likes, reblogs, and replies are appreciated!

“What can you tell us about the Curse Syndicate?”

“Well, not much,” you admit sheepishly and can feel the wrongness of your answer reverberate in concerned murmurs through the room. You look at your partner in the front row for help, but he shakes his head with a poorly stifled laugh. “We-We’re working on gathering more information.” 

“What information do you have?” A reporter with sharp, intense eyes like a raptor’s pipes up from the third row, pushing her tiny notebook and tinier pencil into the air. “How are you planning on keeping the city safe when you can’t even identify the perpetrators?” The vigilantes are doing a better job than we are, if I’m being honest with you, is the reply you bite back; you can tell Suguru thinks it too by the way he smirks at your obvious hesitation. 

“The information that we have now is limited, but easily built upon. As we put more agents in the field to investigate, more information will be readily available to the general public.” A complete lie, but they didn’t need to know that. In times like these, you weren’t speaking to the press, but rather then citizens they represented, the ones who needed reassurance that their car insurance would cover the cost of a vigilante using their only mode of transportation as a projectile. The truth was that only you and Suguru were assigned to investigate, and any attempts to expand your team were shot down immediately because of budget cuts (and your boss’ need to take his entire extended family to the Bahamas every vacation). 

“Have you made any progress in tracking down the vigilantes?”

“The most I can share is information on the two most notorious vigilantes so far,” you offer, sensing the growing unrest in the small conference room. The various news channels’ microphones felt like missiles aimed at your face, ready to obliterate you if you so much as stuttered. “We’ve begun referring to them as ‘Honor’ and ‘Exorcist,’ as those are the names they leave on their…” You pause, gathering the correct word. “Marks.”

“Who’s to say they don’t begin counting everyday citizens as their marks? What will our city do then?”

“Our priority at this time is identifying the leaders of the syndicate and understanding their motives. Only then will we know if their intent is to harm law-abiding residents.” You catch Suguru nodding in the front row, a subtle sign of approval for answers he’d trained you in creating. Tell them nothing by saying everything, he coached. They won’t know the difference between a bunch of meaningless words and complete silence. 

“That is the end of our press conference, ladies and gentlemen,” Suguru interjects over the next frenzy of questions, confidently positioning himself in front of your podium. “Please make your way out of the back doors.” The reporters seem to only grow louder and more energized, like gas molecules trapped in a rapidly heating container. Soon, the pressure would burst, and you were definitely not in the mood to see its results. Ever the observant partner, Suguru gently takes your elbow and guides you through the back hallway, away from the bright flashes of the cameras and more microphones thrust into your personal space. “That could’ve been much worse,” he muses once the commotion has left your earshot. 

“It also could’ve been much better,” you point out with a groan, rolling your shoulders and stretching your neck from side to side. It was barely a twenty minute conference, yet your body ached as if you’d chased a crime boss for three hours. “We’re even now. 50/50, that’s what we agreed.”

“I’m aware of our deal,” he assures you. “I promise I’ll do the conference next time and you get to watch the carnage unfold.” His hip pushes open the back door toward the staff parking garage and you don’t miss the way his face briefly contorts into a wince. 

“You’ve been walking awkwardly since this morning.” He shrugs, though you do notice him attempt to mask his limp even more as you climb the stairs to the second floor. 

“Just ran into some stuff while I was cleaning up the apartment last night. Satoru pranked me and moved everything an inch to the left.” 

“Remind me again why he’s living with you? Or rather, why you’re burdened with him?” He chuckles and opens your car door for you, leaning over the top edge while you get situated in the front seat. His eyes scan the darkening garage for danger, though you know no one would dare try to attack you as long as Suguru was within a hundred feet. 

“He needs a place to stay while his lawyers get his inheritance sorted and all that. He could stay in the mansion, yeah, but he’d rather my dusty hardwood floors instead of the cold marble.” 

“How’d cleanup go the other day? Something about spilling wine on the rug next to the window, or something.” He blinks at you and you can’t tell if it’s from a lack of a response or the hesitance to give one. “You missed out on Trivia Night with me and the girls. We would have won since one of the categories was your favorite emo stuff.”

“Hey, I listen to more than just emo stuff,” he protests lightheartedly and he can feel his ears turn pinker when you laugh. “But yeah, Satoru came back from patrol and the rug turned red as soon as he entered the place.” Your eyebrows furrow.

“Patrol? Patrol of what?”

“Did I say patrol?” Suguru’s face is unreadable and it irks you. You barely kept secrets from each other after going through training and several life-or-death situations together.

Keyword: barely.

“Yeah, since when did Satoru leave the house other than to go find a hot girl to warm his bed?”

“True, I guess my mind is still in work mode,” he concedes, but some stiffness in his shoulders tells you he’s hiding something. 

“Maybe you just associate Satoru’s job with finding women to sleep with,” you suggest and he barks out a laugh, the tenseness in his shoulders dissipating. 

“What, like he has any other job?” 

“You’re too mean to him sometimes,” you tease fondly and he rolls his eyes. “I’m gonna head home and throw some pasta on the stove, a little treat for whatever the hell happened in there.” Your head nods in the vague direction of the office building and Suguru hums in agreement.

“Bring me some leftovers tomorrow?”

“If there’s any to bring,” you caution and he closes your door carefully, leaning even closer through the window as your roll it down. The world quiets for just under a minute, only you and your partner in the fading light.

“Get home safe, yeah?” 

“Of course,” you say softly, relishing in the little moments that make your heart feel like it was in a car chase through downtown. “You should ice that leg. Don’t want you crashing out on me when we’re investigating.” He shrugs again, that cryptic look washing over his face.

“Something tells me that tonight might not be any different.”

“What do you–”

“Say hi to Shoko for me, I’ll see you tomorrow!” He winks over his shoulder before heading in the direction of his motorcycle, leaving you with a fuzzy feeling in your chest and a swimming pool of confusion in your head. 

—

“Do you ever wonder if one of your patients is one of them?”

“What, a vigilante?” 

“Mhmm, like if someone comes in with a stab wound or whatever,” you explain and your roommate gives you a bored look as her legs swing off the top of the kitchen counter. You didn’t expect much of an answer from Shoko; she’d been a woman of few words–and many substances–ever since high school and up until now, when she found her current teaching hospital. 

“I’ll be more inclined to answer you if you get me the–” You don’t wait for her to finish before ducking under the cabinets to retrieve a half-finished bottle of white wine. She doesn’t bother with a glass and takes a swig straight from the bottle, much to your dismay. 

“Other people drink out of that, you know,” you cringe, taking the bottle and tossing a generous splash into the pasta sauce before reducing the heat to cook it off.

“Boo-hoo, I’m a doctor,” she replies carefreely after she’s stolen the bottle back. “I’m the one who makes sure you don’t die when you get food poisoning.”

“I also get food poisoning because of you, friend. Hence why I’m the one making dinner and you’re yapping next to my carrots,” you remind her and she waves you off. “Don’t think you’re getting out of the question. I’m genuinely curious.” She sighs melodramatically, but you’re unfazed. 

“Even if I did tell you if one of my patients was a vigilante, that’s malpractice,” she argues. 

“I’m not asking you to tell me, I’m asking if you wonder,” you counter. “Actually,” you interject before she can finally answer, “Hold that thought.” Your thumb presses the unmute button on the TV remote just in time for live coverage of a vigilante altercation occurring across the city. A stolen ambulance blows past traffic, narrowly avoiding police vehicles intending to trap it, while two vigilantes run perpendicular on building windows to close the distance. 

We’re live in the sky as the vigilantes known as “Exorcist” and “Honor,” commonly seen working together, are in pursuit of a group of arsonists that lit the lobby of the Gojo Corporation Tower on fire. The arsonists were seen planting explosive devices in the tower’s lobby before fleeing the scene, remotely detonating the devices as they ran and hijacking an off-duty ambulance. Luckily, no one has been reported injured, but the attack comes just after a press conference discussing the dangers of superpowered vigilantes and their–

“Have I ever told you how weird your fascination is with these people?” Shoko says, abruptly muting the volume again.

“It’s not a fascination, it’s my job.” You strain your arm for the remote, but she holds it just out of your reach as you’re stuck stirring the pasta in a pot of boiling water. “C’mon, I wanna hear what’s going on. It’ll be a shitshow tomorrow at work anyways.” An explosion on the screen catches both your attentions as the ambulance strikes a lamppost, bursting into flames as witnesses flee the scene. The blindfolded vigilante, Honor, fires off a single blue burst of light, absorbing the flames from the burning vehicle and allowing Exorcist to get inside and pull out the arsonists. By the time the smoke clears enough for the cameras on the helicopter to adjust, the two vigilantes have disappeared into the shadows. 

It’s oddly silent between you and Shoko, like you were both looking for something to say about what was just captured. Something turns in your stomach unexpectedly and you can’t shake the feeling of something being wrong. There was an odd sense of dread, like the moments just before you’re found in a game of hide and seek just waiting for the tension to break. 

You both jump when Shoko’s phone goes off. 

Hopping off the counter, she tucks her phone between her ear and shoulder and makes her way to her room, reappearing moments later and shrugging on her white coat. 

“Yeah, yeah. I saw the news. I’ll be there soon, so don’t wait for me.” Her exasperated sigh is louder than the hang-up tone and she drags a hand down her face. 

“Work?”

“Isn’t it always?” She gives you a wry smile before grabbing her keys and exiting the apartment, leaving you with a muted TV and too much pasta to eat by yourself. You dial Suguru’s number as a shot in the dark, not expecting him to pick up when you know he usually goes to the gym around dinnertime. He must’ve already been at the gym, since his voice is strained and breathless when he surprisingly picks up.

“What is it? Are you safe?”

“Hello to you too,” you laugh a little nervously, unnerved by his urgency. “Did that vigilante chase put you on edge?”

“Something like that. While I have you on the phone, I’ll just let you know that I’m probably gonna need to call out tomorrow.” The wooden spoon in your hand drops with a clatter. 

“What do you mean? Are you safe?”

“Yeah, I’m fine now. Just had some, uh,” you hear him fish around for an explanation. “Car problems on the way home.”

“You don’t drive a car, Suguru.”

“It wasn’t my car,” he says quickly and you decide to drop the matter, disappointed that he’d be absent on a day that was bound to be just as chaotic as the press conference. “Look, I’m sorry, but my body’s just–”

“Not having it, I understand,” you finish for him and he hums. “I was gonna ask if you wanted to come over for pasta since Shoko had to run to work, but since you sound busy…”

“Gimme twenty minutes and I’ll be there,” he interrupts, barking something you can’t hear to someone that must’ve been with him on his side of the phone. “She’s on her way, just handle it with her and I’ll–”

“Who are you talking to?” 

“Satoru, but he’s giving me attitude.” You can vaguely make out his roommate’s indignant I am not! from the other end and you let yourself smile a little bit. “Save me a plate, I’ll be there in a few. Just need to wash up since I’m coming from the, uh, gym.”

“No worries, I’ll see you soon. Ride safe.”

You don’t ask why, even though you didn’t burn any of the food, there’s a lingering smell of smoke when Suguru enters your apartment.

Molecule 01 + Iris by Escentric Molecules

I'm sorry. This review might be a little wordy, but I think being thorough is a good thing and it would be unfair to the perfumer and to the fragrance itself were I not to share my initial experiences with their creation.

I had purchased myself a large amount of a particular perfume as a divorce anniversary gift and with that perfume, the name of which I dare not say, I was given a small amulet of Molecule 01 + Iris by Escentric Molecules as a complimentary gift.

You can imagine my surprise upon opening the shipping crate to find not only the fragrance I had purchased at no small expense, but this one as well in its own dainty but handsome atomizer. I was delighted, but unfortunately, this delight quickly faded as I had, at just that very moment, received a telephone call during which I was alerted to the fact that my one and only vehicle had been towed by a county-contracted automotive towing company as it had been parked "illegally."

I won't bore you with all of the details, but I can say that I had not at all parked illegally. I had parked on top of a large bush (it really was more of a small tree at that point, but that is neither here nor there) and I had done so intentionally. This bush was fully on my property, property that I had purchased with gold I had found as a child, and it is my right to park on whatever bush I want so long as I own it and I am not putting anybody else in harm's way which is something I would never dream of doing.

The gentleman who had called me and informed me that my vehicle had been towed was curt and unwilling to listen to my pleas. He said that if I wanted to retrieve my one and only vehicle, I would have to meet him at the impound lot to discuss it with him in person. I asked him how he expected me to travel to said impound lot without my vehicle but he hung up on me before I could finish my question. I would say that I had never met such a rude person in my life, but alas, this isn't true. It seems that each day I meet a creature who is so full of rudeness and inconsideration and contemptment that I am left aghast and exhausted beyond the bounds of human sanity.

I set the telephone back onto the cradle and headed out onto my sprawling property to see what damage they might have done while towing my vehicle. I found that the large bush upon which I had parked was utterly destroyed. You might think that this upset me, but you would be a fool to think that. I wanted the bush to be destroyed. Why else would I have parked my vehicle directly on top of it? Did you ever think about that?

The bush was a stubborn eyesore and it was dangerous too. It was old-growth poison oak and I wanted it out. Luckily for me, the tow truck had made easy work of this. The bush had been beautifully uprooted. Unluckily for me, this meant that it was now my responsibility to dispose of the offending vegetal growth. I thought the simplest and most effective way to do this would be to burn it so I fetched my bucket of kerosene and doused the wretched thing completely. I lit a match and tossed it into the saturated mass and watched with joy as the evil bush was quickly consumed in cleansing fire.

What I didn't consider was that while watching the blaze, I was inhaling life-threateningly high levels of poison smoke. Within minutes, my eyes, mouth, nostrils, and all of my other tender, wet orifices were stinging and swelling shut at an alarming rate. I was just able to make it inside and dial the local hospital before I lost consciousness.

I still haven't been able to smell Molecule 01 + Iris by Escentric Molecules and the doctors say that it will likely be quite some time before my nasal cavities are back in operating order, but until then, I am more than happy to admire the attractive bottle in which this undoubtedly fragrant elixir is housed.

[fragranticareviewers]

ok ok ok im not done with you. i feel bad that i did some for individual characters with the orange ones but not for the blue + purple ones.

there's a TON more blue & purple magical girls than there are orange ones, but to pick a few that i think would be interesting to do scents for...

mew zakuro from tokyo mew mew - did zoologist ever do a wolf fragrance?

....

they didn't? fuck me i guess.

shewolf by smell bent - i am so heartbroken that smell bent closed down before i could sample. i am certain that this would be perfect. sigh. also the image is crazy.

cure moonlight from heartcatch precure - obviously i had to do the perfume season of precure. we have a canon scent association with white lily! let's goooo!

un lys by serge lutens - this is the most lily-scented lily perfume, maybe. i don't like florals a lot so i wouldn't know.

ghost flower by altra - here are lilies if they were more tortured. tortured with fire, that is.

cure macaron from kirakira precure a la mode - ahhh, i would love it if i could find something with macarons, green tea, and roses, but i feel like that's just a hard ask and i also have no idea if those things would go together. i don't want a flat macaron scent, i want something with a little more depth to it...!

garden party by skylar - desserts and florals! yummy!

things we never shared by toskovat - ok fine i said i wanted something with more depth. fine. FINE. you get the poison one. are you happy now?

homura akemi from puella magi madoka magica - i enjoy the opportunity to get into more weirdo fragrances here.

rendez-vous! by sonia sieff - boozy gunpowder iris.

stairway to heaven by jul et mad paris - what if they made aldehydes emotionally unavailable? or i guess, more emotionally unavailable? i dunno, they've always had kind of a weird, cold vibe to me.

vanilla mieux from sugar sugar rune - obviously vanilla fragrances. but maybe a more shy, introverted vanilla. more of a marshmallow powdery vanilla perhaps...

vanilla skin by phlur - vanilla without being overly sweet and gourmand.

un bois vanille by serge lutens - another vanilla that's not too sweet. it has some resins and whatnot to balance it out.

mew mint from tokyo mew mew - gee bill how come your mom lets you put TWO tokyo mew mew characters on your post

molecule 01 + black tea by escentric molecules - ok normally i'm like "what's the point" with escentric molecules but this one is good. it's crazy on the iso e if you hate it though.

ethereal wave by liis - nice citrus-y tea smell. i'm not enough of a tea drinker to discern what kind of tea it smells like though.

sayaka miki from madoka magica - gee bill how come

womanity by mugler - i had to take not a single second of time to think this, nor will i accept any other answers. in fact, i'm only including sayaka because the womanity answer was something i felt very strongly in my core values as a person. womanity by mugler.

now I need fragrances for the "cool" magical girls. You know, usually the purples, but also some blues depending on the series. (also shoutout to cure sky, peak design with that undercut)

hmmmm... let me think....

in my head, a lot of the "cool" magical girls are cold and emotionally detached to add to their Mysteriousness. your homuras, your sailor saturns, your cure moonlights, etc.

insolence eau glacée by guerlain - powdery violet & iris. it has a bit of a cold vibe to me IMO (i dont know if the name is successfully trolling me with this).

noa by cacharel - i posted the cons list for this one, which included "introverted girl at a party feel" and "melancholic effect on some." a choice for if you have a bit of a tortured backstory, but you can't tell anyone about it until a properly emotional moment happens, so you spend most of the runtime hanging out in the background with your arms crossed and saying mysterious one-liners. and you smell like flowers

rose des neiges by les parfums de rosine - snow rose is right. roses if they were cool

swan princess by the vagabond prince - i'd love to try this one someday. it sounds delightful! powder, florals, white musk.

Escentric Molecules Molecule + Geza Schoen Interview

A case of even newer clothes for the emperor? — My interview with Geza Schoen on the launch of the new Molecule + collection.

Some people really struggle to understand the concept behind Escentric Molecules. So I guess they’re going to find the brand’s latest development, Molecule +, even more bewildering. Simply put, perfumer Geza Schoen has released three new scents, each of which pairs one ‘natural’ with the original Molecule 01, Iso E Super. So we now have Molecule 01 + Mandarin, Molecule 01 + Iris and Molecule 01 +…

New week …new fragrance - Molecule 01 + Iris Escentric Molecules. The Molecule fragrances are quite unique. The base is Molecule 01 consists of the molecule Iso E Super pure and singular. Iso E Super is a molecule that lays close on the skin. It alone creates a unique fragrance trail. The Molecule 01 +Iris is the latest addition. I have always loved the molecule line. ! It’s iso- E at the base but opens with a beautiful Iris root. It’s powdery, slightly soapy, earthy and just adds a touch of class to the traditional molecule 01 fragrance. To my nose, it means I can actually smell something when I spray it and my skin has a scent that I can pick up on (unlike when I wear just molecule 01 on its own!) This fragrance smells creamy, slightly tea-like, comforting and is an easy wear in nearly any circumstance. #moleculefragrances #sotd #mondaysmellgood #upyoursmellgoodgame #mysmellgoodgameisfabulous #gusmayerfragrances #newweeknewfragrance #blackwomenloveperfume #fragrancereviewer

Sale e Pepe by Hilde Soliani

I am very sorry about this, but this review may seem a bit long-winded. I hope that the thorough, comprehensive details I provide regarding my initial experience with this odorous liquid will be illuminating and helpful for all who choose to read it. I truly believe that everything I have included in this missive is essential and descriptive.

Eight days ago I experienced a significant stroke of luck and found myself in possession of a brand new automobile. This automobile was not and never will be mine. It was loaned to me by a gentleman whose name I will not include in these paragraphs for I do not deem it appropriate. I will simply say that he loaned me his vehicle for a period of no longer than three hours and for this, I am thankful.

As I mentioned, the car was, and still is, brand new. I had never been in such a vehicle. It was exciting and exhilarating. It was so terrifically clean inside. I was actually afraid to soil the carpets so I took off my shoes upon entering. I rested them in my lap as I drove. I felt a bit foolish about this, but I thought it was better to be safe than to be sorry.

I won’t get into the details about why I borrowed this vehicle. I already gave a brief overview of my car troubles in my review for Molecule 01 + Iris by Escentric Molecules. I will just say that I am currently without my own vehicle due to a significant misunderstanding between myself and the local municipality.

The person who allowed me to borrow his brand new vehicle is a seemingly well-to-do elderly gentleman who I sometimes shave for a modest fee. Mind you, shaving this man isn’t my main source of income, but every little bit helps these days so I report to his quarters thrice weekly to give him a thorough, full-body shave. He likes to be smooth from the top of his head to the tips of his toes and I spend a good two hours each session ensuring that he is utterly hair free.

After our last shaving session, I explained to him the difficulty I am currently experiencing with my vehicle, and without even needing to grovel and beg for the use of one of his many automobiles, he offered to lend me the use of one that very day. I was delighted. I thanked him profusely. I finished shaving his body as quickly as I could without risking any chance of slicing him open and I then set off to his garage to find the foretold car.

I found it where he promised it would be. The onsite mechanic gave me a cursory explanation about how the digital displays worked and soon I was on the road, enjoying the feeling of being sublimely mobile once again. As the vehicle was on loan to me for a period of three hours, I decided to take the circuitous route to my destination. I drove along the river and looked at the slow moving water. I breathed the fresh, vernal aromas that wafted in and out of the car’s open windows. I enjoyed the sunshine and clear sky. It was a beautiful day for driving, if I do say so myself.

It was at this time that I felt something under my unshod left foot. While stopped at a stop sign, I examined the floorboard and found that my foot had been resting on a small glass container. I leaned down and retrieved the cool glass cylinder. I examined the label on it and found it to be a nearly-full bottle of Sale e Pepe by Hilde Soliani. Although I was, at that time, unfamiliar with this unique, fragrant tincture, I was immediately enthralled. In fact, I’m afraid I may have been a bit too enthralled.

I hadn’t realized how long I had been stopped at the stop sign while I examined this bottle of fragrant serum and as a result, a good deal of vehicles were at a standstill behind me. Strangely, none of the motorists honked, or, if they did, I was too enchanted by my new discovery to notice.

Just as I removed the cap and was about to douse myself in this undoubtedly potent elixir, a musclebound arm reached through the open driver’s side window, grabbed the back of my head, and smashed it directly into the steering wheel, shattering my nose and leaving me utterly stupefied.

I eventually managed to open the vehicle door and crawl out onto the macadam, where, to my dismay, I saw the many shards of the bottle of Sale e Pepe by Hilde Soliani spread out in a dazzling array on the filthy ground. I must have dropped it onto my lap and it must have fallen to the ground as I exited the vehicle. It is a loss that I will not soon forget. That is for certain.

Iso E Super is an abstract synthetic molecule characterised as a cedarwood note with a warm, velvety cocooning sensation.

Iris is a natural extracted from the root of several varieties of iris.

Geza Schoen: "It's not easy to describe iris' smell as such, but if you smell a fragrance without it, and then with it, you understand immediately what it does. It adds a creamy powderiness. It brings a physical dimension to a fragrance.

I have had a long-standing love affair with iris. Every Escentric fragrance has an iris note somewhere in there. To me, iris is luxury. The iris pallida absolue I've used here is one of the most expensive ingredients in perfumery. You can find iris extracts for way less than that. But they do not have the great and subtle beauty of this absolue. It's radical to put this much in a fragrance. The sillage is fantastic. This is a bomb, but a subtle bomb."

Key notes: Iso E Super, Iris

Time to Smell the Roses with These 7 Spring Scents

Smell great all season long with these 7 spring scents.

Spring scents that every person needs to add to their collection start here.

Spring has sprung in the fragrance world. Every department store you walk through or every fashion magazine you read is full of the latest spring perfumes and colognes. But before buying one, you need to understand a little bit more about spring scents — that’s why we found 7 that just make scents! (See what we did there?)

Get your nose to work with our list.

Bergamot

Have you ever heard about the prince of citrus? If not, then you need to check out bergamot scents. Bergamot is a sunny and pleasant citrus scent that gives off an aroma that’s refreshing, rounded, sweet, and deep. This scent is similar to lime with floral, herbal, and resinous undertones. Bergamot is in many popular fragrances like the Acqua de Parma Bergamotto di Calabria.

Lemon

Spring is all about citrus notes, so you cannot skip lemon scents. Lemon scents are known for their clean, fresh, and sparkling notes. To create lemon fragrances and colognes, manufacturers extract the essential oil by cold-pressing lemon peels. If you want a light and fresh lemon scent, check out Estee Lauder Limone de Silicia.

Iris

If you love violet scents, then you’re going to love iris scents, as well. The scent itself gives off a dry, spicy, and woody note. However, it can vary from plant to plant. Check out ALT Iris Femme if you’re interested in this scent!

Rose

The rose scent can give off different notes depending on the color of the rose. Red and pink roses give off traditional rose notes. White and yellow roses can smell like violets, nasturtium, and lemons. Vibrant yellow and orange roses can smell like a variety of fruits, nasturtium, violets, and cloves. A great starter rose perfume is the Estee Lauder Evening Rose.

Jasmine

Looking for a scent that’s perfect for a date night? Look no further than jasmine. Jasmine scents give off a rich and sweet floral note. This scent is considered a sensual, intoxicating, and exotic smell. Fun fact — due to its carnal features, jasmine is seen as an aphrodisiac in some cultures. If you want a perfume with this scent, take a look at Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge.

Mandarin

As you guessed, mandarin gives off citrus and orange notes. Mandarin scents also have bitter, green notes. While you may think that it’s mandarin juice, it’s actually the peel of the mandarin. A great spring mandarin perfume to try out is the Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 + Mandarin.

Sandalwood

Spring is not just for floral and citrus notes. Scents with woody tones are also in, like sandalwood. Many popular perfumes and colognes use sandalwood as the base note. The scent itself is a deep, woody scent that smells like a mix of floral, rich, balsamic, soft, and sweet notes. For scents-piration, check out TRUEFITT & HILL Sandalwood Cologne.

Which one of these seven spring scents do you want to add to your collection? Don’t end your spring makeover with just a new perfume or cologne.

The Iris Nebula in a Field of Dust What blue flower grows in this field of dark interstellar dust? The Iris Nebula. The striking blue color of the Iris Nebula is created by light from the bright star SAO 19158 reflecting off of a dense patch of normally dark dust. Not only is the star itself mostly blue, but blue light from the star is preferentially reflected by the dust -- the same affect that makes Earth's sky blue. The brown tint of the pervasive dust comes partly from photoluminescence -- dust converting ultraviolet radiation to red light. Cataloged as NGC 7023, the Iris Nebula is studied frequently because of the unusual prevalence there of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), complex molecules that are also released on Earth during the incomplete combustion of wood fires. The bright blue portion of the Iris Nebula spans about six light years. The Iris Nebula, pictured here, lies about 1300 light years distant and can be found with a small telescope toward the constellation of Cepheus. August 01, 2018 via Space https://ift.tt/2OwUoM8

I feel like in Reverse!Batfam/Sidekick aus featuring birdflash/dickwally/wonderwall (whatever you guys call their shipname) we always get a scene of the batfam going “If you hurt our sunshine brother we will end your fucking life” and that is both mandatory and valid but like,, what about the Flashfam? They never get a shovel talk. So here’s my headcanon for how that goes down: the Flashfam is a chipper bunch and I don’t think they’d do it, like, directly. That’s not their style. They’re not the menacing/threatening type. So I think that every once in a while they just... drop a little reminder of how easily they could wreck Dick’s shit.

Like they’re at a family bbq and it’s like

Bart: ...and then I grabbed him, ran around the city a few times, and used that force to smash him through a brick wall! He was fine, had invulnerability or something, but he was out for a while.

Dick: Wow that’s crazy—

Bart, making direct fucking eye contact: If he wasn’t invulnerable he’d have been a pancake though. Like a red smear. I think I’d only do that if someone like... hurt my family. Like if they hurt Wally! But no one would ever do that! Right?

Dick, sweating bullets: haha yeah absolutely

Dick ends up helping Barry with something and it’s just

Barry: So as you know, speedsters can vibrate their molecules through most if not any surface. Once it was even used to remove a woman’s heart. I think that’s such a terrible thing to do. Even in a metaphorical sense. Like, if my nephew got his heart broken I’d like, punch the culprit with the force of five times running around the block to back me up. It would probably put the culprit in a coma.

Dick: Well that seems a bit off topic

And every single fucking member of the flash fam does this even Iris starts talking about how she could ruin the reputation of anyone if she wanted to because she’s a big time reporter and Dick is Suffering. He keeps trying to get Wally to stop bringing him over to Central City because he knows he’s going to be passively aggressively threatened the entire time but he can’t tell Wally that so he gets roped into it anyway. Wally knows, he’s just waiting until Dick cracks. He’s honestly surprised that Dick’s gone this long without saying anything.
