It was opened and sealed again by the customs, huh...
Since BPTP products are available on the BPAL website now, I can order BPAL and BPTP products together.
Here's what I have purchased and what came in the mail.
Sloth / Bruised Violet Compound / Chaotic / Evil / Mage / Arkham
Snakes Slithering Through Stinging Nettle / In Time of Plague / Interfector / Theodosius, the Legerdemain / Western Diamondback / The Parliament of Monsters / Brumation
Doc Constantine's Medicine Show / Alchemical Laboratory / Salon #10
It was shipped after 17 days, of which I very much appreciate, even though they have made it clear that turn around time will be increased due to COVID-19. (It was usually 4 weeks.)
Huge thank you to the Lab!
I have placed some 8 or 9 orders before, of which all of them were shipped within 4 weeks. The discontinued products on their etsy was shipped immediately. And that one time USPS fucked up and it was BPAL customer service who got it sorted.
I have noticed that if you order from the Carnival Diabolique collection, they send you one ticket for the carnival and a postcard for the scent you have purchased.
Sometimes you get random gifts like stickers or postcards.
The samples came in the brown bag, which I found very adorable. The 2ml spray samples are called "goblin squirts"after all.
From my past experience with BPAL, they are very generous with the free samples. A few of my favorites were discovered by frimps (free imp's ears), which was not something I would have purchased based on description or notes. Like Artificer this time.
I'm more of a resin and incense lover.
I am pleasantly surprised that I got some frimps! It is a hard time for the lab (and the rest of the world) and it would be understandable if they don't send them. FREEBIES WERE GIFTS AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED.
First off, all of the sprays I got came in separated like so. They began separating immediately after a good shake. It may not show in picture due to light colour of the substance. It's nothing a shake before use can't fix but I am kind of annoyed...
They definitely smell smooth like essential oils, without the more aggressive opening of alcohol based sprays.
That's great.
As I am more familiar to their perfume oils, Here are my thoughts.

Smells like Iago.... and tobacco. If Iago had a more evil twin, that would be it.

Resembled something strongly. I wonder what it is. Tombeur without the Snake Oil?
Alchemical Laboratory
Smells like... if you take the Turkish delight out of Rose Cross and make the rest of it a powder. This is very, VERY powdery. I like it.
By the way I have a small cabinet to store all my BPAL 5ml bottles. Here it is.
