Spending willy nilly in my mind

This is the stupid shit I would spend my money on if I had it to spend willy nilly. It is all about the descriptions! It is the same with wine descriptions. 

The Soft Lawn from Imaginary Authors

NOTES: 

Linden Blossom 

Grapefruit 

Laurel & Ivy leaves 

Vetiver 

Oakmoss 

Fresh Tennis Balls 

SYNOPSIS: Claude LeCoq published his first book, The Soft Lawn, in 1916 while still attending Princeton University. A controversial portrait of adolescent upper-class rebellion in New England, the coming-of-age story follows Hampton Perry, a charmingly snotty college tennis champ who, after years of having everything handed to him on a silver platter, finds himself handing it all back. 

A little known fact about the author: Claude LeCoq wore only seersucker suits, known in that era as the wardrobe of the poor, and it was his gallant presence at high society dinners and prestigious sporting events that brought the fabric into popularity among the affluent in the ’20s. 

WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: A great leisure scent, wear The Soft Lawn on weekends or anytime you wish it were the weekend. 

 

SLOW EXPLOSIONS 

NOTES: 

Saffron 

Rose Absolute 

Leather 

Apple 

Benzoin 

Cashmeran 

Arpora Night Market 

SYNOPSIS: In 1980, Gwen K. Vroomen quit a monotonous job, went to the corner bar, and – on the bartender’s urging – threw a dart at a world map tacked on the wall. She had never heard of Goa but knew immediately she needed to go. Three months later she was celebrating Hindu New Year at a tea garden high in the hills of Kerala, fireworks exploding below. She wrote of that night: “I was resuscitated by color, redeemed by the vibrant unknown.” Her self-proclaimed “Journey out of darkness,” dotted with unforgettable stories of night markets, river floats, and harrowing moped rides, inspired a generation of young Americans eager to buck the drudgery of ordinary life. 

WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: With pops of rose and hits of saffron, this scent explodes on the skin and awakens the senses. Every inhale will open you up to the idea of escape, push you to take risks, and embolden you to get truly lost. Let us know how it goes.

CAPE HEARTACHE 

NOTES: 

Douglas Fir 

Pine Resin 

Western Hemlock 

Vanilla Leaf 

Strawberry 

Old Growth 

Mountain Fog 

SYNOPSIS: Cape Heartache is the lone American contribution to Philip Sava’s wildly popular series of exploration novels. It is based loosely on an expedition he made to the Pacific Northwest as a teenager in 1881 and is generally regarded as the most candid of his works. Revolving around a homestead he built in a coastal grove of old growth trees, the novel documents his romance with a young woman who was a descendent of the Nehalem Indian Tribe. Its themes of leaving the familiar and finding comfort and solace in a new place still resonate today. WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: For any new adventure including, but not limited to, beach bonfires, first dates, party crashing, or simply barhopping alone on a rainy night. Like a scarf, wear the Cape Heartache scent in the fall and winter and observe how people gravitate to your warmth.
