TWST - fragrances!

Disclaimer: I have not personally smelled most of these perfumes; I chose them based on their notes. Just because a brand has been added it does not mean I support it or align with their values; I am focusing on the products on their own. The majority of these perfumes are quite expensive anyways - if you like any, I suggest directly looking for a dupe. I picked these with the characters' preferences in mind rather than trying to encapsulate their scent/vibe. My explanations are added to each one! Due to the photo limit, only the main cast are present. I will make a future post with others :) As usual, I ask you to not repost any of the photos/the post itself outside of Tumblr or within it. My main sources have been Fragrantica and Wikiparfum (some images used are from their website), along with the brands' sites. The notes are mainly sorted from top (the ones you smell first) to bottom (the ones that linger last), though I have been unable to verify some's placements, thus they are presented in what I assume would be their order. HEARTSLABYUL

Notes: pink pepper, blackcurrant sorbet, pink rose, peony, salty vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood I wanted Riddle's liking for sweets to be present, though not overwhelmingly, so opting for a floral scent was a better way to show it. I would have searched for an aldehyde-having perfume, but I feel like he already has that clean laundry smell from his clothes.

Notes: orange, elemi, star anise, lavandin, clary sage, petitgrain, fir balsam, cypress, pine needles I imagine Trey spends enough time surrounded by sweet gourmands to want something softer, though even if he hadn't been a baker, he still gives the vibe of enjoying herbals. I had also chosen Velvet Cypress, which matched beautifully with its greenness, but the scent profile wasn't my first bet... :(

Notes: jasmine (and sambac), ylang-ylang, watermelon, carambola, magnolia, blackcurrant, green mango My mind immediately went to fruity sweetness when it comes to Cater, though a toned down version with the involvement of florals. He'd want to match his bubbly image while not overwhelming his senses, right?

Notes: citrus, amber, cedarwood, tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood Now, the fact that one of the most popular perfumes matches what I had in mind for Ace is genuinely coincidental. I do see him buying this as a treat for himself though, regardless of it being trendy. While he is pretty masculine, there is a freshness still present that would reflect in his perfume - he still lacks the maturity and taste of a man.

Notes: Sicilian bergamot, mandarin, green apple, cashmere wood, cedarwood, petitgrain, violet, pomarose (not pictured), oakmoss, musk, amberwood (not pictured) In contrast to Ace, I picture Deuce to enjoy fresher and sweeter scents, which is how this perfume made the cut. He seems more open to wear less traditionally masculine fragrances. SAVANACLAW

Notes: rosemary, sage, black pepper, star anise, plum, birch tar, cumin, Bulgarian rose, myrrh, tobacco, suede accord, leather accord, honey, oud, praline, frankincense Leona is what Ace still lacks, though more wild and carefree in comparison to an older man. I definitely see him using perfumes with leathery smells rather than herbals or fruits, unless they're toned down; a big part of it is his sensitive nose of course. Under the roughness, there is a sweetness to be found.

Notes: salt, timur pepper, ginger, bergamot, black iris, saffron flower, violet leaf, blue cypress, suede, oud, mastic absolute, tobacco leaf Considering Leona's hand-me-downs to Ruggie, I feel like he would have included a perfume from his younger years too. The profile is similar to the current one, yet lighter thanks to the inclusion of more florals. I think it also matches Ruggie, having some parallelisms to Leona yet toned down.

Notes: amaretto, leather, wood, patchouli, musk Despite maintaining the leathery vibe, Jack strikes me as if he would enjoy sweetness, though in the form of flowers. This perfume only really has patchouli as a plant, but the amaretto, musk and wood make up for it with a deeper & warm sweetness. OCTAVINELLE

Notes: quince, grapefruit, hyacinth, jasmine, iris, musk, cedarwood, amber Azul is a synonym for powdery and light florals to me. I do see him using more classically masculine fragrances as well, though still a softer version. I had originally assigned him Jersey (Chanel) because of the lavender, but this one fit better.

Notes: pear, lily of the valley, aldehydes, iris, rose absolute, orange blossom, patchouli oil, ambrette seeds, white musk I think we can all agree Jade is the president of aldehydes; the cleanest linens you will ever experience. He'd incorporate florals too, especially those he finds during hikes - a deceiving softness.

Notes: mandarin, sea water, Egyptian geranium, clary sage, lavender, rosemary, oak moss, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla orchid People have said this smells like the holidays, which couldn't be more fitting. Floyd has the freshness of a fruity perfume without really having it in its profile (there is a citric note of course). He would also use less conventional scents, such as sea water. SCARABIA

Notes (most I have confirmed, but beware that some I'm doubtful on): bergamot, red berries, blackcurrant, florals, mandarin, honey, caramel, almond, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, chocolate I feel like Kalim is a gourmand person; he'd go for the caramels, vanillas, coconuts...I actually wanted to find a perfume with coconut and flowers for him, but I settled on this one since it also fits.

Notes (not 100% verified): mate, pink pepper, violet leaf, clary sage, patchouli, bergamot Albeit simple, Jamil's perfume is definitely a nice one. His choices would be influenced by aromatherapy; he'd definitely wear calming scents. A lot of herbals, but there are some richer fragrances in his collection for special occasions, like ambers. POMEFIORE

Notes: jasmine (sambac), orange, bergamot, mandarin, gardenia, orange blossom, sandalwood, white amber, cedarwood, white musk As soon as I got to Vil while brainstorming, I knew one of the Poison perfumes had to be in his hands. He definitely combines the softness of florals with the sharpness of citrics and the richness of ambers. His fragrances are a luxurious dessert that leaves you wishing for more.

Notes: thyme, tea, lily of the valley, saffron, rose, suede, musk, sandalwood, olibanum, amber Based on the description we got, I wanted Rook to have a perfume with amber and musk, though with other notes too. Originally I thought of Jo Malone's Midnight Musk & Amber, but since it is discontinued, this one took its place. I find the scent profile to match Rook better; he'd want something herbal to soften the warm richness.

Notes: aldehydes, rose centifolia, peony, violet, musk, sandalwood If I may be honest, I first assigned this to Vil (I know, the name), but since I wanted him to have a Poison perfume and eventually found a better scent profile, this one seemed more fitting for Epel. It's especially fitting post-VDC once he starts embracing his femininity, yet with the deepness of musk and sandalwood highlighting his strength. IGNIHYDE

Notes: aldehydes, citric, clary sage, ozonic notes, musk, ironwood (hornbeam)

Originally I imagined Idia would reach for a more metallic scent, though I couldn't find any I particularly liked (I don't even know what metal perfume smells like...), so I opted for my first thought: aldehydes and citrics. While Idia does enjoy his candies, I feel he'd want a very simple scent profile, and this perfume was perfect.

Notes: lemon, mandarin, orange, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, cedarwood, musk Like Idia, Ortho to me would reach for aldehydes (which this perfume has) and citrics, though his fragrances would be sweeter. I imagine he'd mask the metallic smell with it. DIASOMNIA

Notes: Italian lemon and mandarin, mint oil, candied apple, geranium flower, clary sage, ambermax, cedarwood, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla While still very masculine, I feel Malleus' choices would have a sweetness to them, wanting to lure you in with a sense of safety. I smelled this perfume years ago and still remember how much I loved it; it truly is fitting to him.

Notes: wild berries, blackcurrant buds, musk, blackberries Immediately, my mind went to berries. Lilia would heighten his cute image through sweet scents, especially fruits, though he could reach for gourmands.

Notes: fig milk, mandarin, sandalwood, violet, tonka bean, musk Silver is on the natural side; he'd reach out for florals and herbals instead of overwhelming scents. Though he reminds me of clean linens too, in a warmer way - like the creaminess of a lactonic without them. It comes through thanks to the notes in this perfume.

Notes: lavender, rosemary, petitgrain, clary sage, geranium, ambery wood Out of everyone in the Diasomnia quartet, Sebek feels like the one that embraces masculinity most, especially its sharpness. Though because of his age, it still has a softness present through floral hints. A relative of mine has owned this perfume, and it's a rather nice scent. I definitely see Sebek wearing it to strengthen his appearance.

Trigun and Perfume: A Headcanon 🥸

summary: Roulette through the Macy's Perfume Aisle! What's YOUR favorite character's perfume smell?

characters: vash the stampede, nicholas d. wolfwood, meryl stryfe, milly thompson

A/N: i said i was gonna make a headcanon post about trigun and perfumes didn't i 🥸 i had fun actually putting my frequent times smelling the perfumes at the Macy's perfume section to wORRKKKKKKK,,, have i smelled all of the perfumes listed before? yes, my friends and I are fiends for perfumes hehehe so we usually gift them out for birthdays or holidays. maybe i'll make another post that includes knives, roberto, zazie, etc. but I'll have to go perfume smelling for them. Enjoy!~

Vash The Stampede

Dior Sauvage Elixir

top notes: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Grapefruit

-Vash would totally wear this perfume my top headcanon

-I can see Vash not being a fan of overall too sweet scents, but just a tad bit.

-This is his main perfume to any occasion,,,,loves that people can recognize he was there by just his smell heellloooooooooo? o//o

-He runs through this like crazy, but he does have the mini version!

My notes: This perfume starts off with a woody, musky and earthy scent at the first spray but as it settles, it leaves a very honey-like faint after-smell that makes the knees jelly. How wonderful for the Humanoid Typhoon! pheromones whoooooo :P

Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Versace Man Eau Fraîche

top notes: White Lemon, Rose Wood, Carambola

base notes: musk, amber, sycamore wood

-I can see Wolfwood lean more towards the woody yet aromatic/clean scents.

-Settles in well with his skin, giving the perfume a better twist with his own smoky/natural musk scent and the clean/fresh scent of the toilette mixing.

-Sprays once in a while, he's kinda broke :/ but it's okay! The bottle is a pretty nice size so it lasts a pretty long time!

-I didn't give him any deep musk scent bc mf already kinda has that smoker scent he's on his 100th pack atp

My notes: This scent delivers a faint musk smell but honestly it kinda reminds me of what the woods would smell like but amplified 2x if they were by a waterfall.

So moreover, if water smelled like a man. But honestly, I like this scent, it doesn't burn the nose like other man colognes/perfumes. Touché Undertaker!

Meryl Stryfe

Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Giolia

top notes: Lemon, Jasmine, Cedarwood

-Meryl is more of a fresh scent kinda person and this is that scent.

-It smells like peace tbh, and Meryl finds the fresh airy scent to it very comforting in the sudden chaos and trouble that always surrounds Milly and her.

-gets the smell of gun powder out of her nose palette.

my notes: if you're into very fresh scents that remind you of the nice scent of the sandy beaches or honestly like summer you'll like this one! Personally, this kinda reminds me of a freshly cut green cantaloupe(very specific hehe)

The tint of jasmine and lemon touches when you smell it give the calming effect it focuses on. Very Nice! Has to constantly rebuy bc she loses the bottle often

Milly Thompson

YSL Black Opium The Original

top notes: Black Coffee, White Flowers, Vanilla

-TOTALLY A MILLY SMELL

-LEGIT SMELLS LIKE A SOFT CARAMEL CANDY

-It's a very warm and sweet mix that I think she'll love smelling on her clothes and just generally the tint of vanilla in it.

-Honestly smells like flan,, or caramelized sugar :)

-tbh its my next perfume purchase They say it has coffee in it but it doesn't smell like it.

-I was torn between this perfume and the pink or green Burberry Her for Milly (the pink one smells like sweet strawberry yogurt and the green one smells like those lil containers of jellies that had little fruit pieces in them if you know you know) yes i have both of them

-But i found this to be a more fitting smell for her!

-Steal her jacket and it smells like Vanilla extract in the best way

My Notes: With a very caramel and vanilla smooth smell, this perfume leaves behind quite the scent of sugar and spice! A very sensual yet playfully smell of autumn! Nice taste Milly!

Coyote and Fanboy , that’s it , just that. [A Fanboy idea that popped up in my head]

Fanboy and Coyote never spend time alone , never , nunca. They’re friends but never hanged out just the two , usually theirs someone usually is Payback or Bob .

Is not that they secretly don’t like each other or anything, they just never had to hang out just the two. So it’s a bit awkward when they find themselves alone. Fanboy is not a big fan of silence so he blurts out whatever comes to mind .

“I’m miss carambola.” Fanboy smiles because there’s no going back and he didn’t want to look rude or more awkward than what he feels . He doesn’t know why since he knows Coyote .

“What’s carambola ?” Coyote is just trying to escape the obvious weird awkward shit that is going on .

And fanboy explains —more like rants but Coyote got the gist of it.

“Its a fruit— Do you know what’s a fruit? Of course you know what a fruit is . I don’t know why I asked. Unless you don’t , which you shouldn’t be ashamed, Anyway —it’s yellow and when you cut it , the slices are star shaped -which is the best part , my mom would get mad at me because one time I refused to eat anything but carambolas,—I think it’s called starfruit i don’t remember, it’s been awhile that I haven’t had some and I can’t seem to remember to buy any. I think I need to buy some sticky notes , sometime I forget something , flies over my head , that actually reminds me that—

Payback comes looking for fanboy saving Coyote from all that info.

Coyote is still stuck on the part where Fanboy thought for a second he didn’t know what a fruit was . He decides not to take it personally. Payback had explained his rio would just go into a rant and suggested to just let it flow and wait patiently .

The three end up hanging out , both putting it behind them.

Except Coyote can’t stop thinking about Carambolas . Which bothered him , it was nagging him . It didn’t help when Fanboy was mentioned or when he was present. He would ask himself ‘did he buy it, or did he forget again.’

Coyote just imagines young fanboy eating the starfruit with a bubbly smile and wonders how big would the guy smile if he had it now . Would he scream in glee or smile so big that his face would hurt.

Then one day Fanboy is having a bad day , feeing homesick , everyone is comforting him , Payback keeps him under his arm , Bob tells him jokes and puns , Hangman would let him win over a game of pool , Pheonix and Rooster makes a big show when he wins making Fanboy smile . Coyote leaves, he wasn’t a big fan to see Garcia all mopey and looking like a kicked puppy.

And Fanboy just watches him leave with sad eyes feeling like shit because he probably made the guy uncomfortable .

Cut to scene: Javy is on his phone looking for stores to buy the fruit that has been stuck on his mind. Drags Hangman with him to a couple fruterías .

Hangman is just mildly complaining , Coyote shuts him up by reminding him how they drove for miles to go to that expensive antique shop to get that crystal goose for Rooster.

Fanboy stares at the fruit bowl stunned. It was full of carambolas , that was not there before. If he was a dog his tail would be wagging in that moment . He eats about 10 in less than 5 minutes. Mickey actually thought when Coyote had left because he had ruin the whole vibe with being upset.

Coyote gets a lap full of Garcia when the guy sprung out of the corner scaring the shit out of him . Now Javy practically has Mickey following him around like a lost puppy.

Payback randomly shows up at Coyotes and is like reading off of a list like instructions , like a mom ,telling the do/don’ts that he kept notes since he met Fanboy . 📝

Coyote is just there like : 😯 , Fanboy : 🤗.

#just random thoughts #or idk #mickey fanboy garcia #mickey garcia #fanboy top gun #javy coyote machado #coyote #coyote top gun #javy machado #payback top gun #coyote x fanboy #fanboy x Coyote #hangman #rooster #side #Hangster

What are the properties of a carambola?

Actually, it has flavors of pineapple, pear, apple, and citrus; However, the unripe fruit tastes like green apples and is sour. Active antioxidants like epicatechin, quercetin, and gallic acid can be found in abundance in star fruit in the form of polyphenolic flavonoids and phytonutrients. Every 100 grams of star fruit contains 143 mg of polyphenols with antioxidant properties. Due to its high antioxidant capacity, star fruits can slow the aging process because free radical damage to cells is the main cause of aging and burnout. When cut into star-shaped pieces, the small fruit known as star fruit or carambola, also known as astral, piques everyone's curiosity about its flavor and texture. Before you buy this strange tropical fruit, you might want to try it out to see how it tastes. We are going to discuss the flavor and texture of star fruit in the following section. What are the properties of a carambola

Properties of a carambola-The flavor of star organic product Star natural product has an intricate prepared taste and its pleasantness increment over the long haul as it develops. The flavor of this natural product is contrasted with the mix of grapefruit, orange, apple, and pear flavors, in which you will feel the sharp yet charming acidic taste like pineapple and the delicate fragrance of blossoms.

However, if you give them a little gas, you'll find that they're firmer than they appear. Star fruit typically has a crunchy texture, but less ripe varieties are firmer, less watery, and resemble unripe apples or pears in texture.

Star Fruit: Things Other Than Good Appearance

You must have come across the very alluring star fruit somewhere or other. People often wonder what start fruit tastes like. Chuck away the regular season fruits. It’s time to try something new and different. Star fruit is going to quench your thirst if you long for some uniqueness in your choice of fruits.

There are plenty of fruits and vegetables to add variety and colors to your diet. Star fruit is one among them. It is gaining much more popularity than before these days. Everyone is becoming aware of the unusual fruit and asking questions. We are here to answer many of those questions.

Apart from an intriguing appearance, star fruit is often associated with several health benefits. We are going to discuss that one by one here.

What is a Star fruit?

The name star fruit is the common name given to the fruit named Carambola due to its resemblance with a star when cut. The origin of the star fruit is believed to be coming from either Sri Lanka or The Moluccas, the islands of Indonesia. But as of now, the fruit is being teleported and cultivated throughout Asia for about centuries now. Southern China, India, and the Philippines are all now cultivators of the star fruit.

Star Fruit

As for the edible eligibility, the skin is edible and the flesh has a mild, sour flavor which makes it to the kitchen shelf for inclusion in several popular dishes.

The fruit is yellow or sometimes, green in color. It has majorly two types vaguely defined: the smaller one which is potentially sour and a larger one which essentially adds to the sweet tooth.

Hope your query about how to eat star fruit was cleared. Let us now move on to an important aspect of the discussion- the nutritional value of the fruit.

Nutritional value:

However appealing the fruit might turn out to be, it holds a significant amount of nutritional goodness that you might want to know in detail.

Nutrition Value in Star Fruit

So, here you go:

Fiber: 3 grams.

Vitamin C: 52% of the RDI

Protein: 1 gram

Copper: 6% of the RDI

Magnesium: 2% of the RDI

Vitamin B5: 4% of the RDI

Potassium: 3% of the RDI

Folate: 3% of the RDI

Albeit the nutritional content may eme to be relatively low, it does make for a good source of Vitamin C for your daily requirement. Also, do not ignore the fact that this single serving gives you only 28 calories and 6 grams of carbs which I great for someone who is on a strict diet or wishes to maintain that good body weight.

A little more on how to eat star fruit:

Initially, it may seen like chomping on a wild plant. But, remember, trying new is the key! Do not stop yourself from diving into something great like this.

Here’s how you should be eating the fruit:

How to eat Star Fruit

The fruit must be ripe in yellow color with only a bit of green hints to it.

Rinse it as you would do to any other fruit.

Cut the ends off.

Now you slice it and there you see the star shape formed which is the central zeal of the fruit.

Also, do not forget to take out the seeds, and voila! You’re good to go.

Not to forget, it can be added to the diet in plenty of ways. Add to salad, desk dishes, stews, and curries, cook with seafood, to shellfish dishes, formulate a jam or chutney out of it, juice it, and put it in whichever way you like.

Star fruit benefits:

As mentioned earlier, this fruit is attributed to having a few health benefits. Let us see what those are:

Benefits of Star Fruit

Anticancer benefits:

The very first benefit is a great head start to the list of benefits. The star fruit is known to have fibers of anticancer properties. Research has shown that star fruit can potentially act as a preventive measure of the deadliest disease- cancer. The toxicity is culminated because of the fiber of the star fruit.

Anti-inflammatory:

Star fruit is filled with antioxidants which give it the power of anti-inflammatory properties. The symptoms of psoriasis and dermatitis can be helped with this fruit to some extent.

Weight loss:

What’s better than such a delicious weight loss agent? The high fiber star fruit helps boost the metabolism of your body. Also, as mentioned earlier, the fruit has minimal calories and a great amount of vitamin C which essentially helps in weight loss.

Immunity booster:

What’s more in a star fruit- it has the properties of immunity-boosting substances. Since it is loaded with Vitamin C, you know it is a great option to chuck away the casual diseases. White blood cells production is pumped which eventually results in great immunity.

Respiratory health improved:

Because of the anti-inflammatory properties, it eases out the soreness in your throat by cutting down try phlegm and mucus. It is a choice of many people during cold and cough or even influenza.

Happy heart:

Star fruit jeeps your heart happy and healthy. Sodium and potassium in decent amounts help a great deal in enhancing the health of your heart.

Health risk:

Not ignoring the fact that star fruit also poses some potential threat to a certain population.

Takeaway:

People with kidney diseases best not have the star fruit as it might hinder their recovery and harm them. Also, an extremely important point to note here is that the star fruit is also a carrier of neurotoxin that can harm your brain and lead to neurological disorders. People with healthy kidneys can release these toxins easily. But, for kidney patients, it gets accumulated and harms their body and head.

Best Ever Tropical Fruit Salad (With video)

Best Ever Tropical Fruit Salad is the only recipe you'll ever need. My entire picky family devoured this fruit salad. The dressing is truly magical. The combination of citrus juices with honey are phenomenal in the fruit salad dressing. Then we added a few special ingredients that give it a little nuttiness and a touch of zestiness to kick it up a notch. Perfect any-occasion dish.

How to Make Fruit Salad

Fruit salads are a pretty reliable sign of spring and warmer weather around here. We love fruit in our house, we eat it year round, but come spring our counters and refrigerator are packed with fresh fruit. I love how bright it is and love creating new dishes with it. Throughout the warmer months you will see fruit filled cakes, fruit ice pops, fruit ice cream and even fruit cocktails (the adult kind) in our house.

This past week we had a group party at the park with Munchkin's ATA (Taekwondo) friends and I wanted to bring something light and healthy, as temps here in Arizona hit 96 this past weekend.

I could only think of bringing ice pops or fruit and I figured fruit would travel much better in 96-degree temps. I have to say it was a brilliant decision and I am pretty sure every drop was devoured, although I can't know for sure.

We did leave a little early. Chad mentioned ice cream and the next thing you know we were in the car driving to Dairy Queen. You know, priorities. LOL

As I was saying, the fruit salad.... The very next day I decided to test the fruit salad recipe and I have to say the second recipe test resulted in my 'happy dance' AND a few pats on the back as I shouted out "I AM A GENIUS! OH MY GOSH, THIS IS DIVINE!"

Ok, so I guess you figured out that I love the fruit salad and you are probably wondering what is so special about it.

Tropical Fruit Salads are pretty fantastic on their own. I mean look at the players: pineapple, mango, kiwi, mandarin oranges and strawberry (for a pop of color).

They can certainly pull off a fantastic dish all on their own. But, you know how well lime compliments those tropical flavors, right? What about lime, honey, and ginger?

They are a true flavor affinity! Then to kick it up a notch we added in lemon and more orange. Last, for a little nuttiness, I added poppyseed.

My masterpiece! The Best Ever Tropical Fruit Salad. This is the only one you need to try.

My entire picky family devoured this fruit salad. The dressing is truly magical. The combination of citrus juices with honey and poppy seeds.

The ginger gives this fruit salad a little zestiness that really kicks it up a notch, but it is subtle enough that no one will really be able to put their finger on the flavor.

Enjoy, oh and bring the recipe. People will be asking for it!

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook The Simple Kitchen - available to order nowis packed with delicious, easy recipes. The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

Helpful Tips to make Best Ever Tropical Fruit Salad:

This fruit salad is fabulous with whatever you have on hand. I love carambola (star fruit) and papaya in this salad as well.

Bananas are lovely, but have to be added at the last minute or they will get soft and not look pretty.

If you want to make the salad ahead, prepare the dressing and store it in the refrigerator in a mason jar until 30 minutes or so before you are ready to serve. Shake the dressing, pour over the salad and toss to combine.

What you will need to make Best Ever Tropical Fruit Salad:

Citrus Juicer - This makes juicing the lime much easier. Plus you’ll get every last drop out.

Microplane/Zester - This is great for zesting citrus. I also use mine to grate garlic.

Colander - Washing fresh fruit is much easier with a colander. Plus it’s great for draining pasta too.

Enjoy!

This fruit salad is fabulous with whatever you have on hand. I love carambola (star fruit) and papaya in this salad as well. Bananas are lovely, but have to be added at the last minute or they will get soft and not look pretty.
