I'm pretty sure I have found the gift for my brother for the next few Christmases and Birthdays.  He loves Palladium and D & D - Maybe you think you're too cool to play Dungeons & Dragons, and that's fine:  Deprive yourself of magic and wonderment just because you're insecure.  Actually, I don't play either, but that doesn't take away any of the intrigue I have for this product.

Thanks to a company called the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, even if you won't play D&D, at least you can SMELL like you do. And that doesn't mean a mix of Cheetos, Mountain Dew Code Red, and Head and Shoulders.

--Black Phoenix has released a new line of Dungeons & Dragons-inspired COLOGNES and PERFUMES.

--For example, their cologne called Elf combines a pale golden musk, honeycomb, amber, violet, hawthorn bark, aspen leaf, forest lily, white moss, and a hint of wild berries.

--The cologne called Fighter is scented like leather, musk, blood, and steel.  The cologne called Halfling smells like porridge, kukui nuts, and PASTRY CRUMBS.

--They even have colognes based on GOOD and EVIL.  Good is a, quote, "shimmering celestial musk with vanilla, white honey, acacia, and sugar cane" . . . evil includes, quote, "smoldering opium tar, tobacco, green tea, and black plum."

--A five-milliliter bottle goes for $17.50.

Their website is pretty confusing to use...unless you are skilled in the art of dungeon scouring and have an extra potion and hit points...
