Sacred Flame is the smoke of burning oudwood rising toward the heavens amid embers of green cardamon, singed vanilla pods, black tea, tonka, and incense resins. It is a perfume.
This is the alcohol free perfume, not an oil. It is also free of parabens, phthalates, PDGs and other unpleasant things. Alkemia is hand-blended and small batch perfumery using natural essences, ethically rendered accords, and lab-created aroma molecules.
Reddit: "Smoke is a tricky note. Too often my skin amplifies it to the heavens, smothering all other notes and I end up smelling like I've been sitting downwind of a bonfire. That said, on my skin Sacred Flame is... smoke, at first. Thankfully, vanilla bean and tonka soon push through and add a touch of sweetness, there's a whiff of incense curled around the tendrils of smoke, cardamom making its subtle presence known. Slowly, the intensity of smoke calms down a bit and the notes come to a some sort of balance. It's still a very smoke forward perfume, but maybe the first one I actually like."
Reddit: "Smoky wood. You can tell its a dark wood but the scent does manage to feel light and transparent. Though I still wouldn't consider this a Spring scent.The tea adds a freshness to this and probs what makes it feel transparent. It's like a bright black tea with smoky oud. Not really getting vanilla or cardamom. Gives off a more green scent vibe as it dries down. It becomes less smoky and a little leathery at dry down. 3.75/5"
Reddit: "Smells like church/ incense. But a bit more sweet and soft. I absolutely love it!"
Reddit: "I have tested dozens of Alkemia's scents, but this one... by the gods, this one is different. Every time I catch a whiff of it, I ascend..."
