Clinophilia

Believe it or not, the idea for this came even before Rose et Rosé, Thalassa, and Theobroma, haha! (Though they all wrapped up around the same time, and I already spoiled it to those who placed first-round pre-orders, haha).

Right when I started blending, Phi Phet mentioned there was an aromachemical that smelled literally like unwashed hair, haha. So I bought it, and when I smelled it, it instantly reminded me of a nostalgic, funky pillow—that oily, greasy hair scent mixed with shampoo. It’s such an intimately close-to-home concept; everyone has a bed, so I wanted it to be something relatable. I set three rules for myself: 1. It has to be an everyday wearable scent. 2. Not overly complicated (it's a bed, why complicate it with a million hidden facets, haha?). 3. 1,000,000% musk—bold, prominent musk.

But once I started experimenting, that hair note was so intensely piercing that I had to ask myself: would I actually want to wear this every day? After about half a year of tweaking, I finally landed on just the right balance. It’s a piece I can proudly say I reach for quite frequently.

Number of mods: 18 (Taming that pesky hair note was a nightmare, haha).
