Sacred Scarab by Zoologist 🏜️

Waiting in your den for the desert sun to sink below the horizon

Notes: civet*, myrrh and juniper

Blackmail by Kerosene 🔥

Soaring over a forest scarred by wildfire

Notes: smoke, sandalwood, oud

Dryad by Papilllon 🏕️

Traveling with your pack across the alpine tundra

Notes: thyme, narcissus and oakmoss

*synthetic

More detailed descriptions below:

Sacred Scarab

Top notes: aldehydes, lemon, civet

Middle notes: Wine, plum, lotus flower

Base notes: myrrh, cedar, juniper, oak musk, amber, musk

Loud and complex - maybe not one for job interviews! It's perfect for hot days, and felt incredibly appropriate when I was working in the desert. It is an animalic perfume, so very apt if you're looking to tap into a nonhuman part of yourself

Blackmail

Notes: smoke, oud, berry fruits, vanilla, amber, sandalwood

A dark and moody fragrance. The smoke and woody notes are blended very well together and balanced perfectly. Personally, I think it would suit wintertime the best, but that's obviously up to you

Dryad

Top notes: clary sage, tarragon, thyme, citron, bitter orange, bergamot

Middle notes: narcissus, orange blossom, lavender, apricot

Base notes: oakmoss, vetiver, benzoin

A very convincing natural scent. Green and herbal, but not sweet at all. So complex and mature, it would be great to wear on special occasions.

Always buy samples before buying a whole bottle!

unironically my favorite thing about tiktok is how the algorithm will sometimes assign you a random niche interest like for a while. it's just like hey you're gonna be into beef tallow now. last year it gave me pointe shoes. yes as in for ballerinas. my current tiktok-assigned niche interest is the north sea.

For @skipper-the-selkie - fragrance recommendations for a selkie

Beach Walk by Maison Margiela 🏖️

Lounging on the soft sand in the midsummer heat

Notes of sweet coconut, soft floral and musk

Bois Flotté by L'Ocittane en Provence 🌊

Walking along a cobblestone beach as waves crash upon the shore

Notes of sea salt, rosemary and driftwood

Violaceum 2 by L'Artisan Parfumeur 🥀

Changing forms in the light of the moon

Notes of violet, iris and earthy accords

Longer descriptions under the cut ✨

Beach walk

Top notes: bergamot, lemon, pink pepper

Middle notes: ylang ylang, coconut, heliotrope

Base notes: musk, benzoin, cedar

A really, really nice scent. Incredibly reminiscent of a summer's day on the beach. The coconut note is reminiscent of suncream, but isn't unpleasant. Very clean, soft and soothing.

Bois Flotté

Top notes: red algae, seagrass, rosemary, green leaves

Middle notes: sea salt, driftwood, nutmeg

Base notes: cedar, moss, vetiver

An absolute favourite of mine, a very convincing aquatic sent without smelling fishy or like cleaning chemicals. It's long-lasting and a reasonably affordable fragrance. It would be considered "traditionally masculine" but obviously anybody should wear whatever they like. A good choice if you want to remember the ocean despite physical distance from it

Violaceum 2

Notes: violet, saffron, iris (hard to tell as the perfumer's have never published the notes of this perfume, it definitely is earthy though)

A complex, classy scent. Starts off very fresh and floral but dries down to an earthier scent. To me, it's dark and moody, like a witch or sorceress. I think it would capture the magical/mythical elements of being a selkie despite a lack of aquatic notes

Always look for samples before buying a full bottle of anything!

hey, just a psa to all oceankin out there:

lost and discarded fishing gear is the deadliest form of marine plastic

75% of the pacific garbage patch is from the fishing industry

to heal our oceans and preserve it for years to come, please consider reducing or cutting out seafood from your diet!

(i'm not targeting op at all - just something other oceankin folk should think about!)

can i have advice for mermaidkin :3 thank youuuuuuu

advice for a mermaid kin!

wear long skirts that remind you of your tail

spend lots of time in and around water

sing!! mermaids are known for singing, and you dont have to be good at it

wear accessories with seashells, scales, fishnets, and coins on them. these have always felt reminiscent of mermaids to me

listen to ocean noises, whale calls, and maybe even sea shanties

you can draw scales on your skin in marker, pen, or glitter pen, and marking color between your fingers looks like you have webbed hands! (first hand experience as a dragon)

eat seaweed, seafood, and things that remind you of what you ate in the ocean

hope this helps!

Would anyone be interested in me giving perfume/fragrance recommendations to people that match their otherkin/therian/alterhuman identities? 🤔

Fragrances have been my special interest for months now and I'd love to share it with this community!

This isn't at anyone in particular, but it's very disheartening to see that the otherhearted AND otherkith tags are full of.... Posts that are almost completely unrelated to those experiences. Otherlink tags are much the same.

A few in there are geared toward all alterhumans in general, that's fine, but... Posts specifically only about therians, otherkin or fully nonhuman identities without so much as a mention of heartedness don't belong in the otherhearted tags. Therian/otherkin specific posts don't belong in the otherlinking tags either. It's so hard to find anything related to being otherhearted or otherlinking because it's almost all content that only explicitly relates to therians or otherkin. It really looks like they sometimes just slap the smaller tags on there for reach.

It doesn't get your therian posts reach though, because as far as I'm aware, hearted people and otherlinkers follow the tags for posts relating to those specific experiences. Sure, people can be more than one thing and there are definitely therians and otherkin following those tags, that's fine, but it's not why those people follow them. Flooding the hearted and otherlink tags with otherkin posts really only makes it impossible to see anything from other individuals who are otherhearted or otherlinkers. The people who want to see your posts will be following the otherkin or therian tags.

You don't need to tag in different community tags for reach, this is tumblr where tags do actually matter because they're the primary way of finding posts. There's no algorithm at all if you don't use the "for you" page. And when you're putting therian and otherkin only posts in tags that are for much, much smaller communities like otherhearted people and otherlinkers.... It becomes impossible to keep those communities present here.

I don't know if there's separate tags that otherhearted people and otherlinkers use that aren't flodded with otherkin-only posts but if there is I haven't been able to find it because the only post we can even find recently in the hearted tags thats actually about heartedness is one we made today.

We've went on about how the term "alterhuman" isn't just for otherkin content before. We're sad the tag for it has less variety than the community really encompasses. Yes, otherkin are alterhuman and have the right to post there--no one is saying they don't--but a lot of the times people post "alterhumanity is about being an animal and no one knows" or something when it's definitely not always the case. Alterhuman isn't the same as nonhuman. I want to see more diversity and acknowledgement that there can be other alterhuman identities aside from identifying as an animal. As an umbrella term, alterhuman encompasses a lot more than nonhumanity and I don't like that even the hearted tags are covered in unrelated material.

I really think that non-kin and human+ or just plainly still human identities that fall under the alterhuman umbrella need to be acknowledged and respected enough to not be flodded out of their own tags.

#i have 100% done this in the past 🙏🙏

[stormyseanymph]

i feel hearthomes are a really neglected part of nonhuman identity. its a shame.

the hearthome tag is almost entirely flags. i have no ill will against anyone making those flags. but i do wish folks talked about their hearthomes. it appears like the majority of non/alterhumans have a sense of another place they belong (hearthome or not). so the derth of posts isnt because hearthomes are uncommon, its something external.

you are an ocean wave, my love, crashing at the bows…

Hello darlings <3

My name is River. This is an otherkin blog, but im relatively new to the otherkin community. I’ve considered myself something like “otherkin” for a very long time but never had a word for it. Only recently did I begin to pick up the name for it and decided to join into the community.

I identify whole heartedly as a naiad/oceanid, not just kin. Technically the more accurate term is oceanid as I mainly associate myself with bodies of salt water, but the term naiad feels more euphoric and therefore I identify with naiad.

I heavily connect with Cetaceans and sharks, specifically whale sharks, but also with all aquatic/ marine animals. I love nature documentaries, specifically ocean-centric (Blue Planet II, Chasing Coral, Mission Blue, etc…) but also any nature docs. I LOVE anything narrated by David Attenborough.

Feel free to send me anything ocean related, or to ask about how I identify with the ocean. I have a lot to say about merfolk (maladaptive daydreaming) so feel free to ask for my personal merfolk lore.

So long, and until next time, darlings…

#hello hello! #hope you have fun on our little corner of the internet :)
