More Proof That Scorpios Cannot Do Perfume Ads

January 19, 2010 in Astro-Beauty, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 21 comments

This is Demi Moore spokes-modelling the new Helena Rubinstein juice: All You’ve Ever Wanted. I did not know the brand still existed. Helena Rubinstein herself was a stupendously hard-working, perpetually self-reinventive and wealthy Capricorn. She is probably organising the brand rejuvenation strategy from heaven. Seriously. Caps don’t stop working.

But this ad? Leaving aside the plastic texture of the skin (reminds me of that Libran Fembot from the other day) she looks like she is just eyeing up the target she is going to bash with that bottle. And what…she is sitting on the sofa and the Ashton-clone is hanging from the roof a la BAT? Is this a Twilight reference? Bit dated now, surely? And I am pro-Demi but I don’t like her in this.

See also the analysis of the shocker of the scent ad from the otherwise studly and talented Matthew McConaughey: “He looks constipated and up himself” is not a good brand association, no?

Compare Matthew’s shill for Dolce & Gabbana with this one and one has to come to the conclusion that Scorpio celebrities cannot do good perfume ads.

And the concept behind “All You’ve Ever Wanted” being contained in a bottle?  Focus Group infinity with Demi picked to front as young hubby, sane & healthy kids, $$$, long hair, brilliant skin, pleasant relationship with ex-hubby, tight abs and a million followers on Twitter symbolic of all anyone wants – yes?

La Luna in La Libra

The Moon is in Libra, nearing Saturn and squaring Pluto…So it’s Libra with a Saturnine edge – scented aplomb (aplomb actually means balanced) & restraint – and Plutonic undercurrents; endings, beginnings, alchemy, clandestine lusts…Don’t let on or out until the New Moon in Sagittarius/Mars-Venus exact trine next week. Smell GORGEOUS. Manners matter. Your secret diary is a sight to behold. And hands up whose dreams are lucid AND lurid. Did I tell you that i had one the other night in which i was giving birth…to myself.

Astro Aries Fragrance…

il_430xN.76180379yay,  Aries Fragrance !

“…The Ram – hot and on the spot, Aries folks are bright, strong and oh-so present. Enjoy the scent of allspice that only accentuates deep down sweet-natured rose and geranium….”

I think we could add in a dab of nitro-glycerine or rocket fuel, some brasso from the polishing of all their trophies, clean sweat, something green and forever youthful & flowering narcissus as the top note.

Apparently the actual planet of Mars reeks of sulphur..

Astro-Beauty: New Tarot Perfume

October 13, 2009 in Astro-Beauty, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 27 comments

So Dolce & Gabbana are doing five new scents & each is based on a Tarot Card – one of the Major Arcana, naturally.

Above is Scorpio Supermod Tyson Ballou who embodies The Magician - Le Bateleur.  Naomi Campbell is L’Imperatice, The Empress. That seems odd as the Empress is the Sensual Aspect of the Feminine Divine and usually has a strong motherhood connotation. Claudia Schiffer is La Lune, The Moon. It’s a card of artistic excess and dark emo faced up to pre-dawn, innuendo and poisoned nostalgia…Surely Claudia too Germanic and Virgo to be the Moon?

Below is the Piscean Eva Herzigova & Saggo Footie Guy Fernando Fernandes as – mysteriously – the fateful Wheel Of Fortune: La Roue de la Fortune…gardenia, patchouli, jasmine & tuberose. I reckon these would have been so much more fab if they’d had more esoteric layering involved – an essential oil here, astrologically matched models to represent the tarot cards. I mean how are Eva H and FF redolent of the Wheel Of Fortune? The card means Fate is in play and there is little you can do about the situation but to go with it for the moment.

And anyway, the Moon IS in Leo, but i really like her hair. Still, could they not have bunged in just a BIT of mystical symbolism with the packaging?

Astro-Query From An Aspiring Piscean Seductrix

September 25, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 29 comments

phpkvrLRyAM

“Lady Mystic,

For all the astrology info out there on the net you are my one and only because I love your attitude. Your blog is a pleasure to read AND informative. Also the way you mix astrology/herbology/life-ology together whilst remaining awesome and normal – there are some really bizarre people out there on the net.

Now, my point: I have an astrological scent query.

What part of our astrology do you think it is that perfumes/scents appease? Venus? Sun? Moon? Or is it house-related? Also, do you think particular signs are attracted to particular scents? (send recipes for enchanting virgos with strong libran influences my way, please! and don’t say ’soap’). I have read your few astro-beauty posts about perfume, which do suggest certain signs are more into perfumes than others, but that’s not quite what I mean. I am particularly asking about scents and smells that may be more or less attractive to some signs, not just fashion related desires for latest gimmick perfumes from celebrities etc.

Small anecdote:
Me: pisces with venus in pisces. Him: virgo with venus in libra.
So I start seeing this guy 9 months ago, realise very quickly my personal hygiene/turn-out needs to be upped a thousand fold (piscean with aquarius moon – I can be a little all-over-the-place). Enter my secret weapon: The Signature Scent. At 23, I buy my first perfume for myself. I saw one picture of the bottle for L de Lolita Lempicka and that was it for me (look it up – total mermaid fantasy! As if I could resist. Plus, not a mainstream perfume – an added bonus). Looked up the notes: bitter orange, cinnamon, immortelle, vanilla, woods, solar notes, musk – didn’t sound too bad! And as it turns out when I got my hands on a bottle, I liked the scent!
Anyway, it becomes my one and only scent. Everytime I am going to see him, I am wearing it. Now I am in Paris and we’re not going to see each other again ’til late January… innocent man seems to think the fact that the side I slept on in his bed smells like me (read: reeks of my perfume) is a sentimental nicety given to him by the universe. Bwahahahaaa. I also plan love-letters soaked in it.
What do you think of my scent-warfare, is it enough to keep me active in my virgo-with-venus-in-libra’s thoughts?

Keep on being amazing,

Nancy, The Aspiring Piscean Seductrix”

Dear Nancy, The Aspiring Piscean Seductrix,

First of all, congrats for knocking out my formatting! How strong is that Lolita thingie stuff?  That it can alter my font/format-set up?  Jeez.

2nd:  Flattery works. Thank you.

3rd: Scents Virgos like? See Virgophilia. They like EARTH. Wash in organic soap (something  organic and citrussy) and then exfoliate. Shower again. Apply clean organic body oil. Then achieve orgasm. Then go and exercise. Follow  up with some weeding and/or baking. Dab a bit of vanilla behind your ears to appease his Libran bits.

4th: Yes Scent warfare works but you need other things to back it up. And, should he ever – for some bizarre reason – go off you, or the thing cools, you can look psycho sending perfume drenched notes. Scent was how peeps used to trace adultery in the days before technology and strong laundry products.

5th: The Olfactory nerve is the only nerve stemming from inside the brain (close to the limbic region/memory et al) and that is outside the body…ie: near the nostril opening. Do i have that WAY wrong?

6th: Is the Virgo to be the only victim/beneficiary of your Scent Warfare? Do you have other weapons?

7th: There are stacks of perfume postings on this blog!

8th: I am insane for L’Heure Bleu (The Blue Hour) but too freaked to smell it lately in case it has been tweaked by the same peeps who’ve stuffed up some other scents i’ve loved. Accountants should not be allowed to redesign classic scents made with natural essences by substituting olfactory fragments gleaned from fly spray components.

9th; Libra & Pisces are the most scent-aware signs. I whacked some patchouli oil (essential pure) on last Tues, washed several times since – obviously – and the Piscean Beauty Fanatic hugged me today and beamed with delight- “You smell divine- is it patchouli?!”  Now, THAT is a nose.

10th; If you really want to scent-attack the Virgo, incorporate some essential oils (more emotional-psyche affecting) and/or a scent that is way harder to get than LL. Consider also rushing in through the balcony doors, thunder outside, in your wet nightie or whatever and with huge bunch of peonies…

And..Another Venus In Leo Point…

And…just so as you know, Venus in Leo is not just brazen posing, makeovers, too much champagne, power scents, big hair, love letters left under the pillow at midnight with crushed gardenia & grandiose gestures or actually being bothered to go out and stalk someone in person (with the right outfit/hair/make-up) instead of just idle google-stalking…

No. It is also SERIOUSLY honouring your art. So T.F. what if you trashed your lovers atelier trying to come up with the Concept, crashed your girlfriend’s stupid book club or had to stay up three  nights in a row and all THAT entailed because it is all totally about the art dude. And with Pluto stationing direct bringing the most ferocious psych insights, one has to work them out via Art.

And everyone knows that artists have rad hair, drink a lot and enjoy non-trad love lives.

THIS, ladies & gentleman, is another aspect of Venus in Leo…

Astro-Beauty; Your First Scent???

Perhaps unfairly, I am assuming that Cancerians, Librans & Pisceans will be best able to recall their first scent & how they wore it…From a Mercury in Virgo point of view (Mercury has just one into Virgo – carp at your leisure) it would be interesting to note if particular Sun signs have an affinity with different families of scent?  And if peeps essentially stick to the same family of scent the whole way through. eg;  you start with Orientals and more or less stay there, merely maturing your tastes as you go along…Is there any one person who’s always stuck with the same scent??? And if so, what is your sign?

A Leo Uncle who specialised in inappropriate but fabulous gifts gave me a massive bottle of Ma Griffe when i was about 13 & despite being told to “save it for special occasions” I became renowned for reeking of it at school.  It was, of course, WAY too old for me.

The brill book Perfumes – The Guide (Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez) says it is a “classic green chypre, less herbacious than Givenchy III, less dry than Y, more floral than most, and with a Miss Moneypenny spinsterish loveliness that works perfectly if you are nothing of the sort.” Lol!

Aquarian Roses

“…AQUARIAN ROSES…

CRISP, AQUATIC NOTES OF WILD ROSES BRIGHTEN A WARM SEA OF MARJORAM AND SANDALWOOD. A FLORAL PERFUME FOR BOTH SEXES, THIS AQUARIAN ELIXIR BOASTS THE RELEVANCE OF ROSE IN CONTEMPORARY PERFUMERY AND ON THE SKIN OF MEN.
INSPIRATION: ROSE RETURNS BUT THIS TIME ON ITS OWN TERMS. TRUE TO ITS ROOTS AND WILD WITH THORNS, IT IS POISED TO ENLIGHTEN THE SENSES AND PERFUME A NEW ERA.CHARACTER: ENLIGHTENED, FLUID, TRANSFORMATIVE…”

Alright, so quite obviously i insanely want Aquarian Roses – its from Strange Invisible Perfumes.

The companies creator & ‘nose’ – Alexandra Balahoutis – describes herself as the “quintessential Virgo purist.”

Scorpio Incense

May 4, 2009 in Astro Gaga by Mystic Medusa | 21 comments

inc120kI wouldn’t trust the person who had this incense. Nothing against Scorps, but it’s the packaging & that it is Bergamot, apparently. But bergamot is sunny & citrussy, the essential oil of snappy prosperity & self-improvement by the Dale Carnegie book.

Whereas everyone knows that a proper Scorpio incense would consist of tuberose, black rubber, patchouli, belladonna, blood musk & myrrh.

Whomever had this incense would also have a waterbed & yet claim to follow the dictates of Feng Shui. He would have a fetish for ratty loooking hair extensions & leopardskin acrylic undies  & do control-trippy Tarot readings/Shiatsu massage and claim to be the reincarnation of Rasputin or someone.

Astro-Beauty: Kaftans

April 21, 2009 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 52 comments

picture3Cindy Sherman

When, how, why and would you wear a kaftan???  If not in THIS life, what is the imaginary life in which an ornate kaftan would be appropriate. This Cindy Sherman character – above – looks like she’s been married a long time to the professor of physics she met when she was a budding student & he her tutor. And now she’s about ready to bust out.

There are some amazing images of people such as Liz Taylor & Richard Burton/the Getties lurking about in exotic places, rocking their kaftans. But in real life, they can look purely as if one is emerging from a sustained bout with carbophilia. I think Leos look wonderful in kaftans. They have the august presence to carry one off, no matter how ornate.

The academic’s wife, above, to me looks like a Leo only with Capricorn Rising so she’s kept her hair restrained.  A real Leo would set off that kaftan with BIG hair. I’d say that she secretly sets her husband’s lab rats free because she can RELATE to them only i am not sure that even imaginary Piscean physics professors have lab rats. She thinks he is having an affair with a student – as, after all, that is how she got him off his original wife – but the Piscean physics professor is actually working on a secret Radonics machine.

Anyway, kaftans? And no, I don’t mean things you put over your bikini at the beach. I mean wear out. Or to lurk around sulking outside your husband’s lab. And if you DO wear a kaftan in this life or a parallel dimension, what is the hair, scent and makeup policy?  The Leo Academic’s wife just reeks of Bal A Versailles which he complains ruins his experiments it’s so strong.
