Seven Word Story: Lust Perfume Oil
$26.00
Quoth one of the wordiest humans who ever lived: “Brevity is the soul of wit.”
This spring we challenged friends and fans to answer that call, baring their souls (and more) in our steamy, Lust-themed #BPAL7wordstory contest
“Seduce us in seven!” we demanded, promising the winning story would be enshrined in a Limited Edition fragrance. The response was overwhelming — and downright filthy. Over eight hundred entries later, Lust found its new champion. The winning story, submitted via Twitter by @GeekDame, took flight in our perfumer’s imagination and resulted in the following myth-tinged tryst.
Congrats to the winner, and keep your quills sharp! #BPAL7wordstory is only getting started.

Chthonic incense and blood-red pomegranate.

Aperotos Eros Perfume Oil
Select OptionsStrong as death, and cruel as the grave,
Clothed with cloud and tempest’s blackening breath,
Known of death’s dread self, whom none outbrave,
Strong as death,Love, brow-bound with anguish for a wreath,
Fierce with pain, a tyrant-hearted slave,
Burns above a world that groans beneath.Hath not pity power on thee to save,
Love? hath power no pity? Nought he saith,
Answering: blind he walks as wind or wave,
Strong as death.Unloving love: benzoin, Indian musk, massoia bark, myrrh, ambrette seed, galbanum, bergamot, and fir.

Bien Loin D’Ici Perfume Oil
Select OptionsThis is the house, the sacred box,
Where, always draped in languorous frocks,
And always at home if someone knocks,One elbow into the pillow pressed,
She lies, and lazily fans her breast,
While fountains weep their soulfullest:This is the chamber of Dorothy.
Fountain and breeze for her alone
Sob in that soothing undertone.
Was ever so spoiled a harlot known?With odorous oils and rosemary,
Benzoin and every unguent grown,
Her skin is rubbed most delicately.
The flowers are faint with ecstasy.The Scarlet Woman, aglow with sensual indolence: red musk, benzoin, caramel accord, golden honey, and spiced Moroccan unguents.

Select OptionsAnd yet surely to alchemy this right is due, that it may be compared to the husbandman whereof Æsop makes the fable, that when he died he told his sons that he had left unto them gold buried under the ground in his vineyard: and they digged over the ground, gold they found none, but by reason of their stirring and digging the mould about the roots of their vines, they had a great vintage the year following: so assuredly the search and stir to make gold hath brought to light a great number of good and fruitful inventions and experiments, as well for the disclosing of nature as for the use of man’s life.

This was the first fragrance that I’ve ordered from Black Pheonix, but my friend owns about half their store so I’ve been in love with them for a while now. This fragrance if everything that it promised to be and the only thing keeping it from being a full five stars is the fact that I usually end up reapplying it before my work day is over. However I love it’s heavy fruit smell that calms into a rich smokey undertone and I wear this scent every day with plenty of flowery compliments. I have already pushed several friends to buy it as well and would highly encourage anyone else to do the same.

This scent smells of fresh pomegranate straight from the bottle, but as it’s applied to the skin and dried down, it manages to maintain the same freshness of the fruit while incorporating a woody, smokey scent that I’m assuming is the incense. However, the smokiness isn’t the generic “headshop” scent that some perfumes can take on, it’s very light and smells just adjacent to bonfire smoke on a cold night, definitely smokey but still refreshing.
This scent doesn’t throw much, but is still detectable about 9-10 inches from the source, which is nice for someone who doesn’t want everyone in the room smelling them! It does seem to last quite a while though, and upon 5-6 hours with no touch ups it took on a faint hint of warm, barely detectable floral which was lovely 🙂
Overall, I’m giving this a 4/5 because it’s a lovely scent, just not a staple in my collection! Stunning work though, as usual xx

Right from the bottle I get a light, sweet scent of pomegranate but the incense is extremely faint to me; not like the straight up smokey incense I’m familiar with. On my skin, a light scent of pomegranate dominates the incense when wet and upon drying down.
I’m more of a lover of stronger scents but once in a while, I like to dab on something faint yet sweet. Lust is warm and beautiful but I’ll leave it alone often to age and see if it’s incense will grow stronger in smokiness.
