Excellent perfumes and scents: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab   Just got a few of the RPG line ones in the imp ear size.  Favorite so far is a blend of Ranger (foresty) and Orc (leathery).  I find the descriptions very accurate.  The Bow and Crown of Conquest  in the Sin and Salvation line is also good, especially for a man. (you’ll have to scroll down a bit).
