Cherry blossoms, violet root, muguet, green tea, crystalline musk, and yuzu.
They all started telling stories, then, of how fine and wonderful a thing it was to be a ghoul, of all the things they had crunched up and swallowed down with their powerful teeth. Impervious they were to disease or illness, said one of them. Why, it didn’t matter what their dinner had died of, they could just chomp it down. They told of the places they had been, which mostly seemed to be catacombs and plague-pits (“Plague Pits is good eatin’,” said the Emperor of China, and everyone agreed.) They told Bod how they had got their names and how he, in his turn, once he had become a nameless ghoul, would be named, as they had been.
“But I don’t want to become one of you,” said Bod.
“One way or another,” said the Bishop of Bath and Wells, cheerily, “you’ll become one of us. The other way is messier, involves being digested, and you’re not really around very long to enjoy it.”
“But that’s not a good thing to talk about,” said the Emperor of China.”Best to be a Ghoul. We’re afraid of nuffink!”
And all the ghouls around the coffin-wood fire howled at this statement, and growled and sang and exclaimed at how wise they were, and how mighty, and how fine it was to be scared of nothing.
Dessicated skin coated in blackened ginger, cinnamon, and mold-flecked dirt, with cumin, bitter clove, leather, and dried blood.
The scent of a pirate’s bumboat, overflowing with stolen wares: tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg.
“I feel like all the sands are at the bottom of the hourglass.”
“Turn it over, then.”
The white roses and orange blossoms of hope penetrating despair’s black fog of opoponax, black myrrh, bruised violet, clove, funereal lily, and grief-struck carrot seed.
ashevo –
Firstly, I was overjoyed to see this perfume pop up. And I hoped it would be WEIRD.
It did not disappoint. In the bottle, it smells like BUBBLES (as in, the kind that come in a plastic bottle with a wand). I put it on my skin. One, two, three, *MORPH*. (I laughed, and made my spouse smell. Bottle vs 2 seconds on skin is a completely different scent. It’s like a magic trick.) It’s now a mixture of those spiced straw brooms my grandma used to keep during the holidays + pleasant soap. It also projects like your great-uncle Lester’s voice at the Christmas table.
Ten minutes later, I’m catching the blue cotton candy and copper, but it’s not cloying/cheap at all. It’s wacky in a weirdly sophisticated way, and less soapy. Will definitely reach for it regularly.
