Some weeks I reach for a signature scent and stick with it.


This week? I wore three.


Because apparently, my nervous system wanted options. Thank you fibromyalgia flare up!


Each one matched a different day, a different emotional need —


Here’s what I wore and why:



Atheeri by Lattafa

Lattafa fragrances are some of my favorite and this one has my

Sweet, musky, creamy — this one hits like powdered sugar with side-eye.

I needed something grounding that still felt flirty. Like I had my sh*t together, even if I was Googling “how many coffees is too many” by 10 a.m.

It smells feminine, sensual, and soothingly extra.



Louis Vuitton Attrape-Rêves

This was a splurge purchase last February when we were in Beverly Hills. It truly is beautiful

This scent is airy and light. ️

It’s pink pepper and quiet strength.

I wore this when I needed to feel connected to something gentle — to memories, to softness.

It’s not loud. It’s wonderment. It lingers.



Phlur Beach Skin + Peach Skin (Layered)

Summer in survival mode

This was my “I need to feel better, so let’s pretend I’m at the beach” combo.

Peach Skin is juicy, flirty, bright.

Beach Skin adds that salty-skin, sun-drenched vibe.

Together, they’re a sun kissed exhale.

A wearable reminder that flare ups and chaos can be cute if you spray it just right.



Why Fragrance Matters to Me

Scent is how I regulate.

It’s how I comfort myself.

It doesn’t just make me smell good —

it gives me a feeling to hold onto.


Some days, I don’t know what I need until I spray it.


That’s why I share this stuff.


Because it’s not just about perfume — it’s about permission. To feel. To shift. To express.


To be Sooo Human.
