A black and white photo shows two jazz musicians performing. Miles Davis plays the trumpet on the left, while John Coltrane plays the saxophone on the right. Both are dressed in suits, performing under a spotlight, embodying the 'jazz cats' spirit.
Two Jazz Cats
Jazz musicians started calling each other CATS in the 1920s. Cats, like Jazz musicians, were out at night, always landed on their feet, resourceful, relied on themselves and were slightly aloof from society. #cats #milesdavis #johncoltrane

My Perfume Playlist
Here’s some of my recent playlist, and these songs really hit me in a way that makes me imagine them as scents. it’s funny how music can feel like a fragrance — the warmth, the intimacy, the playfulness, the joy — each one carrying its own little world. 🎷 A Love Supreme → Diptyque Fleur de Peau
