As a perfume blogger, I’m still reeling from the intense roller coaster that was “Stranger Things” season 4. This show isn’t just about supernatural thrills – it’s a deep dive into the intricate personalities of characters like Eleven, Max, Mike, and the whole Hawkins crew. In my world, where fragrance is a way to express oneself, I’ve been pondering – if these characters were perfumes, what scents would they embody?
1. Eleven: Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eleven, our beloved protagonist, is a whirlwind of emotions, empathy, creativity, and determination. Her scent? Narciso Rodriguez For Her. It’s a powerful yet feminine fragrance that mirrors her magnetic personality. With musky rose notes, sweet peach top notes, and a comforting base of patchouli and sandalwood, this perfume is as complex and captivating as Eleven herself.
2. Max Mayfield: Alien by Thierry Mugler Max, the fearless adventurer, requires a scent that’s as bold and mysterious as she is. Thierry Mugler’s Alien is a perfect fit. It’s a potent white floral fragrance with sunny Indian jasmine and white amber – a scent that’s as unapologetically badass as Max herself.
3. Nancy Wheeler: Stella by Stella McCartney Nancy, the group’s steadfast leader, deserves a fragrance that’s as strong-willed and comforting as she is. Stella by Stella McCartney, with its beautiful blend of rose, peony, and tangerine, captures Nancy’s pretty, preppy, and slightly feisty nature perfectly.
4. Will Byers: Prada Luna Rossa Will, the artistic soul of the group, needs a fragrance that reflects his gentle, creative spirit. Prada Luna Rossa, with its initial citrus burst and aromatic lavender accords, is a calming and versatile scent that matches Will’s optimistic and subtle personality.
5. Mike Wheeler: Sauvage by Christian Dior Mike, the charismatic leader, deserves a cologne as potent and confident as he is. Christian Dior’s Sauvage, with its fresh, spicy, and amber notes, embodies Mike’s bravery, intelligence, and noble spirit. It’s invigorating and inspirational – just like Mike.
6. Lucas Sinclair: Polo Red by Ralph Lauren Lucas, loyal and outspoken, needs a cologne that matches his bold personality. Polo Red by Ralph Lauren, with its blend of citrus, fruity, and amber notes, and a lasting base of coffee and wood, reflects Lucas’s reliability and strong character.
7. Dustin Henderson: Versace Eros Dustin, the curious and intelligent member of the gang, is perfectly suited to Versace Eros. This cologne, with its mix of vanilla and aromatic accords, is as complex and layered as Dustin. Fresh, woody, and slightly oriental notes of mint, green apple, lemon, and geranium make this an impressively unique scent.
Each of these fragrances encapsulates the essence of the “Stranger Things” characters we’ve come to love. From Eleven’s strength and vulnerability to Max’s rebellious spirit, these perfumes and colognes add another dimension to their personalities, bringing the world of Hawkins to our reality.
