Neutral - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab


Details: 
Neutral
The RPG Series
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

Notes: 
A flawless skin musk. 

We all know that some perfumes can evoke strong feelings. In the vial, Neutral almost smells like nothing. It's well-named, actually. On the skin it's kind of like a really mild soap, but as soon as I applied it I started to feel weirdly uncomfortable and creeped out. It was the strangest thing. The scent doesn't change at all from wet to dry. It smelled clean and soapy and should have been completely inoffensive and a bit dull, but I just kept having this weird urge to get it off me. After a couple of hours I was tired and wanted to go to bed but I couldn't bring myself to go with this perfume still on me so I scrubbed it off. And then I felt shuddery and strange, like I'd just barely missed walking into a massive spider web or found out a plane I'd missed had crashed.

It occurred to me later what made me feel uneasy about this perfume - to me, it smells exactly how I'd imagine a serial killer to smell.

  1. That is about the most interesting scent review I've ever read! I would like to try it just to see exactly how it plays out, even if it's totally disturbing. It's true though, some scents just give you a visceral reaction for no apparant reason. Eau de serial killer...how fascinating!
