Indie line Smell Bent has launched The Snowman Cometh, a new collection of limited edition fragrances:
Dead of Winter ~ "the fragrant apocalypse is upon us! anise liquor, vanilla, heliotrope, cedar and zombie musk."
HO x 3 ~ "being nice is overrated! jasmine and rose skanked up with cumin, patchouli, sandalwood and spicy musk."
Pere Noël Coward ~ "the dandy daddy has returned! sweet immortelle, atlas cedar, jasmine, fir balsam and pinon sap."
Snobirds ~ "orange flower, aged amber, sweet resins and dark patchouli spiced with cardamom and golden ginger. winter somewhere warm."
Hänsel & Dreidel~ "over the river and through the woods ...wheat absolute with honey, baking spices, sandalwood, hiba and musk."
Smell Bent The Snowman Cometh fragrances are available in 8 ml Perfume Oil, 4 or 50 ml Eau de Toilette. They can be purchased at the Smell Bent website. (via newsletter from Smell Bent)
I’m just amused by the name of this collection.
And I think I need a bottle of Dead of Winter. Zombie musk, you say? That actually makes me kind of gaggy but I still think I need a bottle.
As usual, great names & descriptions. Dead of Winter is tempting.
I wanna try Hansel and Dreidel the most, another blog said it was the love child of Lann-Ael and Like This.
Interesting!
He is too fast for me! I just finally got the Pacific Northwest collection!
I think I’ll have to send for this sample pack – sometimes his holiday offerings are a bit too baked-goods for me, but these sound more up my alley. Some of my favorite perfumes are Smell Bents – you have to wade through a lot of scents but he has some that are astonishingly good. I have an equal number of Smell Bent and Guerlain perfumes. Of course, Smell Bent is a tad easier on the wallet to collect….
I’m still working my way through that collection too. They’ve all failed to grip me though, even the Lumberjack Werewolf this time, but oh, well…tastes change. I’ll probably order a sample pack of these and the latest Frankensmellie on payday, though, and (maybe) a bottle of the NbyNW Frankensmellie, if bills allow.
Which Smell Bents do you like the best? I’m mildly obsessed with Brussels Sprouted, and just received my North by Northwest samples last week although I haven’t played with them yet because my skin is acting up from the fall weather. I agree with you about baked goods scents–if it’s not a scented eraser or an ancient scratch-and-sniff sticker, it’s entirely unacceptable for it to smell like food. And even then, it has to be funny to be okay.
I own Sunshine, Mots Verts, Tibet ur Bottom $, Prairie Nymph, Incensed, The Bi-Polar Express, Felix Navidad, Monaco Dependent, and Bollywood or Bust (some oils, some sprays). I want Chastity Begins at Home, a couple of the Re-Mix Project ones, and Disagreeable Object.
Oh, those are all so nice! Mots Verts simultaneously fascinated and weirded me out. What do you think of the Pacific Northwest collection? Otter Luvr is my favorite so far; all spice and soft musks.
