The Temptation

An expression of love, adoration, and desire, of beauty that transcends mortal desire and piques the interest of hell itself: attar of rose, calla lily, palmarosa, peach blossom, wisteria, rice flower, and black musk.

This is ok. It’s very rose-y and sweet and floaty. It’s the random imp I pulled out of my imp box to keep on my desk at work so I’ve been using it every so often but it’s not one of the ones that would grab me and go “WEAR ME”.

But it’s y’know. Tolerable.

L’Estate

Nepalese amber, vanilla infused amber, golden musk, sandalwood, golden lily, sunflower, and honey myrtle.

I loooooove this scent. It’s warm and golden and round and lazy like summer should be. With major emphasis on the warm and golden. Though the colour it smells like should come as no surprse considering the notes that are in it.

It’s like…an evening’s sunlight in a bottle.

Libertine

Like a puffed and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads.

Rosewood and chamomile with bergamot, violet, red sandalwood, primrose and Arabian musk.

I get mostly roses from this. And possibly a tiny bit of chamomile, but mostly roses for some reason.

Not a fan of roses.

  • …if Robin had listened to them? Ok, Will Scarlett would be dead. And little Luke Scarlett. And Allan A Dale. But still! 00:00:41, 2011-10-29
  • I realise though, you kind of have to set Robin up as an outlaw right at the beginning and this is as good a way as any. 00:01:40, 2011-10-29
  • And this way Will, Luke and Allan don’t die! This is also making me wonder about surnames in 12th century. 00:02:24, 2011-10-29
  • This priest dude is kind of rubbish at not looking shifty. 00:04:04, 2011-10-29
  • What’s this slowtime, flashback thing? What’s the point? Really? Is this to show Robin thinking? HE DOESN’T THINK, HE ACTS 00:05:06, 2011-10-29
  • I wonder why Guy isn’t helping to fight Robin. The mulch joke is kind of funny though. 00:05:46, 2011-10-29
  • Marian is a total badass. Not sure how no one notices how her hairpin is sticking out of some guard. 00:06:22, 2011-10-29
  • Although this does kind of serves Guy’s purpose – Robin being an outlaw, running off etc. 00:07:16, 2011-10-29
  • Will Scarlett’s first words “I’m just getting some kindling.” Also, I’ve watched too much American TV. Forgot eps were an hour long. 00:08:03, 2011-10-29
  • Oh wait. They’re not. I was just expecting more from the outlaws holding up the newly minted outlaws before the stirring credit sequence. 00:09:00, 2011-10-29
  • All in all, a pretty good first episode. Although kind of a shame that it turned me against Robin as a character for the entire series. 00:09:34, 2011-10-29
