Due to the popularity of Netflix's The Sandman, based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab keep being told they should create some scents based on it. Well they did, three years ago. BPAL and Gaiman have collaborated several times in the past with collections based on his work such as American Gods and Coraline.
The four scents, which originally launched in 2019, based on quotes from The Sandman are:
DREAMS SHAPE THE WORLD
“Amorphous streams and sparks of lavender fancies drifting through a moonlit musk, given form on this plane by fossilized amber and sweet agarwood.”
THE THINGS WE DO MAKE ECHOES
“Goldfish-orange overripe mangoes, blackcurrant, strawberry pulp, red benzoin, honey, streaks of white ginger, a splatter of star anise, an erratic jolt of eucalyptus and mint, and a dribble of absinthe.”
WHAT YOU WANT AND BEING HAPPY ARE TWO QUITE DIFFERENT THINGS
“The knife’s blade of temptation: sweet pomegranate and fig, carnal tuberose, tobacco leaf, and a trail of smoke.”
YOU GET WHAT ANYBODY GETS — YOU GET A LIFETIME
“An unimaginably ancient scent, older than time. The gentle, fluttering embrace of oblivion: myrrh and blackened champaca blossom, attar of oudh, black amber, Casmir wood, and dried fig.”
The four scent are available from the BPAL website.
