“Do you realise… I would have gone through life half-awake… if you’d had the decency to leave me alone?” // “I feel really awake. I don’t recall ever feeling this awake. You know? Everything looks different now.”
Inspired by the Scentbird X DBH collab and how wrong they got it (excet for Helen's). I bring my own version of perfumes inspired by the Death Becomes Her women.
Explanation under the cut!
Viola Van Horn. Top notes for her would be incense and saffron, I imagine some florals that are strong but not overpowering, spices, cedar. Mystical, ethereal, regal, larger than life. Pictured but with no name Dragon by Boadicea. She would not be citrus, fruit, or fresh scented. It might seem like she's one note, but there's laaaayers to her
Pre-Potion Mad. She wants to smell like a classic Hollywood star, at the same time, she wants to be sweet and irresistible. Her perfume taste is built on what she wanted to buy at the mall growing up, brands that once seemed unattainable.
Pre-Potion Hel: taught to never call attention on herself, her scents are clean, subtle, blend with her natural skin scent. She looks down on anyone who takes over a room via their scent. On special occasions, she wears rose scents or amber. She wants to smell comforting. I think it's hard to read some of these: clean reserve rain scent and poesie's myself invisible. i think she would definitely have a phase of trying all perfumes that claim to smell like an old book
Post-potion Helen: a flower has bloomed. Aside from no longer being afraid to take up space, the sweetness and soft notes of the perfume mirror those of a young Madeline. She is embodying her, learning from her to seduce and be the object of desire.
Bobeline Ashton, a two time Oscar nominee past her prime. She might have last worked 10 years ago, but nothing will stop her from smelling like cookies and the top of a baby's head. She doesn't realize that some milk scents can curdle or read as powdery, aging her prematurely. She 100% bought cry baby by melanie martinez and cried when it got discontinued. A Whiff of Wafflecone is the perfume with no name by Imaginary Authors. I also see Bobeline reaching for fruit scents that are less citrusy and more mature, like English Pear
Alive Forever Helen (post-canon): years after the events, when she has settled. She’s more relaxed and doesn’t need to put on a “sexy” scent to be confident. She wants comforting scents, drawing inspiration from her past perfumes but adding more amber and some cashmere notes.
Alive Forever Madeline (post-canon), she turns more floral for she is afraid her undead carries a scent (it doesn't), she learns the sweet notes are some of Hel's favorite. She loves indulging in long sampling sessions of perfume. And of course both Mad and Hel have matching mirror perfumes! The hard to read are Git by Elorea, and Delina by Parfums de Marly. I also wanted to add Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder. Anyway I love scent profiling! happy to answer any questions!
Ernest's, for curious minds, main notes would be vetiver, patchouli, anise and obvs bourbon! maybe some cinnamon for the fall/winter months.
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
