sooo, babies soon
I just got my shipping confirmation from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab for my Crowley and Aziraphael scents and ooooh I'm so excited. marinatempest was a doll and let me whiff her collection last night, which I must say is really substantial (though I've heard tale it is NOTHING to sihaya09's menagerie). I fell in love with The Dormouse from The Mad Tea Party and, when I have the moolah, I will acquire this as well as either Bilquis or Mama-Ji from Neil Gaiman's "The Carousel". Flissy also sent me home with an imp's ear of Salome which is veeerrrryyyy yummy.
In the car ride home from bellydance class, kazoogrrl mentioned how she could never get into BPAL, as it would spell her doom (and would suck her money dry)...
War- from Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens"
She finished the drink, hefted the sword over one shoulder, and looked around at the puzzled factions, who now encircled her completely. 'Sorry to run out on you, chaps,' she said. 'Would love to stay and get to know you better.'
The men in the room suddenly realized they didn't want to know her better. She was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful: something to be admired from a distance, but not up close.
And she held her sword, and she smiled like a knife.
Red ginger, black spices, patchouli, honeysuckle, and three blood-soaked red musks.
Customer Review:
The label is a woman's face, smiling wickedly. She has long, red hair.
In the bottle: a mishmash of patchouli/spice/musk with a piping note of honeysuckle.
Wet: oh, my. This is gonna be a good one. The ginger is making its presence known, with everything else lying coiled beneath it.
Dry: Round, warm velvety red musks and red ginger, with a gentle patchouli. The honeysuckle sweetens it, but floral-haters, don't be afraid. Not foody, not floral. Spicy and round, rich.
There is something indolent, cat-like about this. It's a lioness who could lay you open from neck to groin, if she wanted, but for now she'd prefer to roll on her back and bask in the sun. For now.
sighhhh... must I have ANOTHER addiction?
