petronia

It occurs to me that if I were cleverer about this I would post my ficlets in the manner of an advent calendar. Oh well!

Last night, over Chinese buffet, I recounted to

dipping_sauce the plots of:

Tokyo Babylon
X, or the part of it that involved Subaru and Seishirou
A good chunk of TRC
Viewfinder. Erin, in retrospect I think it would've been even better if I referred to Takaba as Asami's chia pet. "I... I'm going to steal your potted plant! Just to make a point! I'll even water it! I bet you feel sorry now, don't you?"

Did not recount the plot of Rg Veda, due to lack of time not insanity.

Phantasm
This delicate, spectral perfume gives rise to an eerie distortion of of the senses. It bestows an ephemeral, ghostly, and truly haunting quality to your presence. Green tea, lemon verbena, jasmine and neroli.

Similar to Shanghai, but I like it better because it packs more floral oomph. If you read that one SSBB story you know how I feel about neroli. *g* The heart is decidedly jasmine: the idea occurred to me that if I put a couple of drops of Shanghai on the soap dish next to my Godiva shampoo bar it would smell very much like this. XD On paper this is probably the best BPAL oil to layer with my current Lush product combination of Godiva and Lemslip buttercream, except Lemslip smells like real, fresh lemon juice and not lemon verbena. I don't talk about the Lemslip much but I think the skin on my shoulders and back really has been acting up a lot less since I started using it. Am almost out, though... I have to head to my second job tonight to implement an emergency fix(!) or I'd be tempted to go get more soap tonight, and a hand cream. Montreal's air is ludicrously dessicated. =_=

Phantasm is still a relatively light fragrance though. In fact the combination of notes so cries out "summer nights" to me that I really don't think I could bear to wear this in wintertime. XD
