Phoenix Flame extrait de parfum has been my most worn perfume since its release back in November and I find it a thoroughly enjoyable experience, particularly at this time of year! Firstly, as the name would suggest, you should expect PF to be smoky (it's representative of renewal). And it really is. It’s not an in-your-face choke-you-out smoke. There are however several curls of sultry black soot rising from my forearms right now. I jest, but it is smoky. Secondly, there is a magical, magnetic natural oud which feels woody and a touch medicinal. Of course the oud % has been measured quite deftly, but it’s there and it’s gorgeous. PF is also incensey. Not main accord incensey, nothing much in this perfume is. The resins here, frankincense and myrrh (work beautifully with the amber accord and the spices of cardamom and cinnamon to provide the heat of the phoenix rising from these smoky ashes. And then there’s the sumac which really grows into the drydown. Tangy and deep with a hint of earthy sweetness and floral citrus notes, it counterbalances the rest of the very warming notes and provides something delightful and unique. Phoenix Flame is an amazing perfume and one that has clearly been developed and developed over a long period, something rare that always pays dividends. This is proper perfume created by a hugely talented artist and I’d highly recommend you all check it out.
