acotar character headcannons: perfume

in case yall were wondering, i sat my perfume tray sniffing everything i owned and matching it to characters 

also !! i have sniffed every single one of these fragrances in store and the ones i own to write this! Some of them i really love, some i like, some i loathe. 

(if anyone ever wants to talk about perfume my dms are open im a perfume nut) 

azriel: he loves sweet and fruity. his personal favorite is a straight up juicy almond-y cherry scent. 

fine’ry not another cherry (the dupe for tom ford’s lost cherry (and it lasts longer than tom ford!!)) 

snif co tart deco

kate spade cherie 

cassian: pure. vanilla. I'm telling you the most strong men crumble at vanilla. Frankly everyone does but that’s another story. 

byrosiejane dulce 

dossier floral marshmallow (dupe for kilian love don’t be shy).  

ellis brooklyn bee 

rhysand: he loves sweet violet scents. Violet is a darker, richer note. It’s sweet and dewy but not overpowering. It's home. 

dolce and gabbana’s the only one 

sol de janeiro 59 

fine’ry magnetic candy 

feyre: a baked good. if you smell like a baked good she’s on the floor. While she loves a plain vanilla, she also loves a more complex, unique scent on you. It makes you easier to find in crowds and a part of her loves watching people crumble at your feet because of your scent and then seeing that you’re always gonna go home with her. 

snif co’s crumb couture 

nest madagascar vanilla 

replica coffee break

morrigan: she loves sweet and fruity as well, but her vice is strawberry. she likes when you smell like a delicious baked strawberry cake with vanilla frosting. she also is a sucker for lychee and rose scents. 

bath and body works strawberry pound cake

ouai’s melrose place 

kayali’s eden sparkling lychee  

amren: she’s not one for strong scents, she gets headaches and irritated. But she loves when your natural scent has a hint of something. Very clean smelling. 

clean reserve’s radiant nectar 

replica matcha meditation 

jo malone london nectarine blossom and honey

nesta: rain, earth, musk. She loves to smell that fresh just cracked open a book, dark academia type smells. It’s very homey to her and reminds her of peace. Which, the poor woman does not get often. 

replicas when the rain stops 

phlur missing person 

juliette has a gun not a perfume 

elain: she loves flowery/fruity smells or you smelling more masculine with flower notes. She loves lavender on you specifically, 

ariana grande god is a woman 

snif co’s house of 8 

phlur mood ring 

lucien: he loves citruses. specifically the smell of tangerines/oranges. He loves when you smell like a juicy, sun-drenched orange in the summer. 

phlurs’ tangerine boy 

dolce and gabanna’s devotion 

nest seville orange 

eris: like azriel (azris lol) he loves a cherry scent but his favorite is a darker cherry. He loves when you smell woody and fruity. Something dark and decadent. He’s also a rum guy. 

kayali’s lovefest burning cherry 

replica’s jazz club 

kilian paris angel share

tarquin: this man loves beachy and summer. He likes that lighter sea breezy citrusy scents but also the sweet tropical ones as well. 

replica’s beach walk 

dolce and gabbana light blue

sol de janeiros 62

What’s Your Signature Fragrance?

Citrus? Floral? Musky? What fragrance family is your favorite?

There are so many different fragrances to choose from, but knowing what fragrance family you like can make your decision easier.  I’ve composed a list of fragrances based on their scent families:

Floral:

Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Seduction Eau de Parfum

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense

Ariana Grande CLOUD Eau de Parfum

Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Parfum

Fresh:

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense

Victoria’s Secret Love Eau de Parfum

Tory Burch “Tory Burch” Eau de Parfum

Kate Spade Walk on Air Eau de Parfum

Clean Original “Clean” Eau de Parfum

Chloe Fleur de Parfum

Fruity:

Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy Eau de Parfum

Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy Eau de Parfum

Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Eau de Parfum

Vince Camuto Ciao Eau de Parfum

Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum

Warm/Spicy:

Kat Von D Sinner Eau de Parfum

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum

Tom Ford Ombre Leather

Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Eau de Parfum

Michael Kors Sexy Ruby Eau de Parfum

and now…here’s my story on how I found perfumes that are in my favorite scent family: Musky

A lot of people tend to have one fragrance that is their “signature” scent.  When I was little, I remember telling my mom that my grandma was scented (LOL).  I was too young to know what perfume was (and my family thought it was hilarious) so I always just thought she lived her life smelling like that…until the day I saw her spray her favorite perfume.  Btw, she still wears the same one to this day.  

 Personally, I never found a perfume I loved so much that it was the only one I wore.  I tend to switch back and forth.  Victoria’s Secret used to be my go-to perfume shop.  But every time I found a perfume I liked there, it would be gone within one year.  Some of my favorites included Sexy Little Things Noir, Fearless (I wayyyy overstocked on Fearless so I do still have that left), and Bombshell Nights.  

So this year, I ventured out to some other brands and here’s what I found.

These are the perfumes I have come to love:

Coach Love-  This was the first brand I tried out other than Victoria’s Secret.  Today, it’s not the easiest to find, but a few online retailers still sell it.  I liked this scent because it still smelled musky but it was lighter. I still have the rollerball bottle of this scent. I like to bring it with me when I travel. It’s nice to freshen up while traveling and this bottle makes it travel-friendly and convenient.

Here are the main notes in this scent: white floral, floral, patchouli, powdery, musky, warm spicy.

 Dolce & Gabbana Rosa Excelsa -  Again, I was on the hunt for a “signature” perfume and I ended up at Sephora.  I went through their wall of perfume and found this one by Dolce and Gabbana.  It even comes in the prettiest bottle with a rose flowered lid.  I looked this perfume up elsewhere and I ended up purchasing it on Last Call by Neiman Marcus for more than half off of the regular price.

Here are the featured notes in this perfume: Neroli leaves, Papaya, White Water Lily, White Daffodil, African Dog Rose heart, pink-flowered Turkish Rose Absolute, Musky, Cashmeran and Sandalwood.

 Ouai Mercer Street – OMG!  I am so happy that Jen Atkin and Ouai Haircare decided to make perfumes.  Ever since I started using their shampoo and conditioners, I was hoping that this would happen.  The one I chose is Mercer Street because I love the scent of their shampoos and conditioners.  It’s actually the only one left in-stock on their website.  When they do a re-stock, I plan on trying out either North Bondi, which is scented like their famous wave spray.

Here are the featured notes in this perfume: Top Notes - Orange, Peony, Itlian Lemon, Iris, and Lily - Middle Notes - Magnolia, Jasmine Sambac, and Turkish Rose - Base Notes - White Musk and Orris.

 Ouai Melrose Place - When Sephora did a re-stock of the Ouai Perfumes, I was able to get Melrose Place. This fragrance is the same scent as their Scalp and Body Scrub. It smells awesome! Something that’s really cool about the Ouai Fragrances is that the bottle itself is magnetic. I figured this out by accident and I just think that it’s cool that this company puts so much thought into their products.

Here are the featured notes in this perfume: Top Notes - Champagne, Pink Peppercorn, Berry, and Lychee - Middle Notes - Peony, Rose, Freesia, Jasmine, and Bergamot - Base Notes Amber, Sandalwood, White Musk, and Cedar-wood.

My next perfume to try….Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford.  Fingers crossed that I like this one.  "Fucking Fabulous is a decadent, oriental leather with an intoxicating grip. It evokes the private exchanges where fantasies come true. It’s undeniably the most straightforward name for such a beautiful scent."—Tom Ford

Here are the featured notes in this perfume: Fresh lavender, Bitter Almond , Vanilla , Orris Root, Irris Flower, Leather

That completes my list of my personal favorites in the Musky Scent Family.

There’s just something about musky perfumes that I just love.  They say that everyone’s body reacts differently to perfumes. It’s just in our each unique chemical makeup. So whether or not I end up finding a ‘”signature” scent, I will most likely be sticking to the musky and/or spicy scent family.

xo, Annie
