beelikejI already tried two oils from my new sample collection of the BlackPhoenixAlchemyLab!
As I posted earlier I received four extra scents next to the six I ordered and wasn't sure with which to start. After![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
albeitslowly praised the amber components in one of the surprise scents, I decided to begin with Aglaea from the Excolo series. Its ingredients are: three golden ambers, bright musk, peach wine and myrtle.
I had to do some research to figure out what myrtle is (a plant) and I am still not quite sure what the basis of amber is (do I even want to know?), but the whole combination smells delicious! From the first sniff of the vial to dabbing it on my skin and all through the day the musky scent kept wooing me. It's a little dark and sweet and it fits perfectly with my honey based showergel, shampoo and Honey Suckle body powder. I'm in love.
I had high expectations for the next scent I tried, for some reason I thought Dirty from the Sin and Salvation series would be in the same league as Stinky, a limited edition scent I adored last year (I still have a tiny bit left;)
Dirty was summarized as: "a wonderful antidote to an all-nighter oozing with drunken, addled perversion and debauchery. A fresh, crisp white linen scent: perfectly clean, perfectly breezy."
Of course I would never need that antidote because I'm a pristine woman whoonly dreams wouldn't dream of such nights, but the description of the scent did appeal to me.
Unfortunately it did exactly as promised: it smells like laundry detergent! Not a bad smell per se, but I associated it with the barf-bucket mom would put next to our bed when we were sick; that too smelled of detergent. It was the sweetest smelling bucket, but I do not wish to be reminded of it. So, if anyone is still interested in the scent after this lovely reference, the vial is available for anyone else to try;)
