Scent Moods

[azurelunatic]

Most of my "perverse, decadent, and smug" comes from imagining the scents from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, link courtesy of pharminatrix. Mmm.

I want to, when I have the spare change (and I'm in yet another phase of the Chronically Broke, this one due to starting up a savings account so that I'll have the money when I need it rather than getting shinies when I see shinies) get some of their samples so that I can decide what yumminess I want to buy from them, because they look like they've got the good stuff, and I need some of those oils.

I want to try all the musks, I need some orange blossom (that's one of my scents...) ... mmm. Mmm. And the love potions. Mmmm.

I still want to make my Spiced Peach Tart perfume as well. That's one of the blends I contemplated while in the car with Aunt-Fayoumis driving to the family reunion. Inspired by lmbujold, concocted by the mind of the Lunatic, it would theoretically have scents of peach, cinnamon, perhaps ginger and clove. Hooray, spiced peach tart!

Now I'm hungry. I want to make some spiced peach tarts for tomorrow, after I get home from work. We only have canned peaches, alas -- but that's enough to work with, though I'm sure tygerr might disagree...

Mmm... Spiced peach tarts...

I use some star aniseed, too. And vanilla.

Mmm, sounds tasty.

Black Phoenix: marnan shops there sometimes. Which is a high recommendation, incidentally.

Peaches: canned peaches are quite adequate for pie fillings and similar. They're also lovely as an ice cream topping. Proper *fresh* peaches are much better than canned if you intend to use them as a seduction aid. Which, given your posted Derangement, may in fact be the case.

Though fresh peaches aren't really *required* even for that. A highly satisfying seduction can be performed with sliced canned peaches dribbling syrupy nectar all over one's torso. Half-melted vanilla ice cream strictly optional, though a goodly supply of towels is pretty much required.

Mmmm, I think I may go shopping for peaches and ice cream tonight....

No seduction happening over here. I'm not sure if that's a "sadly" or not -- right now I seem to have Naomi's sex drive, which is to say, not very much.

It's very nice to feel relationship-full, which is how I feel right now. In fact, I'd say (if I weren't afraid of jinxing myself) that for the first time since the age of 5 or 6, I'm Not Looking.
