GLASYA
diaboulous,
discontinued

Created in honor of the fiery, vicious Princess of Hell and bloodthirsty general who governs thirty-six legions of infernal warriors. Her lust for bloodshed and manslaughter is matched only by her love of the classical arts and sciences - definitely a woman that we respect. A seething, fiery blend of dragon's blood, deep myrrh, red and black musks, civet and thick red patchouli, glistening with drops of rose and ylang ylang.

In the bottle I just get the patchouli, and I like patchouli so I don't mind. Once it touches my skin it's fiery and loud, like the love child of PHANTOM and SPELLBOUND only with a brush of jasmine (or is that ylang ylang), both so loud on me that I can't actually wear them. Here it only lasts for a few minutes though, then it settles and smooths into animalistic and sexy roses, dripping with lust. Oh man. Ooh yeah. Uh, yeah. Ehrm.

GOTHIC HORROR FROM BLACK PHOENIX ALCHEMY LABS
retail only
Dark Delicacies

Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs presents GOTHIC HORROR (5 ml. bottle). The blueblood of the horror genre. Gothic horror borrows heavily from Victorian Romanticism: a dark, passionate sojourn into emotionally-driven aesthetic experience - reaching through gloom towards a vision of the sublime. Using sprawling, decay-riddled visuals, and lyrical narrative rife with suspense, awe, and dread, these films tell tales of tortured souls, long-buried secrets, rapid descents into depravity and madness, and grasping supernatural beings. Examples: Vampyr, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Phantom of the Opera. Morbidly romantic, thick with murky melodrama, untouched by the centuries, and dust-rimed: Byzantine incense, benzoin, myrrh, bitter clove, spikenard, oud, and ancient balsam.

Oh this is pleaseant. I pre-tested it (on my way home from the post office) when I had a drop of GLASYA on my wrist and together they are PÔTHÔN MÊTÊR's twin sister. I have to test this without the rose influence though. I think this is one I can wear.
