I totally understand that "OMG EWW WTF" reaction. I had it to Delphi, which smelt entirely of cat pee. And d00m. It was horrid. I couldn't even put it on. So it went to swaps. I was sad, because Delphi is one of my most favorite places!

Yes, from the description, I *really* wanted to like Scarecrow, too...

How DARE you talk about my Scarecrow like that! *grumbles nail polish and ass grumbles*

On a side note, I just laughed rather loudly. hehe :)

ydnic April 5 2006, 23:24:00 UTC

Hey, I'm glad I got a laugh! :D

Seriously, body chemistry is so strange...up until now, everything had smelled, if not marvelous, at least good. Well, wait...there was Herr Drosselmeyer, about whom I wasn't sure. And Alone. I'm still not sure about that one.

I didn't get ass from Scarecrow...I did get a scent like vegetable cooking oil though! Which was weird, but not too unpleasant. I also got the 'hot straw and hay' note, and something pine-y. Interesting, but not my thing.

I'd try it again, but I've double-bagged that sucker.

Actually, I've had a couple smell absolutely horrifying in the vial, and smell fine on. Or even better than fine. And some stuff that smells nice in the vial is just *wrong* on me...

Exactly. Going through my new imps today, Sheol smelled great in the vial but stanky on, and Death Cap smelled like paint remover until it hit my skin and morphed into a lovely earthy-spicy resin.

I force myself to try every oil that I receive on, because with BPAL gambles can really pay off.

Scarecrow's not quite my thing, but I remember being pleasantly surprised at how nice it turned out the first time I tried it. Very grassy and light.

Yeah, I've definitely heard that, but there are so many others that I like, I figure everyone's got at least *one* in their swap pile. (Plus, this month's going to be tight, so I've got to stop all possible addictions in their tracks--so to speak.)

So what was your other frimp?

ydnic April 6 2006, 13:32:19 UTC

It was Le Serpent Qui Danse, and so far, it's an "ehhhhhh" scent for me. (I wanted to like it, really...)

liminalia April 6 2006, 13:39:10 UTC

Yeah, to me that smelled like those old-fashioned violet breath candies. Violets are just not me.
