BPAL to match cosplay?
I do a lot of cosplay, and I like matching appropriate scents for the character. A lot of times, I'm good at pulling something out of my stash that fits, and other times the sheer volume of BPAL overwhelms me.
Which would be why I am turning to you, community, in hopes that someone has a better memory than me for notes and names. Brief character descrips, because I know the overlap between 'BPAL fans' and 'Homestuck fans' is kind of small.
Kanaya Maryam - a little motherly, feminine, but still a badass. Uses a chainsaw on the undead and topiary scupltures alike. Hobbies are gardening and fashion. Also an alien vampire, and still fairly young. Heavily related to the astrological sign Virgo
Beforus Kanaya - AU version of the above - adult, less fighting of the undead, a little bit of a Victorian nanny/governess sort of role. My design choices were trying to walk the line between 'extremely proper' and 'hot mom'
The Dolorosa - adult, a rebel, extremely dignified but without the sense of rigid primness. Serious Momma Bear instincts, not afraid to get her hands dirty. Also associated with Virgo.
My ScentBase list is mostly up to date, though there's a few I still need to put in.

liz (a light, feminine vanilla floral perfume and a swirl of smoke and leather.) might work. it's not on your list though.
for beforus kanaya;
london (venerable victorian tea rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness.) might work. which is on your list.
for the dolorosa;
sarah, the mother bear (practical scents – warm, nurturing, wise, and strong: tonka bean, soft brown leather, myrrh, white sage, gurjum balsam, ceylon cinnamon bark, red sandalwood, sweet tobacco, and a touch of gunsmoke.) could work. from the pretty deadly line.

Oooh, thank you! I am already at-con right now (and ended up just grabbing Hecate as good generic go-to) but I will def keep these in mind for the future! (I totally want to try all the Pretty Deadly stuff, it's such a good series)
