Plus, “the name is Alien Goddess.
I so relate to that.”

ALLURE: Alien has been around since you were a kid!
Do you have any fragrance-specific memories from those days?WS:My mom was a huge perfume fan.
A perfume genius, no pun intended.
(Shout-out,Perfume Genius, you’re awesome, I love your music.)
Anyway, [my mom] wouldmix essential oilsand make her own perfumes.
I remember being young and smelling her and thinking, What’s the mixture today?
Nag champa and chamomile?
That was a source of joy for me as a kid.
ALLURE: So what drew you to this partnership?
I’ve always been into everything and anything extraterrestrial.
I’ve also been into goddesses throughout history, mythology, and religion representations of the divine feminine.
Also, Radha, who’s basically Krishna’s other half.
She’s a beautiful representation of the divine feminine energy.
The Orishas those African female, divine feminine goddesses, we just don’t hear about them enough.
ALLURE: Everyone applies perfume in a different way.
Is there a particular way you enjoy?WS:Yes.
It means a warm scent, it means nurturing, it means intense cosmic creativity.
There are so many different [ways to be feminine].
Do you knowUgly Worldwideon Instagram?
It’s some futuristic different shit that is so inspiring.
She does her own makeup.
It’s intense, it’s fire.
Super fire.ALLURE: It’s otherworldly, almost.
I get super excited when I get a new face cleanser.
Recently, I’ve been exploring way more with face and lip masks.
The lip masks are really new for me, because I’d never used them before this year.
That’s a new addition to my skin-care routine.
ALLURE: Any specific products?WS:[I Love Dr. Jart+].
Themoisturizing face masksare my everything.
I’ve been implementing that into my skin-care routine at least twice a week.
Y’all have been getting a ton of buzz.
When I was a teenager (a long time ago!
), I was super into emo.
Seeing you give that alternative rocker aesthetic… Those three were the only ones and we need more than three!
The women played acoustic and the men did the electric.
Even though it was inspired by blues, it wasrock.
When I say that to a lot of Black people, they don’t know.
We need to remember.
We need to remember that we did this shit.
Who says Black girls don’t do rock and roll?
Look at Tina Turner.
Tina Turner specifically, was like, I want to dorockmusic, because that is whatIdo.
The rock-and-roll aesthetic isfun.
