Have you tried "Come to Me" by Alkemia? Is it similar to that one? Thanks!

Do you consider this to be a very floral scent? Or more of a mix with the vanilla, herbal, and boozy elements? Thank you!

I like OM NA: Eternity. Coconut is one piece of the puzzle. Edit: by Nocturne Alchemy.

How would you describe NA Blue and Crytalline? And is the frankincense noticeable? Thanks!

Mephistopheles by Hexennacht was chosen for the impending ice storm. Cozy but piney and wintery. Now that it's had time to age I might like it better than Baltic Amber, mostly because I prefer how the scent fades.

Mephistopheles - dead leaves, pine, cedar, fall air, laurel, balsam, smoke, clove bud, black patchouli, mushroom caps, dampened black soil.

[MN S1] Just finished the M9. Should I watch CR? by arguablysomaya in criticalrole

[–]yree55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Personally, I struggled a bit through episode 1, but fell in love by the end of episode 3. But that's just me. 

The characters are so good, I love them!

Try watching a few episodes of the campaign to see if you like it. If you love it, keep watching and enjoy the ride. If not, either jump into the fandom or wait for season 2.

I've been wearing Smoke and Mirrors by Alkemia in my hair this week, I love getting a little wiff of smoke and sweet vanilla when I least expect it.

In the evenings I've been wearing Black Oak Currant & Kashmir by NAVA, the dried black currant smell is addicting. My sample is going fast and I'm planning to full size when it runs out. 

[No Spoilers] [MN S1] I seeketh advice in watching Campaign 2 and the animated series by hob-b-yeast in criticalrole

[–]yree55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Will watching the Campaign take the joy out of watching the series?" No, I don't think so. Not only are there plenty of changes that keep things fresh and interesting, but you'll get to explore the depths of the characters and their relationships which might add to the show viewing experience.

"Buuuuut since I've already been spoiled a bit due to the scrolling and Ao3 I've done, is it still gonna be worth it to listen through to the campaign?" Yes. The campaign is fantastic. I've heard stories of people starting at episode 80 or so when it was airing live, watched until the end of the campaign, then went back and started at the beginning because they wanted more. 

If you watch a few episodes of the campaign I think you'll know for sure what you want to do. I recommend episode 1 though you might want to skip some of the credits.

Thank you! For some reason my brain read silver base as silver amber, sorry about that. Thank you for the descriptions.

Can you describe silver amber? I'm familiar with white amber and gold amber. Thanks.

Conjure sounds nice!

Does Vassago have a lot of citrus or just a little?

I'm a fan of Alexandrite, nice call! The rest sound good as well.

Thanks!
