I've seen a few of those cases in my time and all of them have been containing sewing equipment.
I really want to what they taste like :I
Have a more extensive vocabulary in :england: than :sweden: (which is scary considering that I'm born and raised here)
Can only pronounce a few sentences of :spain:

Buttery, sort of like a shortbread. Not as nice as homemade biscuits, but good enough for a bought one.

You see someone wearing a T-shirt that says "I hate Mondays." First thought? 'I know how to fix that...'

All of my friends before they were introduced to SSSS: "ahh I hate mondays."
After SSSS: "ahh I can't wait until the weekend is over!"

did anyone mention that Thor's wife was Sif, and Torbjörn is basically Thor+bear and Siv is Sif (name meanings)

but I didn't know their names were after eachother before
I forgot to reply, sorry >.<

I had forgotten they were married :o Since Minna seems to like mythology, I guess she had that in mind!

When you decide that the fragrance you're wearing kind of reminds you of Sigrun... and then you go through your collection to pick out colognes that match your impressions of the rest of the crew, too*.

 I don't even wear scents but now I'm intrigued! I liked the scent descriptions, especially the ones for Reynir sounded good.

What a fascinating idea:

Sigrun - pine, musk ambrette, bergamot, vetiver, oakmoss.

Mikkel - oakmoss again, clove, thyme oil, bigarade, cedar bud, and one of the really rich green notes. Maybe galbanum, basil and myrtle. Vanilla?

Emil - sandalwood, of course, and maybe musk. Basil. A sharp bright green note, maybe rosemary? Patchouli. And a sweet but not floral note, perhaps orange oil with rose geranium leaf? Honeysuckle, sage and sweetgrass.

Lalli: vetiver and sweetgrass with some sort of woody/smoky note, maybe cedarwood ? Sage or white sage. Peony or nenuphar. Frankincense, myrrh or Callitris resin. Chypre or labdanum. Bog myrtle leaf. And oakmoss.

Tuuri - a naive floral, maybe appleblossom, lilac and violet with an underlying bitter note, maybe both leaf and fruit oil of bitter orange. Black pepper. Vanilla, tonka bean or something else with coumarins.

Reynir - frankincense, vetiver, maybe lemongrass? Myrtle, wild rose with rosehip oil as well as flower oil, not the rich sweet attar of roses. Thyme and something sweet and totally out of place - jasmine? Lots of green notes, maaaybe galbanum?

Haa, I'm glad someone got something out of my scent nerdery. ^^

Róisín Your ideas sound so lovely. The one for Tuuri is especially perfect. < 3

Thanks, glad you liked them. I'm a fairly serious hobby perfumer, and mostly make my own perfumes (can't afford to buy 'Joy' which is about the only commercial perfume I would buy, and mostly like my own blends better anyway). It was amusing to design perfumes for the team!
