Do you ever say to yourself, “You know, I’d like to pay for the opportunity to smell like an evil lizard creature with my society’s recognized currency, if only the opportunity would present itself”? If so, really? I mean, really!!?? Hey, to each his own. Also, you’re in luck, because that’s exactly what’s happening. Weirdo.
Perfume company Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (which may or may not be a front for a mad scientist’s laboratory) debuted their new line of Dark Crystal-themed scents at Dragon*Con last week. Their descriptions of the odors are as follows:
- skekZok the Ritual-Master
An incense of deception: frankincense, opoponax, hyssop, champaca, and opium poppy accord. - skekUng the Garthim-Master
Brute force and destruction: vetiver, smoke, steel, and dragon’s blood resin. - skekTek the Scientist
Metal and stone beams of dark light: hyssop, black currant, black viola, passionflower, and myrrh. - skekNa the Slave-Master
The essence of vile gluttony: an abundance of spices, sweet cakes, thick creams, and opulent liqueurs mixed with the scent of whip leather and rusted padlocks. - *skekSi jazz hands!*
Unfortunately, “skekSi jazz hands” are not actually one of the offered scents, but did you really expect me to leave that out?
For more information, check out Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s Facebook page. Or just sniff around for the person who smells like dragon’s blood resin and ask them where they got it.
