last summer after going to my childhood home for the very last time I came home and ordered a single-note honeysuckle perfume in a fit of... I don't know exactly. Big Feelings. and the PROBLEM is that it smells extremely nice, and it pairs really well with 'Fireflies', which is a blend meant to invoke being outdoors on a summer evening, but I can't actually wear them because it is also, essentially, Potion Of Extremely Specific Psychic Damage

#oh hey this smells exactly like I'm in my back yard in the middle of summer at age seven. I need to lie down on the floor now #I am so vulnerable to the bittersweetness of sentimentality and the melacholy of the passage of time it's stupid #I can remember curling up and crying over The Passage Of Time over my mom singing lullabies to my baby brother when I was SIX #which I found out really recently that brother had the EXACT same experience when my third brother was a baby #TENDER-ASS SENTIMENTAL-ASS EXISTENTIAL-ASS FAMILY GODDAMN.#IT'S STUPID #I can do the firefly perfume on its own but I can't even open the bottle of the honeysuckle without being laid low by Emotions #and yeah together they paint an astonishingly vivid and accurate olfactory picture of my childhood and I Simply Cannot #stupid. stupid problems for overemotional people #anyway if you want a honeysuckle perfume that smells like the real flowers uhh demeter's is very good ajdkdhsksgs #about me
