Holy crap, I'm in trouble.

So, [livejournal.com profile] rubymulligan, my perfume oil obsessed best has turned her perfectionistic tendencies, bionic nose and quirky humor to creating her own line of perfume oils based on things from her childhood. They're all small-batch releases right now on Etsy at The Misery Love Co.

She's created a line of scents, for example, based on The Princess Bride. Ha! Two are available in this first update, BUTTERCUP and VIZZINI.

BUTTERCUP
A golden, sweet blend of honey, vanilla, chamomile, apricot, daffodil, honeysuckle, cream and sugar.

VIZZINI
Inconceivable! A very fine wine indeed, most definitely stolen, laced with odorless, tasteless, deadly iocane powder. Or is it? Let the battle of wits commence!

And I think, I'm in trouble because I love that movie. But! But! Her other lines that are out right now are just as troublingly appealing. The Last Unicorn. The Secret Garden. The Neverending Story. (Okay, so I never saw that last one, though the scents sounded awesome, too.)

Holy crap, I'm in trouble. Rhiannon's perfumes are legend in swap circles. (She made Sarah, for a Star Wars swap, a one-of-a-kind ENDOR blend.) We're always like "Why didn't you make more? Why didn't you write down your recipe?! This is incredible! What is wrong with you??!" She's shy and totally fails at self-promotion and it has taken years for her to embark on what should be a "You're a genius!" no-brainer. Ha.

Her advertisement for the grand launch of her shop reads a bit like the new kid at school sitting alone at a lunch table.

You could, you know, go check out her shop if you wanted to. But you don't have to. But you could. ;) It's Misery/Love, just like childhood.

I sorta want one of everything and I'm *dying* to find out, in future updates, what the Dread Pirate Roberts smells like or if she ever takes on She-Ra. *fires up her PayPal* :D :D

I think I have to have The Secret Garden's MARTHA and The Princess Bride's BUTTERCUP to start and maybe sample sizes of some others. What about you? :)
