What does that character smell like?

[synecdochic]

Inspired by a few discussions we've had in comments here and there to open posts, and because rydra_wong said this morning "Also, there should totally be the perfume equivalent of fanmixes -- find the appropriate scent for all the main characters in a show ..."

So, if you've got a scent association with a particular character, or are trying to find a scent that sums up a character, let's make lists!

I love this idea.

I've been trying to find a scent that makes me think of Olivia Dunham from Fringe (blue universe, not red) for a while. What I'd like is bourbon and gunpowder, but all the bourbon scents that I'm aware of are far to sweet. Det. Patrick Gleason from BPAL is on my list to try, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Ideas?

I suspect it will fall under too sweet but what about BPAL's juke joint? I just got a frimp today that I haven't tried, but the forums say that it smells just like a mint julep.

Hadn't thought of that one. I'll add it to my list of things to try.

My daughter and I tested Juke Joint yesterday and it falls squarely into Does Not Work for Me. It's got 13 pages of reviews on the site which are almost exclusively positive except for me and Kiera on pg 6 who had the same reaction to the scent. LOL

You are welcome to it if you'd like. I will never wear it again.

I'd love to try it, but the only imps I have to trade right now are Thorns and Has No Hanna. I've got and order of imps in, if you want to wait for something different.

No trade is necessary. :) It's yours free and clear. But if you want to trade, either of those sounds great to me. I'm so new to this gig that I have no idea what I do and don't like at this stage. :)
