Antony
by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

This is the most masculine BPAL fragrance I’ve smelled so far. It opens green and herbal. I get a gray herb and an almost grass and a definite basil. It’s good, its masculine, and it’s not at all too potent. Very quickly an incense moves in on the green along with a bit of a ambergris, and these supply the complete underpinnings of the total fragrance – they stay through the whole fragrance, which isn’t much of an accomplishment because the Antony peters out very quickly because there is no apparent dry down that I can find. This would have been an excellent fragrance if it had some decent longevity.
