It’s not for others; it’s personal, and it’s mine. My scents are inextricably linked to me — the good: the fresh blooms of the lilac that lives in my side yard; the bad: the trigger scent of Sweet Pea from Bath & Body Works from a time when I was having terrible anxiety; the weird: the grassy, yeasty smell of my dog’s paw; or even the banal, such as the smell of a freshly printed sheet of paper from my office. I know these smells like no one else does. A scent can transcend time and instantly transport you to a very unique place and moment; this is what I love. It can also be performative or transformational — who do I want to be today? This is why I loved the specially curated personal perfume recommendations generated by Gabor. After answering his questionnaire about my preferences, he sent me a super niche and distinctive list of five perfumes he thought I might love. I’ve still yet to try all of them, but they’re perfumes I’ve never heard of, and I can’t wait to get my nose on them all and make new scent memories from them.” https://www.illatos.com/notes/everything-feels-lighter-and-somehow-possible monthly 0.5 2026-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/51e69bb0-876c-4935-bb6d-1478c8f8197e/domestica1.png notes - everything feels lighter and somehow possible - Some perfumes want to take you somewhere else. Domestica stays close to a memory, to the body, to the kind of moments you barely notice until they're gone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/34259570-8fc5-4bb7-8468-8e6bdc975bce/Marty+and+Alvaro.jpg notes - everything feels lighter and somehow possible https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/53982fd4-a6e6-40f7-a7cc-c3db97b9e15d/DSC00401.jpeg notes - everything feels lighter and somehow possible - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/2a2c1b4b-022e-4330-b66f-4e1b9c471fc7/Marty+and+Alvaro+2.jpg notes - everything feels lighter and somehow possible - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.illatos.com/notes/layering-is-not-about-harmony monthly 0.5 2026-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1775674572896-G4GOARJUP9IO4BAZ75TN/1.png notes - layering is not about harmony https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1775674554511-HJXQUAN2EX7FBRCFPC88/2.png notes - layering is not about harmony https://www.illatos.com/notes/why-coffee-smells-so-good monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/3fc9e034-c552-4864-81f8-25bc30fcf655/unsplash-image-LMzwJDu6hTE.jpg notes - why coffee smells so good - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/a86a5c59-24ea-48c5-87a0-736e0b624693/Maillard+reaction+coffee notes - why coffee smells so good - Make it stand out Source: Seven Sisters Coffee Co. - https://sevensisterscoffee.co.uk/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1774777728271-DMUDVJJFRHB5GF4H58TK/acampora+musc+moka.png notes - why coffee smells so good https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1774777728382-TPWIV91A138EV5EYOI1D/akro+awake.png notes - why coffee smells so good https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1774777729425-N09OGVVWR2RMDIH8V3MR/bianco+caffe+amaro.png notes - why coffee smells so good https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1774777729496-9JGPJXQRWUMYH949I0M6/dannam+vietnamese+coffee.png notes - why coffee smells so good https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1774777730577-GQ7M9N660P723HR3TJ5V/essenze+di+polignano+caffe+speciale.png notes - why coffee smells so good https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1774777730714-HGKUD7OZHOHBPENAV9U5/teo+cabanel+cafe+cabanel.png notes - why coffee smells so good https://www.illatos.com/notes/interview-britton-daley-faeral-perfume monthly 0.5 2026-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1773581153118-VT24WSL1QDDQX92F8DKX/full-set.jpeg notes - something so human it becomes magic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/c07e7249-14db-4605-905f-1a02cb7190e5/9c6e8b28-a04d-473f-afb4-58a4e1549077-3.jpeg notes - something so human it becomes magic - You describe Færal as an antidote to modern reality. What does “modern reality” feel like for you these days? Everything feels really dystopic to be completely honest. I often feel like our time here, on this earth with these resources, is extremely fleeting. At the same time, we’re inundated with all of this corporatized creative output that is becoming less and less human by the day due to AI. So færal is definitely intended to feel deeply, eerily human, so much so that it transports you out of this world and into another more magical one. It’s like the opposite of the uncanny valley, maybe – something that feels so human, it transcends and becomes magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/f113fb35-ba2f-4e1a-a62f-6349ed7e116f/minou_strawberry_cake.jpeg notes - something so human it becomes magic - Minou feels playful and nostalgic, but also a little rebellious. What was going on in your mind while creating her? I had just had a really hard 2-3 years, where I became really sick at the same time that my dog had a stroke. It was truly a brutal time, and my dog ended up dying ten months later. (He was fifteen, so he lived a long, beautiful life.) So when he passed, I made a commitment that I would put all of my energy into færal. Anyway two years later, after tinkering with a million overly complicated and fussy formulas, I decided to make something that just makes me happy. Seven versions later, Minou was born. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1773580949272-MA712O1N2EV9FJWI0858/490679236_977997331117181_4305035101639780421_n.jpeg notes - something so human it becomes magic https://www.illatos.com/notes/random-access-to-our-memories monthly 0.5 2026-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/62a26fde-18ce-4e9e-881f-6cd50e65b5be/Daft_Punk_3f3bbbf643.png notes - random access to our memories - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1772384714346-509GDPNW4YHQ1BKOGC80/Mayhap+Coeur+Metal.png notes - random access to our memories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1772384714277-6SAIJQDI2XGVRL9Z7I5Y/LP+Gasoleather.png notes - random access to our memories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1772384715465-C9XE9L1Z647IZNSOQA4O/MM+Electric+Dreams.png notes - random access to our memories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1772384715559-NOPINXLDMJ06IUK5UB3J/MM+Replicant.png notes - random access to our memories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1772384716784-49K5GXMHLFVUEVGMZXHB/Sylhouette+Molotov.png notes - random access to our memories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1772384716477-L1VF3ZUFZRT9NRAERU0R/Moth+La+Haine.png notes - random access to our memories https://www.illatos.com/notes/5-plus-1-christmas-inspired-perfume monthly 0.5 2026-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/87117374-b420-4407-99a9-0c6b2651ccc7/serge+lutens_fille+en+aiguilles.png notes - 5+1 christmas inspired perfume - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/e918e0f1-e96f-4b17-aba1-33d666299f2a/hermes_hermessence+ambre+narguile.png notes - 5+1 christmas inspired perfume - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/0cb09d5a-aaa1-47fa-9ecc-d16a4d07f52d/histoires+de+parfums_1899+hemingway.png notes - 5+1 christmas inspired perfume - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/4b0d74a0-0f4e-43dd-8b45-53b7bfb25055/panettone_milano+fragranze.png notes - 5+1 christmas inspired perfume - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/8e8d7d4c-4491-4554-bd72-b8b27fb64ab1/etat+libre+dorange_noel+au+balcon.png notes - 5+1 christmas inspired perfume - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/1a6847d1-5f97-435b-9666-e04e22256d7e/guerlain_baiser+de+russie.png notes - 5+1 christmas inspired perfume - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.illatos.com/notes/how-does-our-nose-remember monthly 0.5 2026-03-21 https://www.illatos.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/64af3783-c491-4881-b9c7-304d4eddeede/Gabor_illatos.jpg https://www.illatos.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-22 https://www.illatos.com/privacy daily 0.75 2026-03-21 https://www.illatos.com/home daily 1.0 2026-05-27 https://www.illatos.com/store daily 0.75 2026-05-27 https://www.illatos.com/store/p/scent-advisory monthly 0.5 2026-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/690231d14bbacc07daf61753/153e738a-08e2-4c4b-89b4-1c0d8a57ee57/scent+advisory.png store - scent advisory - scent advisory.png
