beelikejLast year I focused on the chocolatey scents of The Black Phoenix Alchemy Laboratory (aka Bpal;) this time I ordered some honey based imps. From the Bewitching Brews series I tried Kill-Devil: sugar cane, molasses, oak wood, and honey. (Rum punch)
I was a little apprehensive about the mention of rum, since I usually avoid links with alchoholic beverages as the smell alone will give me a headache, but to my surprise it didn't bother me. The overwhelming scent is very sweet with a strong undercurrent of honey. It's a heartwarming and reminds me of raisins (I'm guessing because of the association with rum 'n raisins, a common combination of flavours; it's probably rum I'm smelling;). On me it's mostly the molasses that lingers. I approve.
