I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life.
Tweed and crisp linen, lime-tinged aftershave, the sleek steel and oil of a well-cared for service revolver, and the echo of a Jezail bullet shell.
It was on a bitterly cold and frosty morning during the winter of ‘97 that I was awakened by a tugging at my shoulder. It was Holmes. The candle in his hand shone upon his eager, stooping face and told me at a glance that something was amiss.
“Come, Watson, come!” he cried. “The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!”

You hear a clatter on the ground behind you, and a small bleached bone smacks against your foot. Cloaked in shadows between the tents, three men crouch playing knucklebones. Distress clouds the face of one of the men, while another bursts into a wicked smile and the last one sighs in relief. Scooping up his winnings and shaking his head, the victor makes a soft ‘tsk’ noise as he reaches towards the loser’s chest, positioning his hand over the man’s heart. Pressing forward, his hand moves through cloth, flesh, muscle, and bone to extract the beating organ. Tossing the heart onto the ground, he says to you, “Mind handing me those bones, buddy? I’ve got a game to run here.”
Black musk, bay rum, lime fougere, orange blossom water, gin, and tobacco.
A gentlemen’s blend, possessed of dignity, charm and refinement, but in truth masking a corrupted, hideous, soulless core. White musk, lime, lilac and citron.
Sweet Indonesian patchouli, red benzoin, champaca attar, French lavender, coconut husk, bay leaf, tobacco absolute, lime, and honey.
2024 will mark The Nobodies’ seventh annual drag pageant, in which 56 competitors of all genders battled through five weeks of events in Brooklyn. What does it take to win in a contest where all the “rules” of an art form are suspended? Over the weeks leading up to the pageant’s finale, reality itself will be pushed to the breaking point.
However, only one may claim the title of MX. NOBODY, winning a $500 grand prize provided by BPAL and a battalion of additional prizes from other wonderful sponsors.
In hopes of rallying future contestants to this cause, here’s a perfume blend aimed at performers and drag aficionados from all walks of life, or anyone who aspires to the judges’ NOPE factor: Newness, Outlook, Passion, and Eugh.
Endless congrats to Diva Baby the 2023 MX. NOBODY winner, photographed especially for the latest MX. NOBODY perfume label by Jessye Herrell.

Weed-smoke and lime-tinged vapors rising from a cauldron of green slime, suspended by cracked leather straps above the heads of an unsuspecting audience.

This is a very clean and sharp scent. The lime is there but when mixed with the linen smell it turns into a soapy scent with a hint of citrus. Again, very fresh and clean. I like it.

this is such a fresh scent, its so yummy and lively, it is kinda masculine but in a softly feminine way. I dunno lol but its a really beautiful scent

This was a freebie and happily so! I tried it on both myself and my husband. On me the lime notes were predominant: line, lime flower, sexy aftershave and a scent like skin rubbing on steel. On my husband it was almost straight to the metallic notes with only a memory of the other scents.

I was most excited about this imp out of my order (Sherlock was unavailable) and it didn’t disappoint in the least. I first detected lime with a hint of metallic sweetness to it. My husband wanted to smell it as well and his reaction was, “Pepsi. Smells like Pepsi.” I forced him to wear some because he wasn’t too keen on the others I ordered and the perfume dried down on him oak first and finished with baby powder. He said he could see my point but he liked it anyway. I love it and it makes me feel a little closer to one of my favorite story lines of all time. Excellent job!
Gloame –
Ooh, lime and… I swear, pine! That must be the tobacco mixing with the lime. It’s a very pretty masculine scent.

Fresh from the imp, this is like a pleasantly old-fashioned men’s cologne. On my skin, tobacco asserts itself, and maybe just a tinge of gunpowder; I would not be surprised if Dr. Watson’s coat smelled like this. 🙂 Now, I have no particular occasion to smell like Dr. Watson’s coat, so I can’t see myself with a larger size of this scent; HOWEVER,layered with the Sherlock Holmes scent (which I reviewed a little less enthusiastically), you get something that must smell very much like the parlor at 221 B Baker Street. For that reason, I bumped it up from a 3 to a 4 (and I might just put a dab of each on and trot out the Jeremy Brett-Sherlock Holmes DVDs for a marathon.)
