btw guys do you think that if lydia were to tug on the strings of allisons crossbow she would hear echoes of her just like the strings in stiles' room during s3? do you think she would hear warnings of allison's death long overdue? or would she hear remorseful sorrows wailing her name the same way lydia did?

My aunt is very sensitive to strong scents (buys my deodorant so that we know it won't harm her, because other than a couple brands, they give her migraines, we don't have scented candles, and I have a couple of perfumes, but I never wear them), so we're super careful there, but we also can't go into some stores because the perfume counter is Right There. When we go shopping, she knows to look for me in the candle aisle because I'll stand there sniffing each candle and giving a review to whoever is with me at the time

I love perfume soooo perfume headcanons for Hannibal characters (dealer’s choice for which ones)

YES OMG… okay I’ve thought so so much about perfume wrt Bedelia, both because her canonical perfume bottle is such an iconic presence

Taking it in a Watsonian sense that she decants a commercially available scent into a bottle she likes more for whatever reason, she might like something from Profumum Roma, maybe Alba or Olibanum. Xerjoff Zefiro??? (also realizing I recced a Profumum Roma scent for Will, lmao... be that as it may)

I associate her with iris and with more low key gourmand notes, nutty or spiced notes, rather than perfumes meant to evoke a specific baked good or anything really sticky-sweet. Powdery, cool, and dry. I don’t think she’s got any insecurities about wanting to look or be perceived as particularly youthful (her dress sense and attitude seem like they’re going to stay just as they are for the foreseeable future, just as polished and manicured as they are now) so she’s more amenable to weird powdery scentscapes that would repulse some random 22-year-old Scentbird subscriber. The symbolism of her leaving her perfume bottle behind for Hannibal is really intimate but it also suggests to me she’s the kind of person who’s loyal to a single fragrance rather than cycling through multiple depending on her mood. My biggest Bedelia headcanon is that she does so much perfume shopping in Florence. She does a lot of strategic shopping in general as a way of raising a subtle red flag but I didn’t get these unrealistic childhood expectations wrt the Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella for nothing, tyvm.

s1/s2 Alana... I could see her having a similar taste in perfume to Clarice, something that's got less-direct nostalgic associations for her but that's congruent with a presentation of herself as professional and put-together and performing a particular kind of femininity; it's personal to her but it's also something in her toolbelt for moving through her professional setting as a woman. Very different actual perfume choice, than Clarice and her mom though, like a Jo Malone perfume lingering on her clothes. (English Pear & Freesia or Wild Bluebell?) In a more emphatic way she might also be a Tom Ford girlie (maybe White Suede?) but I think I just associate Tom Ford perfumes with the era s1/s2 were first airing. 

Beverly, ooo... they're all professional women but Beverly does more hands-on stuff so if she wears perfume it's a thing in her downtime, maybe her leather jacket carries a little ghost of scent with it. This is 100% pepperjacking on my part but I could see her as an indie scents/perfume collecting girlie. RIP Beverly Katz, you would have loved all the weird chemical scentscapes from Xyrena.

Margot is a tough one for me because I've still got a bug up my ass about how she's translated to the show -- book!Margot has a freshly-showered, cleanly sweaty thing going for her and if I was going to personal shop her a perfume I would get her something really summery and citrus-y and herbal, but show!Margot has a real Old Hollywood archfemme thing going for her. I feel like any perfume she wears is going to be pretty old-school and not something especially soft or welcoming. She's a hardboiled horse girlie so maybe something leathery like Robert Piguet Bandit??? 

Looking up reviews of Bandit, this has cracked me the fuck up:

The man on the radio is playing the Pink Panther theme by Henry Mancini ... then there's the 3 minutes of death, war, famine and pestilence, the newscaster's soft tones telling us how terrible the world is ... before we return to the man on the radio talking about the return of an old breed of goat on the Emerald Isle.

The sun is flitting in and out ... every so often adding extra oomph to the garishness that is the fields of rapeseed currently lighting up the surrounding land of next door's farm.

Bought some Broom as a bee treat. They're starting to get busy again. Gotta keep a close eye out for the bees that didn't make the cut ... so many dozy/wingless ones that crawl all around the yard. They all have to be collected up and moved to the other side of the gate so the dogs' paw pads don't fall foul of them.

The shiny metropolis awaits. Nice to see a different landscape but hate the noise and fumes. Amused myself with the idea of creating a perfume called 'Per-fumes', as per the fumes the town is awash with ... car fumes and people perfumes galore ... makes my head ache.

Once a week is enough, then it's back to the countryside smells ... a heady combination of flowers, animal poo and tractor fumes ... hmmmm ... (ponders) ... now what will I call that scent? ...
