It’s been far too long since I’ve played a tabletop roleplaying game. I miss Saturday nights spent with friends around a crowded table overflowing with caffeinated drinks, Chipotle burritos, and some noxious smelling but delicious chips. The food and drinks were stuffed in between dice, character sheets, pencils, graph paper, and the single calculator that everyone shared. Games would last until the early hours of the next morning, and occasionally I’d let my character suffer an injury so I could crawl into the corner and go to sleep. It was a singular yet familiar environment.
Our friends at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have developed a RPG series devoted to gaming night. They are known for blending perfume oils with exacting precision. They take their time and experiment. The end result is bigger than perfume oil—it’s experiences. It’s places. It’s RPG characters. Each person who rubs a BPAL oil into his or her skin will smell something different. That’s partially because of body chemistry and mostly because perfume oils shouldn’t be like a McDonald’s hamburger. They shouldn’t be the same to everyone, and the team at BPAL utilize their skills to customize the experience.

Our friends at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have come out with a new range of scents based on Dungeons & Dragons.
The RPG line includes the enchanting scents of Elf, Dwarf, Half Elf, Halfling, Orc, Cleric, Fighter, Mage, Paladin, Ranger and Rogue.
Ooooh…Orc scent. So sexy. Apparently, it smells like “field grey courgette musk, roughly cured leather, and vetiver.”

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab does so much more than just make scents. They bottle places, characters, and moments. Opening a bottle of their perfume oil will take you to another place or transport you into the pages of your favorite comic book. It’s fun to wear a bit of say, Machu Picchu or Hellboy, around on your skin all day.
