Contemplation of perfume wants:
I desire Marmalade Tabby from ZOMGSmells due to, well, Theoden the Amazing Marmalade Lump-Cat, and Garden Nap from same, due to my love of green vegetal smells.
However, I also lust for The Phoenix in Spring, and possibly "Klara" or "Harlequin and Columbine" from the same general Limited Edition BPAL collection. "Valse Finale et Apotheose" draws me as well, but I can probably resist (...on the other hand, honey, white mint, and apple blossom? Oh my...). "Klara" is "Honey dusting powder, mandarin, iris, ylang ylang, tea rose, and carnation," while "Harlequin and Columbine" is "French vanilla, red currant, sage, balsam, rosewood, mandarin, lemon peel, pomegranate, and cedar."
The money some girls spend on haute couture or designer hand-bags, I spend on fancy and bizarre perfumes. And books. Always books.
All of that said, I'm still disappointed by my purchase of "Luna Moth," from the butterfly/moth LE's over the summer. It smells of bubblegum. This was not what I was given to expect. :( And that, despite the raging success of all my Halloween choices this year, is making me sulky and uncertain about continued perfume purchases.
