Do You Speak Parseltongue?
“If you’re wondering what smells so strange, Mother: a mudblood just walked in.” He wrinkled his nose.
- “Tzzzz. My boy, don’t you know that even my lord, greater and mightier than you can ever imagine in your growing dreams, is not of pure blood? Tzzzz.”
Despite the snake emblem on his left breast, he clearly wanted to pay her no attention. What an unpleasant, pale brat, who with his feigned authoritative voice was proclaiming the wisdom of a second grader! Tzzzz.
Nagini slithered past. This wannabe villain could never be the heir of Slytherin, he couldn’t even master Parseltongue. If she hadn’t just devoured that fat Muggle two hours ago, she would have eaten him, just to avoid listening to him any longer.
Like Draco Malfoy (who is quoted here from Book 5 of the HP saga), I don’t speak Parseltongue and don’t understand much about snakes. Having touched a snake only once in my life, I waver between fascination and disgust with these creatures. A fitting scent comparison.
The voice of the snake starts off extremely loud and smoky for me, becomes medicinal (bleh, we will simply never be friends with saffron) and admittedly remains somehow coherent, impressive, mysterious - and yet again repulsive.
Nagini slinks away over parched earth dried by boiling heat. No mud. At most burning wood, cracking branches of rose bushes bend, Nagini elegantly winds her way past the blossoms. This impression runs through the entire scent progression, even if after a short time mainly leather becomes perceivable and sets the tone, not a soft hissing, but still bearable to pleasant even for those who are not fans of leather scents.
For a snake, this Gucci here is a bit too loud for me, and anyway, the not fully listed components of the perfume in this wonderfully pretty ceramic vessel are not my thing, but it’s well done, on the edge of villainy and yet somehow light-footed, perhaps fitting for a snake that has its five minutes of fame for a day.
Did anyone hear that hissing?
No idea what she said, but Nagini has disappeared. Hopefully, she won’t eat me too.

A snake, on the other hand, only does what snakes do... I'm totally Team Hagrid on this!
I’m not great with Sssssssaffffffran either. So the snake scent probably isn’t for me. But the look and the ceramic bottle are definitely appealing.
