I once visited someone’s home who had massive bottles of cologne lined up like trophies, each one with its own story. He’d spray something new every time we went out, and before long – I was the one obsessing over the next fragrance drop. I then started my own perfume collection and that’s when it clicked – scent wasn’t just a smell anymore. It was a mood, a memory, a statement.

That little obsession grew into a full-on love affair with everything that smells good: candles, oils, body care, all of it. But body butters? That became my thing. I wanted something that felt as luxurious as my favorite perfumes but still gave that everyday glow – that “I smell expensive” energy.
