OKAY. POKEMON CHARACTER PERFUME HCS ARE A GO
starting w submas! ingo and emmet wouldnt wear any cologne to work because it could irritate ppl w scent sensitivities but in their personal life i think they'd really like the replica fragrance line! ingo would 100% wear coffee break, a nice relaxing scent that isn't too strong on the coffee note and is overall very pleasant and not too overpowering!
emmet would like either when the rain stops or whispers in the library! both him and ingo would probably also share fragrances sometimes i feel like theyd have a similar taste (though him and ingo do have a bottle of layton by parfums de marly they got as a gift but they like never use it bc it was so expensive and they're a little afraid of it)
(it was elesa who gave it to them lol)
elesa is That Girl. shes a supermodel AND a gym leader, she is luxury! she'd probably wear baccarat rouge on date nights w skyla, but her go to would be meliora from parfums de marly! she is a fancy fancy girl
skyla doesn't wear much for perfume because she's a pilot, but when she does it's usually something fresh and unisex. probably would wear lazy sunday morning from replica, but on date nights she'd wear wood sage and sea salt by jo malone
hilda would probably wear something that was lower priced (bc shes like a young teen at most) but good. getting pacifica dream moon vibes
hilbert is a teen boy he probably wears axe spray. sorry not sorry.
bianca gives me rich kid vibes but she'd probably wear something like light blue from dolce and gabbana
cheren is a nerd, so he'd wear really niche colognes. probably commodity book bc yknow. nerd
n doesn't wear perfume he smells like a pokemon or something
clay smells like what a cowboy would smell like i think but also he'd like anything w a peppery note. probably something from avon?
drayden would either wear emporio armani lui OR royal oud from creed
iris would use warm vanilla sugar from bath and body works before becoming the champion and upgrading to vanilla bourbon from mix:bar
cilan smells straight up like sage and basil (because he has sage and basil stuffed in his pockets)

The Signs as Perfumes
♈Aries: March 21-April 20
Perfume: Bapteme du Feu (Serge Lutens)
Key Notes: smoke, gunpowder, castoreum, ginger, candied orange
Scent/Color Association: red-orange
Rationale: Aries is a Fire Mars sign, so bold animalics, smoky bonfire smells, and spicy ginger make sense. Aries also has a childlike, impulsive quality, which I associate with sweet, bright fruit.
♉Taurus: April 21-May 21
Perfume: Lyric Woman (Amouage)
Key Notes: ylang-ylang, vanilla, rose
Scent/Color Association: golden yellow
Rationale: Taurus is an Earth Venus sign, and associated with love of luxury and fine food. That immediately suggests a rich, creamy floral like ylang-ylang -- both heavy (Earth) and sweet (Venus), and well suited to combination with gourmand smells like vanilla, and impressions of milkiness (cows = Taurus.) Rose is, of course, traditionally classed as “under Venus”, going back to Greek texts linking Aphrodite with roses.
♊Gemini: May 22-June 21
Perfume: Diorella (Christian Dior)
Key Notes: Green leaves, jasmine, peach, bergamot, oakmoss
Scent/Color Association: pale blue-green
Rationale: Gemini is an Air Mercury sign. Diorella is “airy” (from citrus, green notes, and the light, helional-based aspect of jasmine) and its crisp, almost unsweetened greenness evokes Mercury’s associations of speed, wit, and androgyny, while the “garbagey” overripe-fruit note gives Diorella a roguish “trickster” vibe. Gemini is also associated with hybrids and liminal boundaries, and Diorella is a complex, fast-changing hybrid scent, a green/floral/fruity chypre that goes through a dozen personalities in a day.
♋Cancer: June 22-July 22
Perfume: L’Eau D’Issey (Issey Miyake)
Key Notes: lotus, rain, melon
Scent/Color Association: white
Rationale: Cancer is a Moon Water sign, associated with plants like lotus and melon. L’Eau d’Issey is an aquatic floral with a very lunar, luminous impression. It’s also a “conservative” perfume these days, unlikely to offend, which fits with the traditional Cancer traits of cautiousness and caring.
♌Leo: July 23-August 22
Perfume: Youth Dew (Estee Lauder)
Key Notes: Frankincense, cinnamon, clove
Scent/Color Association: bright brown
Rationale: Leo is a Fire Sun sign, and frankincense and cinnamon are traditionally associated with the sun and fire. Also, Leo the lion is associated with courage, and Youth Dew is a scent I associate with courage and will and strength. It is very warming and potent.
♍Virgo: August 23-September 23
Perfume: Vetiver (Guerlain)
Key Notes: vetiver, bergamot, woods
Scent/Color Association: loden green
Rationale: Virgo is an Earth Mercury sign, and its associated Tarot card is the Hermit. That adds up to the “forest-floor” scent of vetiver; a hermit-like, serious, intelligent, almost ascetic scent with earthy depths. Guerlain’s classic vetiver is lighter than most and more unisex (rather than purely masculine.)
♎Libra: September 24-October 23
Perfume: Vent Vert (Balmain)
Key Notes: galbanum, lily of the valley, rose
Scent/Color Association: bright grass-green
Rationale; Libra is an Air Venus sign, which adds up to a green floral. Light and fresh and intelligent (air) and also feminine (Venus). Galbanum and rose are also Libra-associated scents. Vent Vert is extremely sharp with its overdose of green-fresh galbanum, which suggests the “incisive” quality of Libra’s scales of justice; it’s also very fresh, floral, and delicate, like Libra’s “diplomatic” or “graceful” qualities.
♏Scorpio: October 24-November 22
Perfume: Noir de Noir (Tom Ford)
Key Notes: rose, black truffle, saffron, oud
Scent/Color Association: black/gold
Rationale: Scorpio is associated with water and Pluto and the tarot card Death, with darkness and secrecy and sexuality. That points towards a “dark”, “sensual” fragrance, like Noir de Noir, which is a boozy, nightclubby, opulent scent in a modern style.
♐Sagittarius: November 23-December 21
Perfume: Dawn (Frederic Malle)
Key Notes: oud, frankincense, labdanum
Scent/Color Association: tan
Rationale: Sagittarius is a Fire Jupiter sign, associated with exploration, and its constellation was named after the centaur archer Chiron. Dawn smells powerfully animalic and horsey, with almost Mongolian associations -- nomads, wide skies, open steppes, wild nights. Animalic scents, like smoky and spicy ones, belong with Fire, because they’re warm, bold, and physical.
♑Capricorn: December 22-January 20
Perfume: Bandit (Robert Piguet)
Key Notes: leather, oakmoss, wormwood
Scent/Color Association: black/green
Rationale: Capricorn is an Earth Saturn sign; it’s associated with practicality, seriousness, ambition, rigidity, and “low” physical/financial desires. Its Tarot card is The Devil, which is likewise associated with “base” earthly cravings. Bandit, as a bitter leather chypre, has exactly this saturnine quality; it’s sober (=dark, bitter green, no sweetness) and also rich and satisfying in a deeply physical, animal way.
♒Aquarius: January 21-February 19
Perfume: Angeliques Sous La Pluie (Frederic Malle)
Key Notes: angelica, juniper
Scent/Color Association: silvery gray
Rationale; Aquarius is an Air Jupiter sign, associated with the intellect, the future, abstract ideals, the Star tarot card, etc, as well as bitter-anisic plants like wormwood. That calls for a cool, silvery, modernist, bitter-fresh-anisic scent, exactly like Angeliques Sous La Pluie, which smells like a gin-and-tonic plus the anisic freshness of angelica.
♓Pisces: February 20-March 20
Perfume: Apres L’Ondee (Guerlain)
Key Notes: heliotrope, violet, iris, anise, mimosa
Scent/Color Association: pale purple
Rationale: Pisces is a Water Neptune sign, associated with dreams, sensitivity to emotions, and compassion. To me, violets and anise feel “watery” or “watercolor-like”, and heliotrope is a plant associated with Pisces whose gently powdery scent always makes me think of late winter-early spring. Apres L’Ondee is dreamy, delicate, sensitive, very “purple”, very appropriately Piscean.

Nocturne Alchemy Halloween 2019 - Part One
Originally published 10/8/2019
Hey y'all, and happy Halloween month! October is, bar none, my favorite time of the year, even though it's a little ridiculously hot here in Florida. It took me forever to decide what I wanted, but I finally picked up some treats from Nocturne Alchemy's Halloween 2019 release, and I want to share my thoughts on those, and maybe cover briefly what I have that appears in the Resurgence section, as well. So let's dive right in, shall we?
What did I wind up choosing? A pretty good selection, having tested everything, I don't think there's a single one that isn't going to work! I picked out Pirate's Rum for Jody, but I haven't tested it on him yet, so we'll skip that for now. The rest of what I got was Blood, Blood Queen, Blackout, Vampire Bourbon Patchouli Bat, and The Mummy Returns - as it turns out, I have an aged bottle of that, so I'm probably going to swap my new bottle. They sent me Mummy's Spirit as a prize from a contest I won on the business page on Facebook, and the free sample was the brand new PC scent, Halloween 2020. That's a pretty exciting set!
Blood – Kashmir (Studio Limited), Pipe Tobacco accord, Caramel Oudh (NA Studio), Black Patchouli leaves, Palo Santo essential oil, Italian Bergamot, Italian Pine resin, Frankincense Resin, Myrrh wood and Bastet’s Musk. Oh, this is intense. It's almost a little scary, and these are notes that are right in my wheelhouse. That was my first thought when I put this on my skin - but then it warms and melds, and ooooof - it's captivating. Apply this lightly - a little goes a very long way. Right away, I get the palo santo, and then it sort of melts into this caramel oudh and tobacco. I love NA's tobacco, and I don't have much of it, so I really, really wanted this one. I'm getting almost a leather feel at first, but that stage doesn't last very long. If I sniff really hard, I can pick out the pine, Kashmir (a deep red musk), patchouli, and resins while it's still wet. Once it starts drying though, as I mentioned before, it really all melds together. It's got a slightly unisex feel, and I really want to try this one on my fiance, I think it would be amazing on a man. But he is going to have to share it, if he likes it - I love this entirely too much to give it up. Oh my gosh, it's so dark and sexy, I can't stop huffing my wrists. This is an inky fall night, the moon up high and bright in the sky. There's a chill in the air, but a huff of smoke from someone's pipe - and there's a bonfire in the distance. You're wrapped up nice and warm though. And holy bats do you smell amazing. It lasts quite a while, too. I got a solid 10+ hours out of it. I kept catching whiffs of it that had me trying to figure out what it was before I remembered what I was wearing. Yeah, love this one.
Blackout – NA Chypre accord (labdanum, oakmoss, lavender, patchouli and neroli), Jasmine Absolute, NA Oudh, Bastet Amber Absolute, Mandarin, Clove and Amber accord. Blackout is a stunner of a chypre. This is darkly gothic, and it feels almost....dangerous. Hah! I love it. Chypres are an interesting group for me, most of the time I love them, but sometimes there's a floral that can turn up a little weird on my skin? That's definitely not happening here. If you took a look at the notes and were worried about the jasmine, mandarin, or clove - I spent a full two days with Blackout, and I'm just not able to truly pick them out. When I first put it on, while wet, there's a slight hint of a spicy floral, but it just melts into something deeper and darker so quickly, I can't get a handle on what the florals would be. This is just so smooth and sophisticated. If Blackout was a True Blood character, it would be Eric. Hah! I'm not sure if I could pick out my favorite between this, Blood, and Blood Queen, as I love them all - they're wildly different - but I think if I were pressured, it would be Blackout. The oakmoss is perfection here, I find it to be the most noticeable note in the chypre accord. Since that's a particular favorite of mine from NA, I'm happy to see it star here. This is so starkly beautiful. There's almost a coldness here, but it's drawing me in - it's very appealing. I think that Blood and Blood Queen are very warm scents, but Blackout is just .... chilly.
Blood Queen – Wild Black Currant, Cemetery Musk, Santalum White (Studio Limited), Kashmir (Studio Limited), Black Musk, Blood Wine accord, Black Violet and Lilac essence. Blood Queen is just so purple and wild! I had a hard time choosing what I was going to order to go along with Blackout and Vampire Bourbon Patchouli Bat. I finally settled on Blood, but I kinda was looking hard at Skeletonic, as I adore woody scents - I might have to go back for it, but the notes for Blood Queen just kept pulling me in. This is definitely a me scent, and so I plopped it in my cart and didn't look back. I think I expected the Kashmir, which is a deep, sexy, rich red musk, to kind of be the star here. And it's here, don't get me wrong. Kashmir and Black Musk are not musks that will ever be described as shy, but though I get both of them, they're playing so well with the other notes - like a dance. It's mesmerizing. On my skin, the wine and Cemetery Musk play supporting roles. There's a sweetness and fullness that they add to Blood Queen. Primarily, though, this perfume is a fruity floral musk - and a stunner. This is a come hither, slinky, sultry, masterpiece. Not shy, even a little bit. The blackcurrant is juicy and sweet - it's a good counter for the dark florals of violet and lilac. I usually avoid florals, but I really like how they play darkly with the musks and fruit. If Blackout is Eric, I'm calling Blood Queen Pam. *wink* It lasts forever on my skin, too. A solid 8 to 10 hours!
Mummy’s Spirit – Green Matcha Tea, Violet, Egyptian Blue Chamomile Essential Oil, Egyptian Papyrus essential oil, Egyptian Musk and Egyptian Red Musk and NA Limestone Amber. This was the bottle that I won in a contest NA had on their business page, and they picked out for me. I actually was kind of drooling over the description of it already, because I do love that papyrus note, and their green teas. Naturally, I love this one. It's bright and fresh and crisp, and the green tea is gorgeous here. It's been so, so hot here in Florida - we're missing fall by a long shot. This is a great transitional scent - I can definitely see wearing it as it gets colder, but I wore it a few days in a row when it was over 90 degrees and it was lovely then, also. This is a lighter scent - it needed a couple of applications throughout the day, but I suspect the more it ages, it will get a little more longevity, because I've noticed that's a pattern with scents that start out lighter from NA. Just worth mentioning it as something to be aware of, in terms of a review. For me, I don't mind reapplying - I usually take scent with me wherever I go. But I'll be looking forward to see how this one is going to play out with age, as I already love it. It's quite different from the others that I chose myself, but it's definitely something I'll be reaching for often. I don't get a lot of the violet, so it must be a background note. The chamomile lends a light herbal tone, adding to the overall "green" feel of Mummy's Spirit. I don't get a lot of the violet, but I think on my skin it adds a softly sweet contrast against the green, herbal feel of the tea and chamomile.
Vampire Bourbon Patchouli Bat – Golden and Black Patchouli essential oils slow-drip blended into our Bourbon Vanille Absolute, Sugared Vanilla pods with hints of Oak and Hinoki wood. This one was my first choice - I knew absolutely I was going to get it. And it was an instant win, right out of the mailbox. This is warm and cozy, but at the same time, dead sexy and darkly slinky. The slightly boozy vanilla against the patchouli is perfectly balanced - and I am totally getting the oak and hinoki wood, so that's really awesome, I was hoping I'd be able to smell that in the mix! I feel like the woods really help keep that balance here, because the Bourbon Vanille is quite a rich note, along with the sugared vanilla. The long drydown on this is an almost spicy, plush, slightly narcotic vanilla, balanced with a dark, resinous, herbal patchouli. This isn't your hippie grandma's patchouli scent, by a long shot. This is elegant and polished. It would be a great date night scent - but at the same time, it's cozy and inviting, and I'd wear this to go stomping in the fall leaves in a sweater and jean jacket. I'd also wear it to dinner with my guy. If you were even thinking about Vampire Bourbon Patchouli Bat, do yourself a favor - go pick it up. Yesterday. Word in the fan run Facebook group, the House of NA Tent, is super positive - I think it's the fan favorite of NAlloween 2019.
You know what? I've been thinking about it. I think Blood would be Alcide. *wink*
Edit: At the risk of repeating myself, I'm going to throw a blanket statement out for all of these - I cannot wait to see what they're going to be like with some aging. I accidentally bought a bottle of The Mummy Returns, and I already had one from last year. The fresh bottle is truly a gorgeous scent, but that aged bottle? Wow. So just bear that in mind, my impressions are from bottles I've only had about a week. It's going to be fun to revisit them next Halloween!
Okay, that's going to wrap it up for today. I'm going to go ahead and do a second half, and cover Halloween 2020 (YESSSS) and the Resurgence that I have, including my beautifully aged bottle of The Mummy Returns. The Resurgence reviews are posted here, if you would like to take a look! Thanks for joining me, y'all!

Nocturne Alchemy Vaults: Part One
Originally published on 4/30/2019
I'm on a mission, after completing my month of samples! I've got a good collection of what I call Vaults - perfumes from the early days of Nocturne Alchemy, long before I started collecting. And I tend to hoard these, rather than wearing them. I don't think I have enough for a solid month, but I'm going to try to do a few weeks of these, spread out over the course of a month, and do a bi-weekly update. Maybe it will force me to wear these beauties as intended!
I have a mixture of both LC (limited collection) and PC (permanent collection), but it's mostly LC in these, so I want to go ahead and warn you now, these are probably hard to get, but it can't hurt to put out an ISO (in search of) in the NA Marketplace Facebook group. They age wonderfully, so it might be worth the hunt!
Let's get this shindig started!
Eternal Egypt Summer Crystalline REZ: White Amber Absolute, Limestone Amber Resin, Lime Zest, Saffron, Gold Santalum, Moonstone (African White Vanilla Bean), with the new addition of Crystalline (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid stigma Resin) Absolute aged with Kyphi (a honey, raisin, & wine based incense), Guaiacwood eo, Mandarin Skin, Egyptian Sugar and French Golden Amber Resin. This baby is a favorite of mine, I have several backups of this with varying fill levels that I've nabbed over time from the Marketplace, and from Laura. It came out in 2015, the first year I started collecting NA. It's SO, SO GOOD. Like, my ultimate summer scent, honestly - besides the Tea collection! I will continue to keep an eagle eye out for more. A girl can never have too many, right? Right!! Hah. Okay, so if you've ever experienced Eternal Egypt, this is an enhanced version, with a zip of citrus (the lime is fabulous, seriously) and the beauty of Crystalline vanilla - honestly, it's just the right amount, it doesn't take over the other notes. It's so aged, I don't get really the kyphi, which I love, or the saffron. But that's okay. It seems simple, but there's definitely some complexity. I have raved and raved about this one, maybe one day they'll make a version something like it in the future! PS. If you haven't tried Eternal Egypt, what in the world are you waiting for? Remedy that as quickly as possible! *wink* Seriously, it's a fan favorite, and it's a lovely scent.
SP 8: Sandalwood, Teak, Rosewood, Cedar, Black Amber, Black Musk, Black Myrrh and Black Patchouli in a sea of memory. This is from 2013. This is a beautifully dark scent, the woods and resins are just, at this point, incredibly potent. I don't need a lot. I love to pair this with a vanilla, like Crystal, or Protoceratops, to keep it from going too dark on me. I think this one is pretty unisex, and I think it would be fantastic on a guy too. The sweetness of the myrrh, amber, and cedar is perfect against the heavier patchouli and black musk. I don't know a lot about this collection, but somewhere in my dusty memory I remember that SP stands for Steam Punk, and this was a pretty limited collection, so I treasure having both this and SKL, below.
SP SKL: Damp woods, Aged Velvet Crystal Vanilla (Vanilla Musk), the scent of old linen in a coffin, a touch of graveyard musk and a sentient of mystery. Like SP 8, this is also from 2013. Gorgeous. I have a bottle of Crystal, from the SL section, and I love it. First thing I catch is that vanilla musk, but it's aged and deepened. Paired with the woods, this is so gothic. I particularly love to wear this one in the fall and winter, it feels very cozy and like a warm, dark hug. There's like a dark sexiness lurking under the snuggly vanilla.
Cleopatra Moon: Fresh Peach Incense, Peach Essence, Egyptian Frankincense Resinoid, Egyptian Myrrh Lite Resinoid, Sapphire Amber-Musk, Persian Sandalwood, White Peppercorn Essential Oil and a drop of Egyptian Hibiscus and a breath of Egyptian Hyacinth Petal. This treasure is from 2011, the Pharaoh Moons collection, from what I can see. I got this one from my friend Melissa, and oh, how hard did I fall for this? She's gorgeous. It starts out with their luscious, juicy peach, just bursting out of the bottle and onto your skin. That's followed closely by a melange of resins, so well blended I can barely pick them out, but I think that the Sapphire keeps this bright and helps the peach linger. I don't really get the hibiscus or hyacinth, on my skin - they may be background notes, or as aged as this is, impossible to discern. I do get a little kick of pepper, which is always a welcome smell for me. It adds the slightest spiciness, but it's not obtrusive. Cleopatra Moon curls around me for quite a long time, I get at least eight hours from it. It's enchanting and mysterious, what I imagine her namesake to be.
Selket Anti-Venom Rez: In the new composition I took the old recipe and changed it toward more of an ode to Crème de Menthe bringing up the mint essential oil note and adding nuances of Crystal, Blue Sugar and a little Incense in the shadows before the scorpion Goddess stings with her tail. The Crème de Menthe composed with marshmallow and peppermint eo. This one came out the same year as Eternal Egypt Summer Crystalline REZ, 2015. If I remember correctly, it came out in the summer - and while I absolutely adore my Victorian Candy Cane Crystalline, this is the mint I reach for when I want something cool feeling in the summer. It's like a creamy, mint drink, on a long screened in verandah. There's a crust of sugar in here, as well - I love their sugar notes. But this definitely feels green, it's different than the Christmas VCCC. There's a slight hint of liqueur. Absolutely adore this, and I should wear it more often, but I'm guilty of hoarding it. I will note that in long drydown - this lasts a while! - the mint fades a little bit, and you're left with a sweet, creamy, sort of musky marshmallow, with just a hint of the mint. Just as beautiful as the beginning stages, though.
Bastet's Witching Hour: Black Incense, Black Vanilla, Black Haitian Voodoo Vetiver, Black Aged Cedar, Black Cherry Extract, Black Aged Saffron and Black Amber rests at the death of this hour. I usually store all my Vaults in the same box, but - in order to confuse myself, hah! - I store my NAlloween Vaults in with the NAlloween box. So I'd actually realized when I was pulling out my Sleep Elixir that I had more Vaults than I realized! Anyway. this beauty is from 2011. I have two bottles of it, this was my first experience with NA's cherry and I fell hard for it. This isn't a candy or cough drop cherry by any means - this is a sexy, alluring fruit and dark resin perfume. The incense curls around you, and entwines with the slightly tart cherry. The vetiver is smoky, and the cedar is sweet and woody, they sure do woods right. I feel dark and witchy when I wear this, and I crave it all year. But of course, my favorite time of year to pull it out is fall, and I reach for it often. Incredible.
Hathor's Peach Kaproret Tea: Sensual Peach, Coconut powder, African Kaproret Tea, Fresh morning Apple (subtle), Tibetan Black Tea Leaves and Egyptian Plum. Here's another early one, from 2009. I've got about a quarter of a bottle left, it's one of the beautiful green 5mls. This one is a lovely summery scent, a little bit of tropical feel with the fruit/tea blend. I'm not sure what kaproret tea is like (EDIT: I've since learned it's a black tea type from Kenya!), but I definitely get the black tea, but there's another tea-scent in there that I've never had myself before, and it's almost got a zing to it, and it works really well with the lush peach and coconut notes. Thankfully I don't need a lot of this, because it's so aged, because I love it, and I'm hoarding it. I do have Peach Cardamom Tea from the Summer Tea Service, but that's quite a bit different than this. If you love tea and fruit, and happen to come across this one, I would not hesitate to get it! As with my other Teas from NA, there's never a bitter edge to the black tea, it's smooth and distinctive, and balances so well with the fruits. I've also worn this with a few of the Tea Service, Coconut Milk, Sugarcube, and Rice Milk, and they all pair well with it.
Y'all, I got pretty behind on this - life got really busy! I meant to have it up a week ago, but there's all kinds of stuff going on here in our little corner of the world. I'll try to get on the second half of this with a little more expediency! I hope you enjoyed this first half, though. There are some pretty amazing treasures to be had in hunting these down.
