Zel from Hollywood Hills

  • What fragrance(s) are you wearing these days
  • On cold days I was wearing L'eau by Diptyque. On days when I'm feeling a little more brightness I layer Molecule 01 (by Escentric Molecule) with Intelligence & Fantasy by The Beautiful Mind Series. I keep Beautiful Mind away from my face.
  • Last fragrance acquisition
  • Carthusia Uomo from Carthusia.
  • Next on your wishlist
  • I'd like to smell like the last Russian Czar on his wedding day.
  • Top three favorites of all time
  • I think Molecule 01 is genius. I think fragrance is a temporal experience. I don't want to have a life-long attachment to a particular smell. I'd rather live in the scent moment.
  • First fragrance
  • The first one I ever wore was Havoc from the Body Shop. Gravity was the first one ever given to me. I don't know who made it. I had patchouli around but my Mom didn't like it so I wasn't really allowed to wear it.
  • Favorite smells (not perfume)
  • The smell of a new compact disc with a booklet of liner notes. It's the combination of the paper (organic) and the plastic (synthetic) combined with the excitement of new music. I'm really sad about the demise of cds - their particular smell will become unfamiliar.
  • Interests beside fragrance
  • Music. California. Trend-setting, club-hopping, nail lacquer.
