Honey, I [insert groan worthy pun here]
Does anyone else look at their calendar on their LJ page and the filled in boxes and think, 'Ooooh. If I made a post today, I could make a pretty pattern'? Or even, 'I can't post today, because that will mess up the pattern I've got going on!'
No? Just me then.
Before I get into the veggie meat substitute of today's post (oooooh, pretty pattern!), I just wanted to remind you all - because of course you are all going to sign up and simply haven't got around to it yet! - that the sign-ups for bothsga_santa and the Czech is in the Male ficathingies close on the 31st. And you are going to sign up, aren't you? Especially for the Czech is in the Male thing-a-thon because there are currently 12 sign ups and I haven't signed up, and I can't sign up if that means that there are going to be 13 participants. Not even if it closes on Halloween because... dude. Thirteen!
So, go sign up. It's okay. I'll wait here for you to come back.
...
Okay, now that you've all signed your lives away up, I have a question, oh wise and friendly and helpful flist. See, I woke up this morning and for some reason (I'm blaming munchkinott because she's so convenient to blame). Not so much for the waking up bit, but for the fact that me - who seldom wears perfume) suddenly had a hankering for honey scents.
I love Lush's (ha! totally typed lust in there first) honey, I washed the kids soap. I love the fact that when I shower with it first thing in the morning, I can smell honey at random times during the day (and have to fight the urge to flap my top just to get a waft of honey - oh, shut up. You'd all do it too if you smelt as yummy). So I've been thinking for a while, 'Hmmmm... I wish that lasted longer.'
Being an idiot, it didn't dawn on me until today that perhaps someone did a honey scent.
::head desk::
I am occasionally slow on the uptake.
And in thinking about who might make a honey scent - and hating going to perfume counters where they lie in wait for you - I thought BPAL. I know some people on my flist are fans, so I thought I'd pick your brains.
I'm thinking of ordering some imps, especially as the exchange rate is in my favour at the moment. I'm also thinking a maximum of 12, as the postage is the same up until then and frankly, the postage to the UK is almost as much as 6 imps as it is. So it makes sense to order 12.
I've come up with a short list - a very short list - of what I think I'd like to try in a honey range. These are:
Blood Kiss
Hetairae
Gennivre, L'artiste Du Diable
Jezebel
Dragon's Milk
This is just a tentative shortlist, so if you think any of them aren't all that, I'd like to know that too. I'm not sure about Jezebel, because I'm not sure about Sandalwood.
I'd like to branch out from there as well. I like scents that aren't too sweet and florally, but I love honey and vanilla, because I love the warmth that those scents bring with them. I love cinnamon type scents too, and as Christmas is coming up that's possibly pushing me in that direction, and maybe even chocolate type notes. I'm not sure about that, though, because I think chocolate might not smell so good on me. So warm tones are definitely something I'm leaning towards.
I like crisper scents too - the one I'm using tonight is a watermelon one from Bath and Body that I got when I went to stay with terimaru last year, but while I do like it, it turns a little chemically on me after a while. So perhaps something in that vein without the chemically aftertaste. Nothing too overpowering, because I'm really not someone who wears perfume regularly.
But I'm fairly open to suggestions. What do you think I have to try. What do you think that I'll love, given what I've said or what do you think I'll just love because you do and why?
So, what would you recommend. Pimp me, baby. Pimp me hard.
No? Just me then.
