 warmthâboozy vanilla laced with incense and delicate woods, while Guerlain Gourmand Coquin wraps rose, cacao, and black tea in a swirl of spicesâdecadent 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 hazelnutâa 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 radianceâweightless but unforgettable. If you are in the mood for a sparkling rose with dewy petals, try Little Flower by RĂ©gime des Fleurs. As always, explore these scents through our luxe samples at Nectar Atelier, the perfect niche perfume gift â always wrapped in eco-friendly packaging for an artful unboxing.
