BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab) discussion

[jillybean]

Some of my favorite BPAL's are:

Chimera
Dana O'Shee
Pancake Breakfast
Dark Chocolate & Key Lime Truffle
El Dia de Reyes
Humbug

I tend to only go for the foody smelling scents, which aren't many so I don't buy very often but leaves more money for makeup! I went to my first BPAL event in April and got to meet Beth and all the labbies, it was such fun!

 

[MAChostage]

I see so many people say they love Dana O'Shee. And Pancake Breakfast has me intrigued, LOL!

 

[jillybean]

Have you ever smelled LUSH's Snowcake soap before? If so, it's very similar to Dana but better, IMO.

Pancake Breakfast was something that the Black Phoenix Trading Post put out a few years ago. BPTP seems to have more of the foody scents that come out from time to time. Some of my favorite scents have come from the TP.

I bet you could find decants of PB on bpal.org. It's pancakes with boysenberry syrup. NOM.

I've been on a BPAL hiatus for a while, so last night I placed a huge order.

I got : imps of Alice, The Bow and Crown of Conquest, Dee, Perversion, O (tried this a long time ago, thought I'd give it another chance), and Velvet.

And 5ml's of Shub-Niggurath, Tombstone, How Doth the Little Crocodile, Bliss, Chimera, Lemon Scented Sticky Bat, Detestable Putrescence, Sara Pezzini, Western Diamondback, Death Adder, WILF, and Dark Chocolate, Lime & Chocolate Mint.

Can't wait! Has anyone else picked up anything new lately?

 

[MAChostage]

I've been on hiatus too. I recently made a list of scents containing red musk that I might want to try, so I'm thinking I need to get on that!

 

[cheetahpita]

I just bought a couple imps:

Bluebeard
The Great Sword of War
Phoenix Steamworks
Baku
The Hanging Gardens
Undertow
Manhattan

I'm usually a fan of aquatic/citrus, so Undertow and Manhattan hopefully will be good - the rest are random, just to try them out

 

[cyanidewine]

I've been slowly building up a list, but I've never ordered from them and I can't decide what to get!
I'm just looking at imps right now, although I might grab one of the Bones Trombone (blueberry and lemon pie?! yum!)
I want a nice variety, and I've been lurking on this thread but it seems like a lot of the popular ones (Beaver Moon, Snake Oil) aren't available anymore.
Anyone have any recomendations for some cheesecakey or foody scents and maybe one or two slightly more adult, sexy scents that aren't too musky?

I can sit allll day reading the descriptions, but at the same time they're a tad intimidating!

Here's my tentative list so far!
Screeching parrot
Night gaunt
Eat me

Okay, pounce and HI Jillybean--from martiangurll on B&I! Sorry to post off topic but had to say Hi.
And yeah, I gotta get me some BPAL imps of this PB.

Haha, the descriptions can get a bit crazy I tend to go to the forums to see what other people have said about a scent before deciding. I can't help much on the cheesecakey/foodie scents (unless you're looking for chocolatey?

) but a more adult/sexy scent that I love is Manhatten. Not too citrusy but very hard to describe otherwise - classy and very night-on-the-town adultish.

I've heard of Bpal on and off for ages. It wasn't until a guru on youtube that I love tried some imps that i became completely intrigued. I have a huge list of the ones I want to try but price keeps holding me back. I think I'll end up waiting until the holidays or next tax season and then drop a chunk.

If you go to the sales section of the BPAL forums, you can buy a few imps for cheap. Not to enable or anything, that's how I ended up with a ten bottle a month habit and all

 

[MAChostage]

What have you gotten lately, martiangurll? (Not that I need encouragement to buy!)

 

[Amber Dawn]

I love my BPALs though I haven't worn them much in the last month. Can't blame the heat since there isn't any!

 

[QueenOfSnark]

I've been off and on wearing my BPALs, letting some of the newer ones "marinate". Weenies should be up mid-August, though I only seriously plunk down money during Lupercalia. If Ghoulish is up this year I'll grab a bottle, but aside from GCs I think my wallet will be BPAL-proof until next January/February.

Guess some of you know me from the forums, my name is Babypopje there as well!
Someone there advised me to take a peek here on Speckta, so... here I am!

Found you!!

I have a feeling I'll be bumping this thread a lot.... SO much good stuff....

 

[Babypopje]

Yay, you found me!

And yes, I agree, so much good stuff! I'd need a big trunk to house everything that I want from that. A trunk? No, a whole room!
Ooooo imagine that, a whole room full of BPAL, MAC and NARS! *drools*

OH MY GOD!!! A room full of BPAL, MAC, and NARS!! And I would want a MUFE section as well.... ugh. Now I'm gonna be daydreaming all day. XD Thanks for that.

Welcome to the BPAL forum here on Specktra! It's been pretty quiet here for a while now.

Well, time to change that, then!

What did you guys think of the Weenie update? Did you order smellies? And which ones?
