"Coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just fine..." until a #hurricane decides to crash my Atlanta road trip. 🌀

While everyone else is checking the radar, I’m still focused on getting my nose on @parfumsobim Lestat’s Kiss at @fumedexpo.

What do you think:
Should I still make the drive to Atlanta?

My list of perfumes you MUST SNIFF if it's your first time going to @fumedexpo! There's so many more to include but my hand is cramping 😂

Also please use the amazing web app designed by @scentient_jess www.perfumepass.com/fumedatl2026

You can bookmark all these scents and more!

Edit to note that it is Zach from @punkanddandy
.... Not Scott 😑

I'm obviously looking forward to smelling at the debut scents and the new houses attending!

What are you most excited about?

You are @fumedexpo and you did the homework, now what? Jess Hempel is back to walk through how Perfume Pass actually works once you’re standing in the room.

Bookmarked fragrances show up right on your Exhibitors list, so you know exactly which booths to hit first. QR check-ins track where you’ve already been, and you can rate and take notes on everything you smell in real time, no relying on your nose’s memory by booth 40. Wishlist what you want to buy so you can actually budget your bottle money (allegedly). And the Message Board’s still there if you need to organize a meetup or just talk to another human between rooms.

Stay fabulous, sample first, and let the app hold what your brain can’t.

Overwhelmed by 70+ houses before you even walk through the door? That’s exactly why Perfume Pass exists.

Sat down with creator Jess Hempel to talk about the app she built after showing up to her first FUMED with a 12-page spreadsheet and zero chill. She walks me through how to research every house and fragrance ahead of time, bookmark what you want to smell by note, family, type, or price point, and get a real feel for the exhibitor list before you’re standing in front of it. There’s even a Message Board where you can tag houses directly, ask perfumers questions in advance, or find a conference buddy if you’re going solo.

Stay fabulous, sample first, and this time, skip the spreadsheet.

Saturday calls for a mint tea and coffee note that dries down to clean musk while still staying a fresh tea.

Our Heart Notes community 🤍 got an exclusive first smell of Lil Softie by @loreworld before anyone else, and we're already obsessed.

There's something so special about getting to experience a fragrance for the very first time together. Sharing first impressions, swapping scent notes, and discovering a new favourite as a community is exactly what The Dry Down Club is all about.

Soft, nostalgic, and seriously addictive.

Who else is counting down to the launch? ✨👀

Our tier community, The Heart Notes 🤍 got an exclusive first sniff of @5sensco newest fragrance before launch, and let’s just say… you’re going to want this one.

One of our favourite parts of building The Dry Down Club is creating moments like this: early access, scent conversations, and bringing our community deeper into the world of fragrance.

The notes. The vibe. The experience. All so good.

Who else is excited for this launch? 👀
