- Catherine Haley Epstein @mindmarrow author of Nose Dive. I’ll be referring to this book many more times, so many gems in here!

When I tell people that I love perfume they usually say “oh, I don’t like perfume, it all smells the same and it gives me a headache.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To which I reply...that’s probably because you’ve only ever smelled what’s on the shelf at the drug store.🤷🏻♀️

But the world of fragrance is SO MUCH MORE varied, beautiful and strange then Hugo Boss or Chanel 5!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re curious about scents and what else is out there....
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
....here are a few shops that carry artisanal scents that you won’t find at Shoppers Drug Mart ;)
