Halloween in New Orleans
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snakebite enter my veins
Never did I wanna be here again
And I don't remember why I came

Hazing clouds rain on my head
Empty thoughts fill my ears
Find my shade by the moonlight
Why my thoughts aren't so clear

Demons dreaming
Breathe in, breathe in
I'm coming back again

The composition emanates the scent of the Mississippi at night, initially with the aroma of sweetish bush leaves in the air. Not without an evocative quality.

The development continues with by adding in olive and herbal mossy tones, with the latter being dominant in the drydown.

The base is less interesting and much closer to my skin, with he main added note being that of a tonka impression, which is, however, never overwhelming or cloying.

The sillage is moderate, the projection good, and the longevity about six hours.

Overall the concept is quite original, but the implementation is all right but nothing extraordinary. Nice but nothing too special. 2.75/5
