We made Edward soap last night. Yes, The Edward. If you don't know who Edward is, well, I just don't know what to say to you. Obviously you don't live in a house where someone has stayed up all night to finish a book about beautiful vampires being chased by wolf people.
I do live in such a house. And so, we made Edward. We got the scent from the same place we get most of our scents and oils. It's almost two hours away, but worth the drive for the savings – and the Edward.
So, what, you might be asking, does Edward smell like anyway? Well, we are told he smells of honey, lilacs and sunshine. The fragrance itself is described as fresh, clean, and sexy with a bit of vanilla, heliotrope, dry wood, and grapefruit.
To me, the Edward fragrance smells like you are holding a bottle of cologne in your hand while standing in a large, overgrown meadow of wild flowers – the two smells harmonizing perfectly, convincingly. Also, the color yellow bursts into my mind as I sniff. Strange. Interesting.
It really is a refreshingly, and surprisingly convincing scent. I've never read the books, but have been subjected to enough of the story and movies to have an idea of what the guy – I mean vampire is like. I was blown away by the smell coming out of the bottle, because it seemed so accurate, so right, so . . . so . . . beautiful and sparkly.
Okay, maybe not sparkly.
So, while Edward cures in the oven, we are planning our scent for today. Most likely it will be Jacob. Or possibly Bella. I think we might also have some Alice in our future.
