The very essence of romance is uncertainty. Oscar Wilde

As promised or was it a threat? we've launched a special episode of 15 MINUTES in which Tom and Galen help BPAL collector Tina identify perfumes that were stripped of their labels by a very naughty cockatiel named Biscuits N. Gravy. Got all that? The results are on our YouTube channel, friends!

Sphere + Sundry is running a giveaway on Instagram with guest appearances by BPAL and Ceremonia!

"The researchers theorise that the dramatic environmental changes may have caused early humans to seek more shelter. This could explain the sudden appearance of cave art around the world roughly 42,000 years ago."

There's plenty to sing about in this series of perfumes inspired by historical sea-faring tunes! Labbies Tom and Galen are here with the first half of the collection, sniffing and telling so's you'll know which be treasure and which be bilge. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com//limit/fire-down-below/ Discussed in this video:... A HUNDRED YEARS AGO A-ROVIN' ASLEEP IN THE DEEP BONEY WAS A WARRIOR GOOD SHIP VENUS HANGING JOHNNY

A note from our founder. Please help if you can!

Happy birthday, Pamela Colman Smith, born Feb 16, 1878.

"Circe Indiviosa captures the scent of exercising one’s powersone’s divinityin murky and dangerous and exhilarating ways. It’s such a gorgeous fragrance, mossy and musky with a subtly bitter treacle, and vaguely electric in the way that euphoria resulting from ill-advised behavior makes you feel. Sort of like WHEEEEEEEEE OH SHIT WHOOPS." The reviews are in! Sarah Elizabeth has sounded off on the new perfumes inspired by famous artworks which are showcased in her new book, T...he Art of the Occult. Head on over to Haute Macabre to hear what she has to say: https://hautemacabre.com//perfumed-portals-ars-inspiratio/ And of course, the perfumes can be found here: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com//collab/ars-inspiratio/

We've added some exciting stickers n' pins to the "Oddments" section of our site including some I VOTED swag to help pound the point home, come what may. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-catego/oddments/ Here's a note from our founder, Elizabeth, about the importance of encouraging stragglers to participate in this historic election:... "Elections impact so much of our daily lives, from the taxes we pay to the rights we possess. Elections determine the quality of the air that we breathe, the extent of our bodily autonomy, who can or cannot get married, whether our roads are paved, whether we have water we can drink. There is nothing in our lives that isn’t touched by politics, and for many of us the act of simply being alive is a political act. Sometimes it may feel like your vote doesn’t matter, but it does. If it didn’t matter, there wouldn’t be such a powerful effort to suppress the vote. Your vote is your voice; it is an opportunity to shape the world that you live in. It is a vital step in ensuring the safety, security, and health of your community, your loved ones, and yourself. Vote in every election, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Yeah, the Presidential elections are exciting and world-shaking, but in many ways it’s the downballot races and propositions that have a more immediate effect on your life. Vote, encourage your network to vote. If enough of us use our power for good, there is nothing that can stop us from making the world a kinder, brighter, more compassionate place for all."

We made a cool, spooky playlist to keep you company throughout this special night, and beyond. Happy Halloween! Featuring Drew Rausch's art for our PLEASE SCREAM INSIDE YOUR HAUNTED HOUSE perfume blend: "Funnel cakes entombed in teakwood, cedar, and sawdust." https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com//please-scream-inside-/

Have we mentioned that we think we're very funny? Although you may not share our "scents" of humor, you may still be intrigued by this series of five shiny Hair Gloss blends starring our favorite horror pinup queens, the Hallowenches (as drawn by Aiden Casserly), who are weathering their respective quarantines about as gracefully as you might expect. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com//gloom-meeting-hair-gl/ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, POETRICIA... For the love of God, Poetricia Withdrew from view and doesn’t miss ya Isolation suits her fine, Her best friend is a cask of wine. Dried red fruits, red benzoin, poppy tar, and amontillado. GLOOM MEETING Facial recognition sucks When your look is corpse deluxe So when Grizelda touches base, She always brings an extra face. Sweet oakmoss, vetiver, and white sandalwood. HOWLING IN VAIN Please don’t think it rude of Sylvia Who’s eight months overdue to kill ya She’s staying safe, but howls in vain When moonbeams strike her window pane. Moonlit amber fur, basmati rice, and champaca absolute. SHELTER-IN-TOMB Callidora’s rather haughty About her perfect antibodies, But doesn’t want to share with ya; Maybe next millennia! Clove-tinted blood drops, sweet aged patchouli, fig milk, and red amber. STITCHED TOGETHER Lavina’s nights are stitched together From the dead bits most would sever With lightning zapping from her eyes She’ll shine, but there’s no rush to rise. A shock of green tea mochi and chocolate mint ice cream.

Pre-orders for our MORINUTUR and BOOK OF THE DEAD scent lockets are still open! Just a reminder that, as pre-orders, these require a longer turnaround time approximately 4-6 weeks before we are able to ship them, and from there the timing is out of our hands. The waiting is the hardest part! But thank you for investing in a bright and silvery future, and we appreciate your patience as we hasten these beauties into your clutches. Here's the locket link, for anyone who w...ould like to know more: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-categ//lockets/

Yes, we are aware that our website is currently down. It’s being looked into! Thanks for the concern, please scream inside your heart until the issue is resolved.

The oil blends created by Twilight Alchemy Lab are more than just perfume. BPAL’s sister store hand-blends and consecrates these as tools for ritual, ceremonial, or personal use, bringing decades of experience and dedicated practice to the workbench. ROSE-TINTED MIRROR is part of our recent series of BPAL + TAL offerings, addressing challenges that are unique to this very difficult year. No particular magickal background or experience is necessary in order to experiment wit...h them! Even just wearing one as fragrance should impart a sense of comfort and help you connect with the oil’s intent. But they may also be useful as part of an advanced witch’s toolkit. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com//rose-tinted-mirror-pe/ Rose-Tinted Mirror is a gentle little pick me up that will help remind you of all that’s radiant about you, inside and out. There’s a sensual aspect that will assist in reconnecting you with the joys of your own body, and a heart-healing aspect that will assist you in pushing through your anxiety, grief, or fear so that you can open yourself up more freely to joy again. You are beautiful, you deserve happiness. Rose otto, red benzoin, mallow, amber resinoid, CO2 extract of orris root, balm of gilead, frankincense, honey absolute, and violet leaf. Please note: this oil contains honey and is not vegan.

Our Scorpio friends would be so peeved if we didn’t remember to post something to mark the beginning of their season. Not that they expected any better! Anyhow here’s this handsome Scorpio scent locket, in sterling silver which has been partially gold-washed using a method popularized in the 19th century. Consider it an advertisement for your sensitivity, as well as your scrumptious scent. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com//lockets/scorpio-locket/
