I have selected the scents I want to try from Black Pheonix Alchemy Lab ([livejournal.com profile] alchemylab).

And I didn't even let myself get through the whole when I was making my final list! here they are, anyway, and Julie how are we ordering? Are you going to send for them all and hope they come for when we are in TO? Anyway, my selections are as follows!

OLD PORT-AU-PRINCE
Dark, decadent and incomparably exotic: the rich scent of buttered rum flavored with almond, bay, clove and sassafras.

ANNE BONNY
Named in honor of the most notorious female pirate to ever set sail. Wicked, cruel, beautiful, intelligent, resourceful and dangerous: a true role model. A blend of Indonesian red patchouli, red sandalwood, and frankincense. A million thanks to Juliana Williamson-Page for inspiration!

BLACK FOREST
This is the captured scent of a cold, moonless night, lost deep within the darkest wood. Haunting and desolate, this scent evokes images of fairy tale tragedy and half-remembered nightmares. Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress.

HECATE
Magnificent three-faced Goddess of Magic, the Dark Moon and the Crossroads. She is the Mother of Witches, and the midnight baying of hounds is her paean. Her compassion is evidenced in her role as Psychopomp for Persephone, and her wrath manifests as Medea's revenge. Deep, buttery almond layered over myrrh and dark musk.

JOLLY ROGER
Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods.

SCHEREZADE
A master storyteller who possessed unfailing courage and compassion, a sharp, quick wit, and a true understanding of human nature. Saffron and
Middle Eastern spices swirled through sensual red musk.


OMEN
Deep, mysterious, and full of dark portents: oakmoss, juniper berry, myrrh and patchouli.

IAGO
Malevolent, dark and shadowy: sinuous black musk, wet leather and vetiver.

OBERON
Orchid, white musk, and bergamot wafting over juniper berries, with a gentle touch of soft, earthy patchouli

THREE WITCHES
Warm cinnamon, husky clove and white pepper.

THE CATERPILLAR
Heavy incense notes waft lazily through a mix of carnation, jasmine, bergamot, and neroli over a lush bed of dark mosses, iris blossom, deep patchouli and indolent vetiver.

MAGUS
An ancient blend, swollen with arcane power: galangal, high john essence, frankincense, cedar, and sandalwood.

I like patchoulli. Does that make me a dirty hippy?

Now, I am going to go take a quick shower, toss together some laundry to be done and head over to my mom's house to help finish getting it ready for sale.

I would love you even more if you smelled like rum.
