Bewitched Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab 2004

This smells so much like a Lush bathbomb. It’s this sweet white musk with a sparkly fruit note (blackberry.) There’s this underlying soapy and chalky smell to it as well that is really similar to the smell of the base bathbombs that is never fully covered up by whatever fragrances added to it. I feel like I’m standing in front of the wall display, sniffing them all before (trying to) gently drop a couple into those waxed paper bags.
The sage does not emerge on its own. It adds depth to the blackberry without making the whole fragrance very herbal. It has this “sweet without reading as edible” sweetness that reminds me of Mouse’s Long & Sad Tale.
Overall Bewitched has a very cozy vibe to it that makes me want to curl up under a comforter and read a book. A unique & very enjoyable fragrance! (Just be warned that BPAL scents tend to get better over time so you might hate it initially like I did.)
