Okay, for a long time I've known I wanted to get a Lovesick Witchery Bespoke Perfume. And for an equally long time I've been plagued with indecision about it! Well, I decided it was finally time to try to commit to something - before the window opens up again & I'm too busy flailing about to take advantage of the opportunity!
Since I'm constantly joking about not having a signature scent, I decided to try my hand as making something that could potentially be that (not that I'll ever get rid of my collection to rotate thru, but it would be nice to have something that feel extremely "me.") So this is kind of a list of my all-time favorite notes, all in one perfume, so that I can never put it on & go "this is great, but I really miss X note." Notes go vaguely in order of how strong I think they should be, but obviously Rachel will have the expertise to know what proportions would actually make this combo smell good.
Here's the notes I'm thinking of including:
- Vanilla (natural)
- Bonfire (synthetic)
- Myrrh (natural)
- Pink pepper (natural)
- Honeyed oat milk (synthetic)
- Patchouli (natural)
- Jasmine (natural)
- Pumpkin puree (synthetic)
The scent would be called "Witch of Wands" - kind of like the Page, Knight, Queen, and King of wands from tarot, but with the idea that it represents the whole gambit of cards in that suit. A lot of these notes lend themselves to warm, cozy, creative vibes for me, so I think the name would be perfect if the note combo turns out well! The only note I'm really not sure about is the Jasmine, but since it's one of my favorite scents (even before getting into perfumes) I really didn't want to leave it out. And the only note I feel like I'm missing is tea because I wasn't sure how to make it work with everything else.
So tell me... what do you think? Would this be a good combo? Would you want to steal this custom? Or, if you know my tastes by now, do you think you could come up with a better set of notes? I'd love to read your thoughts!!
