Evacuating, and can only choose one…

Okay, I’ve seen plenty of those, “If you could only choose one fragrance from your collection,” hypothetical questions, but then it actually happened to me.

I was (fortunately?) out of town when our whole area had to evacuate last weekend due to the Spokane area wildfires, so was left with some very random fragrances I had stashed in various locations (I typically travel with a bunch of small decants/samples, but had already drained those). We were able to get back to our house yesterday, which we are so grateful is still standing, but remains in an evacuation zone and unsafe to inhabit until the fires become more contained.

In doing a quick grab of some clothing, essentials, and securing some things around the house yesterday, I was (briefly 🥹) reunited with my fragrance collection, and limited myself to taking just a small handful of samples and one FSB. It may have been smarter to grab my most expensive, or hardest-to-replace bottle, but I went for comfort. Philosykos EDP simply makes me happy smelling like a fig tree, and all I want is some familiar comfort at the moment.

Which bottle would you choose from your collection?

    So glad it is still standing. Sorry you are still displaced. This is a fun question. Easy for me. Angelique Noire. I call it my “can only bring one to the island” fragrance.

      Haha, awesome you’ve already thought about this! I’ve only tried Angelique Noir once, but can definitely see how special and versatile it is.

      (Sometimes I call it my crack fragrance but feel like this is a posh app 🫣🤪)

      HAH I appreciate it, I am long past pretending to be classy 🤷‍♀️

    Omg! You must be grieving so much. I am glad you could save one that can bring you comfort. My collection is small so I am limited with what i could grab. But right now I'd say my bigger bottle of Gorgeous Gardenia. It's my signature scent and surprises me with how much i like it every time i put it on

    I'm glad you are okay and that the house is still standing! And love your choice of perfume!! 🙌 I think mine would be Fils de Joie although it's a tough choice 😅
