i know this is a little random but on looking at the lab's site, i was a little unsure. are the Carnaval Diabolique scents impable or not? i see nothing stating they're not, but i thought i'd ask to be sure first.

 

They are not. It is on the unimpable series list found here: http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/sample.html

 

If you're ever unsure, it also mentions that they don't sell individual imps for scents that cost more than $15/5ml (I assume that will be adjusted to $17.50 after the price change at the end of March).

 

thank you. that's what i was looking for. not necessarily *good* news, but now i know, right?

Whilst the lab doesn't offer them as imps, you may be able to get a decant on the sales page or post a ISO on the wanted page

Delirium of Bewitching brews is lovely sparkling fruit, I used to wear it alot until I found Diary of a Teenage Cannibal which is also fizzy but is a LE.

On me I died for beauty was baby powder.

I love the smell of almonds, but unfortunately the lab blends I try with almond bring me out in a nasty rash, so I never would have ordered it on my own.

My Velvet/Bard order arrived and so does this frimp. It is really wonderful, smokey almond and cherries. I have now been wearing it for nearly an hour and no rash .

Normally I don't like cherry and have a bad reaction to almond but I absolutely love this. It also has an amazing throw so I'll have to be careful how much I put on.

5/5

I really wanted to like this one, description from the lab sounded perfect, it was in my very first order from the lab so I didn't know what exactly would work well on me.

In the imp it was a lovely sweet oil.

On my skin it took on a very sharp strong smell. I wore it for about half an hour before getting a headache and washing it off.

I wore it a few more times (I really wanted to like it) but it always had the same effect.

Not a keeper

In the imp it smells like quite a few of the foody scents I have already tried but the minute I put this on it turns in to a very super sweet, fun sherbety scent.

If anyone has tried refreshers (UK sweets), it smells very similar to my nose and makes me feel quite girly and bubbly. I absolutely love it, my favourite BPAL to date.

Edited for spelling

It is a very nice and comforting oil. I rarely smell it after ten minutes but when I wore it to work I got lots of compliments. Someone even said they kept on smelling whiffs of vanilla all day.

A definate keeper

This smells wonderful on me. At first it quite strong crisp apple but a few minutes later it has soften to a beautiful sweet green apple.

I am not to good at picking out notes but it isn't overwhelmingly apple or opium but a really lovely blend. Yet another bottle I will have to add to my next order
