my black phoenix alchemy lab perfumes
collecting links to my current stash so i can find what i have and replace if necessary.
2 who killed amanda palmer inspired scents from http://www.postwartrade.com/
DAYLILIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS
Varnished oak flooring and flattened daylilies.
I get tons of compliments on this one. the daylilly scent is strong and pleasing.
BLACKBERRY JAM & SCONES
Blackberry jam and… scones.
no exactly what i was expecting when i ordered it, but it smells somewhat like rum, but in a good way. it's very strong, so i have to b sure to only apply a little bit.
2 neil gaiman inspired scents:
THE CONVOCATION
A small sign in the hotel lobby announced that the Washington Room was taken that night by a private function, although there was no information as to what kind of function this might be. Truthfully, if you were to look at the inhabitants of the Washington Room that night, you would have no clearer idea of what was happening, although a rapid glance would tell you that there were no women in there. They were all men, that much was clear, and they sat at round dinner tables, and they were finishing their dessert. There were about a hundred of them, all in sober black suits, but the suits were all they had in common. They had white hair or dark hair or fair hair or red hair or no hair at all. They had friendly faces or unfriendly, helpful or sullen, open or secretive, brutish or sensitive. The majority of them were pink-skinned, but there were black-skinned men and brown-skinned. They were European, African, Indian, Chinese, South American, Filipino, American. They all spoke English when they talked to each other, or to the waiters, but the accents were as diverse as the gentlemen. They came from all across Europe and from all over the world. A macabre mélange of swanky men's colognes.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/graveyardbook.html this was a gift, and not a scent i would have purchased from the description. i find it somewhat spicy, but i've been told it's also slightly like baby powder. it's one of my favorites to wear.
FAIRY WINE
Mr. Bromios had set up a wine-tent and was selling wines and pasties to the village folk, who were often tempted by the foods being sold by the folk from Beyond the Wall but had been told by their grandparents, who had got it from their grandparents, that it was deeply, utterly wrong to eat fairy food, to drink fairy water and sip fairy wine. An ethereal vintage, steeped with dandelion, honey, and red currants.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/stardust.html one of my newest acquisitions, this one is sweet and it does smell like a wine wine when you smell the cork after opening it. it is not so winy that you smell like you have been drinking, it's more subtle than that. it does seem to dissipate fairly quick.

SCHRÖDINGER'S CAT
One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks. A paradoxical scent experiment! - tangerine, sugared lime, pink grapefruit, oakmoss, lavender, zdravetz, and chocolate peppermint. No cats were mistreated during the formulation of this paradox, or in the process of creating this perfume.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html this is my current obsession scent. it's so hard to describe, and smells divine on me.it's a very odd scent where i smell different notes each time i open the bottle.
LONDON
Venerable Victorian Tea Rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/wanderlust.html this was a nice rose, and i have a drop left, this is the one i dropped a few weeks ago right as i was walking out the door for work. i spilled it all over my work lap top, and it still smells like rose when i turn i on.
THALIA
Good Cheer
Plumeria, pear and white champagne.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/excolo.html this is very light and subtle. it layers well with Schrodinger and the rose. in fact i had thalia, Schrodinger, the rose, and fairy wine all on at the same time after i bought them and it was fairly pleasing. i started layering with layering scents, but i'm no really that brave yet. THE ROSE
When they found that their father must take a journey to the ship, the two eldest begged he would not fail to bring them back some new gowns, caps, rings, and all sorts of trinkets. But Beauty asked for nothing; for she thought in herself that all the ship was worth would hardly buy everything her sisters wished for. "Beauty," said the merchant, "how comes it that you ask for nothing: what can I bring you, my child?" "Since you are so kind as to think of me, dear father," she answered, "I should be glad if you would bring me a rose, for we have none in our garden." Now Beauty did not indeed wish for a rose, nor anything else, but she only said this that she might not affront her sisters; otherwise they would have said she wanted her father to praise her for desiring nothing. The promise of a rose: red rose petals, fresh sap, and the sharp green scent of stem and leaf.

and several bonus imps from my purchases. for most of them i have not opened them yet to try.
AEVAL
A raven-haired Fairy Queen of Ireland. One of her eternal duties dictates that she must hold a midnight court every season and hear the pleas of married Irishwomen. The court serves only to determine whether or not husbands are adequately serving their wife’s sexual needs. A judicious yet powerfully sensual blend, a mingling of justice and sexuality: sage, sweet pea, bold pale musk and warm tonka.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html BLOCK BUSTER
Used to open up options in your life, overcome obstacles, and create opportunities. This blend increases your potential for success, inspires creativity and quick thinking, and helps you to be more flexible, adaptable and open to change
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html NEPHILIM
Dark children conceived from the union of Fallen Angels and the Daughters of Men. According to lore, the angel Shemhazai led a group of his angels to earth to instruct mankind in the ways of piety and righteousness. After a time, the angels became prey to earthly desires and began to lust after the daughters of man, and thus they fell. They instructed their mortal mates in the arts of conjuration, summoning, necromancy and other magickal arts. The fruits of their union are the Nephilim: possessed of superhuman strength, cunning, and infinite capacity, and hunger for, sin. Venerated as heroes by some, vilified by most, the Nephilim eventually annihilated one another in a cataclysmic civil war instigated by the angel Gabriel as punishment for their transgressions. Holy frankincense and hyssop in union with earthy fig, defiled by black patchouli and vetiver, with a chaotic infusion of lavender, cardamom, tamarind, rosemary, oakmoss and cypress.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/diabolus.html SZEPASSZONY
The Fair Lady, Winter Witch, White Maiden of the Storm. Szepasszony is a Hungarian demoness that appears as a stunningly beautiful woman with long, silver-white hair and a blinding white dress. She revels in storms, particularly when hail rains down on her. Water dripping down eaves into a puddle is an invitation for her to cause mischief: she uses the puddle as a magickal tool for casting her wicked spells. It is considered foolhardy to step into a circle of short grass ringed by taller grasses, as those mark the circles where the Fair Lady dances. A chilly, tempestuous whirlwind of clear, airy notes, slashing rain, and a thin undercurrent of white flowers.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/diabolus.html HOW DOTH THE LITTLE CROCODILE
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws! Chocolate peppermint, mint-soaked vanilla, pistachio, oakmoss, and green cedar
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/alice.html LOVE-LIES-BLEEDING
The velvet flower. A lush, thick, luxuriant bloom, bold and red.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/garden.html QUEEN MAB
Warrior, Trickster and Goddess of Magic and Poets, she is one of the Tuatha De Danaan and the Queen of the Faeries. A very complex scent, both shadowy and fierce: black orchid, sandalwood, night-blooming jasmine, osmanthus, Somalian rose, and Chinese musk.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/excolo.html EGLE
In another time, long ago lived an old man and his wife. Both of them had twelve sons and three daughters. The youngest being named Egle. On a warm summer evening all three girls decided to go swimming. After splashing about with each other and bathing they climbed onto the riverbank to dress and groom their hair. But the youngest, Egle, only stared for a serpent had slithered into the sleeve of her blouse. What was she to do? The eldest girl grabbed Egle's blouse. She threw the blouse down and jumped on it, anything to get rid of the serpent. But the serpent turned to the youngest, Egle, and spoke to her in a man's voice: Egle, promise to become my bride and I will gladly come out. Egle began to cry how could she marry a serpent? Through her tears she answered: Please give me back my blouse and return from whence you came, in peace. But the serpent would not listen: Promise to become my bride and I will gladly come out. There was nothing else she could do; she promised the serpent to become his bride. Ocean water, hyacinth petals, star jasmine, and fir.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/marchen.html ECLIPSE
All the glory, warmth and majesty of the sun -- darkened. A delicious blend of bitter almond, vanilla, frankincense and heliotrope, with a drop of cinnamon.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html LANGUOR
An opiate torpor, soporific, trancelike, and sublimely languid. A poet’s morphine dream, a listless journey into a gentle dream and the precipice of intoxicated madness. Paperwhite and black narcissus, three lilies, black poppy and tuberose and a hint of hypnotic opium den haze.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/sin.html TAVERN OF HELL
Sometimes I would venture from my sepulchre to the jazz of night Paris, where having gathered the colours, I would think them over in front of the fire. I could be seen walking through a funeral corridor of my house and descending down a black spiral of steep stairs; rushing underground to Montmartre, all impatience to see the fiery rubies of the Moulin Rouge cross. I wondered thereabouts, then bought a ticket to watch frenzied delirium of feathers, vulgar painted lips and eyelashes of black and blue. Naked feet, and thighs, and arms, and breasts were being flung on me from bloody-red foam of translucent clothes. The tuxedoed goatees and crooked noses in white vests and toppers would line the hall, with their hands posed on canes. Then I found myself in a pub, where the liqueurs were served on a coffin (not a table) by the nickering devil: "Drink it, you wretched!" Having drunk, I returned under the black sky split by the flaming vanes, which the radiant needles of my eyelashes cross-hatched. In front of my nose a stream of bowler hats and black veils was still pulsing, foamy with bluish green and warm orange of feathers worn by the night beauties: to me they were all one, as I had to narrow my eyes for insupportable radiance of electric lamps, whose hectic fires would be dancing beneath my nervous eyelids for many a night to come. White gardenia, ambergris bouquet, lavender fougere, orange blossom, melissa, tobacco flower, coriander, ebony wood, ylang ylang, absinthe and aged whiskey.
http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html GOLDEN PRIAPUS
Insatiable lust, unending vigor! A truly carnal, energetic men's blend: vanilla and amber with juniper, rosewood and white pine.

Retro Games Destroy NYC is Today's BIG Thing in Technology - APR 08, 2010
this is making the rounds, but man i ove legos and retro games this is BOTH!
new neighbors upstairs. woke me up again, 5 for 5 this week in waking me up before my alarm.
today i stumbled upstairs eyes barely opened asking them to please stop. i can't take it anymore.I very firmly remember i was not allowed to stomp or walk heavily in the house. we never lived in an apartment with people below us, but sill my mother taught me how to walk normally and not stomp. do other people just not learn this? especially in an apartment where you are on the 3rd floor, OBVIOUSLY someone lives below you, so stop your kids from making a hellish racket at 6:30 in the morning. the floor is not a drum.geesh.

Basically, universal responsibility is the feeling for other people's suffering just as we feel our own. It is the realization that even our own enemy is motivated by the quest for happiness. We must recognize that all beings want the same thing we want. This is the way to achieve a true understanding, unfettered by artificial consideration. - Dalai Lama
i do totally understand words have power and that power affects everyone differently. i also think sometimes we need to step back and take into consideration how we let that power affect us and how we interpret the world. the power of words is dynamic and words evolve. so even if you find a word offensive, others may not. the question is, how do we proceed after being offended. at what point does the sanitation of language stop being effective?
