Mm. I've completely fallen in love with Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs' perfume oils. Good stuff, but way too pricey for me to wear as often as I like.

My current favorites:
"Whip" - big wet roses and black leather. I always wear this when I scene with my boy, and sometimes just to feel sexy.
"Bliss" - pure fudge brownie. Excellent pick-me-up.
"The Rose" - Blooming, fresh cut rose, with sap and earth and everything. My signature.
"Miskatonic University" - Old books, oakwood, and Irish coffee. Mostly coffee. I dab this on my boy from time to time, and on myself when I'm lounging around the house.

Sure, I'll Dungeon Master for you. Do you like Eberron? ...oh. That kind of dungeon.

Is it just me or do Theatre Majors make excellent play partners?

I guess it depends on who you are wearing the fragrance for. I have seen several studies that indicate the fragrances most preferred by men are cinnamon, vanilla, lavender and Frankincense. Any perfume that has those scents would be a top choice.

If someone really loved me, they would fetch this, for me:

Habanita, by Molinard, is a one-of-a-kind scent I have loved. It smells sensual, edible, inviting. It inspires gently biting someone's skin.

*Don't be fooled by the top notes, as it's not a fruity scent.

"A rich floral-oriental parfum with fruity top notes of bergamot, orange flower and peach, floral heart notes of rose, jasmine de Grasse and ylang-ylang on base notes of sandalwood, vanilla, oak moss, vetiver, ambergris and leather, classified F1f."

It even has the most beautiful flacon designed by Lalique, the black crystal bottle with a frieze of nudes encircling it, and a gold cap. I ran out some time ago. I recently discovered that Molinard, for some reason, had "reformulated" the scent, in recent years. The scent was created in 1921, and I can't find any explanation as to why they changed it. Reviews of the scent in its new form sounded disheartening.

I wondered how I could find or get reproduced, the scent in the form I originally loved, ~ and just as quickly as I asked it, I discovered that Molinard had done a special reissue of several of their classic scents!

That first link above, is to Habanita, reissued in its classic formula. Voilà!

Now, if I could just afford it!
