Morocco Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab for women and men

Lots of vanilla, sandalwood, spices, and carnation. I can't quite decide whether I smell like a baked good... it's a nice sort of confusion though.
The oil wasn't as strong as some other BPALs and my sample was gone in 2 uses; for a little while I had two amazing-smelling sweaters! I may actually order a bottle of this.

Soulwarming composition, warm touch of the desert.

Lightly spiced, soft oriental vanilla blend, very pleasant, cosy, close to skin fragrance.

In the top intensive carnation aroma dominant with incence,cardamom, pale cinnamon and a sigh of pink pepper. The incence makes the opening slightly bitter and a bit medicine-like but after minutes vanilla, musk and sandalwood comes and make the scent warm, deep and delicious. The essence is beautifully blended, the carnation is dominant in the top and the drydown as well.

If I want to take an imaginary journey to Morocco, I just apply a drop from this essence, I close my eyes and just enjoy the trip in the desert.:)

this smells delicious on me & contains some of my very favourite notes - vanilla, carnation, sandalwood, red musk, spices. It's warm & dry, like the sand. I absolutely love it!

It lasts a good while on me - but a great way to make bpals last is to buy a filigree locket that opens, put some oil on a piece of cloth or tissue & pop it inside. the warmth of your skin against the locket will waft the scent about in a delightful way.

I love BPAL & have learnt so much about notes that I like/dislike from trying their samples.

eta - he biggest note is this scent is not listed - vanilla - and I believe cassis is listed as a mistake & should read 'cassia' (like cinnamon).

I received this one as a sample, and I agree that it doesn't fit the description - I'd have never suspected it was as lovely as it is and wouldn't have bought it based on just that! This is a powdery-dry but delicious scent, and does remind me a little of vanilla.... it would be like being in a marketplace with spices and the smell of something mouthwatering wafting through the air. It's so warm and delicious - not exactly like something I'd want to eat, necessarily, but... mmm! This one is worth buying. And on me it actually lasts quite a long while.

Went on like the hated Mysore Sandalwood: woody sweet oily sandalwood, but dried rapidly down to a sweetly woody spiced musk. Very nice, but doesn't match the description, as Ouch! says.

The description of this had me at Hello!

I do have to say, this smells nothing like I thought it was going to. Completley threw me off. This smells extremley sweet and vaniallry to me, the same vanilla that's in "Antique Lace". There is a slight spice/woodsy element, but overall the oil has hardly any throw. Only after re applying a good few times does it start to jump off of my skin.
My chemistry always amps vanilla and I'm not sure if it's in here but this basically smells like a musky vanilla on me!!

Even though it doesn't smell like I thought it would. It's still very very nice. If it had more throw I would be buying a bottle of this but, As far as the more "Famous Black Phoenix" blends go. This one is a slight dissapointment. I expected more...I don't know if that's hype or not but hey!!
