Thread: The Smells of Halloween

Tweet

A friend and i were thinking about Halloween scents. we all know pumpkin...sure. but what else?

How would you describe brimstone?

What creepy name would you give the smell of fresh linen ?

I guess creepy names for common scents..

instead of pumpkin what could you call it?

What would steampunk smell like?

would you call patchoulli 'fresh dug grave?" or Dead Hippie? lol

Steampunk would smell like old musty leather, blood, copper, and sweat....with a hint of cologne.

How about that smell of fallen autumn leaves? The smell of drug-store gerase-paint make-up? The unmistakable smell of machine-made fog?

fresh dug grave would need to have the hint of moss, dried leaves,... can you toss in some carrion?

sodium sulfide just add water and it give the perfect scent of rotten eggs and rotten flesh.

LOL these are great!

ok lets say you have the scent of mulberry or something. what creepy name might you give that?

I don't think I've ever (knowingly) smelled Mulberry. I cant recall that scent.

How would you describe brimstone?

Sulfur



What creepy name would you give the smell of fresh linen ?

Death shroud



instead of pumpkin what could you call it?

Stabbed Squash
Gored Gourd (though pumpkin isn't a gourd, it does sound good)



What would steampunk smell like?

Coal, oil, leather, copper, wood ash, and wet cobblestones (edit: probably some tobacco as well)


would you call patchoulli 'fresh dug grave?" or Dead Hippie?

Dead Hippie

Agreed, I think Brimstone would have notes of sulfer, as well as smoke & maybe burnt flesh, and the tang of lots of angst.

Creepy name for clean linen: grave blanket.

What would a Banshee smell like?

a banshee...hmm.. moss, wet grass...with a hint of post lightning strike?
