A plastic cauldron filled with green tea-infused white chocolate, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.

Lustrous maraschino cherry fangs illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber.

Now with more snoot. All the sugared incense you can shake a wing at with double the leather and a dollop of thick, inky black musk.

An ode to the BPAL bat: lavender-dusted auburn fur, a drop of hops, Roman chamomile, hay absolute, ambrette seed, and sun-warmed leather.

Pink grapefruit and black licorice

Positively incendiary: scorched pumpkin rind and petrol.

Deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, brown leather, and dark spices.

Spiced rum, tobacco absolute and leather, caramelized tonka, chardonnay, and black musk.

White tea, black carnation, Damask rose, indigo musk, and leather.

A leathered up, musky interpretation of BPAL’s Antique Lace: dry flowers, aged linens, and the faint breath of long-faded perfumes with well-worn leather and caramel musk.

Black narcissus, orange blossoms, vanilla bourbon, red leather, and red musk.

Leathery wings flapping through billows of incense smoke.

A gift from the goblins – thirteen autumnal notes deepened by bitter cacao: red sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, pine needle, green cardamom, saffron, nutmeg, pumpkin rind, black fig, myrrh, tobacco absolute, guiac, cognac, and oakmoss.

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.
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).
