I am offering a collection of AT LEAST 50 sample-sized vials of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume oil, AT LEAST 10 of which will be limited edition scents. I will probably add more to this collection as I go through and test some scents that I haven't worn in a while. ETA: I'm now up to 17 limited edition scents in the grab bag. SEVENTEEN. Six of them are from the currently available Carnaval Diabolique line, so if you find one you love, you'll have time to order whole bottles of it. (Samples of LE scents are not available directly from the lab -- you need to get someone with a bottle to decant one for you.)
Some are unopened and fresh from the lab, some have been swapped throughout BPAL fandom and are getting low, but I guarantee you at least fifty different fabulous smells. If you are fairly new to perfume (particularly perfumes made with natural essential oils), this is a fantastic way for you to learn which ingredients ("notes") work well on your skin and which don't, since most of the scent descriptions at the
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab website include a list of the primary notes.
If you have kids or teens who like to mess around with cosmetics, pretties, and fantasy-themed things, at this price this would be a great way to indulge them. (You may wish to edit the collection first, if you don't want to have to explain "Sacred Whore of Babylon" to your ten year-old.)
(By the way, if all of these samples were full, this would be approximately $250 $180 worth of perfume. [ETA: Bad math! I shouldn't do calculations in my head.])
I will ship to anywhere in the world, after the first of August (I will be unavailable for the last two weeks of July).
If you really really want to know which scents are in the grab bag so far, I can tell you privately, but wouldn't that spoil the surprise?
