Smiling Melancholy by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

Smiling Melancholy

By: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

General Notes

  • cashmere woods
  • heliotrope
  • rose
  • tonka bean
  • white musk

There was a coldness, it seemed to me, beyond her years, in her smiling melancholy persistent refusal to afford me the least ray of light. Distant, enigmatic, shadowed: delicate heliotrope and pale rose petals, muted and soft, resting atop a chilly, intimate base that blends white musk, cashmere woods, and a touch of tonka bean.
