BPAL Update XV
Here's a much-belated batch of reviews from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. First, we have the Four Horsemen set, then some assorted scents.
( The Bow and Crown of Conquest, The Great Sword of War, The Scales of Deprivation, Death on a Pale Horse, Seraglio, Torture King, and Dead Man's Hand )

Osun is one I really wanted to love. It just sounded like it would be so me, unfortunately it makes me sneeze like mad. I am not sure what it is that does it, but oh man does it ever. I was most bummed because it's a honey based scent which I usually love, but my body just wasn't having it. I think though that I just might wait a while and try it again because a big part of me wants to love this scent. Also I've had alot of colds lately and it might have influenced the sneezing more than the scent.
Bewitched is a freebie imp they sent me. The description was compelling.
BEWITCHED
Deep, luscious green and berry scents that evoke images of woodland witchcraft and the raw power of nature: blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk.
I've found that I really like this so far despite the fact it has dark musk in it. I'm not a big fan of musk scents, but this is fruity and fabulous but deeper, and really reminds you of wild berries and the woods. I really like this scent, and so does my daughter I keep finding her trying to sneak it on for school..LOL It's just a nice fruity musky scent.
Dana O'Shee is one that I ordered to try, plus they sent me an extra imp a s a freebie. I thought this might mean this scent was meant for me, especially as it's a milk and honey scent which I love, and in the bottle you can smell it very softly and subtly. It comes across as a very light delicate scent in the bottle for me, and does the same on my skin. It's very light and lovely, but subtle and doesn't have much throw. It's a scent for me that stays for a while scenting very lightly and then just fades away. I might layer it with other honey scents and see how it works then, but I was most dissapointed at just how light it smells.
Anyways, hope this wasn't that bad for reviews. I'm just not very good at picking out the various "flavours" in the oils as others, I guess.. LOL!

Your experience of Dana O'Shee was mine, basically. It's such a light scent! I have Osun, but haven't tried it, and now I REALLY want to try Bewitched. I don't know how that's managed not to make it onto my list!

As for the Bewitched, it really is worth checking out, as it's such a nice scent. It's sweet smelling but in a berry sort of way..lol I keep wanting to like Osun. It's such a pretty scent, and right up my avenue..but at the time I tried it, it wasn't really working for me.
And yeah, I had noticed you had the same impression of Dana O'Shee in your review of it. It's such a pretty scent, it's just too bad it doesnt make much of an impression or stick around long.
I think based on your reviews I am going to try Schezerade and Seraglio the next time I order though, as it sounds really good.
