LaVaCaT's Smog Phoenix from DeviantArt - http://lavacat.deviantart.com/art/Smog-Phoenix-61858911

Ms Desanera has the most terrible addiction to heady, seductive scents such as those sold by the perfumery with a difference; Black Phoenix Alchemy. While many different styles and inspirations conspire to create their range of beautifully described aromas, their limited edition “Mechanical Phoenix” must surely tickle the imagination (if not the nose) of the fan of Steampunk:

“A mechanical construct: illustrating strong work ethic, determination, creativity, and innovation. Copper gears, brass cogs, fused wiring, scorched iron, and motor oil.”

Sounds wonderful, and if they do deliver on those scents, then perhaps I’ll be able to stop keeping a cog or two in my pocket for a surreptitious whiff of brass, when the plastic clad world becomes too sterile.  chuckles  Thank you, Ms Desanera – what a wonderful addiction to have!  (Image above is by *LaVaCaT of DeviantArt.)
