Anyone familier with Wode by Boudicca?

[SashaTheStrange]

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...

Wow! I love Wode. I will give it a good sniffing and then do some BPAL comparisons...now I'm curious!

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?

Oh yes...I will say that it IS fun. But...very 'spensive. Still working on the comparisons...ugh. So many imps, so little time!

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!
