    Mme. Moriarty: Misfortune Teller
  • Favorite Scents
    My nose isn't all that experienced yet, but so far I seem to enjoy spicy/sweet, woodsy, and foody scents. This is based on my favorites being Shub, Mme. Moriarty, Snake Oil, Yggdrasil, Bewitched, Fae, R'lyeh, and Dorian.

    I am now going to demonstrate my absolute lethargy by pasting in my interests straight from my LJ. This means they will be alphabetized, separated by commas, and LEGION. Shall we?<br /><br />accordions, aimless wandering, archaeology, atheism, batman, bizarre hats, books, bpal, caves, ceramics, classical studies, clubbing, coffee, death note, dexter, dostoevsky, dr. horrible, dresden dolls, drinking tea, ergo proxy, fan fiction, faust, firefly, flute, french, grammar, h.p. lovecraft, halou, hamlet, history, hot chocolate, isolation, japanese, jthm, latin, laura veirs, lemony snicket, libraries, maritime history, medieval studies, mello, muse, mushrooms, nietzche, nightmares, oatmeal, odd socks, opera, pajamas, paradise lost, philosophy, pirates, placebo, poetry, psychoanalysis, pyschology, radiohead, rain, rats, ray bradbury, roald dahl, roller-coasters, ruins, sandman, scones, sea chanteys, sea monsters, sherlock holmes, sketching, smashing pumpkins, snakes, solitaire, space above and beyond, steampunk, t.s. eliot, tarot, the dark knight, the decemberists, the gothic archies, the joker, the moon, the ocean, thom yorke, thunderstorms, tidepools, traveling, v for vendetta, veganism, vegetarian cooking, vikings, villains, watchmen, writing, yaks<br /><br />Well then. *dusts off hands* <br /><br />I'm fairly new to BPAL. I found a link to the site on a friend's LJ about *checks watch* a month ago or so, and was captivated by the scent descriptions, the gothic themes, and the PICNIC IN ARKHAM LINE because I am an outrageous manic when it comes to Lovecraft. So I ordered some imps. Well. Well, well, well. Let's just say that from the opening of the first little vial, LJ sales posts have been violating my wallet in the crudest and cruelest ways possible. (FORTY-TWO IMPS SO FAR.) I'm an addict and I'm virtually broke, but I SMELL SO DAMNABLY GOOD. <br /><br />That is all.

    Depraved

    Apricot! It's a fruity perfume that actually works on me! Love love LOVE the apricot in this. The patchouli is rather strong though, so this is a scent that I'll probably wear occasionally, but not all the time. Definitely give it a try.

    Perversion

    This one went all candy cough-syrup with a bitter edge (leather? wood?) on me. Nope. Not for me.

    O

    This is the first time I've sniffed a perfume and been able to smell all the little scents that make it up! (or at least the major ones.) VERY clearly amber, honey, vanilla that combines in something that is sweet, but in a rich, buttery way, not a candy way. Oh my GOD I love this. It's an eyes-rolling-to-the-back-of-your-head scent. Not light at all, this is thick, heavy, and warm. Very golden. The honey is so amazing and I think I'm in love (lust?) with amber. Ordering a bottle of this. (Or two.)

    Dorian

    Inspired by and created for my beloved Tedwin: my eternal, beautiful, wicked Dorian Gray. Refined, elegant, and lovely, with a noble bearing and seemingly gentle air. This blend is an artful deception: a sweet gilded blossom lying over a twisted and corrupted core. A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea. Oh my GODS yes. :DDD This is exactly as the description says. Yum yum yum. Sweet tea, creamy vanilla, a teensy touch of floralness, and musky goodness. I could eat this stuff. (Not to say that it's foody.) PERFECT. And I'm not sure if the slinky, devious feeling I get when I wear it is from Beth's obviously magical awesomeness or the connotations with Dorian himself. Need. Bottle.

    Ulalume

    Flowers and water and sweet herbs! Oooooh so lovely. This is the closest I've come to being able to wear something floral/herbal! But then it turns to powder. WOE IS I.

    Dove's Heart

    Floral and sweet! It's very pretty, and soothing rather than crisp. Unfortunately my skin steps on flowers and grinds them into the pavement almost every time. Definitely give it a try! (Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't know individual flower scents yet.)

    Fae

    I'm finding out that the fruity scents rarely go over well on my skin. This is such an amazing fresh peach/herbal smell in the imp, but when it touches me it amps the peach straight into cough syruply sweet territory. *glares at skin in baleful fashion*

    Bewitched

    Definitely herbal berry tea. I was so prepared to love this! But the berry came out too sweet with my skin chemistry. (I was hoping for some tarter berries, but these are a little overripe to my taste.) It's something I can wear, but not spectacular on my skin.

    Omen

    Noooooooo. I had to go wash this one off. On me it's dirt that seems almost cloyingly sweet. I think it's the Juniper I don't like, but not having tried any other earthy scents I can't be certain. I wore it for half an hour in the hopes that it would morph into something better, but it stayed the same.

    Scarecrow

    Grassy, dry, sharp, and a little sour. I like this. Like many reviews have said, it feels golden, but also has a burned acrid quality that isn't entirely unpleasant. Certainly unusual. I'm not sure I'd wear it very often, but I might on occasion just so I can sniff myself and get lost in the imagery.

    Yggdrasil

    Herbal, woodsy, clean, and sweet. It's beautiful, but too sweet on me.
  12. teacrumb

    Antique Lace

    Oh this is so gorgeous!!! I had this bath and body works vanilla body spray a couple of years ago and this is almost a dead-ringer for that scent except it has so much more depth. It's smooth vanilla--but not overly sweet vanilla (more like vanilla bean? Not sure...) with the lightest of floral undertones. Anyone who is scared of the floral bit, DON'T BE. I have yet to find a floral that actually works on me, but this is so light and well-blended! Try it!!!

    Jack

    I'm kind of obsessed with pumpkin bread/pumkin pie etc, so I was really looking forward to trying this scent. But I don't really get much of the spice and the pumkin is sour and plasticky on my skin. Tragedy strikes!

    Mata Hari

    I wanted to like this! I love the smell of freshly ground coffee, but on me this was more like coffee that's gone bad. I think it could be the mahogany that doesn't work on me. I barely get anything floral or sweet or anything, just bitter, bitter, wood and coffee. Skin chemistry is evil sometimes!!!

    Dee

    Can a scent be fresh and musty at the same time? I love this! It's dust and wood and cold, stale air and incense. Okay I'm going to go raid a library at midnight now.
