BPAL Character Scents: Arcadia and Gothick.


Barrett, Elizabeth: Lyonesse.
Golden vanilla and gilded musk, stargazer lily, white sandalwood, grey amber, elemi, orris root, ambergris and sea moss.

Bronte, Anne: Glasgow.
The rich scent of wild blackberry breezing over gentle rosy heather.

Bronte, Charlotte: Garden Path With Chickens.
Damp grass, ivy leaves, morning glory, daisy, rose geranium, heliotrope, white gardenia, climbing roses, peppery nasturtium, phlox, begonia, verbena and sun-warmed herbs.

Chaucer, Gen: Mabon.
The Autumnal Equinox. The Second Harvest of the witches: a celebration of rest after labor, and repose after the rigors of Initiation. This is the mark of the completion of the Harvest and giving thanks for the previous season's abundance. In ceremonial magick, this is a time to begin the search for one's Higher Self anew, to celebrate rebirth and new life, and to revitalize the spirit. It is an Osirian time, contractive and catabolic. At this time, the Eleusinian mysteries were observed, celebrating the drama of Kore and Demeter. Blackberry wine and apple cider with hops, apple blossom, English ivy, hazel, sage, oak bark and myrrh.

Dickinson, Elise: A Farewell to False Love.
Pale lavender, sweet violet, balsam of Peru, and paperwhite narcissus.

Dinesen-Dickens, Kate: The Lion.
The dry, glorious warmth of the Savannah. A golden, spiced amber, proud, regal and ferocious.

Frankenstein, Vita: Blood Kiss.
Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.

Godwin, Mary: Ivanushka.
Soft, velvety fur and warm musk, brushed by forest woods and dusted by dry leaves.

Jekyll, Emma: The Apothecary.
Tea leaf with three mosses, green grass, a medley of herbal notes, and a drop of ginger and fig.

Lamb, Nina: Cordelia.
The essence of faith, love and devotion: lilac, lemon, green tea, wisteria, osmanthus, white cedar, and Chinese musk.

Miller, Clarissa: Magdalene.
A stirring yet gentle perfume. The scent of love and devotion mingled with an undercurrent of heart-rending sorrow. A bouquet of white roses, labdanum, and wild orchid.

Montgomery, Lucy: Poisoned Apple.
A perfect, lovely, gleaming red apple whose sweetness masks a swirl of narcotic opium, oleander, and hemlock.

Murray, Mina: Wilhelmina Murray.
Tea rose, white sandalwood and a flurry of pale, virginal blossoms, smeared with a smoky, blood-soiled blend of myrrh, hyacinth, Daemonorops resin, dark musk and blackcurrant.

Newbold-Jones, Evie: Manhattan.
Sexuality, power, confidence. A meeting of modern, sleek elegance and rich, passionate history: sheer amber, black leather, white mint, lemon peel, white tea, grapefruit, kush, teakwood and orchid.

Nin, Anais: Bastet.
Bast, Ubasti, Ailuros, Ba-en-Aset. Represented as both a domestic cat and a fierce lioness, she truly evidences traits of both. She is the Mother of All Cats, Goddess of Sensuality, Fertility, and a guardian and protector of women. She is also one of the Eyes of Ra, and in that aspect is an Avenging Goddess, seeking retribution and punishing enemies of her people. Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus.

Rossetti, Christina: Defututa.
Olive blossom, honey, smoky vanilla, cinnamon, jasmine, sandalwood, and champaca flower.

Salome, Lou: Wensleydale.
An immaculately clean scent: well-scrubbed soapy skin and fresh cotton.

Trevor, Sadie: Fruit Moon.
The bountiful, bright and vivacious prelude to the Harvest. A horde of wet, ripe fruits: green apple, apricot, blackberry, black cherry, black and red currants, cantaloupe, English pear, guava, lemon and lime, orange, mandarin orange, kiwi and mango, passion fruit, papaya, Georgia peach, raspberry, plum, tangerine, pomegranate and strawberry over a luminous blend of lunar oils.

Westenra, Lena: Lucy Westenra.
A wanton beauty, corrupt, hypnotic, seductive, and feral: magnolia, iris, Moroccan rose, frankincense, crushed jasmine blossom, blood orange, tobacco flower and white musk.
