Dragon's Milk
by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

Sweet, sweet sandalwood. This... this is Joop! Homme just... not as medicinal, more creamy and even longer lasting. I guess Joop! milks dragons and dilutes it for profit.... Dragon's Milk is just too way over the top to be a wearable fragrance.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab describes Dragon's Milk as "dragon's blood resin* and honeyed vanilla."

Dragon's Milk is sweet and creamy, but there's a depth behind the vanilla cream, presumably the dragon's blood. It goes on very, very sweet (and smells really sweet in the bottle), but once it's on, it's a beautiful, strangely innocent sort of fragrance. It feels motherly, homey, and comforting.


*Dragon's Blood resin is obtained from plants of the Croton, Dracaena, Daemonorops, or Pterocarpus genera. It can form hardened red drops as it seeps from injured branches or trunks, which is presumably the origin of the name "dragons' blood."

The main characteristic of Dragon’s Milk is that it is super sweet. No kidding, it might be the sweetest fragrance I’ve smelled. It’s a honey, cherry sweetness that has a sweet-milk sweetness added to it – it smells gooey. There’s definitely a floral quality to it and there’s a bit of smokiness in the far background, but mainly it’s sweet. Cloying and it lasts forever.
