Last night before going to the wedding, Jill offered me a couple of the perfumes she keeps in her purse. Both were kinda too floral for me, so I declined. And then wished I had some hanging around in my purse for those moments when I realize that, hey, this is a time when it would be nice to alter my scent from the default of ‘woman, vaguely raspberryish from my choice of hair products’.
So I hit up ZOMG Smells for a couple tiny bottles of their Spacebat. I’d met them at Geek Girl Con a couple years ago and gotten a few of their perfumes, and Spacebat is the one that I just keep on using, so I figured I needed a few tiny bottles.
And then I looked for a few other scents, to fill out the order and give my self variety. I quickly noticed that the ones I went for first had names like ‘Kuiper Belt Objects Unite In Vengeance’ or ‘Coronal Mass Ejection’. Add this onto the couple tiny vials I have of their ‘Oort’ and something becomes clear: I want to smell like space.
