Glory to God.
It’s going to take a minute for this to sink in.
I feel so privileged to get to share this love for Perfume with you.
I can’t wait do even more.

I just experienced this and I’m so taken aback.
I just came back from surgery and I see he created an excel document he used as a timetable to track which meds to give me after the meals he brings

Honestly there’s nothing as fun as having a variety of perfumes to play around with and create many layering combinations for every day/mood/occasion
For me the way *shopping of perfumes is so enjoyable is also a reason
Today is my last day as the Brand Manager at SA’s biggest wine portfolio.
Tomorrow is my first day as the Brand Manager at SA’s biggest cider and RTD portfolio.
Gate keeping perfume will never make sense.
It is scientifically impossible for 1 perfume to smell the exact same on different people because fragrance combines with our own body chemistry.
But to each their own - if it makes one feel better.
Zara perfumes that that are dupes for luxury scents

Linda Mtoba unlocked a
Beyoncé-esque trick to the DBN July.
Shoot the content ahead of time, “serve looks” on the day, bypass the event itself because if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all, and all whilst vacaying on a different continent.
There’s something there.
I started wearing Baccarat Rouge 540 in 2022 before it gained unbearable
popularity. I just had to let it go, it no longer feels prestigious FOR ME. 😭😭
Jojo’s racism dressed as micro-aggressions and classism is very triggering.

Don't let perfume snobs shame you from buying what you can afford.
Pocket-watching is a pandemic.
Some of those Arab perfumes are great and they perform well.
Producers of Real Housewives are not finding the balance of aspirational lifestyles with relatable personalities

I’ve always heard from various brand teams that have worked with this woman, she always firmly stands by what feels is principally correct & she doesn’t mince her words when it comes to articulating what she feels is right.
In a world of flip-floppers, that’s a remarkable trait
Boity’s fragrance is being removed from shelves.
I’ve reviewed it in the past: It smells like it was created to mimic aspects of Baccarat Rouge 540. However I find the dry-down cloyingly sweet and salty.
Sincere admiration for her tenacity and perseverance as an entrepreneur…
If you rub your wrists when applying fragrance… *bombastic side eye. *criminal offence side eye

What’s crazy financially is that umuntu isn’t even drowning from living an extravagant, ostentatious life.
The basics of a house, car, accounts and sending money home are swallowing us alive.
God help us - there’s got to be more to life than this
Ascot Cosmetis & Sedgars are often a couple hundred Randelas 💵 more affordable than other retailers.
Here’s an example I did of studying prices of YSL Libre across all retailers:
- Edgar’s & Arc Store = R 1 330
- Ascot Cosmetics = R 1 130
- Sedgars = R 1 100
We’re not supposed to feel this scared and despondent about the future of this country, because the people in government are online cackling and jesting about people taking to the streets to demand better.

Last year I started praying about getting to travel the world to learn and share about Fragrances

I have a new genre of resentment towards people (women) who are knowingly frolicking with perpetrators of corruption/crime.
This country is in the dumps to sponsor your lil Diamond Walk GRWM hauls instead of basic public services. FOH.
Watching him watch his Liverpool team.
Snapped a pic of him while he snapped pics on his birthday present. Apparently the zoom on the S23 Ultra is so good he says he can see Jürgen Klopp’s facial reactions.
This man brings me joy & peace. God bless him & all his dreams.
Update: he’s gonna get to wear this jersey to watch Liverpool play *live* tomorrow in Germany.
He’s so excited to watch his team Bawo.

One of the best oud fragrances I’ve smelled.
I have to fight the urge to keep wearing it every day
Powerful without being overwhelming (as oud scents can be)
Performance, projection and longevity are beast-mode.

KefiBoo x Yardley Perfumes
Great way to bring talkability & premium feel to the brand.
But do consumers really believe that Kefi Boo actually voluntarily wears this perfume rather than a luxury brand.

Brands take advantage of content creators in the hopes that we don’t see past certain things
You overlook someone for paid campaigns. You ignore their email proposals for collabs.
Then you want them to do a campaign for you for “fun”
