My Good Omens scents arrived today (best hubby EVAR), and ... okay, I put on Crowley first because I'm weak like that.

From the BPAL forums:

Nothing about him looked particularly demonic, at least by classical standards. No horns, no wings. Admittedly he was listening to a Best of Queen tape, but no conclusions should be drawn from this because all tapes left in a car for more than a fortnights metamorphose into Best of Queen albums. No particularly demonic thoughts were going through his head. In fact, he was wondering vaguely who Moey and Chandon were.

Crowley had dark hair, and good cheekbones, and he was wearing snakeskin shoes, or at least presumably he was wearing shoes, and he could do really weird things with his tongue. And, whenever he forgot himself, he had a tendency to hiss.

Infernal musk, red patchouli, lilac cologne, mahogany, lemon rind, oakmoss, leather, and vanilla husk.

In the bottle, the lilac and patchouli came through most strongly for me, and even though I liked Aziraphale better at first sniff, Crowley went on first because... Crowley. 

When I first put it on, the vanilla came through a little more strongly, but as it warmed to my skin, the musk and mahogany and the leather (omg the leather) are the strongest notes.  If I close my eyes and inhale, I can pick out the lemon and the vanilla, but only just.  The lilac fades and I can't really make out any mossy scent at all.

It smells sexy and indulgent, and words cannot express how much I love this scent.  Best. Husband. Ever.

I'll review Aziraphale tomorrow, if I don't wear Crowley again.


Also saw HP today.  Um.  Given the other movies, I kind of went in with rather low expectations.  I actually had no problems with it, probably because I did not get around to re-reading OotP like I'd planned.  It's exactly what I expected from an HP movie -- a decent plot, spiffy effects, and key details either glossed over or left out completely.  Frankly I was more outraged by the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice movie.
