Oh, how the shoggoth of you clings...

I didn't see anything about the "noisome stench of a thousand tombs," so I have no idea if this description of the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's new scent, for R'yleh, is accurate:

The sunken city of the Great God Cthulhu. A hellishly dark aquatic scent, evocative of fathomless oceanic deeps, the mysteries of madness buried under crushing black waters, and the brooding eternal evil that lies beneath the waves.

No dice? There's always Azathoth, Y'Ha-Nthlei, and my favorite, Nyarlathotep:

Brooding, yet electric: the scent of buried secrets, roiling nightmares, the essence of the Crawling Chaos, the Father of Knives and Locusts, the Hunter in the Dark. This is the blackest of ritual incenses charged with flashes of ozone.

It's no Black Goat in the Woods With a Thousand Young, but whatever, my birthday shopping for The Wife is done.

I've got R'lyeh, actually. It's actually a very nice aquatic with strong citrusy overtones, although pleasantly suggestive of dankness and whatnot.

I also have the no-longer-available limited edition scent Yog-Sothoth. It smells curiously like Chanel No. 5. What that says about dark elder gods and French fashion houses is left as an exercise to the reader.

(Incidentally, current ship times from the Lab are about 3-4 weeks, so plan accordingly.)

Little Cthulhu, Little Cthulhu
With shoggoths on your chin
Always in and out of trouble,
But mostly always in...
