Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Dragon Side-Eye is an oil perfume from the Dragon Marginalia collection, released in 2017.
This unisex composition is for those who enjoy expressive fruity-woody fragrances with a distinctive character and a rich presence.
The fragrance was created by perfumers Brian Constantine and Elizabeth Barrial.
It continues the artistic philosophy of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, a brand that sees perfumery as a creative space for unusual imagery, associations and daring combinations.
Dragon Side-Eye is built around bergamot, lychee, peach, oud and musk.
The citrusy freshness of bergamot meets juicy fruity nuances, while oud adds depth, a dry woody quality and a striking oriental facet.
The fruity and woody nuances are balanced by musk, which lends softness to the fragrance and helps it blend naturally with the skin.
The result is a contrasting profile: bright, juicy and full-bodied at the same time, moving from airy fruitiness to a warm woody-musky base.
Dragon Side-Eye has a very powerful sillage, so its presence is noticeable even when applied moderately.
The oil formula unfolds gradually and can smell especially expressive on warm skin, in cool weather and in the evening.
The fragrance is presented as unisex and will appeal to women and men who enjoy fruity compositions without excessive frivolity.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin or clothing are not provided in the database, so it is best to control the intensity by using a small amount of oil and observing how the fragrance develops during the first few hours.
For further exploration of a similar mood, consider Memo Sintra, as well as Al-Rehab Al Nourus and Memo Corfu.
These fragrances offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations of fruity expressiveness, musky softness and woody depth.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
