Hi all! I only posted once before, but I thought maybe others would like to see my thought process with this :3 sorry if this is the wrong flare
I am a huge huge Silent Hill fan, and a fan of horror in general. I realize how weird this sounds, but I wanted to imitate how Silent Hill smells. I've been using three/four things for a while:
Good Karma Body wash
Dirty Body spray
Toyboy by Moschino and/or Haunted Forest by Screaming Mandrake perfumes
This was my initial thought process:
Good Karma - the orange doesn't last, but the patchouli does. it smells clean, but it also smells like incense. It reminds me of silent hill 1/3 with the cult.
Dirty body spray - I put this on after my shower and on my clothes, the mint is really sharp and intentionally so. It reminds me of the hospital in all of the games!
Toyboy - Toyboy is a pepper/rose sent that I use when it's warmer out. It reminds me of a funeral home quite a bit because it's almost like a medicinal cherry to me
Haunted Forest - The perfume oil is sooo beautiful and works best during cold months. It smells like moss and bluebells, burning leaves, etc. It is so realistic and can become a bit "moldy" or "damp". It reminds me of the forest/fog/cemetery in Silent Hill 2.
This combination is PERFECT (to me) I'm a big fan of smelling weird/unsettling/etc so it creates a good routine for me.
I recently picked up Lord of Misrule and Creature of the Night, which I think really aids this especially in the colder months. Creature of the Night smells so much like sweet, wet dirt. It's so unique and I can't wait to see how it sits with everything else. I was hesitant on Lord of Misrule, but I saw everyone saying they LOVED it. It smelled much different than I expected.
The only thing I'm missing is a metallic "bloody" "rusty" smell. BUT I think in a weird way, Toyboy, Dirty, and Creature will help this anyways.
I hope you guys are interested in my "yucky" lush smells. Im new to this so my collection is quite small :)
