BPAL review #14: Black Pearl

[hippie_chick]

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

From Bewitching Brews

Recieved one free imp with each of my last two orders from the Lab.

Evocative of the sea's unplumbed mysteries. Gentle and lovely, but menacing and profound. Coconut, Florentine iris, hazelnut and opalescent white musk.

In the vial: Predominantly coconut.

On wet: Still coconut but I'm getting more of the florals too... the iris definitely and hi there, musk!

On drydown: Coconut has calmed, and I'll agree with someone on the BPAL forum that said it's dried down to smell almost identical to Coty's Sand & Sable. Remember that one? I used to wear that alot back in the day. I think it was introduced in the early 80s. But Black Pearl is creamier and warmer and I like it lots better.

Overall: Good scent for everyday wear, or even romantic wear. Sexy and tropical. Lasted all day and then some on me still smelling lovely. A keeper.

I was flipping thru the latest issue of High Times and I saw the cutest picture of Adrianne Curry and her Brady boy and I totally thought of you. I tried to find the picture on their website, but all I could find was a less cute picture that had some other guy in it too:
