If you like the smell of books, but would like some more mystifying and elusive, maybe you should try out something from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.
Based in California, they describe themselves as ‘perfume alchemists’—specializing in the brewing of aromatic oils and perfumes inspired by various fantasy storybooks, films, television programs and games.
They carry perfume blends from various sources such as ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘Hellboy’, Shakespeare novels, ‘Fraggle Rock’ and many others.
According to the lab, they aim to create perfumes that are not only dark, romantic, and sexual but also scents that capture “legends and folklore, poetry, and the stuff of dreams and nightmares.”
