I still periodically buy perfume, but I never actually get around to posting about it. I'm posting about this one a couple of months after I got it, because I wore it today and just happened to remember.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Duets Italian Lemon Peel and Orange Blossom Perfume Oil.

I got it because it reminded me of the milieu of Deadfall and Deadwater, obviously. :) What it smells like for the first half hour or so is, basically, formal Froot Loops. Then the top notes wear off and there's a soft semi-floral scent underneath that's a bit vanilla-y and a bit herbaceaous, and a bit like those little soaps your grandmother used to have in the guest bath that you weren't allowed to actually touch, which I assume is the orange blossom mid and bottom notes.

I like it. I'm not sure it's Calli's scent, but hey.

IIRC I got a similar Froot Loops vibe from that perfume. XD But then, one of my favorite past perfumes is the earlier incarnation of Midwinter's Eve (ca. 2005 or 2006), which I liked because it smelled like red jello and/or Kool-aid. XD
