Today I tried my fourth scent from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab: Jezebel from the Ars Amatoria (Love Potions): a gloriously decadent blend of honey, roses, orange blossom and sandalwood.

When I put it on, I smelled orange and honey, although the latter may have been from my shampoo and showergel. I was very excited about the combination, but sadly the initial scent faded rather quickly and then the roses took over. I'm not a fan of flower-scents, so I wasn't thrilled by this. Not a bad smell, but after a promising start it turned out to just not fit me.

So Gluttony is still number one and this one was easily beaten by Dragon's Milk.
Maybe I'll give Blood Kiss another go for the next test...

Second scent from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab: Blood Kiss from the Bewitching Brews... Lush, creamy vanilla and the honey of the sweetest kiss smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk.

Hmmm, this was a very different experience than yesterday's Gluttony. I liked the smell when I put it on, even though I hardly recognized any of the ingredients mentioned. If I had to name it myself, it was more of a wood-scent. Nice and sweet, but it wasn't as strong as I had expected and I didn't walk around in a tiny cloud of yum, like yesterday. In fact it didn't even linger past the early morning, although I think I did catch a sense of the cherries later in the day. Right now I can still smell it on my skin, but I really need to sniffle to know it's there. I'll splash on a little more next time, because I have the feeling there is more to it than what I got today.

Gluttony is still in the lead:)
