Like anyone armed with a sense of appropriateness and irony, I was a bit skeptical when I first came across the idea of D&D-based perfumes. “Skeptical” may be underplaying it, the whole concept is instantly ridiculous: I set my Mockery Projector to Full Stun and followed the link to Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs (http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/rpg.html).

I’m a sucker for any artwork that includes a D20
But instead I found a sweet paean to role playing that was entirely true to itself, utterly lacking of commercialism or snark, decorated with earnestly appealing hand-crafted art, and to cap it all off, a dedication to the perfumer’s parents who taught her to play D&D.
Hard to mock that.
Yet, it remains a bunch of perfumes apparently themed to represent Dungeons and Dragons. I’m attaching the list. Chortle or not as you see fit.
