🖋���Thoughts on the day🖋️

Spooky season is upon us!! And it’s starting to get cooler out!! I just love October so much. The football game was kind of a boring watch, tbh - but we won so who cares lol. I’m very proud of myself for keeping up with my new habit of trying to read everyday and I feel very motivated. I think I’m going to try to start doing small workouts tomorrow (honestly very scary for me but we’re going to try)! Today was a pretty good and productive day for myself.

Haikyuu Boys as Bath and Body Works Candles

a/n: hii again✨this idea came to me at like 2 am and no one asked for it but enjoy what i think the Haikyuu boys would be if they were candles. (this is specifically Karasuno but i might do other schools) enjoy xx

Hinata: Aromatherapy Energy- Orange Ginger

-let’s get the obvious one out of the way

-yes there is literally a candle called orange ginger

-we all know Hinata is a human tangerine so of course his candle form would be just as orange as he is

-also it’s aromatherapy energy and that lil fireball is none stop all the time

Kageyama: Pumpkin Snickerdoodle

- i don’t know why i just have always thought that Tobio’s favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle

- he would curl up with a plate of cookies and a glass of warm milk and watch movies

- Kageyama as a candle would definitely have to be just as baby as he is, even if he would never admit it

Tsukishima: Strawberry Pound Cake

- no explanation needed

- you are what you eat and we all know this man lives on strawberry cake

- candle Tsukki is also a strawberry cake no exceptions

Yamaguchi: Paris Cafe

- Yams is a hopeless romantic and definitely daydreams of Paris (with Tsukki of course)

- this candle is a mix of coffee, vanilla, and brioche and personally that screams Yams to me

- you never get tired of Tadashi just like you would never get tired of this smell

Tanaka: Marshmallow Fireside

- Tanaka has two sides to him

- big upperclassman and CEO of simp nation

- he is a happy mix of burnt fire wood to match his macho side and fluffy marshmallow to go with his romantic side

- i mean, who wouldn’t want to roast marshmallows with Tanaka

Nishanoya: Aromatherapy Relax-Black Chamomile

- Noya is such a ball of energy that he definitely has to drink sleepy time tea to help him wind down for the night

- this candle has the best of both worlds with a soothing smell and high intensity essential oils

- candle Noya would have to calm down real Noya

Ennoshita: Warm Vanilla Sugar

- Ennoshita deserves the world, there I said it

- you can’t go wrong with liking Ennoshita just like you can never go wrong with the candle choice of warm vanilla sugar

- warm vanilla sugar is reliable, everyone loves it, it’s just an all around good candle

- just like Ennoshita

Kazuhito: Aromatherapy Comfort- Vanilla Patchouli

- we don’t give this man enough love

- Kaz as a candle would be comforting and sweet

- (I just know this man gives great hugs)

- the second you light this candle all your worries go *poof*

Hisashi: White Apple Oakwood

- one word: crisp

- this candle smells of birch wood and sweet apples

- Hisashi definitely only wears flannels in the fall and this candle screams that kind of energy

Asahi: Midnight Blue Citrus

- this candle may seem dark and mysterious at first glance but it’s as wholesome as they come

- just like Asahi

- this sweet candle smells of mango, fresh spring water, and all things citrus

- Asahi would definitely be a sucker for fresh scents and would always have a candle burnng in his room

- (sxcept when he leaves because he is responsible and will blow the candle out)

Sugawara: Champagne Toast

- (one of my personal favorite candles)

- candle Suga is just as cute and bubbly as he is

- the aroma of bubbly champagne and tangerine can brighten up any room just like Suga

- i just love this candle and i just love Suga so it’s perfect

Daichi: Mahogany Teakwood High Intensity

- we all know that Daichi wears Old Spice

- and probably way too much

- so he has to be a a just as powerful candle to match

- the mahogany teakwood just screams manly man

- and it’s high intensity because Daichi will always want that scent to last ALL day

top five candle scents :P i know you have them

I SURE DO! I just dug through my candle cupboard to assemble a lineup.

1. Yankee Candle’s Mountain Lodge (Unfortunately I am not linking to it because it’s not currently on Yankee Candle’s website! I hope it’s not discontinued but I did just buy two more.): there’s a tumblr post about this smelling like your new sexy lumberjack boyfriend or something, so I bought it on a whim. My housemate at the time saw me burning it once and yelled, DID YOU REALLY BUY THE TUMBLR CANDLE??? but I am unashamed to report this has now been my #1 favorite candle scent for several years now. Everyone who smells it is stunned by how good it is. It’s earthy and spicy and amazing and it smells exactly like a hot man but without the bullshit that dating a hot man often entails. 10000/10

2. Project 62 - Pisces Scented Candle with the scent of tangerine, ginger, blue aloe, blonde woods, and amber: I bought this candle from Target online without smelling it, purely because it’s pretty and I wanted to use the container for something once I finished it. It turns out the scent is AMAZING!!! It’s also a bit earthy with some fruit flavors. Sadly it doesn’t have much throw, but it’s great for when I take a bath. I’m almost done with it now and trying to figure out if I can justify having TWO random Pisces containers around my house if I buy a second one. (Also, Target has ones for all the astrological signs and it looks like they all have different scents! I wonder if they’re as good as mine is.) 15/10 amazing

3. Glade - Tree Lighting Wonder: yeah, I know, why am I including a $3 glade candle on this list? Because this candle smells so good that I bought one three years ago and I have NEVER lit it, purely just so I can sniff it instead. Pre-covid, I kept it in my office and would just pull it out of my drawer and take in a long drag on stressful days. It’s like sticking your face in a pine tree without the potential for getting your eye poked out. 10/10 would highly recommend

4. Paddywax Candles - Grand Canyon National Parks with the scent of cactus flower & fern: this candle is expensive, but amazing!! It has a wooden wick and it smells so sweet and airy. It’s a perfect spring scent. Love this candle. I burn it very slowly because it is expensive but sometimes I take it out of my cupboard and just sniff it similar to the Glade candle because I just love it so much. (I might have a candle problem.) 9/10 because it doesn’t burn evenly and that annoys me.

5. Bath & Body Works - Winter with the scent of “white woods”, pine needles, sparkling clementine, and spiced clove: this is such a spicy, strong candle scent that’s perfect for the winter months! It’s a bit too strong for my room at my parents’ house, which is smaller, but it’s amazing in my basement studio because it really fills the space. It also tends to linger for awhile after lighting, which is great. I love this scent. Perfect AND seasonal! 8/10 because it’s a bit too strong for my room at home

I made Fullmetal Alchemist-inspired bath bombs!

Remember how I said that I have a secret side project in the works for this year? Here’s the big reveal: it’s a Fullmetal Alchemist story focusing on a pair of minor characters who only appeared in a light novel (The Land of Sand) and the 2003 version of the series. This guy in particular...

The Unholy Man of the North will be 2003 anime canon-compliant (rather than Brotherhood-compliant) and takes place 1 year after the original series ended. Russell Tringham (a young alchemist who has stolen Ed’s identity before) falls back on old habits, convinces someone he’s Edward Elric...and ends up getting kidnapped by foreigners. Before long, he’s dragged into a political conspiracy to rid the Drachman tsar of his family’s spiritual advisor: a priest the tsar’s brother-in-law believes may be performing some old, occult variant of what Amestris calls alchemy.

While I won’t be releasing this story to anyone other than beta readers until the first draft is complete (I’m about 50,000 words in), I can share a related creative endeavor with you.

Russell and his brother Fletcher created an artificial Philosopher’s Stone (a “Red Stone”) that, while powerful, didn’t quite measure up to the real thing. That had me thinking: what if I made a luxury blend...then intentionally tried to dupe it with ingredients I often use as substitutes? Here’s how it turned out!

Details are listed below, including the recipe if you want to try making “Cruelty-Free Philosopher’s Stones/Red Stones” at home!

Philosopher’s Stone Bath Bomb

Essential Oils:

Frankincense Carteri (2g)

Elemi (1g)

Finger Root (1g)

Clove (1g)

Mandarin (1g)

Cedarwood (Texan) (1g)

Colorants:

Red 40 Blooming Dye (Activated)

Red 23 Blooming Dye (Activated)

Red Oxide

Red Mica (for sparkle)

Look at this pretty color! The pink tint comes from the Red 23--but don’t overdo it! Add too much pink colorant and you’ll be pink too! This is what the mixture looked like before I added baking soda and citric acid.

Red Stone Bath Bomb

Essential Oils:

Frankincense Serrata (2g)

Myrrh (1g)

Ginger CO2 Supercritical (1g)

Cardamom (1g)

Blood Orange (1g)

Cedarwood (Himalayan) (1g)

Colorants:

Red 40 Blooming Dye (Activated)

Red Oxide

Red Mica (for sparkle)

Additional Additives:

Bath-grade pop-rocks (5g)

The first thing to note about the Red Stone blend is that it doesn’t have the splash of pink that the Philosopher’s Stone blend does. This is because I excluded the Red 23 blooming dye and traded it for more Red Oxide. This is what the mix looked like prior to adding the baking soda and citric acid. In person, it kind of looked like half-congealed blood...

The bath water was gorgeous, though! After the froth and foam died down, the color was the exact same shade as the Red Water in the anime! The scents played nicely together and I found myself dozing off in the water.

However, I’m not sure if it was the oils in this bomb or something else--but my sleep suffered after using the leftovers. I woke up from a very vivid nightmare at 2 AM and had to pee (Myrrh can stimulate your kidneys in higher doses, so my sleeping in the bath probably didn’t do me any favors).

Once I returned to bed, it was near impossible to turn my brain off again. It was going into overdrive with ideas and only let me rest again after I wrote everything down. A small silver lining to the nightmare: it did give me some pretty good ideas for the story I’m writing...so at least there’s that?

Now for a bit of good news, the Red Stone didn’t stain me or my tub! Once it went down the drain, the only thing that lingered was the smell. And even that disappeared by 2 AM.

Procedure

Mix wet ingredients (essential oils and carrier oil. For these blends, I used coconut and have some notes regarding that in the “Tips & Safety Warnings” section)

Mix all dry ingredients (300g Sodium Bicarbonate, 15g Cream of Tartar, 5g Kaolin Clay, 5g Rassoul Clay, 10g SLSA, 3g Titanium Dioxide) except Citric Acid (150g)

Mix dry ingredient blend with wet ingredients until color and texture is consistent.

Add Citric Acid and mix evenly.

Pour into molds and allow to cure for 1-2 days

Tips & Safety Warnings

1. NEVER handle essential oils with your bare hands! These chemicals are VERY potent and your body can absorb them through your skin. You should always wear gloves when handling these sorts of projects.

2. Coconut Oil solidifies at room temperature! This means that you’ll need to heat it up when you’re mixing your wet ingredients. If you’re making multiple batches at the same time, it’s also possible your coconut oil will resolidify. I made a poor man’s double boiler in my lab out of a bowl of hot water and just let the containers where I’d mixed my wet ingredients float on top of the water. It kept them in a liquid state until I was ready for them. Of course, you could always substitute for another (easier) carrier like Rosehip or Argan Oil--but I wanted to include this in case you’re using Coconut.

Take a look at the oils I’ve mixed in this photo. See how it’s getting cloudy? That’s the coconut oil resolidfying:

3. Too much Red 23 may stain you and your bathtub! I haven’t had any problems with Red Oxide or Red 40, but Red 23 (which is what gives the Philosopher’s Stone its pinkish hue) and I have a love/hate relationship. It’s a beautiful colorant and a little goes a long way, but it can stain you like nothing else if you overdo it!

4. If you are using mica colorant in your bath bomb, be sure to include a little Polysorbate 80 to your wet ingredients too! Mica can make your bombs sparkle and glitter, but it will stick to EVERYTHING if you don’t add Polysorbate 80!

5. If you plan to make these for yourself or as gifts, please look up contraindications and potential side effects of overexposure to these oils first. Some oils are not safe for children, people with certain medical conditions, or people taking certain medications. Some people may also be allergic to certain ingredients and the scent of myrrh makes some people nauseous (three guesses why it went in the Red Stone blend). Just be cautious and conscientious!

End Result

Here are the two blends side by side. There’s only one Philosopher’s Stone in the image, but it’s rather obvious which one it is thanks to the Red 23.

I’m mildly creeped out by how similar the scent profiles are to the two blends. Sometimes I’ll substitute one of these oils for another when I’m running low in a popular blend, but this was my first time literally using ALL substitutes to make a dupe. Here are my notes:

The first thing you smell in both stones is a rich, luxurious, resin-like scent. This is because both synergies contain Frankincense (which is a resin oil) and a secondary resin oil (Elemi in the Philosopher’s Stone and Myrrh in the Red Stone).

Although both stones contain a citrus oil; you only smell traces of it in the Red Stone and it’s almost nonexistent in the Philosopher’s Stone. There’s two reasons this may have happened. My Blood Orange essential oil is fresher than my Mandarin oil, so it may be more potent. Also, Blood Orange just has a stronger scent profile in general. Mandarin’s an oil I often substitute for Sweet Orange or Tangerine since it plays nicely with a lot of stuff and doesn’t try to steal the show. Blood Orange does.

The Philosopher’s Stone has a peppery bite to it that the Red Stone does not. I suspect the culprit is the Finger Root, which is a “sister smell” to the Ginger I used for the Red Stone blend. Finger Root is a lesser-known oil that I sometimes interchange with Ginger or Turmeric in my synergies. It’s got a slightly earthier smell than Ginger (which is mildly sweet on top of its spice), and packs a bit more heat. It’s also possible that the eugenol content of the Clove Bud oil I used was super high, but the company I got it from didn’t provide a chemical breakdown of the batch. I have no way of knowing.

The Red Stone gives off a weird “burning” smell that the Philosopher’s Stone does not. My guess is it’s the difference between the two Cedarwood oils. Texan Cedarwood (which I used in the Philosopher’s Stone) has a dry firewood smell to it when paired with Sage, but is much milder than Himalayan Cedarwood (which smells a bit more like the “cedar” most people are familiar with). Also, the Red Stone’s secondary resin oil is Myrrh: which can amplify warm smells like Turmeric, Black Pepper, or Cinnamon when mixed in a blend. I think the Myrrh and Himalayan Cedarwood mixed together to cause that effect.

The scent profile is about an 85% match, but that 15% difference puts it almost in an aromatherapeutic uncanny valley: like it’s “not quite right” but close enough to fool someone if they sniffed these two blind and didn’t know they were different blends.

I highly recommend trying both scents out if you aren’t allergic to any of the ingredients. It’s a fun activity, and one I’m hoping to do a live demo for at a convention in the future!

Amazing Health Benefits of Orange Peel For Everyone

Health benefits of orange peel for everyone, why, and how to use. Most often, when we eat an orange, we all throw the peel from it. However, this is a big mistake because we can do some useful things with it. In today's article, we will find out why we should not throw away the orange peel and how to make the best use of it. Oranges are one of the most popular fruits with a specific taste and nice smell. We all use oranges all the time, but there are many people who have not heard that the peel is eaten, and it is probably the healthiest part of the whole fruit. Citrus fruit peels are rich in flavonoids such as hesperidin and poly methoxy flavones  (PMFs) and other phytochemicals. Why are flavonoids important? Flavonoids are antioxidant compounds found in certain fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. By consuming them through food, we get benefits for our health. They are known for their role in helping to prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Composition of orange peel

As for the composition, 3.5 grams of orange peel contains 136 mg of vitamin C, and the whole orange contains 71 mg of vitamin C. Orange peel also contains significant amounts of calcium, copper, magnesium, and vitamin A. Let's not forget the presence of folate and other B vitamins and dietary fiber. It's time to get acquainted with all the possible benefits of orange peel for our health, as well as for use in your home and the like.

Orange peel is good for heart health

The bark is rich in hesperidin, a flavonoid that has been shown to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol. Orange peel also has anti-inflammatory properties. Overweight men who consume hesperidin in oranges have been shown to significantly reduce diastolic blood pressure (BPD). In fact, orange peel can sometimes be a more effective remedy than the recipes we use.

They help with some cancers

The flavonoids in orange peel have the potential to inhibit the RLIP76 protein, which has been linked to cancer and obesity. Research on this benefit is still in its early stages, but if orange peel extract can inhibit or reduce the expression of RLIP76, it would have significant implications for chronic disease. The flavonoids in orange have anticancer properties. FMP inhibits carcinogenesis by mechanisms such as blockade of the metastatic cascade, inhibition of cancer cell mobility in circulatory systems, proapoptosis, and antiangiogenesis. A significant amount of evidence has confirmed that citrus peel flavonoids show a remarkable range of effective biological activities, especially in antitumorigenesis.

 Anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties

Orange peel compounds can prevent the release of histamine (histamines are chemicals that cause allergic reactions), making them potentially anti-allergic compounds. Orange peel can also help cleanse and purify your lungs. While high levels of vitamin C are beneficial to your immune system, it can help you fight various respiratory illnesses such as colds and flu.

Additional health benefits of orange peel

Improving digestion and accelerated metabolism Improving oral health natural air freshener or rub the inside of your teeth to help whiten and sensitivity Improving the appearance of the skin combination with milk will help you lighten dark spots on your skin or be used as a skin toner; Healthy weight loss Low calorie and high-quality fiber, which makes them useful food if you are trying to lose weight. Other peels, fruit or vegetable peels that can be as healthy as orange peel Celery Peel - Contains five times more magnesium and calcium than edible stalks; Broccoli stalk provides 90% more vitamin A than the flower. Onions - The outer layers of onions (including the skin) are considered the most nutritious, including the concentration of the highest amounts of flavonoids. Another example is watermelon and the inside of the watermelon. Watermelon peel contains more amino acid citrulline from the inside. Citrulline is converted to arginine in the kidneys, and this amino acid is important for heart health and maintaining the immune system. Watermelon seeds are edible and very healthy. They contain iron, zinc, protein, and fiber. How to eat orange peel If you use fruit peels, be sure to choose only organic fruits. Oranges, lemons, and limes are at the top of the list of foods that usually contain more than one pesticide residue. The fruit should be washed well (even if it is organic) before use. Then, one of the easiest ways to eat orange peel is to grate it. You can freely add grated orange peel to salads, dressings, yogurt, tea, fish, and vegetables.

Good afternoon, elegant natural beauties. Do u guys want to read a short, incoherent stream-of-consciousness review of Every Single Perfume I’ve Sampled since May 2016? of course you do! I put a star next to the ones that are good on me.  i originally wrote “next to the ones i recommend” but of course every perfume smells completely different on every person so Who Knows. i don’t wanna get blog sued for recommending you a fragrance that smells like a butt on you.

★ annick goutal ce soir ou jamais - rose! big, overblown, spicy rose. musky. amber. really good! a little too floral for me personally but it’s very like a flapper wearing a rose in her hair & i would recommend for somebody else

annick goutal grand amour - unremarkable, thin floral. also gone almost immediately?? what even was this. annick. get it together.

★ annick goutal nuit etoilee - ohhhh, yes. soothing, but not boring. something like -- blue-gray forests and -- mint tea? it's cool and delicate and sort of cozy. mint leaves and resin. herbal, graceful, understated: warm tea and a pine fire on a cold night. it’s too elegant to be homey. it’s like if your ex-wife of 20 years invited you over to dinner and everything in the house was lovely and the dogs were asleep and even the trees outside tapped their branches on the glass just as you remembered it, but over dinner you realized from the coolness of her glance and the graciousness of her manner toward you, you knew absolutely that she had moved on, and however kindly she treated you you would only ever be a guest in this house -- your ex-wife might wear this.

★ l'artisan mon numero 6 - sort of woodsy and masculine in a good way! sandalwood, hibiscus. a gamine in a bower.

annick goutal petite cherie edt - can something be both powdery and juicy? pear and soap? it's nice -- very girly and sort of demurely playful -- but even with a surprising musky note down in there, it doesn't make much of a statement. 

★ atelier cedrat envirat - a greener, woodsier Orange Sanguine. in spite of the name, the cedar is much more of a basenote, a strong vibration; more noteable are the citrus tones, especially as it dries. more lemon-lime than orange. delicious and fresh and invigorating. i can wear OS at any season, but this feels very summer-specific.

balenciaga b. - fresh at first but then….weird old bread?? what? what is happening. it’s still not bad but there’s something so floury/powdery about it. in spite of that bakery/kitchen association it’s not spicy – it’s green & dry. Fine, but not a keeper.

cb i hate perfume burning leaves edt - not so impressive on me anymore. it used to feel cozy and i'd get a hint of rich woods but now that sweetness is more like....bbq sauce. like, i just smell like i wandered into your house with grill smoke in my unwashed hair. this is fine and great when it happens organically, but a lil too meaty for my taste in perfume. not great projection either.

cb i hate perfume i am a dandelion - sharp & earthy greens – what florals there are are more crushed than blooming. i’d want to layer this with something but by itself it’s too much mica/dirt on me.

cb i hate perfume wild hunt - WET EARTH. foliage and moss. ozone. that low alcoholic thing that’s very cb-typical. round dirt. fades very fast.

clean rain - cheap but good. nothing remarkable though and it fades VERY quickly to regular bar soap. you could get the same effect for a fraction of the price with that $8 cucumber melon body splash from bath & body works.

★ comme des garcons blue santal - oh HELLO good MORNING! clean, tomboyish, scented wood and juniper. a ski lodge smell -- outdoorsy, but more moneyed than natural. the perfume equivalent of super-expensive ”reclaimed wood” scandinavian furniture.

d'orsay intoxication - bluh. the two words that come to mind are “honey” and “widowhood,” tbh, which makes this sound better than it is. it's just a sort of indeterminate, dated chypre floral, with an old-lady's-bathroom musk. which is better than old-man's-bathroom musk, obviously, but i'm not into this.

★ demeter honeysuckle edt - as pure and natural on me as annick goutal’s way more expensive chevrefeuille. projection & lasting aren’t as good but SUCH a fresh, sweet, uncloying honeysuckle.

derek lam 10 crosby drunk on youth edp - your cute friend’s hair after a shower. fancy girl shampoo. then it blossoms out and gets deeper & sweeter--pure honeysuckle, but still soapy, hence the shampoo. lovely, but too $$$ for basically a nice bathroom-steam smell.

dkny be desired edp - starts w/ sweet grapefruit & violet – then that shampoo-y smell – then the shampoo gets synthetic. it’s not BAD exactly, just mad artificial with a sharper and sharper plastic line through it. although ooo, as it dies down it gets REALLY nice. not worth that early stuff but very sweet and sporty.

dolce & gabbana intense - strong & sweet. intoxicating but also marshmallowy? tuberose. kind of like a lollipop. yes. booze lollipop. i dig it but it’s too sweet to be a standby for me. although the boozy vanilla about 15 mins in is SUPER delicious.

elizabeth & james nirvana black - i’ve heard this suggested as a dupe for Black Orchid but nirvana is WAY sweeter on me. more licorice, less tobacco and the vanilla comes across much less organically. some scents kind of fold your own smell into themselves and enhance it? that’s the goal for me & this w/ my particular chemistry is like the opposite. very “mask”-y.

★ giorgio armani si edp - YUM. lychee with some sharper fizz behind. black pepper? then incense/spiced wood? super sophisticated & sexy. reviews say “vanilla” – i’m not getting that at all.

gucci flora glorious mandarin edt - a burst of tangerine, then low slightly spicy flowers. good, but not great.

★ guerlain idylle - oo. oooooo. delicious. this is described as a “floral” but i’m getting something richer – something of that amber vanilla musk that i used to get with Black Orchid. i guess i smell the rose under that. as it dries it gets sweeter but not in a bad way – fruit-sweet, like a wet raspberry.

★ imaginary authors cobra and the canary - tobacco, smoke, leather. very distinctive and really kind of nice. i think you could pair this with something femmey for a really interesting layered smell but WHO HAS THE TIME!!

★ issey miyake a scent - spring. sharp cut green flower stems. wet but guarded. crisp. lemon tree & hyacinth in the very back. like it a lot. as it wears down it becomes deeper and more floral – a wet garden. (had this on same arm w/ d&g intense & they’re like the opposite of each other. a palate refresher!)

★ juliette has a gun mmm - sooooo good! like….creamy white flowers and orange rind and cinnamon? as usual with white flowers it’s a little sweeter than the woman i picture myself to be, but true to its name it is DELICIOUS.

laura mercier nuits enchantees - VANILLA EXTRACT! so delicious but unfortunately then this weird powdery almost nutty?? note appears. almond? or wait: marzipan. ough, that must be the patchouli. yeah, no thanks.

le labo vanille 44 - so good at first! rich warm vanilla-extract vanilla. spicy. wintry. something a little like rubber or plastic – or playdoh?? – deep under it, which is the only drawback -- except that then as it dries it fades to just that rubber plastic thing. :/ this was a disappointing relationship.

miller harris la pluie - weirdly old & incongruous on me – like one of those perfume sampler packs i played dress up with as a kid. not bad, but seems to have nothing to do with my skin.

oscar de la renta something blue - PURPLE MARKER SMELL? remember those smelly markers and the purple one was really good? this is like a fancier version of that. then it goes to more complex flowers.

★ pinrose treehouse royal - this is SO FAMILIAR, why?? what is it? vitabath??? green, delicious, ginger underneath. cassis and vetiver. very clean. i’ve never tried pinrose before and i really like it!

★ pinrose campfire rebel - oh wow. oh WOW. green smoke. everything i stopped getting from burning leaves – none of that charcoal meatiness. just clean autumn air and good whiskey. i gotta get more pinrose!

★ prada luna rossa - POWERFUL dude musk. spicy herbal, amber-y. Very very masc. Feels like Jean Dujardin inviting you behind the boat house for a cigarette.

ralph lauren polo black a wealthy, slightly effete dude sauntering out of the locker room. tropical fruit and sandalwood. very clubby, but also VERY delicious – at first. unfortunately it fades FAST to Eau de Douche. like, not the vaginal hygeine product, just a douchey guy in a club. ugh.

ralph lauren romance - very femme perfume-y – the opposite of luna rossa. Flowers first – rose & lily? Feels like the dullest body splash you could get from Victoria’s Secret. Inoffensive, boring flowers.

stella mccartney sheer - fruity! a less strong l'imperatrice. juicy. sweet and soapy.

★★★ tom ford noir pour femme - ohhhh shiiiiiit yes. ohhhhh you’ve done it again thomas. musk and vanilla. warm smoke. cardamom. this perfume is a cardamum blessing. i feel so sophisticated yet sexy yet also somehow cozy and warm?? a femme fatale in an oversized sweater. oh god, it just gets better and warmer and sexier every minute. WHEN WILL I BE RICH?? @daeontherun bought me a tube of this for XMAS because she’s a SAINT and we all put it on and spent the rest of the evening deeply inhaling our own wrists. can’t recommend highly enough.
