I decided I needed some new scents to wear as my current bottle of Shalimar was getting a bit old and funky So I decided to branch out a bit and experiment.

I had seen Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab mentioned before, and decided to try them out.

I decided to buy Absinthe and Belle Epoque. They arrived on Saturday during evacuation, so I just got them this morning.

The Belle Epoque is what I'm wearing now; it smells sort of like a head shop, a mish-mash of different incenses. Absinthe smells like black licorice and some other interesting scents.

They also included free samples (which frankly were all something I would never wear - Velvet, Seance, Thorns and Amsterdam).

I like the two I bought, but I worry about buying from them in the future because I can't smell them first.

I wouldn't worry too much about buying without sniffing; there is a pretty active resale market on eBay, on BPAL.org, and here. I can swap you samples if you would like - there are quite a few where I have more than one. Remind me to show you my 300+ bottle collection sometime. :-)
