Crimson Peak... as a set of perfumes?

[igenlode]

Well, perfumery is one expression of fandom I haven't come across before :-D

I was actually looking for an illustration of Alan's appalling out-of-period haircut, and was very much amused to come upon this: Dr Alan McMichael. As a comparison to Thomas, in terms of the vibe of both scents, Alan is definitely more down-to-earth and rugged smelling, this smells like a guy you're comfortable with, as opposed to the aristocratic, elegant aloofness of Thomas. All the same, this still has quite a Victorian vibe to it, particularly in the drydown, I can definitely picture a cigars-and-leather-sofas gentlemen's club!
:-D

It's a surprisingly well established thing in the world of indie perfumes! Besides famous BPAL, I believe Seanan McGuire officially... worked with? gave her blessing to? Conjure Oils to make a line of October Daye themed ones, and I know ZOMG Smells has at least two media-themed lines, including one for Girl Genius, etc. etc. Something about the intersection of geekiness and craftiness, I guess!

Well, going by the comments they managed to hit off the characters fairly accurately... (My knowledge of scents is largely limited to walking past Lush shops!)
