Pulling up my review of Blood Popsicle reminded me of a post I made on Tumblr last year. So here: my thoughts on the scents of colors of velvet.
- Black velvet: An inky sharpness over the scent of dusty, antique books. There’s a hint of beeswax and a winter sky at night in there, too.
- Red velvet: The tartness of raspberries, the golden glow of amber, and honey mixed with salt. The darker the red, the stronger the honey.
- Purple velvet: Gunpowder tea, sweetened with vanilla sugar, being sipped in a secluded garden.
- Green velvet: A warm summer night, full of night-blooming flowers, and the scent of crushed moss.
- Blue velvet: Blackberries and creme brulee, served on a tarnished silver platter.
