Nymeria

My nose is feeling a little unrefined tonight, so it's hard to pick out particular notes, so all I'm getting is a "carnations surrounded by darkness" vibe. Which, y'know, I kinda dig. Good for wearing: When I am delighting in being actively melancholy.

This one hits on my skin exactly as described... fresh strawberries crushed up and pureed into bubbly champagne. A pinkish red fizz. A little too sweet for everyday, but I could see myself getting through the imp and craving a bottle. Good for wearing: on days when I feel like skipping down the street beaming optimism at all the passerbys.

A dry, dusty pink floral scent on me, with just a hint of musk and spice. A very traditional perfume scent on the surface with a hint of sexy intrigue once you're already too close. Good for wearing: when I feel like letting out my inner sexy librarian. Tell me again how good you are at alphabetizing...

Very tart, sharp red. My first job was working at a smoothie shop, and I made up he following smoothie: lemonade, orange juice, lime sherbet, pineapple sherbet, strawberries, raspberries, peaches. This scent reminds me exactly of the scent/taste of that smoothie. Mmmm mmmm. Delicious. Good for wearing: when it's time to crank Dawson's Creek and go full on high school reminiscing.

Sea, soap, and a hint of something that you would want to scrub at with soap. The color of the Pacific Ocean on a cold, overcast day. The longer it's on, the less I get the soap and the horrible thing the soap was washing off and the more I just get a sulky, bitter encounter with the sea. EDIT: The longer this scent is on me, the more I start to like it! I'm really happy, as I was hoping aquatics would work on me, but from the first sniff feared that my chemistry would say no. Good for wearing: When I feel like reminiscing about winters in California, wandering barefoot down abandoned beaches.

Cinnamon, with a touch of incense and a lighter touch of rose. A burnt orange/brown scent, very fall. Good for wearing: when I miss watching my mom bake her walnut pie for Thanksgiving.

Sweet, soft pink. Cotton candy blended with that classic hard bubble gum, the kind you really have to sink your teeth into to chew. Good for wearing: To attend a five year old's tea party.

I'm getting the full mix on this. Mostly plum and amaretto, but also with a hint of wine and blackberries. (Edit: just noticed the description said black currants, not blackberries. Well, I got black SOMETHING.) Smells like electric purple. Delicious. I'm in love. I could wear this every day. Good for wearing: All the time, just for me, whenever I need a scent induced smile.
