Smell Like a Hug from SKZ (to STAY with Love)
I fell down another fandom rabbithole and created a very niche collection of fragrances inspired by the members of Stray Kids. Each scent is inspired by known member preferences, fan suggestions, and perfumes/colognes the members actually wear. Each interpretation is blended to evoke what a hug from your fave bias would smell like for each special STAY to enjoy.

**TIPS**
You can mix and match at home for your favorite combo! Here's a few I've tested.
Minsung - blends together sooo well. OMG.
Changlix - makes Felix's inspired fragrance more "masculine" in tone and balances Changbin's for a nice combo.
Hyunlix - so, so, sooo pretty when blended together.
MinChan - wow....strong leader vibes. This is gorgeous, leans more to androgynous thanks to Lee Know.
