Hi friends! It's Nadia here 🙂 Happy Friday the 13th! For those interested in the December road trip to The Maker Hotel, I’ll be in touch soon! <3
Today’s newsletter is brief (it's been a wild week), but we’re diving into this weekend’s exciting events (like pilates, perfume, and turkish coffee), banana pudding perfume, and a fun fragrance media roundup.
WEREWOLF MUSK… 🐺 Aaaoooo!
PULP Fragrance just dropped a spooky six-piece Halloween collection inspired by scary movie nights with friends—perfect for today the 13th!
Fun notes in the collection include: pumpkin flesh, fog, dusty abandoned house, a stolen headstone, spilled cider, movie butter popcorn, blood orange, vanilla custard, and my favorite—werewolf musk.
