‘In that case,’ said the Dodo solemnly, rising to its feet, ‘I move that the meeting adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic remedies –’
‘Speak English!’ said the Eaglet. ‘I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and, what’s more, I don’t believe you do either!’ And the Eaglet bent down its head to hide a smile: some of the other birds tittered audibly.
‘What I was going to say,’ said the Dodo in an offended tone, ‘was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.’
‘What is a Caucus-race?’ said Alice; not that she wanted much to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything.
‘Why,’ said the Dodo, ‘the best way to explain it is to do it.’ (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.)
First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, (‘the exact shape doesn’t matter,’ it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no ‘One, two, three, and away,’ but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out ‘The race is over!’ and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, ‘But who has won?’
This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said, ‘everybody has won, and all must have prizes.’
Red musk, lemon peel, sugar cane, cassia, white sandalwood, mango, and agarwood.

Bess Perfume Oil
Select Options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageI grieve and dare not show my discontent,
I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,
I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
Since from myself another self I turned.
My care is like my shadow in the sun,
Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be supprest.
Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
For I am soft and made of melting snow;
Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.Inspired by the tragic, ill-fated love of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester. This is our modernization of a 17th-century perfume blend favored by British aristocracy: rosemary, orange flower, grape spirit, five rose variants, lemon peel, and mint.

Low Key Lyesmith Perfume Oil
Out of Stock“Cigarette, sir?”
“No, thank you.”
“You don’t mind if I do?”
“Go right ahead.”
The driver used a Bic disposable lighter, and it was in the yellow light of the flame that Shadow saw the man’s face, actually saw it for the first time, and recognized him, and began to understand.
Shadow knew that thin face. He knew that there would be close-cropped orange hair beneath the black driver’s cap, cut close to the scalp. He knew that when the man’s lips smiled they would crease into a network of rough scars.
“You’re looking good, big guy,” said the driver.
“Low Key?” Shadow stared at his old cellmate warily.
Prison friendships are good things: they get you through bad places and through dark times. But a prison friendship ends at the prison gates, and a prison friend who reappears in your life is at best a mixed blessing.
“Jesus. Low Key Lyesmith,” said Shadow, and then he heard what he was saying and he understood. “Loki,” he said. “Loki Lie-Smith.”
“You’re slow,” said Loki, “but you get there in the end.” And his lips twisted into a scarred smile and embers danced in the shadows of his eyes.
Black clove and cassia flung onto glowing cinders and mingled with slow-dripping poisons.

Top note: pink cinnamon (cassia)
The sugarcane and sandalwood do come out and mellow it a bit, but even after full drydown, it’s basically just a cassia house party on me. My scents spreadsheet says I felt the same way a few years ago. Bummer!

I received a vial of this for free with my order of some Carnival Diabolique scents. I have to say, it has easily become a favorite! After sniffing it for hours, I still don’t know how to aptly describe it. Floral (which is not even my go-to scent profile) with a slightly sweet undertone. More pefume-y than anything I have ever worn, but wildly feminine. The draw of this scent, for me, is it’s naturalness. I almost feel as if I’m a wild girl who’s spent all day in a meadow. Or a girl whose family told her not to go far, but she wandered off anyway. This is a primarily daytime scent for me.
Jar: Strong, strong, strong. Extremely floral.
On *my* skin: I would say it goes from floral–>flowery on the skin. A wispy or ephemeral flower scent. Undertone of vanilla and grass.

First off, I didn’t even order this. I ordered 3 of the RPG scents, and the black phoenix alchemy lab just SENT me 4 extra imp orders of scents. I purchased the Rogue, the Wizard, and the Ranger, plus they scent me 4 random imp scents of my own! Tue Dodo was one of these, and I fucking kid you not, it smells like me in the early 2000’s playing Half Life one as a young boy with my dad standing behind me teaching me how to play. Please, buy this and tell EVERYONE how it reminds you of your past, because it is nothing but beautiful and nostalgic. 10/10, Black Phoenix, you have made me a life time customer, please keep experimenting with the scents and this dodo, because I want nothing more than to continue giving you all my money.

Out of teh vial: The cassia really kicks you in the face with it’s “spice cupboard” smell which made me abit nervous at first. After a couple of whiffs I pick up on the woods
Wet: about teh same as before but the sweet smells start to come out which I am geussing is the sugar and mango.
Dry: woody and cinnamony and a subtle sweetness. Very nice.
