As an avid journaler I am late to the Louise Carmen game and cannot tell if it’s popular in a Stanley Cup kind of way or in a The Row kind of way…

In the club we’re all trying to smell like a first edition set of Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past and the inside of Stevie Nicks handbag.

I have a suggestion for you. In times of trouble and strife, there is therapeutic benefit in being among trees and in physical contact with them. So if you can, go hug a tree today, the bigger the better. This huge old chinkapin oak is known as The Great God Tree.

Siting here sniffing on two scent strips dipped in two wonderfully aquatic raw perfume materials that are conjuring up some mystical foggy vibes. Can’t wait to play with them more.

In honor of A Complete Unknown being nominated for 8 Oscars this morning, here is the Bob Dylan lore around the name of my perfume brand Thin Wild Mercury.

I made a perfume for girls who fall asleep in their makeup after a few drink cigarettes that smells like lipstick, leather, and vintage fur coats and I named it Girl of the Year. #perfume #sotd #fragrance

I was inspired to create a perfume celebrating all of the significant cultural movements and events that all happened to culminate within Central Park’s Sheep Meadow

I started my own business so I would never hate having to go to work and I made my business totally online so I would never actually have to “go” to work. Alas, here I am really wanting to avoid being online on any social media platform feeling like I’m trapped at my work, hating being here.

We will never run out of perfumes to wear.

If Blood on the Tracks was any less painful, it would be dishonest. If it was any less hopeful, it would be pointless. Bob Dylan's most painful and brutally honest album was released on this day 50 years ago → cons.lv/WwItMg

I’m extremely opinionated but wildly non confrontational and my platform is literally just my indie perfume business so I can’t really say everything I’m thinking about the TikTok ban so I’ll just leave you with this: 🤬🪧

#sotd is Sheep Meadow by @thinwildmercury.bsky.social I don’t know how they got denim into a fragrance but it’s gorgeous and sweet and how vintage clothes SHOULD smell

Are you a Joan Didion or an Eve Babitz and what is your drink order back up your claim?

Saw A Complete Unknown for the 2nd time in theaters last night in my town’s single screen theater; my friends and I were the only audience members not with silver heads of hair. Sitting corner front row I was able to steal glances of the illuminated smiles on the faces of the audience members.

Reading a first edition is just more fun.

Almost to 30 followers 🤞 it will be a milestone as it’s the price of a Thin Wild Mercury sample set

There’s no guarantee you’ll live long enough to even get halfway through a full bottle of perfume, let alone finish it, so spray up baby. Wear it like it’s your last day on earth.

I’m gathering data for an important study: What’s your coffee order and what perfume do you wear?

Reached a major milestone after 6 years of running an indie perfume brand with just myself and my husband: we have production and fulfillment partners! I’ve filled over 160,000 vials and more than 6,000 bottles of perfume by hand and my husband has shipped over 50,000 packages since we began!

People who don’t like patchouli are easy to spot because they don’t have taste. #perfume

I want my perfumes to come across your nose the way an “ugly hot” man comes across your eyes. Like if Adrien Brody or Serge Gainsbourg were a perfume.

New scent samples arrived from thin wild mercury and I’m obsessed ahhhhhhh

Hello BlueSky 👋 I’m here to be the unofficial indie perfumer of the sky. I’ll probably post about 60s/70s/80s pop culture, fragrance & smell science stuff, and of course weird and delightful perfume.
