Kiehl's Original Musk – Perverted Review
The perverted review you didn't ask for, but here it is. I feel the need to share it, so please don't judge me 🙈.
Well, I must confess my addiction – Norman Reedus, obviously, and my obsession with perfumery.
What if we combine these two? Bingo! Buying Kiehl's Original Musk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The buying experience was amusing. Initially intended as a gift for my now ex-boyfriend (thankfully, I didn't go through with that). It was a challenge to find, as the brand had left our market. Eventually, I found it on a local eBay-like platform. Post-breakup, I decided to treat myself to the perfume. And this particular bottle became so special to me – a reminder to be kind to myself even in the darkest times.
The day arrived when the parcel with the perfume came. Excitement made my hands shake. I tried it on my skin, and… disappointment ensued. Norman, are you serious? I usually appreciate unique scents, but this was awful initially. It felt like I walked into an elderly lady's apartment, shared with several cats. I was frustrated. Despite being expensive, it failed to bring the satisfaction I sought. Attempts to wash it were a failure; I had to wait for it to fade.
After a few hours, a miracle occurred. I caught a whiff and exclaimed, "WHOA!" The animalic sillage not only hit my nose but captivated my brain. It was enticing, haunting, almost poisonous – impossible to ignore that it made me feel dizzy. I found myself sniffing my wrist for good ten minutes straight. No doubt, this man is a walking sex, and the thought of him wearing it did strange things to me. But I was still upset as it was too masculine for me, although it's claimed as unisex. Not if I bother about this much, I don't care if a perfume is unisex or pour homme/femme, but something told me that's not my cup of tea. I put it aside as a souvenir.
However, my perspective changed when I decided to give it a chance wearing it for a walk on a frosty day. That decision turned out to be a game-changer. The scent resonated with my brain cells, sending shivers of satisfaction down my spine. Imagine your beloved kissing your sweet spot for the first time – that's what the scent did to me every time it hit my nose. Changing my clothes later revealed another surprise – the scent had transferred, lasting the entire day. Unbelievable longevity.
The scent is ambiguous – warming, soothing, yet potentially abusive, intimate, and seductive. I'm no perfumery expert; I choose scents based on whether I like them, mostly disregarding the pyramid. I can't pinpoint the claimed notes of orange blossom, bergamot, etc.
It's akin to waking up in crisp sheets, your beloved offering breakfast in bed. Your attention focuses on the honey bowl on the tray. Still half-asleep, you make clumsy movements to taste the honey, leaving it on the corner of your mouth, threatening to fall. Then your love licks it off, leading to a passionate make-out session and then sex. I perfectly sense washed bedsheets, honey, and some sweaty/animalic notes, which surprisingly don't repulse.
In conclusion, I'll undoubtedly purchase it again. Like any perfume, it's not for everyone, as tastes vary. If you're intrigued, find a shop with a tester and try it on your wrist. Perhaps it's what you're looking for ☺️.

Splashed out for a slightly bougie couple of spices. Partly for cooking but mostly for experimenting with the tiny crockpot my mom found for me, to make scented oils for perfumery.
Fancy Cardamom really is one of those things where like $2 extra gets you something amazing.

Whelp, there she is! The new oil I want to experiment with! And my new box of little 10ml experimentation bottles came in today, too. So I got to re-bottle the two perfumes I was experimenting with, and make a smaller, more usable bottle of the Heart's Heal Oil I just finished (on the left).

I also rebottled some of my Purifying and Uplifting Spirit Oil as well, so I wasn't having to use the big jar every time. And now my little ritual corner is starting to get slightly crowded with all my daily oils at this point- even with most of them being in smaller bottles now, ha ... I may just move the perfumes to the Ancestor Shrine now that they're in the appropriate bottles.

Anointing yourself with the crown jewel of perfumery is a sacred act of adornment, as is getting “changed” into lingerie. Both offer the guarantee of embodying audacious femininity from head to toe. - Head of Matriarch💕

Wearing non-age appropriate fragrances is the most chic thing to me. Like people should wear fragrances as far out of the appropriate age range as possible.
An 86 year old woman with a powdery lavender bouffant, peeling floral wallpaper and taxidermied cats wearing Viva la Juicy???
A twenty-something bar hopping, pairing her slutty leather corset-top and raggedy thrift store fur with Chanel n5 ??? hello?

The first recorded perfumer is a woman named Tapputi who lived in Mesopotamia in the second century BC. A cuneiform tablet records that Tapputi made scented oils from flowers, calamus and aromatic spices.

Starting my perfumery journey
Ok, so I've been doing a lot of research and although I am generally very negative about having to learn anything via video, YouTube seems to be the spot for learning DIY perfumery.
My basic planned process is basically this.
And my first planned project is a nongendered scent, for me, that doesn't feature:
Patchouli
Bergamont
Musk
Rose
Which, if you have tried to buy scent in recent years, you will recognize that that list is why I have to make something myself because holy ass perfumery is obsessed with those things right now.
I actually already made myself one perfume that I love, out of the extraordinarily simple process of dumping a bunch of The Good Earth original herbal tea blend into a small bottle of high quality vodka for several months.
It smells AMAZING. Unfortunately one of my close friends is violently allergic to cinnamon, and it's got a good bit of cinnamon in it.
The first task will be to create a lovely deep blend to use as a unified base note. Scents under consideration include:
black coffee
dark chocolate
oakmoss
vetiver
dark honey
Cypress
Tonka bean
And, if I can find a ozonic note that feels deep instead of sharp, I'll be looking at that, as well. I mean, if you're called Brontide, you have to, right? Who doesn't want to smell at least a little bit like a storm about to break?
So, that's the plan. Feedback and thoughts welcome. If you want to jump in on perfumery as well please let me know, cause I want to find other people doing this.
