I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time

Let's talk fantasy perfume, fellow scent aficionados.

Tell us about a perfume you've always wanted but never been able to find. This can run the gamut from, "I wish I could find a perfume that has X, X, and X notes," to "I wish I could find a perfume that smells the way looking at Cate Blanchett makes me feel inside."

I'm really interested in hearing about the perfumes you wish existed that don't.

I wish I could find a perfume that makes me feel suitably witchy while smelling 0% of sandalwood or any kind of musk.

Perfume makers do seem to always put certain notes together, don't they? It's hard to find one note without the other sometimes.

... could you be more specific about "witchy" (either in terms of any scent notes or what kind of witchiness you're after)? I might have some ideas.

For example, IIRC Lush's The Smell of Weather Turning actually does smell just like the weather immediately before or immediately after a storm, in the British countryside at least. And was originally based on a concept from a witch:

That sounds seriously cool.

Ooooh, that sounds awesome. Note to self! :D

Your profile shows you to be (or have been) a serious Dramione fan; BPAL has a thematically Slytherin-compatible fragrance that doesn't list either of the ingredients you're seeking to avoid:

Ooooh, thank you for the link! That does indeed sound thematically appropriate. XD

Eau Des Mervielles / Elixir Des Mervielles by Hermes potentially? They're some of my favourites, and nary a whiff of sandalwood or musk in sight.

Or Ambre Narguile for a kitchen!witch.
