Finally getting around to trying Umbra.
Holy crap, it's ruthless and savage like Geek, only moreso. Despite the fact that it doesn't contain leather, which is usually what I require to give a scent a fully sexy rating, this is a scent that just lunges straight for the naughty bits and keeps on teasing.
Actually, no. It doesn't tease. It doesn't care whether I like it or not. It's just having its way with me.
Luckily, I appear to be enjoying it.
None of this is helped by the fact that I've been perving over dangerous older men for three days now. If getting an open-handed spanking from Jason Isaacs had a soundtrack, this smell would somehow be on it.
I smell like pirate crotch, courtesy of Masabakes, which is a delightful scent if you want to drive away your crab lice. No. No. That's not fair. It'll curl your eyebrows, but I really DO like it. Does it make me weird that I enjoy the really dark, feral, ferociously stinky scents?
I put on Satyr before bed last night and woke up in the morning with that gleeful sort of Christmas morning glow. I had no idea why, until I raised the sheets and caught a whiff of myself, and what the perfume had done cooking under the bedclothes all night. It went from the smell of a very well-groomed goat to being the smell of three days worth of pitilessly good sex crammed into eight hours. Subconsciously from the smell I'd been expecting to find another person in the bed, and it smelled like they were sex-ay. This Satyr owns a disco in the hip downtown district, baby!
Curiously, they make a killer root beer float.
Alas, Vicomte de Valmont, I am not fool enough to fall for your tricks a second time.
Jeez. What is it with florals? So few of them can I actually wear, and nothing, apparently, with violet, geranium or carnation. It's either stinky soap, rancid makeup, or baby powder. Nauseating. And they smell so nice on other people! It's a conspiracy. Only roses don't turn on me.
Geek, though . . . now that's a smell! Red-hot cinnamony slapped-around butt-groping sex. Now with leather!
Yes, this is going to be a random scent-thoughts journal, rather than a real news and updates journal (that would be at my livejournal account). I'll maunder here about things perfumey.
