About the perfume
Woman in Front of the Setting Sun is an oil perfume by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, released in 2024. The fragrance was created for women and men, and is positioned as unisex.
The release is part of the A Little Lunacy collection, where BPAL’s signature penchant for atmospheric, evocative and emotional compositions feels especially natural.
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab was founded in Los Angeles in 2000 and from the very beginning developed as a perfume house unconstrained by the conventions of the traditional industry.
Woman in Front of the Setting Sun continues this creative philosophy: the name evokes a cinematic image, while the concise amber concept leaves room for individual interpretation on the skin.
Character and scent profile
The main accord of the composition is amber, placing the fragrance within the amber olfactory group and family.
Its mood can be described as dense, warm and expressive, without being tied to a strictly masculine or feminine wardrobe.
This is a perfume for those who enjoy pronounced oriental nuances and the rich presence of an oil-based formula.
Woman in Front of the Setting Sun was created by Brian Constantine and Elizabeth Barrial.
Their work focuses on the sole declared accord—amber—so the description contains no artificially added citrus, floral or woody notes.
The way the composition unfolds on the skin may be perceived differently from person to person, but its overall direction remains rich and amber-focused.
Sillage and wearability
Woman in Front of the Setting Sun is described as having very strong sillage.
Oil perfumes are best applied sparingly, especially when first getting to know the fragrance: start with a small amount on the skin and observe how the composition develops throughout the day.
Specific dosage recommendations for skin and clothing are not provided in the database, so spraying or applying the fragrance to textiles should be done with caution.
In terms of mood, this release is especially fitting for cool weather, evenings, meetings and events when you want to make an impression with an expressive amber cloud.
At the same time, its unisex character makes it versatile: on one person it may smell softer and warmer, while on another it may come across as deeper and bolder.
