    Recommend the most herbal scents, please

    Thank you, so many reactions! I had a quick read on the forum on all the scents. Of course Heinous Hedge Maze was the one that sounded amazing. I don't live in the states, but a friend is visiting, so I prefer to order just one set from the lab. Bayou sounds good, though maybe a bit too aquatic for me. I tried Jolly Rogers and I disliked that one strongly on my skin. Maybe worth a try though? Anyone else have more suggestions? The wood scent I am looking for is more deep/dark/woodsy, and not so much incense. I have a very strong picture in my head what it is supposed to smell like but it is hard to describe. When I was a child I found a piece of strange wood in the forest and it smelled divine. Warm, of some fragrant woody smell, dry, with some thing that made it smell like there were spices without actually smelling like a certain spice. A spicy fragrant bark smell? I kept it for years, smelling it. I never found the source of the tree, nor have I ever found a piece of wood like it. Alecto sounds good, I think I will give it a try. More, more!

    Good day to you all! I have been on a quest for both a woody scent, and also a green scent. I have also tried out quite some BPAL oils, and extensively browsed the forum, but none of it was exactly what I was looking for. Of course the scents were lovely, and I have found many scents I adore, but none that fit in these categories. I hope that you oil-fanatics with more experience could help me out on this one. For the woody scent: More the woods of cedar and sandalwood than sea sprayed ships and wooden legs, or murky mossy forests (Though I guess that would be an excellent green scent.) I have looked at many of the middle eastern scents, but all of them have musks or almonds or honey. What I am looking for is very heavy on the fragrant woods, dry and warm. Something exotic and sensual, with maybe a hint of spices. For the green scent: I am not looking for a pine scent! I tried Dracul, but it was too sharp and too much pine. This one is a bit difficult to explain, I don't exactly want to smell like crushed plants, more a intriguing scent that smells "green", reminds of green. Like a potion or a spell based on herbs. Many many years ago (when things still came in blue vials) I ordered an imp of Belladonna, and I loved it. Loved it! Something similar, but maybe a bit darker would be great. The only problem I had with the beautiful lady called Belladonna was that she choose to depart too soon every time she visited (faded fast). Any recommendations for green scents with more staying power? It should not be too sweet, though a hint is allowed, nor should it smell like fruits or berries. Could have some flowers. Something mossy? Roses amp on my skin, so any any recommendations with rose would have to have tiny baby roses, growing in the neglected far back of the garden, please. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
