BPAL review #13: Nuclear Winter

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.


Limited Edition Yuletide season 2005 scent. Received 5ml bottle, ordered from the Lab.

Annihilation. The ice, desolation and barrenness of nuclear devastation shot through by a beam of radioactive mints.

In The Bottle: Chilly, cold mint. With the tiniest hint of greenness.

On Wet: Ice and chill. It's quite a different scent. Nuclear devastation... well I do picture a vast landscape of ice and snow when I wear this. Barren, no trees anywhere. Just whiteness. And cold.

On Drydown: Mellowed down, stayed true to the scent when wet, at least on me. I had hopes for this one, that it would be an icy, cool mint rather than sugary candy like mint and it didn't disappoint me.

Overall: People mentioned that this is what they'd hoped for "Numb". I too after scoring an imp of that and comparing the two like this one MUCH better. Excellent and I intend to wear this throughout the winter.
