Dirty - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

Let's all pretend we can't see that dead ant.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab


Notes:
A wonderful antidote to an all-nighter oozing with drunken, addled perversion and debauchery. A fresh, crisp white linen scent: perfectly clean, perfectly breezy.

Well, it smells like what it says it smells like - clean laundry. In the vial I get washing powder, a slightly lemony generic floral. Once applied it is more floral than anything else, but there is a fruity note in there somewhere - something like nectarine. I can only catch that note if I bring my wrist up really close to my nose and sniff.

The smell doesn't really change at all. The throw was minimal and within a couple of hours it had disappeared completely.

While I find 'clean' scents inoffensive, I don't really get why people want to walk around smelling like freshly washed laundry. I seem to be in the minority though, as many companies have some version of this scent.

Rating:
2/5 Meh. I don't hate it, but I find it kind of pointless.

Day 8!

  1. I do like the smell of fresh sundried cotton sheets, feels so cozy! But washing powder, NO NO!

  2. I don´t get clean scens either! Why would I want to smell clean, when I can smell dirty in a fabulous way (earth, dirt, moss, decay,...sex)!? Clean is boring!

    1. There are so many versions around so it's obviously popular, but it's not my thing. If I just wanted to smell 'clean' I'd use soap and no other fragrance.

    2. ;) I don´t even want soap to smell of soap... I guess I just have an aversion to that clean soapy smell...

    1. Haha, by the time I realised it was in the photo it was too dark to take another one. Oops!

  4. I like clean scents but this one it wasn't my cup of tea either. I would prefer it in a soap as well.

    1. I guess someone's buying it, since it's been around for years. Lots of clean-smelling people walking around!
