The Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is a specialty perfumer with a focus on mythology, the occult, and classical literature. The purveyors of the site ply their wares online and in specialty boutiques, catering complex, delicious-smelling oil perfumes with names like Cthulhu, Sacred Whore of Babylon, Green Phoenix, and other such goods to the Internet at large. The female populace of the Internet has rewarded this with the creation of a new fandom; imps ears, the tiny vials of samples, are traded between devotees along with care packages and the larger 5ml bottles.
Scents are documented in online reviews; these often find their way to the website forums, where they are categorized and documented under the name of the product line and scent name.

Notable lines of product include perfumes inspired by Neil Gaiman's works, a steampunk-themed set, alchemy, various carnival scents, and seasonal perfumes that vary throughout the year, such as Lunacy .
