"I Share My Dreams with Ghosts" - Scenting My Two Favourite Rebels

As many of you already know, I'm a hopeless Star Wars geek, and one of my favourite things in the whole SW universe is Andor series. My dear friend Bhavnadarira once got this idea of scenting favourite fictional characters, and I have done that a lot. Today we're scenting my two favourite rebels, Cassian Andor and Luthen Rael.

Cassian Andor's signature scent would definitely be A*Men Pure Malt - down to earth, yet extremely revolutionary and determined, almost stubborn. An outsider but with a very warm heart. A true working class hero who uncompromisingly gives his full heart for his cause and is always true to his word.

You just walk in like you belong.

Once you get to the best spot, light the place up. Make ten men feel like a hundred.

Cassian's unexpected ally, Luthen Rael, has a different strategy but the same goal. He is a true rebel by heart too but he wears masks to feint the Empire. He is The Bug. Protest. Unsettling and disjointed, like the official description of the fragrance says.

I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.

Luthen Rael

Who are your favourite fictional characters? Which fragrances you imagine they could wear?

So glad to hear that you have enjoyed my articles so much, dearest Kathryn! πŸ€—πŸ₯° Unfortunately Parfumo management has started to remind me of the one at Fragrantica (where I originally escaped), they don't respect users and user content so I won't waste any more of my precious time on such platform and will concentrate in the future on those platforms that know how to appreciate my art. 😊

My favourite show of all time is The Sopranos, and to me for the main character, Tony Soprano would wear the fragrance i thought out for him a long time ago when I was making a game for the forum, but someone created one very similar, so never got around to posting it, but I had a long time to think up how I would start the topic off and which fragrance would be picked. It absolutely has to be Bentley for Men intense.
He is an Italian mafia family boss and we all know of the ties to Leather and Italy. Their cars interior are often lined with fine leather and he wears a cool leather jacket at times.
Then there is the boozy part. Tony likes a drink and spends a lot of time out drinking with his crew. And his ladies on the side.
But most of all it takes a type A personality with that pure charisma and ability to pull off a fragrance like this and not have some people think of it as an old man fragrance and instead a sexy fragrance. Tony Soprano can easily pull this off.

Wow! Sounds absolutely amazing, thanks a million for sharing!! πŸ€©πŸ™ŒπŸ’• I must admit that I'm not overly familiar with The Sopranos but I have heard so many great things about the series that I really should start watching it at some point, thanks for the reminder! πŸ‘πŸ‘
