unfinished THINGS

A voltage problem in the manufactory leaves me with broken lamps, a dead balance, and a vanilla perfume that will have to wait. With my plans interrupted, I find myself thinking about all the things that remain unfinished when you run a small perfume house. I share a lesson from a former boss, look back at old bottles and forgotten body oils, and explain how an idea from years ago can become the starting point for a new perfume. A personal reflection on making peace with unfinished work—and allowing yourself to close the drawer for a while.
