BPAL vintage circle: Snake Pit
THIS CIRCLE IS CLOSED. The information you see here is out-of-date, and most of these oils (and their leftovers) are gone. Thanks for your interest.
I am doing a decant circle of Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs perfume oils. LJ friends, most of you will not give a good god-damn about this decant circle, but you're totally welcome to hop on board if you're curious. Each decant is 1ml (in a tiny glass vial with a wand applicator, like the teensy ones you get at perfume counters), but since they are perfume oils and thusly more concentrated than alcohol-based perfume sprays, these little vials ("imps" or decants, in the jargon) will both last MUCH longer on your skin and clothing, and are enough for several applications; I generally get at least 7 out of an imp. Let me know if you're curious!
For those in the know: A snake set, including Snake Oil (but NOT including Faiza, since she's not Snake Oil-based) will run you $50 even and I'll leave shipping free because I love you. A FULL set will just be that one imp extra, $53.75. Up to the full set, packing & shipping is $3 with DC via Paypal; if you want add-ons, it'll go up fifty cents per bottle. (So, if you want to add on 2 bottles from the Lab, it would be $4 for shipping.)
If you would like the imp in a bottle and all other imps are sold, let me know! First come, first served. For addon bottles, please use PPcalc; the price will be lab price + Paypal fees.
Sounds good?
The original, the one, the only . . . Snake oil! $2.75 per decant or FREE with all the other snakes.

If ALL of the snakes have sufficient interest, I will order the whole set and end up with an imp of the elusive ANACONDA. Let me know how you'd like to see it distributed!
Poll Anaconda
At the moment, I plan to place the order on December 15th to give ample time for add-ons. This puts ETA of the bottles after New Year and decanting done a few days after that, barring any nasty cases of pipette thumb. This does mean any Yule bottles are totally game for add-ons!
I will keep this post updated regarding the status of this order! If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate--ask!
UPDATES:
12/2 decanting supplies ordered! A full gross of vials, yay!
12/4 decanting supplies received! Not a broken vial among them. Also, packing supplies received, and the bubble mailers are TWICE as big as I thought they were. I will probably be cutting them in half for the sake of security (so the package is tighter around the decants), or just folding them in half and taping them that way.
12/15 ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED. Free shipping from the lab, woo!
12/31 CLICK AND SHIP OH MY GOODNESS. I'm super psyched, you guys.
1/5 I got the package! This is more bottles than my entire collection, holy crap. I also got my supplementary package from Pilot Vials as well. I'll be busy tomorrow night, but I'll see what I can get done Thursday (1/7) and Friday (1/8) so packages can go out (or at least start going out) on Saturday.
1/19: AN UPDATE! The label-making process has taken WAY longer than I anticipated (this is the first time I've done this, I had no idea) and I had some minor spillage which require extensive re-labelling so I don't send out stained labels. AND firefox crashes every time I print something with paypal shipping. Nonetheless, be assured that packages are being wrapped up with care & frimps and going to move toward you this week. DC numbers for all! (Well, for everyone in this country, anyway.)
Also, the final word on Anaconda is: complicated, unfortunately! One imp can only stretch so far (about ten of them, actually--beyond that and it's barely a drop of oil in the vial). Some people will get testable amounts of anaconda; everyone else will get extra imps and decants (hopefully ones you'll like, based on your snake pit preferences).
