I'm looking for a good scent for my first character. Her name is Delphine. She's a pickpocket and possibly a spy as well. She's foul mouthed, promiscuous, and bold as hell. She's also loyal, empathetic and always up for a bit of fun. She loves girly things (especially makeup and jewelery). She's a Ravnos, if it matters, and she speaks fluent French. Above all, she's a survivor. I can't see her in traditional perfume. Vicomte de Valmont piqued my interests, but I'd love more ideas. I see her smelling feminine, but dangerous. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, guys.

In Imp: Woodsy Wet: Piney and dark Dry: Masculine and outsdoorsy. Very nice, but too masculine for me.

In Imp: Clean and lemony Wet: Lemony and sweet, a little spicy. Really lemony. Dry: Lemon pledge. Damn. After: It turned into a very subtle blend of spices, but the lemon is still prominant and was too much for me. To swaps it goes.

In Imp- *quirks eyebrow* Pepper? Floral pepper? Even stranger, I like it. Wet- Earthy, wet, creamy. Starts floral and progresses nicely into a blend of earthy root and subtle floral. Dry-Sweet/bitter, a little medicinal, still creamy. Later: Love it.

In Imp: Really unusal, golden. Wet: Pineapple. Golden pineapple. Dry: I smell like a tropical smoothie. Blasted body chemistry.

In Imp: Green, not fruity green, leafy green. Wet- Dark, like a stone kitchen. hung wih herbs. Dry- bitter, olive-y, very green. Later-Bitter, lush green.

In Imp: Wet earth, spices Wet-Spicy for about three seconds. Then earth, which literally smells like death on me. Oh, bloody hell. That's as far as I got. My quixotic quest to prove that soil can so work on me continues.

In the Imp: sweet, not flowery. Hmmmm... Wet: Very ozone-y air, chocolate-y. Dry: Don't laugh- this smells like incense(not Catholic-style, something else) burning near a super expensive dark chocolate bar with orange. Later-Excellent. Mysterious and dark but not smothering. A new favorite.

In Imp-strong floral, white and sweet Wet- chamomile and something else- geranium? Dry- Reminds me of an idealized version of walking down the country road I live on with my best friend and smelling the wildflowers in the unmowed field. Later: Nice, but not me.

In Imp- strong, spicy Wet- mmm, spicy and masculine, but not macho-does that make sense? Juniper, but not Gin. Dry-powdery, spicy sweet, not foody at all. I could see wearing this to a business lunch ( if I had a business), because it's super pleasant, but doesn't scream PERFUME! as loudly as possible. It sort of implies it. Later: I see why this is 'Omen'. Oedipus might smell like this. I love it. *Caveat- I like masculine scents. This isn't hyper masculine, but it's not really feminine, either. *

In Imp: sweet-I can't define it Wet- sweet, floral, feminine Dry- wood, floral, sweet and creamy. Cinnamon, somehow. Lasted a good long time. I really like it. This is fairly gender neutral, but I see this on me, not on Jeff, know what I mean ?

In imp- sweet. fresh, faint Wet-slightly like tea and lime, a bit aquatic Dry- white and limey, like looking at a lime tree in the sun by a river Nice. Mom loved it.

In Imp: Roses. Very prominant roses Wet: Still roses, also wet, mouldy smell. I almost felt panicked. Dry: It turned to mildew on me, with the rose smelling too strong. I had such high hopes, too. Oh, well.

In Imp: Fruity. sweet, masculine. Wet: Wow, this changes about every thirty seconds. I smelled the fruity, spicy smell, the leather, the greenery, and the ozone, followed by the mellowing of the fruit and the prevailence of the ozone. Dry: I smelled the lighter, fruitspice smell, over the dry, sweet ozone. The part of the poem about the soured wine and cold bones is what I thogh of. I could smell age and desolation. Later: Lasted about four hours, but they were good hours. I like this a lot.

In Imp: Smells like commercial perfume-I can detect alchohol. This may or may not bode well. Wet: Strong, sharp flowery aroma. The flowers are very 'white' to me, maybe jasmine or heavy lily. This smells like something..... Dry:White Shoulders. It smells just like Grandma's perfume, only with a very slight tinge of incense. Later: It was too strong. It gave me a headache. Ah, well.
