Desert Island Picks

Just came across this interesting post in the fragrance subreddit (linked below) and thought a similar question could be explored on the indie side of things. What 5 -10 scents or scent categories satisfy your perfume needs, and could potentially convince you to stop seeking out more? What indie perfumes (or other items) would you take with you on a dessert island if you were to be stranded for an unknown duration?

Hi! I am looking for a scent that will make me smell like I just walked on a beach in Maine in a thunderstorm. I don't want to smell woody or musky in a masculine way. Really hoping to get something very literal though that is oceany in a non tropical way. It could smell like I just got out of the ocean. I don't even mind if it is seaweedy. just like a true northern ocean scent that doesnt have florals or coconut or anything tropical

Welcome to the new IPAM Challenge! The idea here is to have a fun challenge every day of the week, related to your SOTD (Scent Of The Day). That is, for whichever single scent or combo you choose for yourself that day, you might see something like this...

  • Monday: associations. What memory, experience, character, or item does SOTD remind you of (real or fictitious)?
  • Tuesday: share a haiku or poem
  • Wednesday: if today's perfume could be in any shape bottle, what would it be? (Pictures encouraged!)
  • Thursday: pairings. What goes well with SOTD -- layering scents, food/drink, or something completely unexpected like shoes or vacations?
  • Friday: colors. What would be the color of today's scent? Pantone swatches encouraged!!!
  • Saturday/Sunday: Looking for creative ideas, if anyone has suggestions.
