    Scent for Halloween?

    I wore Parlement of Foules for the morning, and then because Saturday was the day I handed in my senior paper, I wore scholarly Dee to the celebration.

    Scent for Halloween?

    I'm going to wear my green-label 13 tomorrow, and then probably either Parlement of Foules or Snake Charmer on the 14th. I'm turning in a big essay on that day, so I may wear something aquatic (paper's on Moby Dick).

    I wore Snow White the day of the first snowfall of the season.

    Scent for Halloween?

    Well, one of my friends likes BPAL and let me try her imp of Priala (a test which lead to me purchasing a whole bottle of Priala). Other than that, my friends are pretty geeky and into old things / mythology, so as long as I made clear the whole bird + fire thing, they'd figure out the phoenix theme. I like the steampunk idea. One of my friends recently got me to watch Steamboy, which finally clued me into the steampunk thing some of my friends have been talking about for a while now. Lots of fun. 'Course, I don't have any of the steampunk scents yet, but there is plenty of time to Halloween.

    I'm so tempted to pick a beloved BPAL and base a costume around the concept. Currently, top choice is Priala and some sort of phoenix theme.
  6. Just wanted to point out that Graveyard Dirt is available once more.

    Scent for Halloween?

    I'll be flying out for vacation on the 4th, so I'll probably be wearing Obatala in anticipation of coconut palms.

    Thirteen (13): June 2008

    Oh, this is beautiful. I'm not yet good at identifying notes, so do forgive, but I'll give it my best (my first review!). My first sniff in the bottle was almost pure chocolate, but I can pick out the apple now. It's most certainly a blossom, not food; despite loving the smell of apple, I can't stand smelling of apples, so I was worried about this. It's fine. The blossom and other scents round out the chocolate and keep it from being foody. It's strongly chocolate on me, but I don't feel like a bakery. I think I'm getting the spices, but more as a general "spice" to accent the chocolate. I get more apple blossom in the bottle than on the skin. Drydown's a nice cocoa. I was initially worried that it would be too much like El Dia De Reyes, but that's supremely foody and this isn't. They've got a similar feel to the chocolate, but they're very different scents. ETA: Wet, this gives me a blast of strong chocolate throw. Once it's dry, it wears a little closer to the skin, and late drydown has more spice with less chocolate.

    I didn't actually plan this. I wrapped my Dad's Father's Day gift after applying some Obatala to the backs of my hands. The gift was a tropical shirt, for him to wear on the family's upcoming vacation. He opened the package and said, "Coconuts? I smell coconuts." Appropriate, even if it was unplanned.

    Scent for Halloween?

    I dressed as a Gypsy, and wore Kali. Lovely, lovely.

    Scent for Halloween?

    Reviving this for Halloween 06. I'm going to be a gypsy, but I, alas, have no Scherezade or Morocco, or really anything in that category. My imp of Snake Oil decapitated itself, so I haven't even that. I'm thinking one of the following: Bathsheba, Blood Rose, Dragon's Blood, Himerus, or maybe Kali. I'm leaning toward Blood Rose or Dragon's Blood.
