Darbla Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'm enjoying The Scent Works "Scherezade" in soap right now, but I wish it were more resiny and "dark". It's got a powdery note that lightens it up. We all have access to frankincense, frankincense & myrhh, nag champa types, amber, and patchouli, but what other scents with a sort of "dark" or maybe even gothic feel are there?

Guest OldGlory Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Peppercorn at BCN. I've made incense with it and it ROCKS. Also outstanding in 464. I used to make CP with it and always sold out with a 2%, but the regulations have changed and now they only recommend at a bit less than 1%. Mind you... the formula has not changed, just the regulations. Dark and sexy if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 You know, AH/RE has a new one called Golden Opium, which is superb OOB. If I could keep my nose out of it, I'd say more. It's deep, with some dark/resinous hints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Orris. It's not resinous but it does impart some of the qualities you mentioned.Another option would be an agarwood based fragrance. An Oud/agarwood mixed with a euphoric citric anise would be interesting.Copal is also a good option.Come to think of it...I think I just my try a blend and see what I can come up with.
