Sometimes I think about the people who sign up for this newsletter for Taylor Swift takes or literature reviews or whatever only to realize that they’re going to taken for every single ride I myself choose to go on. It will only get worse, I promise you.

Dawn Spencer Hurwitz is a perfumer in Colorado who has been designing perfumes since the 1990s. One thing she seems to be quite well-known for is her contemporary re-imaginings of vintage perfumes that are either no longer made or have been dramatically reformulated. I was pretty interested in trying something like that, so… I did. Plus, her brand is called DSH Perfumes. Have to support another initials woman. Hurwitz’s catalog is so massive that I imagine everybody who reads this could go place an order for five samples with little or no chance of overlap… so we will probably return to this well. (Even if you just stuck to her “retro nouveau” list, it’s pretty big.)
