    Strawberry Moon 2009

    This is just beautiful. You know how a great scent just transports you? This is so dead on perfect summer spent at my grandparents farm, just laying in the yard reading, I almost teared up. It's tart wild strawberries, crushed green grass, and the faintly sharp tang of dandelions warmed by the sun that the blanket you were laying on smells like when you pick it up to bring it back inside at the end of a perfect day. I don't know how the hooey they did it. But it is absolutely lyrical perfection. On impulse I got two bottles. And I am thrilled I did, I havent loved a scent this much in ages.

    Shill

    I've had this skulking in the back of my cupboard for years and it still smells fabulous. Warm buttery popcorn and the best throw..I love this scent during the summer especially layered with Midway, it just feels sultry and festive (like a summer carnival should feel) Since I had my son I've had to cull alot of my bpal (some of it just does not agree with my chemistry anymore) but this is still one of my relaxing favorites, and it still smells like a warm summery salty carnival breeze. Ahhh..nice to rediscover an old favorite isn't it?

    Phobos

    This was a frimp from the lab And in my new quest to expand my horizons, I have now vowed to try the frimps when I get them and not let them languish, because one never knows when something will suprise one. First sniff...lemon. Application - LEMON....And this is LEMON with a twist of lemon. This is so strong on me it is just dreadful, it made my nostrils burn with the strong lemony lemon. My chemistry amps lemon as it is. If you love lemon, and lemon loves you. You've hit the lemon load!

    Brisingamen

    This was a frimp with my big CN order, and while something I wouldn't have picked myself, actually works quite well with my chemistry. It smells like gorgeous warm amber with just a touch of apple blossom, and something green and lush to round it out. Luckily I am getting little to none of the carnation which can be very finicky on me. I seem to have a very unique chemistry, and the scent descriptions I think I will love, when I get them make me smell like a burning shrub. So if you love greenish amber (weird I know) Give it a shot

    Litha 2006

    All these honey filled reviews! Not this one...I get lemony pledge...if there is a lemon/citrus note buried anywhere in a fragrance, my chemistry will find it..and amp it until I smell like...well my library table after I've pledged it. That would be the oak I'm suspectin.. I'm going to give this another try..because darnit..I want honey!

    Midway

    This is such a warm yummy scent. I got a bottle of this literally the morning I was leaving on vacation (lovely lovely mailman was early). So I took it with! And wore it..a lot. It smelled so wonderful and summery. This morning I pulled out a sweater I had worn once (gotta lovely Wisconsin that it actually got cool enough one evening for a sweater) and it smelled like a soft cloud of spun sugar with just a touch of salty.. Weirdly enough..it reminds me..just a bit of kettle corn..very light on the salty corn part though. I do not know how Beth does it, but this smells like a perfect mix of all of the Carnival/Fair goodies..heaven

    Velvet

    I have the strangest chemistry in the world I am beginning to suspect. This was a frimp that I finally got around to trying.. This smells like chocolate in the bottle..straight up chocolate. On me it morphs into something with a very deep tobacco-y note. I cannot place the individual notes, but it really smells good on me, my ex husband was here picking up our son and said "God that smells great" "Sort of like a smoking jacket looks" Huh...whattya know it sure does, it smells..like a velvet smoking jacket looks. Rich and smoky..and dark. Anyway..suprise suprise.. Gonna have to get me a bottle of this..

    Who do I email with questions? BPAL/BPTP contact info

    I need help! I got my order today, and it's the wrong order. meaning it isnt mine. I sent an e-mail to answers@blackphoenixalchemylab.com telling them what I actually received -v- what I ordered and included the dates of my paypal transactions, and what I ordered. Just to be proactive, is there anything else I should have included? I dont want anyone to have to play e-mail tag with me because I did it incorrectly or omitted something. Oy Vey! Thank you!

    Peony Moon

    Woooo! Went home on my lunch hour to let the puppy out and met the mailman who was delivery my Peony Moon! I agree with the above posters...I am getting almost a rose vibe from this..definately very floral..hello floral welcome to my wrist floral. A neighbor has a Peony Shrub that I pass all the time..and this really does remind me of it... I'm also getting a slighty sharp soapy note... And it definately has throw..not insane for it, but I like it..very pretty

    The Perfumed Garden

    This smells absolutely freaking GORGEOUS on me. The Apple peel is very fleeting, and the jasmine is very subtle, for some reason I get lightly floral warm and delicious honey...I'm too flippin lazy to read if that's a note.. But I love this...with a love that is all loving and obsessive. And I have already had three people tell me I smell amazing (including my 9 y/o son) I am in love with a L/E..wouldnt it figure EDIT: Ok, I got a second bottle of this in a swap, and it smells practically NOTHING like the first bottle I got from the Lab, it smells much more like what everyone else here is reviewing, alot of Apple Peel and Jasmine out the wazooo. Well crap, now how the hell do I figure out what was actually in my bottle of Perfumed Garden the first time? I got Honey and coconutty somethinoranother. ::sigh::

    Hellion

    This does not love me. My chemistry amps everything in this up so high..I smell like a mean and nasty biker chick that was doused in Patchouli then lit on fire..and allowed to smolder down to her battered engineer boots. I am hoping with aging that some of this edge will mellow. Because I want to kick my own ass when I wear this.

    Budding Moon

    This is really just such a gorgeous scent. The plum blossom and peony are just luminous. I love, love, love, love this. The more I wear it the more I'm loving it.

    Red Lantern

    I wore this a couple of times just to really get a true feeling from this. Upon first application: Definately smell the carmel, and the blonde tobacco is already present (lurking in the background) for me. Inital drydown (about two hours into my day) On me this is very carmel/spicy, and the tobacco note is still quite present Alrighty, several hours later, this is still clearly present, but it's doing a very intriguing morphing thing on me, at first sniff, I get the amber and carmel, but the coconut is ever so gently present..strangely enough, you can still smell the blonde tobacco, it's not intrusive at all, but definately there. There was a movie with Johnny Depp in it called "From Hell" (based on the Jack the Ripper scenario) and there is a scene with him in an opium den, all wonked out and woozy. This smell reminds me so much of that scene. Sort of decadent, and a bit illicit. Intriguing...I like it.

    Sacred Whore of Babylon

    In the bottle this smells very spicy/floral/exotic wooo hoo Upon application it smells very warm and a bit spicy. Ok..two hours later and I smell like cinnamon. Smack you in the face with a stick cinnamon..with a very slight other spicy smell. I couldnt place the smell, but a co-worker hit it right on the nose (no pun intended) "You smell like mulling spice..ya know like you put in Apple Cider" Oh joy.. And so the swap pile begins...
