Fragrance information:

In 2018, the Dragon Con collection introduced a fragrance that made even the most discerning dragons take notice.

Dragonsplaining by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is a bold unisex perfume that isn't afraid to speak loudly and confidently.

If you're looking for something that leaves a trail not just strong, but literally fiery—you've come to the right place.

The creators of the fragrance, masters of olfactory art Brian Constantine and Elizabeth Barrial, combined the elements of smoke and wood in this oil elixir.

The result is not a mundane campfire, but rather a ritual fire framed by ancient oaks.

The sillage that trails behind you isn't just noticeable—it announces your presence before you even enter the room.

Why this is more than just a fragrance

Dragonsplaining belongs to the oriental and woody families, but its heart is pure drama. This is not about tenderness or flowers.

It's about power, wisdom, and a slightly arrogant whisper that can be heard a mile away. Perfect for evening outings when you want to highlight your uniqueness and not be afraid to be noticed.

The concentration of oil perfume here is no accident: oil allows the fragrance to unfold slowly but richly, lingering on the skin for hours without losing depth.

Thanks to this, every note—from resinous smoke to tangy wood bark—is experienced to the fullest.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The pyramid of Dragonsplaining doesn't abound in variety, but every accord here is precisely calibrated. At its core lie two elements: thick, enveloping Smoke and a powerful Woody accord.

There are no fruits or flowers — only a pure, almost mystical scent of fire and forest.

This is a minimalist but very expressive composition that unfolds like a smoldering campfire: sharp at first, then a long, warm hum.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
