Aviatrix Report post Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Right now my favs are: The Solider Herr Drosylmeyer Totentanz Black Rider Lampedes (One of these things is not like the others. ) If you like leather, I can warmly recommend trying the Steamworks scent Tarasque. It's a soft, spicy leather Oh, and I forgot to add, Picture Books in Winter has a little bit of the same feel as The Soldier, in that it is a bit of leather + a warm overtone of caramel.

keileya Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Okay, I'll bite. My top 5 are: Snake Oil Brisingamen Hymn to Proserpine Bette Noir Mouse's Long and Sad Tale Honorable mention to I am Tired of Tears and Laughter, my sleeping oil. Of those, I've only smelled (and loved) Brisangamen, but if you like that, you might also like Bastet, Bengal, or Anubis. Share this post Link to post
JasminDreams2010 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 top 5 here lately: (Been awhile since I've bought btw!) Illustrated Woman Banded Sea Snake Coyote Haunted Rapture and Roses of Love I'm just guessing but you might like to try voodoo, or the apothecary, or alcie from the GC. For the amber/musk combo in haunted you might like bptp eldritch dark Share this post Link to post

Dorian and Kumiho both have delicate tea notes, and several of those have lighter musk notes. Have you tried Smut or Lust? If so how did those work on you? Share this post Link to post

I would also second Pumpkin Queen because I love it and I wish more people would wear so I could smell it more. You might also try Bien Loin D’Ici, it's GC and it's similar to Smut without the Patchouli and dirtiness. Share this post Link to post

Lady_Fire Report post Posted May 18, 2014 I'm new to BPAL, but my top 5 so far are 1. Mouse's Long and Sad Tale 2. Le Serpent Qui Danse 3. Nocturne 4. The Lion 5. Lilac Wood 6. Cottonmouth ---> sorry, coudnt resist adding a 6th! Share this post Link to post
Circaea Report post Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Currently: -Jazz Funeral -Santo Domingo -Creepy ('08, I think) -Ephemera -Santa Muerte It sounds like you need Elegba, to go with your themes. Along the lines of Santa Muerte, Flowering Chrysanthemums is a great mum scent. Perversion and Havana are must-try's for the booze/tobacco thang. Ephemera is a discontinued violet/floral combo. Maybe Time Does Not Bring Relief. For Creepy, perhaps Punkie Night. You might also give Incubus a try: it's caramel, tobacco, musk and mint. ETA: oh, and for some reason I thought of Mata Hari. (Maybe it's just your username that's giving me an old-fashioned Vamp vibe.) Oh, and Wanda - wine and leather. Edited May 18, 2014 by Circaea Share this post Link to post

MammaJamma Report post Posted August 12, 2014 I am new to BPAL, only a few months in. I have tried about 30 scents and my top 5 are Snake Oil (have already ordered 2 5mls) Morocco(same, ordered two I know, I'm crazy) Alice O Bliss I would love to have some other recs before I get my next imp order together! Sorry to the previous poster because I feel I'm too new to recommend . Share this post Link to post
Aviatrix Report post Posted August 12, 2014 If you like Alice you might like Maiden, Fae or Mouse's Long and Sad Tale Velvet and Vice are other chocolatey scents that, while not exactly like Bliss have some of the same vibes nonetheless. Share this post Link to post

Sorry to the previous poster because I feel I'm too new to recommend . I would try Scherezade. Its similar enough to Morocco and SO that I think you'll like it (I love all 3!). You may also like Mouse's Long and Sad Tale, Lyonesse, Eat Me, The Black Rider or Hollywood Babylon. Share this post Link to post
