Yes! This! It's my go-to perfume for interviews and I have gotten every job I've been interviewed at when wearing it
-
I've been trying a few leather scents to find the perfect one, and this comes close for me. Shiny black leather like that of a riding crop, soft, gentle myrrh, and a touch of black amber to balance it out. I almost get a medicinal wipe smell from the amber when I put it on but it quickly blends in with the other notes. Glad I snagged a sample of this and I may get a bottle if it mellows more in the future

Bumping this as I've been using Boomslang as a sleep aide for months now. It's the rice milk/cocoa mix that's doing it. Knocks me right out after I put it on. Lovely comforting and cozy scent

Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume
leira replied to Ina Garten Davita's topic in Recommendations
October, Graveyard Dirt, Potter's Field, A World Where There Are Octobers, Hessian of the Hollow, and Deep in Earth all spring to mind! -
Oils with the strongest throw or sillage - the most noticeable scents
leira replied to lunalight7's topic in Recommendations
Feed Me and Fill Me With Pleasure, Badgers, Blood Popsicle, Mole, Womb Furie, Oakmoss SN, Sumatran Red Patchouli SN, Imaginer, Black Taffeta, Snake Oil, and Gingerbread Satyr all stay on me for Hours! -
I get the lilac water and amber immediately, with the lily of the valley, moss, and violet leaf following. This is blended very well, creating a classic, timeless, albeit sinister scene. Like a lilac bush in full bloom before it decays, or a large dark room with only a beam of sunlight - that you aren't welcome in.
-
Juniper and pine wood smoke with a touch of tobacco and a light chill. Unfortunately this starts turning into a soapy cologne on my skin after a few minutes, but I love the imagery!
-
Sweet, rich brown sugar with wafts of nutty cedar and incense smoke. Dark, heady, and slightly foreboding. This is absolutely wonderful

Found this lovely thread for you - http://www.bpal.org/topic/57946-looking-for-any-harry-potter-scent-recommendations/ That's such a thoughtful idea! ^.^ -
It may be a bit hard to get, but you should try Eve from the Only Lovers Left Alive collection! Eve is eternal: in three-thousand years, she has likely traveled the length and breadth of the world, immersed in innumerable cultures throughout the ages, observing the ebb and flow of humanity and the imperishability of nature itself. Despite her age, she is the character that seems most rooted, always experiencing each moment with open eyes, always fully present. Her scent is one that travels through the eons: the Irish moss, yarrow, and hawthorn of the Iron Age Britons, ancient Rome’s omphacium and honey, myrrh and calamus from Egypt, the frankincense and damask roses of the Florentine Renaissance, white sandalwood from the Far East, Moroccan saffron and rose water, and a swirl of incense from the souks.

Forest & Woods Scents (with and without evergreens)
leira replied to omly's topic in Recommendations
Bumping this a bit because I am missing fall! Loup Garou and Deep in Earth both smell like pine forests to me. And Loup Garou has eucalyptus The LE A World Where There Are Octobers smells like you are walking down a path with maple trees. Also if you are thinking about making your house smell like a damp, fog-filled lair then I would suggest the Tree Roots, Fallen Leaves and Tomb Moss atmo spray. I will definitely be thinking of more! -
Hope you don't mind me bumping this. I found Visions of Autumn III to be a soft, snuggly patchouli. With the bourbon vanilla toning it down I find it to be a perfect blend to wear anytime. ^.^

Very soft, salty, watery musk with a hint of lime. I was worried it would be overly soapy and astringent but it's actually quite nice on my skin. On my partner this is almost like an aquatic version of Dorian. Now that the bottle is almost gone I may have to get a back up. *Edited due to realizing how I DO need this in my life.

In the imp I can definitely smell how strong the ginger is. It reminds me of Shub-Niggurath, with more dark fruits. (There are three gingers in Shub so I suppose it should.) Beautiful dark, spicy, fruity rum (almost smells like wine), but not too boozy, with a spike of black ginger that blends in after a few minutes. Sexy and throw is amazing. May get a bottle of this if I run out of my imp.
