    Beer from the Marsh Woman's Brewery

    A beer flavored with marsh arrow grass, yew berries, purple foxglove, and giant hogweed. I don't get any beer, but I do smell a lot of grassy/aquatic notes. It makes me think of fresh mown lawn thats slightly damp after a heavy rain, mixed with some sort of flower. I think I like it.

    Poisoned Apple

    I was born on October 30th, so fall scents are always a favorite. Spices, leaves, smoke, pumpkins, and of course, apples. So when I decided to try something new, I gravitated towards Poisoned Apple. In Bottle: Smells a little like a green apple jolly rancher mixed with artificial apple scented candle. A touch of something floural On skin wet: HOLY !@#$$ Owowowowow. My nose is burning from the florals. I don't know which of the three, if not all of them are too powerful, but I do not like this this. The apple isn't the front player at all. If Snow White's apple tasted the way this smells, I'm not surprised she went into a dead faint. On skin dry: Thank god it only took a few minutes for the dry down to make the notes behave, and let the apple come out again. They work in harmony, and its quite soothing with a little touch of something spicy. I'm glad I took the time to let it mellow, but my nose still stings.

    Jolly Roger

    This was in fact one of the first sets I ordered, specifically for summer. I'm a big fan of sea voyage fantasies, and constantly dream about sailing the open sea (Possibly in completely inappropriately stylized leather attire). Jolly Rodger does not fail to please in that regard. In Bottle: Salt. So much salt. Crispy sandy salt and aquatic notes. No rum. Wet: Oh, we have the woods now! Makes me think of the way a dock smells after its had a good soak, and is now baking dry in the high noon sun. The leather is a nice undercurrent. Dry: The rum's flittering out. After two applications from morning to night from an imp, the rum finally decides it wants to come out just as the sun sets. Its slightly spicy and boozy, and deliciously mixed well with the salt and leather notes. The wood has faded out though, to my eternal sadness. Another dab's needed to bring it back to play.

    The Antikythera Mechanism

    On my wet, the metallic and lubricant smells come out with a BANG. I feel almost greasy in it. Then on drydown it mellows down, but still feels pretty metallic. On my friend however, for some reason it imediatly comes out as HONEY. Sweet sweet wildflower-in-my-tea honey. I immediately insisted she take it. Whatever the differences in our skin chemistry are, she's much better off wearing it than I am.

    Thats why Bread-And-Butterfly ended up on my list. But I've heard that its pretty weak and doesn't really hold the heavy butter/bread scent that'd work for a Tea-Party scent. Is that true for you or anyone you know?

    I've heard good things about White Rabbit. Anyone like it?

    I have Dorian as a regular staple. Its nice, but I was looking for something a little more whimsical.

    I'm about to order my second batch of scents, this time for autumn. But one of the highlights of the fall season is Youmacon, an anime convention held at the Detroit Ren center every year. I'm cosplaying as Arthur Kirkland, who is for those who are not familiar with Hetalia, the human embodiment of Great Britain. I've narrowed down my list of selections based on the themes of teas and cake, to Bread-And-Butterfly, Eat Me, and Doormouse. I was wondering which you'd choose to represent a very posh, dignified British gentleman who is overly fond of tea, and imaginary creatures? Or do you have better suggestions? Essentially, I'd like a scent that captures the feeling of the picture bellow

    Kill-Devil

    It smells ridiculously sweet in the imp. I have an insane urge to taste the stuff, but I know better! Wet on skin though it has zero throw on me. I have to press my nose right to my wrist, and that doesn't really give off much. Same for drydown This would be so wonderful, but my skin seems to absorb all the smell, or I'm just not sensitive to it.

    Miskatonic University

    My first review! I got an imp of this stuff, and opening the bottle, I got the imediate impression of sweet Irish Coffee, and the sort of musty-book smell that makes me think of old horror paperbacks. On my skin wet, it takes on a muskier, leathery scent, but its still very nice. Just lacking that sweet note that attracted me so much in-bottle. Dry down: I feel very 'adult' with this on. Sexy, stern librarian smell. I like it.

    So I'm doing a male rendition of Final Fantasy's traditional white mage (healer) job class for cosplay. I want to get an early start, and get my scented oil out of the way. What comes to mind when you think of healers?
  13. I'm not complaining, since I was clearly told it can take 2-4 weeks. But I'm just so excited to get my order. Especially since I'm going away for a weekend to my best friend's graduation, and I want to have the right scent picked from my order for her grad party.

    Okiya Atmosphere Spray

    Browsing the Trading Post, I stumbled across Okiya. I myself don't tend to go for flower scents, but my best friend is a huge geek for all things Japanese, and the listed combination sounded perfect for her. So I decided, as a late birthday/early graduation gift, I ordered a goblin squirt. When it arrived, it alarmed me that such a tiny thing cost me 10 dollars. Determined to make sure I hadn't purchased a dud for my friend, I tested a single squirt on a handkerchief I use to wrap up my tarot cards. Imediatly I got hit with the sweetest flower scent I've ever encounter, underscored with something very boozy that made me pleasantly light headed that I definitely recognized as potent sake . There were also crisp notes that I imagine is the green tea. 24 hours later and sniffing it still gives me something, though its mellowed out to a mature feminine fragrance that I find quite comforting. I think she'll really like it.

    What BPAL would this fictional character wear?

    I think Mako would look deceptively green and soothing, but then slap you in the face when you unleashed it. Eucalyptus, maybe? Volt: Leather with a shock of eucalyptus, green mint, elemi, ravintsara, and lime. The Coil has the ozone note, but seems a little too floral: The Coil: Ozone, eucalyptus and mint with purple orchid, passionflower, white ginger, and purple lotus. Part of me wants to give Cloud a very manly Leather scent (SOLDIER Uniforms. <3), but with an undecurrent of something ridiculously feminen, floural, and sexy. After all, the perfume he wears as Ms.Cloud in WallMarket never does actually leave your Key Item menu. Nor does that dress, wig, and sexy underwear for that matter. Suspicious, no?
