Skip this, it's just me musing about my next order. Since it's spring and almost summer, I'd like to get a few new GC scents that I've been noting as good spring scents.
I'm definitely getting;
MB: Ventriliquist Dummy
MB: Bloody Mary
MB: Tokyo Stomp
.....and I might get a couple of the Dogs Playing Poker scents; Riding the Goat is really peaking my interest and one other whispered to me the other day but I can't remember which one.
I'm wearing Bordello today and really loving how fresh and sweet it is so I might order a 5ml of that for the season. I need one more springy scent so I'll have to decide between getting something like Amsterdam (light florals) or Manhatttan (modern and sleek) or maybe even Empyreal Mist (very green and fresh). I also really want a 5ml of St. Theresa in Ecstasy but I'm not sure if I should wait until later or not.
I have a few things that I need to sell on ebay to boost my paypal balance a bit. I'm getting my tax return in a few days but I really need most of it to pay off bills. I'm thinking I should only use about $200 of it on teh smellies.
I'm a bad girl because I just ordered a couple of Villainess soaps too and I still am working on my Snake Oil soap and I have one Kumiho to use!
Now I'm going to go haunt the Retail Therapy section in hopes that I can find some really good body lotion....preferrably unscented....because my skin has been so dry lately.
Some of you may have seen me around the forum, searching like the madwoman I am for the perfect ocean blend. It all started when I received Thalassa (which is amazing!!) and I just became obsessed with aquatics. I pretty much love any aquatic (unless they are heavy because those give me a migraine) probably because I am a water sign. So I thought I'd keep track of all the scents as I try them on my little quest. A huge thank you to all those that have offered suggestions and samples. You all are very awesome!
Thalassa the Galapagos Mermaid - The scent that started it all! This one is actually just a shade to the left of perfect. It has other things going on though and I'm looking for a pure ocean scent. That is actually why I'm looking to other perfumers for this because Beth doesn't do the single note thing anymore. This one gives me my fix in the meantime and I just love it for those days when I'm feeling the spring fever and I can pretend I'm a mermaid....or something.
Mara Fox: Mermaids in Atlantis - Sensing a theme here? This had no aquatic in it whatsoever but it is a lovely, sweet melon! Very nice and cool for summer.
High Priest Not to be Described - I actually knew this wouldn't be a straight aquatic but I thought I'd include it anyway. I really like the way that the Arkham scents really evoke that sense of impending danger I get from Lovecraft stories.
Roux-ga-Roux - This one definitely has that deep, brackish bog water aquatic and I love it but it still isn't quite IT.
Caliban - OMG this is GREAT! It's not exactly the scent I'm looking for but it's very salty and oceanic and probably the closest so far.
I just wanted to try and put together my next order to be placed with the upcoming revisit of Blue Moon. It can't be as extravagant and my last one but as long as the new CD scents don't come out, I'll just focus on getting a few GC scents I've been wanting.
Blue Moon - Hopefully we'll have a few reviews before it goes live again but if not, I think I'll get two bottles just in case I ADORE it. $27.50?
The Star $26.50
Y'ha-nthlei $15
Kiyohime Changes from a Serpent $25.50
Sunrise with Sea Monsters $25.50
Snake Oil $15
Whip $15
Sea of Glass $15
Ava Luxe: The Beach - This is so close to what I'm looking for. It's beautiful and very much like a day at the beach but it's not quite IT. God I'm so picky!!
Nocturne Alchemy: The Nile - This is all sweet melon. I LOVE it but it's not what I'm looking for.
I'll have more later but I have to get back to work!
