I SAID I WOULD DO IT AND SO I'M DOING IT (THE SMELLENING)

[niceassassin]

This is the most stupid post! But that's okay, because that's what GDS is for.

If your characters wore Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume, which scents would they wear?

For those of you not in the know! BPAL is basically...goth fantasy nerd perfume. It has scents based on Witchblade, Lovecraft stories, The Last Unicorn, RPG races and classes,

Also, when it comes to LEs, I'd say maybe Giallo or something like Sibyl or Quincy Morris (lol, my taste tends to lean toward discontinued and expensive :/).

THE LION - The dry, glorious warmth of the Savannah. A golden, spiced amber, proud, regal and ferocious.

STORMCLOUDS OVER THE MIDWAY
In your smoke-addled confusion, the Midway seems strangely empty and devoid of life. The tents that line the path appear distorted, out of proportion, and cartoonish, their angles arching menacingly.
For a moment, the only sound you hear is the soft squelch of your boots on the damp ground. As your eyes adjust, the tents right themselves, the sounds of the Midway swirl around you, and you feel the press of the crowd against your body. The Calliope's eerie drone lilts above the swelling chatter.
Wine-colored storm clouds are gathering, and the scent of incense and ozone is thick in the wet air.
Thunder-charged ozone, plum-colored incense smoke, opium tar, and wormwood.

I say this because it fits the opening of episode 35 quite well, what with the thunderstorm and Trowa wandering around lost and alone with amnesia to boot, shortly before Cathy finds him to take him back to the circus. Even better is the implication of the coming storm, which is very much true--this is right around the time when the series

OMG I LOVE BPAL SO MUCH I HATE THAT I CAN'T JUSTIFY GETTING MORE

Peter has, like, negative interest in cologne, though. Also all the categories that look promising (PERIODIC TABLE OMG) are being refurbished. :/ SUGGESTIONS WELCOME I am going to bed now so I don't have time to browse.

However, I have spent a lot of time thinking about what a BPAL-esque Spider-Man perfume would smell like -- definitely smoke, and a bit of a medicinal/minty top note (canonically other characters have mentioned him smelling like this), maybe a woody/spicy note like cedar or nutmeg or hazelnut to keep the overall scent warm-ish. IDK, I've never actually made perfume although I've been thinking of trying it.

also this is not BPAL but

PETER:
A black currant-champagne cocktail for the Emperor after a long day out on the hunt, sipped as he daydreams about a certain wooden tallship.

NOTES
Black Currant, Champagne, Leather, Lemon, Matcha Tea, Patchouli

So tempted by this. Even with the Patchouli.

Like a few years ago I discovered that and was like NEAT!!!! /GETS A BUNCH

/FINDS OUT THEY ALL SMELL LIKE GOTH STORE

HMM MUST'VE BOUGHT THE WRONG ONES

/GETS MORE THAT ALSO SMELL LIKE GOTH STORE

and that's the story of how I became very bitter. Anyway I can't do this because I only have boyz and I don't trust BPAL's cologne type things to smell like anything other than goth store.

Actually Daken could probably smell like goth store. He is an angry teenager.

[niceassassin]

I've found that some of them smell okay, some of them smell great depending on who you use them on, some of them smell like goth store, and some of them, even worse, smell like hippie store. It's a dangerous game to play.

[godofnicehair]

I think I'm equating goth store and hippie store. INCENSE SMELL
