Nocturne Alchemy Reviews

Eternal Luxor
NA Amber, Golden Egyptian Fig, Creamy Coconut Milk and Toasted Coconut Oil.

Coconut tamped by the amber and milk. Not a tropical scent at all. It's actually beautiful and very wearable. Also on a totally different stratosphere than coconut moonstone so trying both would be wise!

Eternal Egypt
White Amber, Red Egyptian Musk, Egyptian Amber and the sands of Egypt. A beautiful enrapturing scent.

Liking this! I think the sand note goes much better in this for me than Eternal Ankh. Which is bizarre because I'm a vanilla addict. This smells so rich and smooth. Also another note.. BPAL's red musk note is a HUGE turnoff for me.. it smells like cherry musk or something. The red musk in this is totally (and I mean TOTALLY) different. I don't smell any red fruit at all in this. Just a very smooth beautiful scent. No wonder it's their Signature Scent. I'm so glad I picked this up even though I was so afraid of the red musk in the description. 

Vanilla Necropolis
Egyptian Red Amber, Black Rose, Egyptian Red Musk, Sweet Amber, Allspice, French Vanilla, Persian Vanilla, Vanilla Bean and Vanilla absolute. The complete aspect follows with the Purple Rose of Cairo, Egyptian Vanilla Absolute and a deeper Vanilla Necropolis resolution.

Rose! Pretty! *boots the musk out* No likely rose smells mixed with musty musk or patchouli. At least the musk isn't the biggest note. The rest of it is quite lovely and very wearable. It's not the loud in-your-face rose that a lot of scents have but a beautiful well-behaved jammy rose. The amber is very pretty mixed in. For all the vanilla notes in the description I can't smell any of them. My nose is broken or something!

Bassima
A soft coconut, butter and warm sugar scent enriched with subtle nutmeg and fig. 

I smell the coconut and nutmeg mostly. It's pretty. Close to the skin. Faint (my experience with Malban too.. how odd) Now I can smell the green of the fig. It's lovely. Doesn't really smell foody to me. 

Malban
Quite simply it is a luxurious caramel, vanilla, walnut and sugar delight.

I don't really smell the meat of the walnut but the shell (if that makes any sense). Also smell the caramel. It seems very faint to me. Very very faint. I wish it was stronger. Maybe this needs to age .. alot. Because what I can smell of it smells lovely. 

Bes
Vanilla Cream Vapour, Caramelized Egyptian Sugar Dust, Vanilla Musk, Cardamom, Sandalwood and Egyptian Black Clove Buds.

Interesting! I very definitely smell the clove but it's a sweet pretty almost dainty clove. The faint scent of something almost incensy and musty (maybe the musk?) I like this.. definiltely another of my comfy in jeans reading book by a window where it's raining outside. This is a really pretty smooth yet spicy scent. Feminine. I smell all of the notes. (not a huge musk/patchouli girl admittedly). I like this. I wouldn't consider this foody at all.
