Favorite Scents
Deep and mysterious are watchwords. Woods, incense, bitter clove, tobacco (but not blonde), spices, foresty, mosses, musks, some leathers (mellow).
Love scents: The Bow and Crown of Conquest, Cathedral, The Smiling Spider, The Pit and the Pendulum, Nanny Ashtoreth, Dee, Carfax Abbey, Midnight Mass, Magus, Tombstone, No. 93 Engine, Penitence, Sri Lanka, ... for starters... ;-)
On the flip side, scents I cannot stand: almond, pumpkin, cocoa, butter (wouldn't dream of using margarine, but as a scent?! Eeek!) and overtly foodie scents in general. (Oh, and florals? Usually an amped out disaster, especially rose, though I love them as flowers in the garden, just can't wear them. Not at all me.) Vive la difference! Trade ya! :-)
