In the (4-5 y.o) imp: Green and quite sharp, almost bitter. Maybe something mossy? Wet: This sweetens up pretty quickly on me – I’m getting mostly birch with some maple, moss and something flowery. I don’t pick up much cypress or pine. Dry: The florals come out a lot more as it dries. I’m pretty sure I recognise the toadflax, and there’s a little bit of violet; some of the flowers I can’t identify are a bit high pitched and sharp (or is that the moss? I have no idea). It lasts easily 7 hours or more on me, and sometimes a trace is still there the next day. Overall it’s quite a lovely spring scent, but I remember it being pretty sharp and headachey when I first got it. I do really like what it’s aged into, but the cypress and pine weren’t ever noticeable like I might have hoped, and you’d want to be a flower fan to really enjoy this one.

Maybe Cleric from the RPG line? I get a lot of ylang ylang and hyssop out of that one: Rose amber, frankincense, myrrh, champaca flower, Peru balsam, cistus, palisander, cananga, hyssop, and narcissus absolute. Palisander's a kind or rosewood, so it might be similar, especially if it's layered with something with spruce or coconut. Maybe Ochosi for the spruce? I've never tried the original one, though, so this could be totally off base .

Hi, welcome to the forum! Might I suggest: Aizen Myoo: Yuzu, kaki, and mikan with cherry blossom and black tea. Akuma: Devilish temptation, as sweet as sin: blood orange, neroli, and raspberry. Azathoth: tangerine, saffron, vetiver, black amber and cedarwood. Schrodinger's Cat: tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint. Xiuhtecuhtli: Copal, plumeria and sweet orange and the smoke of South American incense and crushed jungle blooms. Zephyr: Lemon, lemon verbena, neroli, white musk, white florals, white sandalwood, China musk, bergamot and a drop of vanilla. Aizen Myoo might not be what you're after, but it's the brightest citrus I've found. Akuma's very sweet and candyish orange, and Schrodinger's Cat is quite citrusy but unusual. Xiuhtelolwut and Zephyr are sort of creamy citrus to me, and I've never tried Azathoth, but it sounds interesting. Hope this helps somewhat

Hi These are some ideas that came to mind for your characters, but keep in mind I've only tried one of them Ozymandias (bewitching brews): Dry desert air, dry and hot, passing over crumbling stone megaliths and plundered golden monuments, bearing a hint of the incense of lost Gods on its winds, or maybe Omen, (bewitching brews): Deep, mysterious, and full of dark portents: oakmoss, juniper berry, myrrh and patchouli. The Steamworks category is worth a look for this, but particularly: Robotic scarab: Polished metallic notes, glossy leather, frankincense, star anise, and thin lubricating oils. Smokestack: Creosote, coal, and industrial waste. The only cold scent I've tried is Kumari Kandam: Thick incense, clay, stone, and hothouse blooms with a spike of frost, a hint of decay, and heavy, dolorous aquatic notes. This is cold for me, and I don't really notice the floral, so it could be worth a try. I think there are also some snowy scents in the salon category. I noticed also that in the newbie mixer you mentioned a library type scent? I like Dee for that, which is leather, rosewood, parchment and incense; Aziraphale and Miskatonic University might be worth a try, too. Hope this helps!
