Please don’t say body odor haha

Hi! I'm looking for a budget-friendly witch inspired perfume with notes of frankincense, amber, opium, or other notes that fit those vibes including floral. I want to feel like I just got done burning incense and crushing herbs and flowers for a spell.

I do lean towards the sweeter side if that makes a difference.

I was recommended Amber Fusion after complimenting someone with the exact scent I'm looking for, but they were very unsure what perfume they were wearing. Plus seeing the notes for it afterward makes me think it wasn't the correct perfume.

I really love Light blue by Dolce Gabanna, but want to try something more complex, citrus and fresh like a ghust of summer wind

And I really hate distinctly floral perfume 😶‍🌫️

I hope there's something that I can find in Europe

LOTR is one of my all time favorite movies ever - from the experts, which perfume would each one of our leading ladies wear??

no wrong answers

i don’t know the name of the flower but it’s one of my favorite smells ever

Perhaps something that calls you to the sea. Something that reeks of a rust-laden harpoon. Self-destructive, abyssal and worthy of obsession. Needs to be more than just oceanic. It also needs a note of vengeance. And probably some ambergris because uh, whales.

i had such a crush on her as kid

Not necessarily what she actually wears/ wore, but what most matches the vibe of her and her music

I use the cosrx birch sap lotion and I love the smell. It smells like the photos and I would love a fragrance that is similar. Who doesn’t want to smell like a worm??

Clean laundry. Clean person. Something underneath with character, but you couldn't say what.

A smell like a pleasant smile from a good-looking, yet austere stranger. Maybe a friendly librarian, an archivist, a priest of the non-creepy variety. Someone with a quiet, self-assured presence and some vague authority. A bit bookish and not entirely in this world, but in a good way.

However, you immediately forget the face. Not because they were unremarkable per se, but because they gave you nothing to hold onto. Just a faint memory of a generalized person in their role.

Had a sample of LAVS, which goes into the direction I'm aiming at, but maybe there's something else out there?

Haunted, nostalgic, ethereal, pretentious girl who is perpetually dissociating. Made this as part of starting self-concept and identity work in therapy :')

something sweet and gourmand perhaps? Maybe a little fruity?

It's me. I'm the weird aunt. I get you seltzers at concerts but also hand you a water and a pedialyte packet and wet wipes for the portapotty. Go have fun, kid!
