My name is Olivia Genest, and I hail from Montréal, Canada. My foray into the opulent realm of perfumery began just a few years ago, serendipitously, amidst the quietude imposed by the pandemic. It was during lockdown that my fascination with fragrances took root—diving into this wonderful, labyrinthine journey of olfactory self-discovery. What started as a stroll through the vast harmony of designer and clone concoctions quickly burgeoned into an illustrious anthology of over 800 scents, marking a resolute quest for olfactive artistry. My moment of epiphany arrived with my inaugural encounter with a bottle of niche perfume, altering my scentsory course ever since; a return to the bygone days of naivety, now unfathomable. In this narrative arc, I present you not just an encyclopedic summa of my parfumistic marvels but rather a piece of my evolving soliloquy. I hope you’ll find my path of gusted narrations, intermingling and diffracting personal and outre space, of kindred spirit or intuitive wandering. My experience is deeply personal and may not resonate with all, yet I welcome the wonderful canvas of exchange and tapestry of prodigious narrations to bloom. Let this blog be the alchemy of discourse, both an open haven and delphic volume. I urge you to navigate, ponder, and engage with me in this fulgent odyssey. À très bientôt, Olivia.
