Using of alchemical perfume?

I think it's fine. As long as you don't believe in it, I wouldn't worry about it.

I plant my garden using moon cycles and I harvest herbs according to season or time of day but that doesn't mean I dedicate them to something or someone other than God.
Of course, if you know these are being made with a pagan blessing or dedicated to those influences you can always stop using them.

I don't think it matters. If you believe it is sin, then it is sin for you. But the scriptures are silent on the matter. Now as far as eating, here is what the scripture says.
1 Cor. 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

1 Cor. 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

28 But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?

30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

IMHO it is ok to use these guidlines for perfume.

It is not a sin to use perfume. It's a sin to believe that some lunar goddess or whatever will make the perfume better if it's made a certain way. But if you just buy the perfume because it smells nice and not because you believe it has some kind of blessing in it, it doesn't matter how it was made.

Also, alchemy doesn't always involve paganism. Traditional alchemy is just people grossly misunderstanding the concepts of chemistry. It was practiced by Christians and by atheists.

I know this might be an unusual thing to ask but anyway I have been buying indie perfumes and some of these perfumers state that they have incorporated alchemy into part of their perfume making process. For eg. did their perfume blending only at certain time of the year to align with the ancient lunar cycle according to certain folklore and stuff like that.

Now the question is do you think I can go ahead and use these perfumes if I have already bought them (never gave too much of a thought when I made the purchase) as I am just seeing them made by ingredients that God has given us.

Just want to be sure, thanks!

If you need to ask the question... throw the perfume away.

I say don't support them, but only because they make a silly claim as part of their advertising.

There IS that. But since it has already been purchased, it can be used up.
