You might look to find September Midnight, one of last year's Halloweenies. The notes are A myrrh-darkened amber chypre sweetened by newly-ripened black pomegranate. I have both and I don't like it as much as HTP, but it would probably be easier to find! You could also layer last year's Yule, The Fruit of Paradise (it only lists one note, and that's The Fruit of Paradise, the Nectar of Death: bittersweet pomegranate), with an amber-heavy scent like Haunted?

Over in the general catalogue, take a look at Obatala! On me it's sweet but not overstated and I'd place it in the same neighborhood as the other scents listed.

Not getting a lot of vanilla, but that's okay, because …

This is Implacable Beautiful Tyrant: the perfume oil. The amber and oud are what's showing up most for me and reminding me so very, very much of my most favorite hair gloss. It's worse than I dared fear: I'm going to need about twenty-nine bottles.

I just know I'm going to hit the fatigue slump hard, so I figured I'd ask while the sun's still shining on this little venture and have a few days for sales forum purchases to wend their way to me. I'm not big on aromatherapy, but I've heard citrus and ginger are good for productivity, so hit me with your best "gettin' shit done" scent recs! My skin's a little too sensitive to wear anything with heavy spices like cassia but other than that I'm open to whatever.

(PS, my heroine's named after the Dragon's Mouth orchid, so orchid recs are also appreciated!)

Do the Ars Draconis GCs use the standard GC label, or do they have a "special" one like Picnic in Arkham, Bow and Crown of Conquest, etc?

AFAIK most of them look like this:

Thanks! I took a walk through your Flickr trying to see if I could find it, but must've missed it. Awesome!

You could try Touched Twice, too! It's in a similar "camp" to Raptures and Roses for me, though a bit simpler. I like coconut and can wear it, and I had wished it was more prominent in that blend, but it might work for you.

In the Forest, from the 2012 Bards of Ireland.

Lemon verbena while wet. Half an hour later it's smoky incense. It's been about four hours since application now and it's very faint, but still an entrancing sort of wood smoke near the skin. Not something I'd have ever chosen for myself, but an unexpected hit.

Thanks for the suggestions. Like I said, I'm still brand new to much of this, so it's going to take me a while to get the hang of this whole shindig

 

I will definitely keep an eye out for these mentioned (and if anyone has imps they'd like to sell me, by all means, lemme know)

 

The more I think about it, the more I think of a deep/dark fruit with a musk or amber layered on that heavy cream note. I guess my search begins!

For creaminess, Agrat-Bat-Mahlaht (amber, cream accord, white honey, apple blossom, skin musk, caramel, and teak)? No dark fruits in there, but definitely the first thing that springs to mind. You will have to brave the sales pages for it, though! Maybe Prunella (Ripe purple plums, wildflowers, and cream).

Does anyone have pics of the Our Lady series?

 

 

the labels have the icon from website or from announcement on them~~ I cannot figure out how to add photos since I do not have a flickr or other sort of online hosting for my photos but I took one of the water snake just now :C

You can always upload images for free at imgur.com!

Haha, I actually like the same scent myself, but it's not something I've found in my BPALs so far. For "exhaust" type scents, you might try Smokestack in the Phoenix Steamworks collection? It smells properly gritty to me.
