Do it yourself !!!

Does the world really need such scents? Summer rain, grass, snow, dirt, etc. I can still understand, because those are scent experiences that only exist in nature and cannot be imitated. But ice cream, tiramisu, sushi, lollipop, or chocolate? Who wants to smell like that, or are these bee lovers who want to get up close and personal with the little, nasty counterparts? The only thing missing in this lineup is Mama Lucia's spaghetti bolognese, Wiener schnitzel with fries, or Aunt Gerda's famous potato salad.
I mean, a bar of chocolate from the supermarket costs a euro less than a scent imitation for 20€, which anyway fades after half an hour.

But this tiramisu to spray is really over the top. What do you want with that? Should people around you literally lick you? Do you want to torture yourself with it when you're on a diet and don't want to miss the presence of the treat? For me, that's a good piece of auto-masochism.

To all those who miss these everyday scents, for example from childhood like apple pie, dirt on clothes, lemonade, etc.: Create these smells yourself by living and not denying the child within you. Bake yourself a cake, enjoy the scent at home, buy ice cream in a cone, get your hands dirty, go sledding, or just lie down on the grass in the summer.

Isn't it nicer to experience things that make life interesting rather than packing them into bottles? It's worth it to experience such events yourself, even if it means making a big bowl of tiramisu and inviting friends to enjoy it together.

Create your own Library of Fragrance and keep it alive!

I took your "whether it's making a big bowl of tiramisu" literally ;-D!

To answer your question in the last paragraph: The series is called "Library," you take a look, flip through it, and put the things on your shelf for later. You don't have to experience everything live; you just need to know where it is :)

A great shout-out, thanks ET! If the smell of tiramisu stimulates insulin release, that explains a lot to me; I generally don’t read anything in **bold**! Outside, there’s a sprinkle of SNOW live, folks! Inside, just keyboard and Wi-Fi.
