"A sign installed in the largest wildfire burn I’ve ever seen, along the BC/YK border. Borrowing the aesthetics of BC Recreation Site signs, once again pointing to the overlaps of outdoor recreation, resource extraction, and the consequences of the climate crisis. Most recreation sites in BC exist along previously built logging and mining roads.

“Forced into a great and difficult transformation” was a line I heard in a lecture on Buddhist philosophy I was listening to on my drive up north. But it became another mantra I thought about while living in a place that’s been utterly transformed by resource extraction over the past century, and as I thought about the burnt landscapes I drove through."

- being the most gorgeous woman at the lemur house

- meeting a beautiful woman at a dive bar, having sex with her in the bathroom, and then sharing a cigarette with her outside at 3 am

- a chic flower shop at 3 pm in the middle of a heat wave

- the smell of someone’s skin approximately 3 hours after you’ve all done too many tequila shots

- being licked head to toe in a mysterious older woman’s attic. Possibly by the older woman, or possibly not

Also the fact everyone on Fragrantica says it’s a fall scent is ridiculous, it smells better the more you sweat and is an ideal summer scent.

Below are some of my favorite recent reviews to help you understand that no one is normal about this scent:

no matter what the situation is, they're always bringing the social interaction to a screeching halt with these jokes. nobody ever wants to participate in this joke with them. nobody agrees with the premise. nobody ever knows what to say afterwards, it's just an awkward moment and a subject change. but they just keep doing it.
