Scents and outfits.

Yesterday, I left the house wearing Delirium (a very spiffy lemon-rose scent that I haven't yet reviewed.) This morning, I looked at Delirium, considered it, thought, "No, it will clash with what I'm wearing," and started to look for something else before my brain came to a screeching halt, backed up, and took a look at where it had just been.

"It will clash with what I'm wearing?"

It's accurate, though. I do seem to have a pretty firm color-to-scent clash palette, investigated by considering a few scent/outfit combinations and watching internally to see whether or not it felt "wrong".

It seems to be based on some pretty basic scent-to-color associations. For example, Delirium is very lemony, and my outfit today is all greens and browns -- hideous with bright, light yellow. Similarly, Night-Gaunt smells of grapefruit and light flowers, and the shirt I'm happiest wearing it with has a lot of pink in it.

But the scent I wound up grabbing instead, Has No Hanna, is a yellowish-green scent to me that I wouldn't race to wear with this pine green shirt, either. Still, it feels fine in my head, so... good enough.

Very odd, though.
