Scent Name: The Scottish Princess
Manufacturer: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab – Liliths 2019
Scent Description and Notes: “
Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood.
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murd’ring ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature’s mischief. Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark
To cry “Hold, hold!”
This year, Lilith was cast as Lady Macbeth in one of her Shakespeare group’s productions, and she fell in love with the part. She also takes the Scottish Curse VERY seriously, and god help you if you say “Macbeth” anywhere near her unless you’re running lines with her – I can’t tell you how many times she made me spin and spit during those months of rehearsals. Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
A cherry bomb of guilt-crusted blood, black clove, red roses, and sweet black musk.” –https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/in-memoriam/liliths/lilith-2019/the-scottish-princess-perfume-oil/
Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a 1/32 imp via. decant. The label features the name of the scent in a monster-stylized bold black font. Beneath that in thin typographic font is the name of the collection and year, Liliths 2019. The label art for the bottle is as follows:
Scent:
- ITI: A red-tinted clove in the imp, watery in tone at first, that gives way to a fiery rosed clove, edged with musk. There really only is a suggestion of cherry here underneath the dominant clove.
- Wet: Ooh, what a lovely deep, black clove, so black it’s almost peppered, over blood red roses and an incense-skewed sweet black musk. This is every inch a scent worthy of Lilith playing Lady Macbeth – intense, assertive, and unmistakable.
- Dry: This has suck beautiful glowing clove throw throughout the work day. Even after 9 hours, while faint, the clove still lingers, rose and musk touched. I do regret not getting more than an imp, but I was worried about the cherry note being artificial. Instead, it just lightly augments the redness of the rose without being cloying.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It smells like the sponge docks.” -Tony
