Nov. 29th, 2008 12:43 pmHow cool is this perfume company? I've wasted hours just reading the descriptions.
From the Wonderlust collection.
Or the Illyria Collection, inspired by Shakespeare's plays.
I'm trying very hard to remember that hand-mixed perfumes are not essential to my existence (indeed, up until now I've done very well without them), but I'm not sure I believe it. I do really love perfume. Screw you, asthmatics.
I've now been inventing scents for characters. And myself, of course--I think I'd be sandalwood, olive oil and gardenia. Chase would be lemon, lemon blossom and cloves. Frannie would be sweet pea, lilac, musk and a trace of white pepper.
What would y'all be?
From the Wonderlust collection.
BAYOU
A lazy, warm deep green scent with a thick aquatic undertone: Spanish moss, evergreen and cypress with watery blue-green notes and an eddy of hothouse flowers and swamp blooms.
HAVANA
Date palm, dried tobacco, snakeroot, and leather.
PORT-AU-PRINCE
Dark, decadent and incomparably exotic: the rich scent of buttered rum flavored with almond, bay, clove and sassafras.

ANTONY
The embodiment of Classic masculinity. A warrior's scent: the green hills and grasses of the battlefields, the resinous incense from the prayers to his Gods [sic], and a touch of the musky leather of his armor. Ambergris and frankincense with sage, and basil.
LADY MACBETH
The essence of ambition, covetousness and manipulation: sweet Bordeaux wine, blood red currant, thyme and wild berries.
OBERON
Orchid, white musk, and bergamot wafting over juniper berries, with a gentle touch of soft, earthy patchouli.
