Wild Space Giveaway

Researching a proper scent for Eli has been fun but also kind of stressful.
A lot of responsibility since, despite he appears in just two out of six canon books, his fandom is vast and adoring.
Because, frankly, it is impossible not loving him.
[Right, Thrawn?]

We wanted something kind and sweet but, at the same time, direct and blunt. And since he is a Wild Space cowboy, in a way, something exotic and a little rough.

The selection of the notes has been super long, spanning all summer. And, since the other mastermind behind this, @kotoroa, lives something like 8,060 km away from me, also pretty challenging, given the need to send each other the scents for comparing notes.

Ultimately, the choice fell on saffron and white tea for the top notes, purple peonies, orchid, and tobacco for the middle, with a base of everything you can think of good and earthy: vanilla, almond milk, and tonka bean.

At this point, the artistry and talent of @thenerfherderco did the rest, and the “Wild Space Cowboy” scent is now available on her website. And, since I am pretty proud of it, also part of my most recent giveaway on IG (check the link on the right).

For entering, everyone needs to comment why they love Eli and Thrawn (as friends, partners, soulmates, mentor/mentee, whatever is in their headcanon), and to mention someone that is their own "Eli". Someone honest, who understands the complexity of their soul. No names needed. Just feelings.
