Like alcohol distributors, perfumers are not required to list all their ingredients. Even if they do, it may be ambiguous and include undisclosed animal products. Many perfumes produced by big fashion houses and cosmetics companies are definitely tested on animals. In response to these concerns, the perfumistas at Basenotes recommended Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, an independent company based out of North Hollywood, CA with a unique Gothic aesthetic and a dedicated cult following. This is perhaps due to BPAL's charming melodramatic literary descriptions of each startlingly unique fragrance.

Self-description from their about section:


Fin de Siècle movement to the ghastliest of Lovecraftian monstrosities, we specialize in eliciting emotional responses through perfume and creating unique, masterfully molded scent environments that capture legends and folklore, poetry, and the stuff of dreams and nightmares.


Though we are at times campy, and sometimes very tongue-in-cheek, we never lose sight of our one true goal: moving the soul and spirit through the unbridled artistry of scent, and remaining unbound by conventional fashion.
