How have I been able to live w/o this scent? That's one of the mysteries that make this universe such an interesting place! Aaaah....

Oh I couldn't believe this smell. Like something forgotten for a long time and now retrieved; one of the scents that remind you of something essential.

 

It's perhaps orange blossom and a very pungent honeysuckle (hey! i'm developing a nose!), and then some rum. i adore it and of all my favorites (dracul, black annis, greed) is the most... enlightening.

I so totally hate this. Every time I try it, it smells more and more like rancid butter. I even tried to get rid of it using 2 drops in a diffuser. Yikes.

 

I'll give it to a friend. Hopefully we'll still be friends after this.

This is perfect, my favorite BPAL so far. I fist I thought that I had "found it" with Hellfire, then with Black Annis, but no, it's DRACUL.

 

I adore black musk and most of the other ingredients in the mix. It floats around me mixing with my aura, a dark quiet velvet place with expensive furniture far away. It's like vanilla but more conforting to my soul.

This brings out my inner hamadryad. My cat scratches her claws in me.

 

It's just like the spring t-shirt i just bought from The Mountain, just like this perfect crisp day of sun and ethereal air all thew way to the mountains and the clouds.

This is very floral but bright, musky and alluring. A nice aura to wear.

It's overwhelming, asphyxiating. It makes me feel crazy, misanthropic, and very uneasy with the world in general. I smell ginger cookies on a base of vanilla. I like it!

warm and classy, as feycat put it. in the imp it smelled uninteresting and too strong. i apllied more than half the imp on chest, shoulders and wrists and went forth into the world, to brilliant consequences. thanks for this perfect beauty of a scent!!! i've never before felt so pampered by and identified with a perfume! it's so me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sort of sounds like an issue you need to work out with the lab....unfortunately we can't change what they charge you.

 

The problem in this case is not weight, but rather mailing out in an envelope versus a box. The lab always mails out packages priority and using a box. And checking the USPS web site....sending that to Chile does indeed cost a minimum of $14.00.

 

It would be cheaper if the lab used padded envelopes, but I don't believe they'll do that anytime soon.

I see.... Well then, I'll only be buying through third parties who can send me the stuff in an envelope. Problem solved!

 

Thanks

Can you/Do you ship to Far East Asia?  Taiwan specifically?  I'm moving there in 2 months and I am wondering if I can still order.  If yes, how much would the shipping be?  Same as Australia?

I asked answers@blackphoenixalchemylab.com how much would cost to ship a small order (some 2 or 3 10ml bottles) to Chile. I got this reply from Sara:

To which I replied:

And then got this reply:

 

>The flat rate I gave you earlier was for up to 15 items. 5ml's, 10ml's

>and 6 imp packs all count as 1 item each.

 

Well, it seems excessive to me. $14 for postage, even if I order only 3 bottles? While the shipping cost to, for example the Far East is only $9?

 

I'm always ordering stuff from the US (I've even obtained some BPAL imps through ebay from a couple of people here in this forum), and I'm used to pay from $4 to $7.50 for S&H in that weight range (2-3 10ml bottles).

 

So, please let me know if pricing can be revised, because I'm really interested in a few blends.

My first belated review will be devoted to Danse Macabre, the divine. It’s so me, it’s the utmost sinister perfume hidden at the bottom of resinous coffers we dare to open at the other side of All Worlds, the specter of a door hidden in a painting and the feeling that there is more to it, always more, lemon peels freshly slaughtered on the deck of a starship that carries us away from all, at last, as we embrace a coffin.
