Scent Name: Silence
Manufacturer: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab – Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2017: Event Exclusive
Scent Description and Notes: “French lavender and white gardenia with Himalayan cedar.“ -https://scentbase.com/scents/black-phoenix-alchemy-lab-bpal/silence/201806030307321259
Oil Color: The color of a very light white wine.
Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a standard vial / imp size (1/32 oz). The label wrapped around the bottle features an Art-Deco inspired phoenix with name of the company next to the phoenix. On the other side, the title of the scent written in large, clear navy block text outlined in teal. The company’s website is printed in smaller font along the outer edge of the label.
Scent:
- ITI: Floral lavender adorned with the clean, high, zesty tones of gardenia. There’s an innocent floral sweetness to this without being overpowering that I do like. The cedar is only detectable at the end of the inhalation.
- Wet: At first, it’s all lavender on the skin, but that quickly shifts to include the polished floral creaminess of gardenia edged with green and a whisper of cedar grounding the gardenia ever so slightly. It certainly causes the sinuses to tingle a little bit, but pleasantly so.
- Dry: Within the fist 5 or so minutes, the gardenia does go high and screechy while the lavender almost smells like lemongrass for some strange reason. After 5 hours, the scent just smells clean and gardenia soapy, but lightly so, maybe with a soft brush of distant cotton-toned cedar at the back.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It starts off soapy and then it goes creamy and maybe a little gasoline-y? But like resins. Vicks, maybe? No, it doesn’t have camphor. Tea tree? No. Just resin-y I guess.” -Tony
