#perfume things

Yes! Thank you! 😁

I'm not sure what this says about my ego, but most of the fragrances tend to associate with Bernie are ones that I wear myself (not that I'm anything like her lol)

Generally speaking, I think Bernie is one for fresh/clean and sandalwood-y fragrances. I also think that labels don't matter much to her, she just picks something she likes and rolls with it, regardless of brand or price tag.

I think in the 90s she was a ck one girl and she probably kept wearing that one for decades. Maybe she also had a bottle of something slightly more feminine/elegant (yet still light and fresh) for special occasions, like 1881 pour femme by Cerruti or - yes, really - J'adore.

Hermès Voyage is another one of my personal favourites that I can picture her wearing, and the theme also fits her personality quite nicely.

Another one that I love and that used to be my headcanon scent for Bernie until recently is Une Nuit à Montauk - Nothing but Sea and Sky by Une Nuit Nomade. (Because just because she doesn't care for labels doesn't mean she can't wear Niche Perfumes, right?). But I recently discovered another beautiful fragrance by the same brand and I think this might be my ultimate Bernie Wolfe headcanon fragrance: Une Nuit à Oman - Sun Bleached. It is clean and creamy and fresh yet at the same time somehow also warm and slightly spicy. And it even has vanilla, which I know a lot people in the fandom like to associate with her - I could never get behind it because usually I'm not a massive fan of vanilla, but here it really works as it's not overly sweet.

The 'sounds wild, I need to try it' list keeps growing
