What’s your earliest fragrance memory?
“I remember being 9 or 10 years old.
At the time, I was going through puberty and experiencing hyperhidrosis.
Forvr Mood
It felt like the smallest piece of luxury we could indulge in.”
How would you describe your Fragrance Wardrobe throughout the years?
“I’m more open to trying new things now.
Forvr Mood
I’ve learned to identify the beauty of scents in general.
Today, it’s rare that I absolutely hate something.
What fragrance brings you comfort?
“The most comforting scent has to be You Remind Me.
It’s very skin-like andmusky.
We designed this scent to smell like a warm hug.
It’s meant to remind you of a person.”

What fragrance do you spritz on to bring back good memories?
“I Am Her and NDA remind me of when we started making our fragrances in 2020.
I’ve been able to live with these scents for the past four years.
What is your go-to vacation scent?
“Hard to Get is one I’d take on a summer vacation in Italy.
It’s a romantic, feminine scent.”
What scent makes you feel the most powerful?
“Oh, definitely NDA.
It has white floral and tobacco notes.
But I’m okay with that.
I know nobody smells like me when I wear that, and it makes me feel powerful.”
What is your favorite candle right now?
“Right now, my favorite candle is Left on Read.
We reformulated it last year, and it has a beautiful, creamy coconut milk scent.
I also love Champagne Showers and Matcha Bes-teas.
Matcha Bes-teas is my favorite for my office.”
Do you have any advice for making perfume last a long time?
“With perfume, you’re free to’t be stingy when it comes to system.
You have to hit multiple points of the body.
I also like to spray my clothes.”
How should we approach fragrance layering?
“The rule of thumb is to start with your heaviest scent.
Everybody won’t love you, and that’s okay.
I’ve become good at not letting that stop my creativity.”
What is your hope for the future of FORVR Mood?
We believe nice fragrances don’t need to come at a super expensive price.
We want fragrance to be fun and approachable.
