Review - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - Venus Obsequens (Lupercalia 2015)

Review - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - Venus Obsequens (Lupercalia 2015)



Description: Pink apple and blackcurrant with honey and cardamom.

In the Bottle: Apples and honey

Wet: Honeyed apples with a touch of cardamom

Drydown: Super honeyed apples

Throw: Medium

Wear Time: 2 hours for a single application.

Verdict: Much to my dismay, the cardamom note disappears on me. I'm not a huge fan of honeyed scents and so without the cardamom to add spice this just smells like a mature apple scent with drizzled honey. The apples make this a very springtime scent. 

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's sample “imp” vial is the standard stoppered 1 ml vial. It came from a decant circle, clearly labeled with an easily readable font.
