If your perfume reminds me of someone from my past i will either be awkwardly attracted to you or avoid you forever. There is literally no in between

We've already made a bunch of weird perfume combos - cantaloupe and leather, poundcake and concrete, watermelon and Egyptian musk, etc.

What's the strangest fragrance combo that you'd want to smell?

I reply โ€œhell yeahโ€ to a lot of mushroom photos because when I see a picture of a mushroom a little voice in my head goes โ€œhell yeahโ€ and then I type that and hit send

Any kind of lipstick organizer usually works great for 5 and 10ml sizes. I've also heard of people using pen organizer cases for sample vials!

I want to smell like squash guts.
Perfume - Enquiry

That's it. I want to smell like when you first cut open a pumpkin or a butternut squash and take a deep, drawn out whiff of their heavenly insides. No other notes.

Could anybody recommend a product for me to try out?

Thank you so much!

I want to smell like insulin
Perfume - Enquiry

I was doing some reading on why insulin smells the way it does (if you've been around synthetic insulin, you know the smell) and found out it's due to phenol. If anyone is going to know where to find a fragrance like that, it's this sub. Apparently, it also smells like bandaids (never knew they had a smell?) and scotch, if that's any help.

Perfumes for a gay wizard???

You read the title right. I want to smell like a queer coded, purple robed, slightly crazy, magic man. Think, Merlin from the sword in the stone animated movie.

Im not looking for florals, or gourmands. I want something more atmospheric, and masculine, but very wearable. I would love if it had incense and/or myrrh, resins, amber, stuff like that that has magical, whimsical, wizard-esque vibes.

Thank you (:
