About the Perfume
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Performing Cunnilingus on a Colleague is a 2023 oil perfume created for those who see perfumery as a space for freedom, self-irony, and bold artistic expression.
This unisex fragrance has a distinctive character and an exceptionally strong sillage, instantly attracting attention rather than trying to remain unnoticed.
The release belongs to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, a brand founded in 2000 in the creative atmosphere of Los Angeles.
The house's philosophy is built around experimentation, imagery, and the ability to transform unusual stories into olfactory impressions.
Performing Cunnilingus on a Colleague fits this aesthetic perfectly: its name immediately sets a provocative tone, while the composition itself supports it with a spicy-sweet, warm, and sensual character.
Character and Development
The fragrance pyramid features amber, blackcurrant, clove, ginger, honey, pink pepper, and musk.
Together, they create a layered accord at the intersection of fruity juiciness, spicy warmth, floral astringency, and soft sweetness.
The fragrance is not divided into top, middle, and base notes in the database, so it is better understood as a cohesive composition that gradually shifts its nuances on the skin.
From the first moments, blackcurrant and pink pepper can create a bright, slightly sparkling impression, while ginger adds dynamism and piquancy.
Clove emphasizes the floral-spicy facet, honey rounds out the scent, while amber and musk form a dense, warm foundation.
As a result, Performing Cunnilingus on a Colleague comes across not as a linear sweet fragrance, but as a rich blend contrasting fresh astringency, spices, and a soft, skin-like sensuality.
Wearability and Sillage
Its exceptionally strong sillage makes this perfume a choice for situations when you want to make a statement.
It is especially well suited to cool weather, evenings, intimate gatherings, parties, and creative events where unusual and memorable fragrances are welcome.
In hot weather, the composition should be used more cautiously: its amber-musk density and honeyed sweetness may become especially intense.
Precise recommendations for the number of applications on skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
Given its oil-based formula and exceptionally strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount, apply the fragrance to pulse points, and assess its development after a few minutes.
It may last longer on fabric, so it is best to test the material's reaction on an inconspicuous area before applying it.
The Perfumer(s)
The fragrance was created by Brian Constantine and Elizabeth Barrial.
Their work centers on an expressive combination of musk, amber, and spicy accents, giving the composition a character that is simultaneously daring, warm, and sensual.
This release demonstrates how Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab uses perfume not only as a beautiful accessory, but also as a way to create a mood and an emotional scene.
What to Compare It With
To explore a similar direction further, consider Brocard Spicy Clementine, as well as Berdoues Mandarine & Cuir and Le Labo Baie Rose 26 Chicago.
They offer an opportunity to compare spicy, fruity, and prominent sillage nuances, although Performing Cunnilingus on a Colleague retains its own provocative presentation and distinctive atmosphere.
