The new site for Goblincrow's perfume line (Pierrot Perfumery) is up at last and I was able to place my order there! Ravenstag will soon be mine in 10ml form.
@mellifera Ooh, another person who uses the #indieperfume tag! Which one is your favorite? I adore Cocoa Pink & Solstice Scent๐
#IndiePerfume TIW Alkemia's Club des Hashischins. bought a sample last time I ordered from them
in bottle/wet: dark, coffee
on my skin: coffee, tobacco, spices. it's warm and intoxicating and complex
VERDICT: love it, want full size!
notes: A dark intoxication of hashish coffee and dawamesk from an original 1844 Club des Hashischins recipe that includes orange peel, cinnamon, clove, cardamon, nutmeg, and kola nuts blended with African Bronze Honey, blackberry pipe tobacco, leathered labdanum
#IndiePerfume TIW BPAL's Lightning Struck a Flock of Witches (Halloween collection)
in bottle/wet: sharp, ozonic, wild
on my skin: sharp and wild and homey, with that ozone scent still in the background. it reminds me of driving through a storm, trying to race a tornado to safety
VERDICT: that category of simultaneously wild and homey which I love so much; a sense of safety I never had as a kid
description: A crack of ozone slicing through blue benzoin, indigo musk, tobacco, and opoponax
#IndiePerfume TIW Solstice Scents' Sawmill. I got a sample with my most recent purchase of Smoky Mountain Mallow (Full Size)
in bottle/wet: extremely woody, cut wood/sawdust, with a hint of machine smell
on my skin: same as above, but warmer and more resinous. also darker and more complex
VERDICT: I love it! it's got that lumberjack essence for when I want to run away and live in the woods
notes: Fresh Cut Wood, Wood Resin, Balsam, Cured Woods, Pine, Black Coffee, Motor Oil, Amber, Saw Dust.
#IndiePerfume TIW Solstice Scents' Cardamom Rose Sugar: Brown Sugar, Cardamom, Moroccan & Bulgarian Rose Absolutes.
it smells warm and cardamom-y. it's so good and comforting.
this is one that my friend who got me into indie perfume bought. it's not something I would have thought I'd be into, but I LOVE IT
#IndiePerfume: TIW (Today I'm Wearing) Darling Clandestine's Vardรธgr
the previous toot is the official description of the scent. it's beautiful and deep and wild.
it was kind of an impulse buy, my first purchase from Darling Clandestine. so far, I LOVE this house. 13/10, would recommend
#IndiePerfume
VARDรGR. This weird little concoction is truly a masterpiece, if I do say so myself. Oh, it's gooood. And weird. Dark, damp, herbalโmossy forest floors, sunken alleys, underground spacesโwith a dozen unlikely notes including pure essential German chamomile, bitter black coffee, hazy Indian musks, sharp herbs and a whip of leather. Itโs not for everyone. Itโs strange. But oh my, is it fantastic.
Suite: Deep
Trad gender pref: Unisex to masculine
Boss level: 9
Season: Autumn
#IndiePerfume update!
I was eventually able to smell the stone faintly, but not really anything else ... here's hoping my nose was just having an off day ๐
#LifeStuff update: I am extremely exhausted. I had a good day, I got to hang out with friends and spend way too much money on stickers and patches and notepads (and a nonbinary flag!) at the local queer bookshop, then had food and rewatched a couple episodes of (new) Quantum Leap with my gf and a friend of ours, but I am SO fucking done ๐ด
#IndiePerfume time! I want to start doing this regularly
today I'm wearing BPAL's An Enchanted Cellar With Animals, from their Halloween collection
notes: A cacophony of feathers and fur, cracked clay and moist stone, scattered rushes, upturned herbs, red sage, and frankincense smoke
purchased for: clay and stone, feathers and fur
first sniff: mostly just smells sweet?
drydown: sweet & spicy; not getting a lot of clay/stone/animal
I'll try to update later!
just started work; trying to decide if I should work on a #textile project for #fiberuary or continue writing up my #indiePerfume Solstice Scents reviews ...
also I went to the dentist for my final filling!!! I have one more visit to get my temporary crown replaced with the real crown, but then it's just like yearly cleanings and nothing else!
anyway, that's my day. currently sitting at my work desk with one cat on my desk and another under it ๐คฃ

I realized I never did an #introductions here! Hi, I'm Jean(she/her)! I'm a cisgender #bi Woman of Color from Seoul but currently living in PNW with my husband and two cats.
I mostly post in Korean but I have an art account (link in profile!) that's primarily in English. On here, I mostly post about my mundane life, #cats, and #indieperfume :blobcatreach:

#indiePerfume search has been pretty successful! I found someone who had two of the three perfumes I was specifically looking for, and they also had a few others on my general perfume wishlist, so I'm looking forward to receiving a package of perfume samples sometime this week! so that's exciting!
I've still got 2 hours left of work, during which I'll probably get 4 calls, based on my call volume so far, so I guess it's time for videogaming
despite how late I stayed up (nearly 4am), I woke up around 10:30am. my shift starts soon, and Baruch haShem for working from home, bc I'm still finishing my breakfast
no real goals for today. I work noon to six and my between-calls activity is going to be scouring r/IndieMakeupAndMore for #indiePerfume that I can't get from the original shops anymore. (Sundays are destash days)
I'll update later with my perfume successes ๐
so I showered and washed the silicon tape on my #topSurgery scars (I'm supposed to wash the tape TWICE A DAY, which is definitely not something I have the energy for)
and I put on #indiePerfume, which I haven't done in a while ... I'm wearing #ArcanaWildcraft's Rรกn, which smells like rain and ocean and wet stone--so fucking comforting and homey
and now I'm hanging out with my friend and their dog Harper ๐

@kaylee G-d, idk ... sometimes when my cats lay on my chest and purr? some comfort food can maybe give me similar feels?
actually, I have perfumes that make me feel *home* in a way that has never really existed for me in any of my homes.
