Guilty Gear Strive came out last month and it's a pretty good fighter, all things considered. Dave really liked it, and said in his review that Strive "smells great, blazes beautifully." Well, now he can smell as great as the game thanks to the two brand new Guilty Gear scents.
Called "Sol & Ky Eau de Parfum," the two scents are named after Sold Badguy and Ky Kiske, two of the main characters from the Guilty Gear series. Both bottles are adorned with each character's signature colors (red for Sol, blue for Ky), as well as their signature weapons (a big sword for Sol and a somewhat more agile-looking sword for Ky).
But its the descriptions of each scent that really sells it. For Sol, expect "a smoky scent reminiscent of Sol Badguy's dynamic battle style, which strikes with a pillar of fire." Also, Sol's "refreshing scent conveys the rugged masculinity of actions speaking louder than words."
Here's the full aroma profile in case you were wondering what this flowery language really means.
- Top note: Lemon, Cinnamon bark
- Middle note: Tobacco accord, Vanilla, Cocoa
- Last note: Patchouli, Musk, Sandalwood
Ky, on the other hand, features "a soft yet gorgeous floral scent based on the spirit of Ky Kiske's dedication to protect the weak with a sword."
Google Translate then sort of went off the rails with the next bit, but it's still gold. "The scent of Earl Gray, which is fluffy, loves the family as a father, and the scent of lemon, jasmine, and musk, which scents everywhere, reminds us of the sharpness of his thunderstorm, while making us feel the kindness of his heart as a king. I will."
Yes, you will. And just for consistency, here's Ky's official aroma profile.
- Top note: Bergamot, Lemon
- Middle note: Black Tea, Jasmine, Rose
- Last note: Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Musk
Anyway, both scents can be ordered directly from the manufacturer at Dreaming Princess.com, or you can get 'em on Amazon. Unfortunately, they’re both only available in Japan, so use Westerners will never know the masculine aroma of Sol Badguy’s big sword.
