Sheol
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

Two things are certain with Sheol:1. According to BPAL's site, the notes are "Vibrant gladiola, graceful stargazer lily, triumphant iris and bright heliotrope flare, and is finally made somber by heavy copal, a drop of labdanum, and tonka" 2. It's among the Ars Moriendi line of perfume oils, along with Deep In Earth, The Ghost, and Midnight. Excellent company in my opinion.Up front is a beautifully sweet, soapy accord that I think may be the heliotrope and iris, bouyed by the copal resin, powdered a little by the labdanum and tonka. This could be a beautiful evening fragrance for a woman - too dark and quiet for a girl - or a somewhat formal floral for a man. I'll give it a thumb's-up for the fragrance and a neutral for the name. It's quiet, maybe melancholic or rueful, but by no means joyless and dead.
