Looking for SPYCE scents... Royall Spyce, that is!

[seashell]

Hi, all, I'm very new here. Have ordered a bunch of imps for ME to try...whatever sounded good to me!

Haven't got them yet but I know I will find some winners

 

BUT... nothing for the Man yet. My all-time fave on him is one from Jamaica called Royall Spyce:

 

"Redolent with the scent of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper that arrived from far-off markets by freighter at St. George Harbour. A heady, aromatic blend following a closely-guarded recipe that contains the world’s finest essential oils. Prized for its warmth and most mysteriously manly appeal."

 

I LOOOVE spicy scents and this one just makes me swoon ... however has NO lasting power.

 

What men's/unisex scents would be in this family? Doesn't have to be exact match; (tho that'd be lovely, this isn't a mainstream scent so I won't hold my breath) but MMMmmmMMM spicy! fruit,herbs, flowers at a minimum, just mostly SPICE

And if possible, some that will last a while.

 

Thanks!

First two that come to my mind are:

 

Wrath: A scent aflame with rage, swirling in the red haze of hatred: dragon's blood spiked with black pepper, clove, and cinnamon.

 

Bengal: A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger.

 

Also, these threads might have some ideas for good spicy scents

i want to smell like chai

peppery scents

spiciest BPAL blends

best cinnamon scents

 

 

also try asking in the thread comparing BPAL's to conventional perfumes

I'll second Bengal. I got Wrath because it sounded like a kicked-up Bengal, but to me it smells like fruity Big Red gum.

Just off the top of my head:

 

Port Royal (spiced rum and ship’s wood mixed with the body-warmed trace of a prostitute’s perfume and a hint of salty sea air on the dry-down)

Plunder (tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg)

Port-au-Prince (buttered rum flavored with almond, bay, clove and sassafras)

Silk Road

 

...would probably be good ones to throw into a starter imp pack.

 

Plunder and Port-au-Prince are the most spicy, then Silk Road. Port Royal is the least spicy, but is still very nice (and has a lovely aquatic element).

I second Port Royal and Plunder. You might also want to try Wrath, though it is slightly less butch than the others.

 

WRATH

(Lab says: A scent aflame with rage, swirling in the red haze of hatred: dragon's blood spiked with black pepper, clove, and cinnamon.)

 

 

 

Also, if you can catch Count Dracula on ebay, that is the king of sexy spicey masculine/androgenous scents. Trust me on this.

(Company says: The essence of nobility, brutality and true Will made flesh and propelled through the eons by an ever-burning hatred: black patchouli, neroli, tonka, cinnamon, bitter clove, leather, black musk, coffin wood and fiery ginger.)

[ImperatrixMundi]

Spider came to my mind. White ginger, artemesia, vetiver, nutmeg, King mandarin, bergamot, and lime.

 

It is not a sweet, cinnamon-y spice but more a cologne type scent that starts out fresh, however the ginger and nutmeg give it a lot of spicy warmth. It is more on the masculine side but I love to wear it myself.

 

And has noone said Shub yet?

[vultureguy]

I love Satyr. You won't see anything about spice in the description, Lab description: "Unleash the bawdy, unrestrained passion of the satyr! A ferociously masculine scent: sexual, vigorous, and truly wild." It smells like it's got cinnamon, maybe a touch of clove and a tiny smidge of amber or something sweet?? It was one of the first imps I got and I own a bottle of it now. It's a GC in the Ars Amatoria (formerly Love Potions) sextion I mean section.

Give it a try. You can order just an imp so if it doesn't work you aren't out a lot. Good luck!

[forspecial_plate]

I've never tried the scent you mentioned, but it sounds nice! I do have a couple rec's.....

 

Mr. Jacquel.....you can't buy an imp but might find someone selling a decant. "Golden amber, hyssop, North African patchouli, and embalming spices." A warm, golden and spicy amber scent.....but restrained, too. Very calm on my skin. I've been meaning to get more of this for a while.

 

Baron Samedi......bpal's spin on traditional bay rum. A spicy almond scent, also warm, stronger than Mr. Jacquel. You can buy this one in an imp.

[oakmoss]

You want Crowley. Trust me, you just do.

 

Here are the reviews, if you want anyone else's opinion.

[surlygurl]

Port-au-Prince is spicy, buttery, slightly boozy goodness. It's slightly masculine (but I love it on me in small quantities).

 

Port Royal is more feminine IMHO, but could be great on the right guy. And Mr. Jacquel is golden & smooth with soft spices. Very nice.

[seashell]

OOOooh thank you everyone, for the recommendations!

I am going to try (probablyallofthembut) first:

 

Bengal

Plunder

Silk Road

Port-au-Prince

Crowley

 

CANNNOT WAIT to try these little beauties, ahhhh!

[indicolite]

Remember that you can't get Crowley in an imp from the lab, though!

[dixiehellcat]

Shub! And Samhain, if you can get some from a forumite.

 

And not to pimp somebody's else's goods, but Villainess Soaps Masala is da bomb diggity of spicy goodness.

[vultureguy]
