In this interview excerpt, Khalil Rafati describes his daily self‑care practice of spraying himself with 24‑karat gold‑infused rosewater (Leven Rose), which he keeps in multiple locations and uses repeatedly throughout the day as a way to honor himself. He contrasts this ritual with his former habit of smoking cigarettes for 20 years, noting that each drag used to reinforce self‑hatred, and explains that he quit smoking 18 years ago. Rafati also mentions that he does not use marijuana or gummies, but on rare occasions—perhaps a few times a month—he turns to full‑spectrum CBD to help with sleep difficulties.

little rosewater with 24-karat gold. I love it. What, what, what's the name of that one? That is Leven Rose. You can get on Amazon. It's 24-karat gold and rosewater. I have these bottles everywhere. I have them in my car, I have them on my table. I spray myself with rosewater, probably, I don't know how many times a day. I love it. That's fabulous. Yeah. It's just, it's just a way of honoring myself. Because, you know, Jorge, when I used to smoke cigarettes, every time I smoked, I took a drag off a cigarette, I was telling myself that I hated myself. Every time. And no more smoking. You don't even smoke marijuana, gummies, nothing? No, no. If I'm really struggling with sleep, sometimes I will use a full spectrum CBD, but that's rare. That's, you know, maybe a couple times a month, but no, definitely not. I smoked for 20 years. You've done it 18 years ago. I, I couldn't even imagine smoking today.
