Someone mentioned the BPAL clove cigarette oil, but alas that was a 2020 limited edition & collaboration and it's now at private sales/swaps and I'm not really energetic enough to want to chase after it. So I've been poking around at other houses' take on the same concept.

Unfortunately the Organic Perfume Girl clove cigarette, despite a bottle smell with some promise, went straight to clove on my skin. I don't dislike clove, so this was fine with me, but it wasn't really what I was looking for.


I do have some scents from Ghoulish Goods that I think it would do well with: I'm thinking some of this Clove Cigarette with GG Black No.1 & GG Singed & Unhinged to round out the Goth Ambience and the actual smoke notes.

The clinic is a scent-free facility, so testing new arrivals is an afternoon/evening kind of hobby for the next week.

I'm rolling with the assumption that a couple different kinds of appointments are in my future. The clinic is an allegedly scent-free zone (I suspect that if I go in there having used a scented shampoo or something I won't get kicked out, but I'm not about to test this bc that seems extremely rude to everyone) so I will be limited in my opportunities. But!

My skin eats certain kind of scents. Complex layered fragrance with exotic smells? Put it on my tits and it turns into something vanilla musk adjacent. Though it doesn't seem to do quite that with at least certain florals. It's not exactly a curse, because I do like that vanilla musk scent, but it's ... well, I really should start using the scent locket gear that I got.

[twitter.com profile] ursulav is also part of the Class of '23 (a bit ahead of me, and it's the worst class to be in) mentioned her new superpower: mosquitoes no longer like her. One tasted her and flew off in disgust.

Then I saw a review roundup of some BPAL scents. And contemplated my (current) skin chemistry. And thought about it a little more.

OMG, what is this going to do to my skin chemistry. This is going to be fascinating, if I can stand any of the scents I have...

I got the package from [personal profile] some_stars and have so far tried Rose Anonyme and Flowerbomb. Both behave very well for me.

Surprisingly, I only got a little rose out of Rose Anonyme and briefly; the general floral scent was dominated by something spicy, maybe carnation. I couldn't keep my nose away from my wrist.

Having been warned from two sources about Flowerbomb, I used the tiniest squirt I could manage. I was surprised by a milky scent near the beginning (fortunately it didn't turn into baby-spitup death) and then the conviction that it gets its legendary sillage from some kind of mint.

Both make me into a very happy cloud of flowers!
