Alkemia Sample Set Review - Curious Oddities

I originally posted this on reddit awhile back but I’m reposting it here because I’m trying to find mutuals and other blogs to follow on here surrounding the indie perfume community :^) So without further ado, here’s my first impression reviews of Alkemia’s Curious Oddities Sample Set.

Memoriam: "Heirloom roses, memories wrapped in woodsmoke, a scattering of ashes" I wanted to like this so much, but honestly right now it's just this awful, acrid smell like something burning that reminds me of barbeque. I catch whiffs of rose and as it dries down it isn't as intense, but even then, I don't think it's something I'll wear. I might let it rest longer and give it a second chance someday. 3/10

Deus ex Machina: "fire hardened steel, rusted iron, warm motor oil, wet cement, burnt copper wires, and grey amber" Okay, I had no idea what to expect going into this one but I am pleasantly suprised! I'm definitely getting metallic and concrete, and what I'm assuming is the grey amber is tying all together very nicely. This one brings to mind an image of a steampunk laboratory for me. Overall it seems very wearable, and I'll definitely at least use up the sample. 8/10

St. Louis Cemetery: "Spanish Moss, crumbling stone, old cement, red clay brick, and graveyard dirt" In the bottle, this is QUITE chemical smelling, guessing that's the concrete. On the skin the moss takes over and gives it a very green scent with that chemical bite lingering in the background. As it dries it begins to have a much more manageable scent with the dirt starting to come through. Closing my eyes and smelling it I can imagine walking through a cemetery after a rain storm, it captures the smell of wet moss and stone and dirt quite well. It's almost uncanny. Not sure how often I'll wear this but it's so damn unique and well blended that it's a solid 7.5/10 in my book.

Industrial sabotage: "burnt wires, twisted melted steel, shattered machinery, and gunpowder" Another one that I'm not entirely sure what to expect at first. And once again, WOW oh my god. Smelling it in the bottle it's such a surprisingly addicting metallic scent. As it dries down it doesn't change all too much but the gunpowder becomes more prominent as well. I don't know how to describe it in a way that does it justice. Imagine being in a chemistry lab, or outside at a gas station, or in a factory, and there's those scents wafting around that are unmistakably manmade and industrial in nature but also a bit intoxicating in a way that makes you want to keep inhaling. Dare I say... 10/10? I might have to full size this one.

Center of the universe: "Welded metal, gunpowder, burnt almond cookies, ozone, raspberries, rum" Such an odd combination of notes! But somehow works pretty well? I don't know if I really like it but it's definitely fine to smell. I almost feel like I get a whiff of a different note every time I smell this, alternating between those metal and gunpowder notes and those sweet foodie ones. Interestingly it sort of makes me think of being in a bakery or kitchen that's been freshly cleaned with chemicals, surrounded by all the metal utensils and food ingredients. A solid 5/10, I like it but not enough to FS and wouldn't be my go to sample choice either. Also it seems to start smelling like fruit scented cleaning products as it sits longer on my skin.

Supernatural: "Iso-E, ambrox, cruelty free tonkin musk, and intricate spirals of aroma molecules" So I have no experience with any of these notes so I cannot speak to if it smells like one would expect, but I can say that whatever it is, it's realllllly nice. I can't place it at all, and from what I've read about iso-e I guess it's pretty individual skin dependent anyways. I can't decide if this smells like something I've smelled in chemistry class before or at a spice shop or in the woods. There's definitely something sweet about it but not in a food way like with center of the universe. I think it reminds me of pine trees or maybe vanilla. Argh I just wish I could place the smell! I'll go with a 8/10 because it doesn't absolutely knock my socks off but it is incredibly intriguing and I'll probably use up the sample.

As I finally got my most wanted @meltcosmetics eyeshadow palette I’d like to share with you dupes (without eyeshadow base), that I’ve made last year, when I thought that this palette never be mine💔

Angelito - Blue Dream

Lagrimas - Mint

Duelo - Lunar

Panteón - Let’s Do

Noche Eterna - Twilight

Catrina - A3

Velorio - Unveil

Sangre - Raw

Corazón - Poppy

Calaca - Aura

Of course now, with #muertepalette I see that my dupes are similar, but not identical. But perhaps it helps somebody to build their own Muerte version✨ Added a video of dupes and previous version of it in post.

Bubblegum 💖 For this lid I used aci10 from the @adeptcosmeticsco Plain Jane Remastered palette - a stunning pink-gold-green iridescent shade. The liner is a favorite - the @shopmissa Artista liner pen in purple. #eyeshadow #eyeshadows #eyeshadowlook #eyeshadowlooks #eyeshadowideas #eyeshadowinspo #eyeshadowinspiration #eyeshadowoftheday #eyeshadowlover #eyeshadowjunkie #Makeup #beauty #makeuplover #makeuplook #makeuplooks #makeupideas #makeupinspo #makeupinspiration #makeupoftheday #makeupartist #discovermuas #discoverunder10k #undiscovered_muas #undiscoveredmuas #undiscoveredmua #undiscoveredmakeupartist #indie #Indiemakeup #adeptcosmetics #indieeyeshadow https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce68pLfP-17/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
