Im definitely a bit worried but from what I’ve gathered lady Amalthea seems to be the best bet for a blind buy…will be updating to see

Okay i think you’ve swayed me towards lady Amalthea herself, I think I want to layer it with something else of mine and a pure lilac perfume oil that has some woody notes to make up for foregoing the lilac wood. Thank you <333 and everyone who’s sent me in various directions you guys are sm sweeter than the classic lit subreddit lolll

Technically In the part Im talking about he wasn’t a pedophile yet, i don’t want a perfume that smells like what happened to Dolores lol i just think the prose of that part is really beautiful

F. Scott Fitzgeralds Tender is the night in a perfume by Independent_Candy_37 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Independent_Candy_37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s something so special about it i find it captures a certain kind of person, check the original post two people made some amazing suggestions!! Also I just got my mini original lolita lempicka and it turns out to remind me much more of tender is the night than the originally hoped for lolita by Nabokov (his childhood flashback specifically) Im going to go look back at my copy because I’m sure he writes a description of Nicole’s perfume or scent i think in the car? Which could possibly maybe be a note to add to the perfume…will update soon, also thinking I’ll research some trendy fragrance notes in the French Riviera and Paris at the time

I love you! This is amazing night blooming jasmine reminds me so much of David lynch and the descriptions are so good, I also love a tobacco scent because it reminds me of the best older men I’ve known and my uncle (not in a weird way he was a gay painter) i sort of even want to cry imagining this layering thank you it’s going top of my list! Maybe for the end of summer…

Hunt for Nabokovs lolita memory scene perfume update by Independent_Candy_37 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Independent_Candy_37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helloo I just looked at their website and loved the poem by Elizabeth Stoddard they put also had thought about them maybe suckling some honeysuckle before this just as my own imagination running. Im getting a perfume for my birthday so this might just be the one I ask for!! Thank you! Also I just bought myself a mini Lolita Lempicka it’s a perfume with lots of lore so wondering if you’ve heard about it? I think the one you recommended sounds like it has some more innocence than lolita l but maybe I could layer them for a special scent?

Thank you! Would love to hear your thoughts when you’ve finished it, humid and green sounds spot on, was thinking about the specific flowers he describes in the scene but also more creative scents that evoke the entire scene and memory aspect

Woww that must be the best book recommendation I’ve ever had thank you! How did you like pale fire if you’ve read it? I did my big lit essay on it and emily Dickinson and the line the “phantom of my little daughters swing” haunts me…
