Oozing cactus flesh, creosote, dusty boards, and gruesome globs of blood musk.
-
Leathery wings flapping through billows of incense smoke.

Red sandalwood, myrrh, cinnamon husk, and copal bound with blood, currants, and red wine. Red wine, red sandalwood, hint of cinnamon and copal. This is a very red blend. Incensey, red wine and red sandalwood. Dark and slinky. Good throw and wear length.

Keralan teakwood, Bulgarian rose otto, Himalayan cedar, and oudh. Our Hearts is a heavily oriental rose and cedar. Very sophisticated Oriental blend.

Sweet and smokey.

Pour one of these over it: extra spicy rum fizzed up with ginger beer and garnished with a lime wedge.

Rabbit Moon is an oil of fecundity, shrewdness, swiftness, and cunning. It embodies liminality, rebirth, regeneration, immortality, endurance, cunning, and getting the last laugh. Long green grasses, warm speckled fur, cardamom pod, sweet ambrette seed, caramelized bourbon vanilla, toasted clove, sweetened 3-year aged patchouli, gardenia petals, white sandalwood, nutmeg, and Cambodian oud.

Cleaning House is a blast of fresh air and sunlight, crafted to blast away any residual tension or negativity in your home. Use to anoint purification and home blessing candles, and to anoint areas of the house that feel particularly stagnant or shadowed. This oil contains lime oil, lime rind, lemongrass, angelica, palmarosa, and frankincense.

Ted’s interpretation. The ephemeral romance, the fleeting affair: frankincense and blackcurrant, caramelized black amber, and motia attar.

I have been blithe with comrades dear; I have been merry drinking; I have been joyful gathering gear; I have been happy thinking; But all the pleasures ever I saw, though three times doubled fairly, That happy night was worth them all, among the rigs of barley. The perfume of a harvest celebration - of bonfire smoke, grains and hay, acorns and oak bark, pumpkins and apples, and thin strands of incense buffeted by autumn wind. This, along with Scarecrow Turned Philosopher is like autumn evenings in a bottle. Crisp wind, bonfire smoke, apples and whiffs of pumpkin and grains and hay. Just lovely. Good throw and wear length.

The strongest analogy to me is that Auctoritas is an Aldebaran oil hack. Whereas the Aldebaran oil has will + drive thrown in, Auctoritas gives you that impression of sovereignty without the "doing part". If anyone needs to throw presence around like a brick through a window, Auctoritas helps you with that. If you already have Presence +5, ask yourself if/when you need an additional +10 to your presence rolls though. I would pair Auctoritas with another DA item to ensure that all that presence also doesn't garner unwanted negative attention. Also out of the DA2 items, which all seem to provide protection via stealth, this is the one DA2 item that is not about stealth but instead about commanding the spotlight. (You might struggle to keep your light underneath an invisibility cloak, is all I'm saying! Also be careful with blinding others if you do a reveal).
