I wish they preserved part of the "Kowloon Walled City" (the most densely populated area in human history) as a historical site you could visit to see what it was like.

City of Darkness - Greg Girard & Ian Lambot

Home to 40,000 people at its height, Kowloon Walled City was by far the most densely populated place on earth. On a site measuring roughly 200 by 100 metres were squeezed some 350 buildings, rising 14 storeys or more and so tightly packed there was rarely space between them. Every available nook and cranny was inhabited, while the connecting alleys, stairways and corridors were reduced to an absolute minimum.

i wanna get a neat wearable perfume thats like melancholy and weird and a touch animallic. something that has the same quality of fleur dorange and feminite du bois where theyre both gorgeous but a little dirty and artful, but something thats more sad and aloof, but oddly comforting and cathartic in a weird off putting way. ive been circling putain des palaces, l’otpheline, rochas femme, and under my skin, but i need more to choose from. i know lheure blue is a classic of the genre and i will revisit it bur the last time i smelled it it reminded me of urinal cakes. i need something new in my life. none of the perfumes i have and use are moody enough. its either warm, sultry, comforting or sweet dumb bitch confections which i love but im craving something kind of emo and weird and understated.

collecting perfume is a hobby people don't realize is as expensive as it is until you really think about it

i tried a free spritz of each of these today and they both made me froth and drool and howl at the moon

The Signs as Perfumes

♈️ Aries

Fire Mars Scent: Myrrh Perfume: Amouage Boundless notes: myrrh, tobacco, guaiac A bright, bold, coppery myrrh-and-sweet-tobacco scent with hints of smoke, ideal for the playful, aggressive, fiery Ram.

♉️ Taurus

Earth Venus Scent: Costus Perfume: Francesca Bianchi Under My Skin notes: spicy notes, iris, leather, costus, ambergris, sandalwood, vanilla A spicy, sensual, rich scent, with a very Taurean sense of barbaric luxury. A touch of sweetness, textures of fur and leather, and the musky scent of costus.

♊️ Gemini

Air Mercury Scent: Mastic Perfume: Tom Ford Vert de Bois Notes: mastic, anise, patchouli, rose A medicinal-boozy hit of medicinal ouzo and the cooling Mediterranean scent of mastic, over a funky, androgynous 70’s mossy patchouli that oozes Mercurial trickster energy.

♋️ Cancer

Water Moon Scent: Camphor Perfume: Bogue Douleur!2 Notes: camphor, melon, cucumber, water, rose, mint A sleek minimalist aquatic scent with a Cancerian balance between tenderness and firmness.

♌️ Leo

Fire Sun Scent: Frankincense Perfume: Masque Milano Mandala Notes: frankincense, cedar, myrrh, cardamom, cinnamon, clove A powerful, radiant smoky incense with an unusually sunny, spacious feeling: a lion prowling the savannah.

♍️ Virgo

Earth Mercury Scent: Sandalwood Perfume: Masque Milano Lost Alice notes: sandalwood, carrot, iris, milk, bergamot, tea A subdued, contemplative, milky-tan sandalwood-iris, quite appropriate to Virgo’s conscientious personality.

♎️ Libra

Air Venus Scent: Galbanum Perfume: Parfums Dusita Fleur de Lalita notes: rose, lily, galbanum, violet leaf, geranium A cool, refined, ladylike breezy floral, with very Libran intelligent-aesthete vibes; the sharp green note of galbanum balancing a soft Venusian rose.

♏️ Scorpio

Water Mars Scent: Opoponax Perfume: Abdessalaam Milano Caffe notes: coffee, chocolate, opoponax, woody notes a dark, rich, dignified coffee-chocolate scent (like all stimulants, associated with Mars), elevated with resinous opoponax.

♐️ Sagittarius

Fire Jupiter Scent: Oudh Perfume: Amouage Epic Man notes: nutmeg, mace, oudh, incense A smoky, spicy oudh scent with a Sagittarian adventurous energy.

♑️ Capricorn

Earth Saturn Scent: Benzoin Perfume: Dior Dune notes: benzoin, oakmoss, aldehydes, sandalwood, rosewood A brisk beige cross between cozy benzoin amber and a dry mossy floral. Capricorn discipline and determination in a deceptively cheerful setting.

♒️ Aquarius

Air Saturn Scent: Euphorbium Perfume: Histoires de Parfums 1828 Notes: pine, black pepper, nutmeg, eucalyptus, cedar Euphorbium is the gum from a succulent plant, and allegedly smells like pepper, eucalyptus, or patchouli. 1828 is a lovely, airy, foresty scent with an Aquarian feeling of abstraction.

♓️ Pisces

Water Jupiter Scent: Styrax Perfume: Bogue 10 notes: fig, styrax, bergamot, ylang-ylang Juicy, sappy, sweet-green fig leaves and styrax, in a swirl of greens and shady-sunny florals. Contemplative and tender in a Piscean way.
