Old Demons of the First Class!

Hmm.. what about one (or more) of the TAL oils, like Brass Balls for example.

I always feel like a badass when I wear The Black Rider.
"Black leather, oppoponax, tobacco, and black amber."

I also really like the LE from a couple Yules ago But Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light for business situations.
"cistus labdanum, ginger, East Indian patchouli, pimento berry, oakmoss, saffron, smoky vanilla, sage, myrrh, and bitter clove."

Manhattan and Transeo give off understated but potent power and wealth, of the "old money" type. But even though they're aloof and distant, they're approachable, and definitely not aggressive. They're a bit more "conventional" in the work/business appropriate sense.

I also think of Brian's Blue Moon 2009 and Schwarzer Mond (also by Brian). Blue Moon is cold, while Schwarzer Mond is very dark, and both are aloof, a little masculine (but definitely wearable by females), and have immense presence. They're the blends that speak "power" the loudest to me, so these may fit your bill.

Tombeur may work too. It may be too sensual for your purposes, but I think it perfectly represents feminine aggression and dominance!

ETA: I just remembered Voodoo. It also reeks of power!

My personal "careful, I am not to be messed with" scents are Vechernyaya ("three white musks with poppy and patchouli") and Anne Bonny ("Indonesian red patchouli, red sandalwood and frankincense"). The former gives off a very icy vibe on me (I like to describe Vech as my "soap opera villainess scent"), while the latter smells, well, like a female pirate. :D They're both GC, as well, so they're easy to get.

Currently, Wrath is my back the fuck off scent. "A scent aflame with rage, swirling in the red haze of hatred: dragon's blood spiked with black pepper, clove, and cinnamon." (though I just got an imp of Anne Bonny and that might work as such as well!)


I will say, regarding Czernobog.......vetiver seems to have a somewhat, ahem, arousing effect. So, depending. It might be a little less "I'll cut you" and a little more "come frolic in the dark pine forest". Just sayin'.

Come over here and say that. ;)

Hygeia (Salon LE 2011) smacks of feminine empowerment. It has a big presence, but feels aloof and proud and distant, instead of maidenly or sensual. I'd associate it with priestess or goddess. After all, Hygeia is a Greek goddess.

Dragon's bone, and dragon's milk are my two confidence booster scents!

I find Darkness to be a very powerful, 'bow before me'-type scent.
