From Meme to Mainstream: How Rich Auntie Scents Captured Beauty
The aesthetic demands far more than a hasty double-spry on the neck before exiting the house. It requires an architectural approach to body care that modern fragrance collectors term signature scent layering.
The process often begins with unscented or matching botanical bath oils applied directly onto damp skin to lock in lipids.
