    Luna Azul 2023

    Ted’s interpretation. The ephemeral romance, the fleeting affair: frankincense and blackcurrant, caramelized black amber, and motia attar.

    Corn Riggs

    I have been blithe with comrades dear; I have been merry drinking; I have been joyful gathering gear; I have been happy thinking; But all the pleasures ever I saw, though three times doubled fairly, That happy night was worth them all, among the rigs of barley. The perfume of a harvest celebration - of bonfire smoke, grains and hay, acorns and oak bark, pumpkins and apples, and thin strands of incense buffeted by autumn wind. This, along with Scarecrow Turned Philosopher is like autumn evenings in a bottle. Crisp wind, bonfire smoke, apples and whiffs of pumpkin and grains and hay. Just lovely. Good throw and wear length.

    Auctoritas

    The strongest analogy to me is that Auctoritas is an Aldebaran oil hack. Whereas the Aldebaran oil has will + drive thrown in, Auctoritas gives you that impression of sovereignty without the "doing part". If anyone needs to throw presence around like a brick through a window, Auctoritas helps you with that. If you already have Presence +5, ask yourself if/when you need an additional +10 to your presence rolls though. I would pair Auctoritas with another DA item to ensure that all that presence also doesn't garner unwanted negative attention. Also out of the DA2 items, which all seem to provide protection via stealth, this is the one DA2 item that is not about stealth but instead about commanding the spotlight. (You might struggle to keep your light underneath an invisibility cloak, is all I'm saying! Also be careful with blinding others if you do a reveal).
  6. Brittle smoked vanilla lace with yellow champaca, white cognac, davana, white amber, and chamomile.

    Sphinx Skin

    “A gleaming black leather cocoon engulfed in a garnet-tinged haze of dragon’s blood smoke, black vegetal musk, fossilized amber, 3-year aged patchouli root, and smoldering incense.” Please note: this oil contains Daemonorops draco resinoid. Please roll the bottle in your palms or shake gently before use.

    Tomie

    A seductive and deceptively delicate blend of rose-tinted white sandalwood, ethereal white amber, voluptuous almond blossom, coeur de jasmin, and a gasp of bourbon vanilla.

    Assassin

    Supple black leather, poison-tipped daggers, and a garrote soaked in pitch.

    Dragon Bell Z

    If you liked it then you shoulda put a bell on it: dragon’s blood and frankincense resins, sugared violets, blackberry pulp, and blackcurrant.

    Elegant Couple at the Coast

    Vanilla taffeta and wild strawberry caught in a sea-salted gust of coconut, rhubarb, red currant, white musk, pink amber, almond milk, Siamese benzoin, and sea orchid with a hint of tonka, sweet patchouli, and honeyed leather.

    Blue Moon 2023

    Mugwort and bay, for psychic sensitivity… Juniper, for divination through dreams… Lavender and almond oil for clarity and relaxation… Orchid and purple sage for complexity, wisdom and noscere… …with a potent lunar-charged blend of exquisite woods, moonflower, Madagascan ylang ylang, Florentine iris, starry bergamot, elemi, green tea absolute, palmarosa, cucumber, Clary sage, lettuce leaf, melilot trefoils, and wood aloes.

    Mega-Sized Chocolate Bar

    I bet you can still remember all the addresses of everyone who gave out the full-size chocolates on Halloween when you were a kid.

    Unclench

    For a helping hand in headache relief, particularly tension headaches: eucalyptus, peppermint, and lemon.

    Blue Cotton Candy Moon

    Lilith may be a teenager now, but her love of sweet scents has not dimmed at all. Blue cotton candy, crystalline white flowers, and moonlit white musk.
