higgs boson, the smoking duck and curiosity squared
From the always intriguing ZOMG Smells.
Higgs Boson. The lightness of cedar and tea grounded by the heaviness of patchouli and vetiver. What's not to love?
Smoking Duck. A playful daytime melange of patchouli, vetiver, tea, cedar and sweet tobacco.
Curiosity: Ariel's Version. This was supposed to be the scent of a communal Martian greenhouse, circa next century," and I think it succeeded. Lush green foliage and flowers both exotic and mundane. Surprisingly wearable, given my traditional leeriness about flowers.
Curiosity: Holly's Version. Well-worn leather and dry red dust, which is appropriate enough, considering that it purports to be "the scent of a Martian cowboy." Evocative and interesting, but not what I would consider terrifically wearable.
These both surprised me. I thought from the notes that I would prefer Smoking Duck to Higgs Boson; it was actually the opposite. I thought from the description that I would prefer Holly's version to Ariel's; it was actually the opposite.
I guess this is still a learning process for me.
