    Help Me Choose A Scent For A Character

    Balame, I LOVE the sound of Blacker Than The Raven Wings of Midnight, Darkness, Oblivion, Queen Mab, and Our Lady of Pain. Thank you so much for your reply! Sidenote: I really shouldn't post when I'm tired. LOL, I'm looking at all the spelling and grammatical errors I made last night and cringing.

    Help Me Choose A Scent For A Character

    Hey all, I've been trying to figure out the kind of scent a character in a paranormal story (think vampires and werewolves) I'm writing (really still in the thinking stage, less the writing one) would wear. I have gone and tried nearly every perfume and cologne I could think of, high end and deparment ones alike, and I just haven't found the right one. She's definiely a night person - she finds the day too harsh and bright. She loves nature - flowers, plants, and animals in particular She has some measure of psychic power I still haven't decided whether she's going to be a redhead or brunette, if that matters She has some close friends who are her family, and she looks after them as such She's a warrior poet - skilled in both classical (painting and music) arts and various marial arts and weaponry She adores various literature and is never without a book of poetry or some epic story She is also a lover of modern technolgy - embracing both what is current and what can and should be She's very powerful, but humble about it She's very pragmatic, perhaps born of the fact that she's extremely old and has seen eons on this earth Although she has seen so much in her life (led armies, ruled as a queen and goddess, saw civilizations rise and fall), she never ceases to find joy and wonderment in the world and people around her She loves traveling and exploring different cultures She's very beautiful and quitely seductive with piercing eyes - not the flashy glamour of a peacock - She has the beauty of a quiet predetor, moving with grace and strength, confident and sure of herself. Help!

    Anyone familier with Wode by Boudicca?

    Herb Girl, I want to thank you again for helping me out. I'm gonna keep searching as well. I found plenty of scents with hemlock, plenty with oakmoss, etc. Just haven't found one w/ the right combo of ingredients. And I totally agree about the imps. Lol, I'm still on the "Compilation of the Grandmother of All Imp Wishlists" stage...although I am expecting my first package of Smell Good Stuff to come in about a week or so...yay!

    Anyone familier with Wode by Boudicca?

    Herb Girl, Thanks so much! I'm absolutely in love with Wode but can't justify the expense of it at the moment. Although...wouldn't a spray can full of intoxicating magic blue paint be fun?

    Anyone familier with Wode by Boudicca?

    Hey all, I've just discovered bpal via the Long Hair Community (as usual...I end up spending hours looking at those boards and the various products that are mentioned, lol). Anyhow, while I do plan to sample a TON of bpal scents (already have a list started), I was hoping someone could help me find a bpal scent similar to Wode by Boudicca. www.luckyscent.com describes Wode as the following: "Wode opens with spices and green – coriander, cardamom, clary sage and juniper berries. There is clean earth and a hint of flowers and ocean and it all seems quite brisk and pleasant, until the black hemlock kicks in, bitter and unsettling and hopelessly attractive. A stroll in the woods becomes a trek through a primeval forest with a few glowing yellow eyes peering at you from the shadows. A dark and ethereal swirl of resins and animalic notes dances around a heart of leather and musk and there is an intriguing undercurrent of something raw and untamed, softened by a soft whisper of sweetly narcotic tuberose. The overall impression is not heavy – but airy and elemental, like the landscape after a fierce and cleansing storm. Iconoclast perfumer Geza Schoen (of Escentric Molecules fame) has taken his inspiration from the scent of raw opium and, to be frank, we don’t have a lot of experience with that, but we do find this unique blend appropriately addictive. It reminds us of wet stone, and the way rain unlocks mysterious scents from the earth -- imagine dancing around Stonehenge while thunder rolls through the sky. The inspiration is ancient, but the scent itself is very modern–unusual, intriguing, and subtle enough to make it easy to wear, for both men and women." Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated as I've hopelessly fallen for this scent but it's not very kind to the pocketbook...
