I think I’ve posted this before, but WHY is lilac such a hard fragrance to get right? It might be my favorite smell and almost no products live up to what it smells like when I visit my parents in late spring and the huge lilac shrubs are in bloom in the wind. They grew up with me and are now much taller. It’s such a briefly there smell and I wish I had ways to smell it whenever ☹️

#emma posts #it’s competitors for favorite smell that probably fall behind it are mostly other flowers and such #but also some weirdly specific smells that you would never find in a scented product #no product is going to be like your parents basement laundry room #or your dead grandmas house #or the smell of fresh clay in the art classroom #that also smells like the bottom of some lakes #those aren’t things you’ll find in wax melts and perfumes or deodorants #ah yes. a body wash that smells specifically like your parents basement laundry room #that’s a thing you can find #‘farmhouse basement laundry room that is specifically your parents’ is a super sought after scent #there are some products I used to use that I would love a vegan dupe of #but basement laundry isn’t going to be an option anywhere :(
