  1. Is your imp very aged? Mine is lab fresh and is all about the tangerine for the first hour with hints of cedar and vetiver in the background. Then those 3 notes are equal for a few hours and deep drydown is a light cedar. I find that aging isn't good for most citrus scents, especially in imp form.
  2. A few that come to my mind are: Embalming Fluid- A light, pure scent: white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon. Azathoth- His scent is high-pitched and screeching, both impenetrably dark and searingly bright with the clarity of madness: tangerine, saffron, vetiver, black amber and cedarwood. Villian- A classic Victorian men’s cologne: a lavender fougere, with hints of lilac, lime, and citrus musk. Dorian may work but I find it can get a bit sweet in the heat...

    Recs for my next order- sweet and spiced?

    Have you tried Morocco? "The intoxicating perfume of exotic incenses wafting on warm desert breezes. Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia." Eclipse is also a nice spicy scent, that doesn't overpower in the GC: All the glory, warmth and majesty of the sun -- darkened. A delicious blend of bitter almond, vanilla, frankincense and heliotrope, with a drop of cinnamon.

    Perfumey scents

    if you're into Ava, I found De Vos Unicorn and Zorya Polunochnaya to be in the same vein. I seem to remember Eternal from the GC having a strong perfume vibe as well.

    Help fix this scent! Feat. layering!

    Vanilla was my first thought too! Snake Oil is my favorite layering blend and the one I would recommend, good luck!
  6. The first scent that comes to my mind is Green Tree Viper(Snake Oil with four mints, bergamot, and green tea.). My concern would be that Snake Oil turns to powder on many. I second Anesthesia for a mellow herbal mint and the Lick It scents are nice for sweet vanilla mint. There are so many awesome tea scents! Dorian is amazing but out of stock at the moment. Tea and music is a nice tea and wood scent. I quite like A Little More Tea. That's all I can think of right now!

    International Shipping Info+Questions

    Thanks sarandipitee! Mine cleared customs yesterday, it's good to know I'm not the only one it's happened to! Update June 1: The package arrived with no customs fees , yay! I had stopped ordering from the lab when I heard they started shipping with DHL(I loathe them), so so glad it's back to USPS!

    International Shipping Info+Questions

    Is the lab shipping international with USPS again? The tracking number I got was for USPS and today I have an orange alert saying "Your item arrived at a facility in CANADA on May 31, 2017 at 7:01 am.". Does anyone know what that means? I thought it meant it was attempted delivery but when I checked the mail it wasn't there. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Ozone, Ozone, Ozone!

    I honestly don't find the lab's ozone note to smell like real ozone. That being said it's probably not possible to replicate the smell of electrically charged oxygen!😆 I view it as a conceptual scent like water, air etc.

    Different smells/colors, same perfume

    I try not to torture myself this way but the thought does cross my mind, especially when the reviews seem divided into two different scents!

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    My bottle of Cottonmouth is from '09 and it has the etsy label. I've had multiple bottles of a few other snake pits and haven't noticed any label variations.

    I do love cedar...

    Seconding The Bow and crown of Conquest but my favorite sexy cedar blend is VILF- Vampire smut: patchouli-infused honey, red musk, red sandalwood, red ginger, pink pepper, Peru balsam, dark Eastern florals, Himalayan cedar, smoky vanilla, bitter clove, and leather.

    What do bottles and labels look like?

    Banshee Beat was actually a retail only blend sold out of Urban Outfitters. I don't know what the "space 15 twenty" means but my bottles are from the second release and don't say it so your bottle must be from the original release(score!). ETA: Lookie what I found! Located in Los Angeles, Space 15 Twenty is a unique retail setting, which creates an opportunity for Urban Outfitters to collaborate with creative brands that they find inspiring and interesting. Within the 12,690 square foot Urban Outfitters store, they showcase distinctive designers with a new pop-up shop every month. Each store is connected by an outdoor courtyard, which includes a performance space and adjacent gallery, both of which encourage participation in the curated environment. Aligning with local music, film and art venues, the courtyard and gallery present a rotating cast of musicians and artists. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab has created two scents exclusively for Space15Twenty: Sweet Life, a luxurious blend of gardenia, pikaki, ylang ylang, and Casablanca lily, and Banshee Beat, a tousled, sexy mix of patchouli, vanilla, and hemp.

    Where is this scent?

    If it's just a skull and crossbones on the label with no writing, it might be Jolly Roger No, I'm pretty sure that it is the forum only scent that I linked to above. It was made in honor of Beth's and Puddin's wedding - Pirate Moon. LOL, you're probably right, I forgot that Pirate Moon didn't have the scent name on it either but the date is there!
