New Scent: AFTER PARTY!

This one is for all the loyal fans of 2nd Cumming. 

A good many people were very sad when we were forced to retire 2nd Cumming from the collection. Unfortunately this is what has to happen to perfumes when ingredients are no longer available. I hate to disappoint people so I decided to rework 2nd CUMMING as closely as possible. And now we have AFTER PARTY. 

AFTER PARTY is a musky, sweaty (okay, quite sexy) scent that makes the skin smell like you've been dancing ecstatically for hours. The scent of AFTER PARTY is almost but not quite exactly the same as 2nd CUMMING used to be. The overall effect however is every bit as good. 

2nd CUMMING will always remind me immediately of Alan.  Hardly a surprise as I made it expressly for him. But strangely even though AFTER PARTY smells almost exactly the same, it still reminds me of something quite different. It reminds me of dancing. 


When I came to New York, I began to dance. At Studio 54, Danceteria, Underground, even The Saint. Nell’s, Palladium, Tunnel, Limelight, Area and Mars. The Pyramid Club, Save the Robot and the World. And then Sound Factory. 

Rather later on in Brooklyn, clubs bored me so I danced at parties in artist’s studios, lofts, old warehouses and factories, abandoned theaters and on rooftops as the sun set - or rose. In the summer I danced at festivals in meadows and forests under the stars. I danced anywhere, and as long as, the music was GOOD. It was exhilarating and ecstatic. I rarely felt so alive and I danced until it was over. 

Afterward as the sun rose, I would often chill with friends. We’d cuddle up talking quietly, listening to music while the adrenaline ebbed away. 

Maybe it's weird but I've always loved the way the skin smells after a long night of hardcore dancing when it's been drenched in good clean sweat for hours. That's the smell that After Party is all about: the scent of exhilaration.

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…

Detailed and practical, this guide explains concrete rebar in a way that feels approachable without oversimplifying. The step by step clarity is especially useful for readers new to the subject. I recently came across a construction related explanation on https://hurenberlin.com that offered a similar level of clarity, and this article fits right in with that quality. Great شيخ روحاني resource. explanation feels practical for everyday rauhane users. I checked recommended tools on https://www.eljnoub.com

Stories of dancing through the night, creative eras fading, or athletes closing chapters all carry emotional weight, and taking time to unwind with Geometry Dash Lite letting its music and repetition calm your thoughts can be a gentle way to process change while honoring memories, effort, and the excitement of what comes next.

The “musky, sweaty” scent isn’t everyone’s cup of Take Care Of Your Own Shadow Milk tea, but I like the author’s honesty about having to ditch 2nd Cumming and recreate it as close as possible. It’s artistic and not too showy.
