Hi! I've been doing BPAL since 2010, so I've tried a few. Or maybe more than a few... ;)

Church incense: Penitence, Cathedral

Citrus: Embalming Fluid (A light, pure scent: white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon.), Carnal (Bold, bright mandarin paired with the sweet, sensual earthiness of fig.)

You might also like Arcana ( Frankincense, rosemary, lavender, neroli, and verbena) or Nephilim ( Holy frankincense and hyssop in union with earthy fig, defiled by black patchouli and vetiver, with a chaotic infusion of lavender, cardamom, tamarind, rosemary, oakmoss and cypress).

btw - If you're interested in getting a ton of recommendations, there's a discussion board -- BPAL.org -- that has tons of recommendation threads. If you want to start there, I strongly suggest starting with the short guide, which has links to threads by note.

If you join the board, you also have access to the sales and swaps section, where you can frequently get samples ("imps") of the scents you're looking for at considerably less than retail.
