Truly a spiritual experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know there\u2019s something wonderfully rich and mellow about the smell of a fine bourbon, the malted smell of peat, the gentle smell of a well-executed, high quality rum. Liquor also embodies a wide variety of nuances, from dark mellowness to sharp, almost stinging, astringent high notes. Think of a full-bodied red wine and the long range of notes you\u2019ll experience in its taste and smell\u2026 it\u2019s really no different when such accords are used in perfume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquor notes in perfume satisfy a particular part of the brain that seeks out external stimuli. They evoke the rush or \u201chigh\u201d of the simultaneous stimulant and \u201cchill\u201d from a shot of whiskey. Boozy notes can turn a perfume from a two-dimensional idea to a real full-bodied scented experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether you like your drink to be crystalline clear or refreshing, or smokier with a deep scent, there is something for everybody. But don\u2019t worry, you won&#8217;t smell like booze, just its best rendition that might stir some blissfully buzzed memories. Best of all, spirited and sensual fragrances like these won&#8217;t ever give you a hangover \u2013 but they may blissfully intoxicate others around you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>combining two of our favorite things is&#8230;intoxicating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359.jpeg",1920,811,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-300x127.jpeg",300,127,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-768x324.jpeg",768,324,true],"large":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-1024x433.jpeg",800,338,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-1536x649.jpeg",1536,649,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359.jpeg",1920,811,false],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-300x300.jpeg",300,300,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-600x253.jpeg",600,253,true],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Scents-Featured-e1651588569359-100x100.jpeg",100,100,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Alexander","author_link":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/author\/alexander\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"combining two of our favorite things is...intoxicating.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":647,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464\/revisions\/647"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schoolofbeautifulthings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
