As Dark Things Are Meant to be Loved Alkemia 2015

Sometimes in life, expectations and actual reality can be very far apart.

I don't want to say anything, but let your gaze linger for a moment on the fragrance notes....take in the words: Lapsang Souchong tea, Russian leather, oud, black amber, patchouli, Breuzinho, bakhoor, labdanum, TEMPLE INCENSE deeply into your consciousness!

What do you think the fragrance will offer you?

Right, the incense will make you tear up,
"Vi Et Armis East India" is a joke in comparison, for a cozy "cuddle evening" with your girlfriend.
You wear "Cardinal" for "making love".

Well........*NOPE*
If the fragrance had been called "Dip chocolate cookies in warm tea with honey and orange and lemon in the sauna area," then......*sigh* well.... then I would have known what I was getting.

But the saying: "What you see is what you get" has never strayed so far for me with any perfume as it has with this one!

So what do you get?
A "chocolate black tea Jaffa cake" gourmand bomb of the highest quality with "orange speckles," somewhere there’s also a slight smoky note "hiding" (but not a normal smoky note, it’s somehow like the scent in a sauna landscape in the relaxation area)......where that comes from is a mystery to me *wink*

The longevity is extremely good (10 hours +)
The sillage, on the other hand, is "pleasant" at half a meter without filling rooms.
