Today I get to break out almond leather, simple yet pleasant. I see almonds are taking a lot of flak this year but as I have learned with lavender, there is always a way to make even undesirable scents desirable. In my best /u/RedMosquitoMM imitation, I paired with SW Samhain AS. You have the edible almonds and incense-y frankincense with layered edible nutty pumpkin and more incense. Not bad going from dryer to sweeter. Food - #PHOTOCONTEST
As for the real scent sommelier /u/RedMosquitoMM appreciation, I hope that I can do it with his style. This appreciation has to do more with presence than obvious olfactory acumen that helped propel him to be the 2022 LG winner. I enjoy the diverse knowledge in several areas but think that the interactions within the community supersede skillset and virtuosities with scent, coffee, photography, and music among others. I remember this starter guide to scents with the statement, “I encourage y’all to share your own lists below.” Undoubtedly this is one example of creating discussion amongst the community and is what makes the community whole. I have learned a lot from /u/RedMosquitoMM posts and his questions/answers in the daily question threads as well. I am thankful for someone who is able to teach, learn, and interact with us all. So thank you /u/RedMosquitoMM.
