Persephone's Ascent: Perfume Oil, Hair Gloss by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab was one of the very first advertisers on the Haute Macabre blog, and in 2011 we began collaborating on perfumes together. Since then, HM x BPAL has become an ongoing and ever-expanding collection of vegan perfume oils, hair glosses, lotions, and room sprays. Each fragrance starts as a feeling, a memory, or an experience, and is then conceptualized & brought to life by Elizabeth Barrial, the indie house’s master perfumer.

On a personal note, Black Phoenix has become my family in every sense of the word. After years of emailing BPAL’s co-owner, Brian, to place Haute Macabre’s orders, we eventually met, and I’ve had stars in my eyes for him ever since. We now live in a haunted house outside of Philadelphia, and I am grateful every day for that initial ad space inquiry over 15 years ago. 

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab has combined Tahitian Moni, Camelina Oil, Argan Oil, and Karanja oil to give your mane a gleaming finishing shine without leaving it weighed-down or greasy. Camelina Oil provides a protective coating for the hair follicles, argan oil nourishes stressed hair, enhances elasticity, and repairs cellular damage to the hair strand itself, and a touch of monoi oil adds moisture and enhances softness.

To use: spray lightly onto wet or dry hair Your hair will be silkier, shinier, glossier, more vibrant, and frizz-free. Black Phoenix’s Hair Gloss is paraben and sulfate free, and contains no petro-chemicals, no GMOs, and no triclosan. Our hair gloss has a six-month shelf life.

As always, no animals were harmed during the creation of this product, and all products were tested on friends and family. Vegan and cruelty-free.
