A personal, idiosyncratic Substack that mixes fashion, fragrance and music fandom with candid reflections on the author's mental health. Readers get outfit inspiration, perfume reviews and cultural commentary in a confessional, irreverent voice.

A blog-style newsletter explaining the science and culture of Arabic and oriental perfumes, covering topics such as skin chemistry, fragrance notes and oud sustainability. Each issue is a long-form explainer written from a collector's perspective.

The writing is conversational and personal, offering readers a window into her creative process and hands-on web tinkering.

Miss Boux is a UK beauty blog that covers new gift sets and offers, mainly breaking down what products are included in retailer Christmas stockings and gifting boxes and how their value compares to the price. Readers get a quick guide to which seasonal bundles are worth buying and what's inside them.

REVIEWR publishes structured fragrance reviews of niche and designer perfumes, listing scent profile, seasonality, sillage, longevity and top, middle and base notes. The excerpts follow a fixed template with generic descriptive prose about each perfume.
