📣 79. When Scent Speaks Up | Truth telling

👋 Hi fragrance friend,

There are times when we need to pause, to rest, to gather our energy. And then there are moments when silence isn’t an option—when the world demands that we speak up, dissent, and take a stand. Both matter. One gives strength to the other.

Scent might seem delicate, but it carries presence. The fragrances we choose can speak before we do—trailing behind us, surrounding us, marking space. Sometimes a bold amber, a green vanilla, or a luminous floral becomes more than perfume; it’s a way of saying I’m here, and my voice—and more importantly, the truth—matters.

Some bold scents to explore with this mood:

1. Fleur du Mal by Dries Van Noten

2. Blonde Redhead by Neydo

3. Oud Cadenza by Maison Crivelli

4. Sugar Leather by Une Nuit Nomade

5. Havana Gold by Dries Van Noten

In turbulent times, scent can be a quiet act of defiance. A reminder that our voices, like our fragrances, linger. They shape the air. They matter.

Here’s to rest when we need it—and to using every part of ourselves, even scent, to speak when it counts.

With kindness,
🕊 Flor at Nectar Atelier
