Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) Anniversary : 15th Anniversary (2017) Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)
In 2009, Dirty South Will call began (we love you, Lisa!), and we were voted Best Scent Indulgence for Your Inner Goth by the Village Voice. E! filmed at Los Angeles Lunacy for That Morning Show, and now that I think of it, I don’t know that I ever actually saw that episode.
That year, we commemorated the 200thbirthday of the death of Edgar Allan Poe at a Dark Delicacies event with Gris Grimly, and thanks to our Who Killed Amanda Palmer series, I was given the inestimable gift of conceiving of a scent based on cupcake spatter pattern analysis.
Our Hellboy line premiered in summer of 2009, and not only was the process of translating Hellboy into scent an absolute thrill, I am also now blessed by the inexplicable joy of being able to see a frog in a teacup on our labels every day. I am always deeply moved by Mike Mignola’s art and storytelling, and every year I look forward to his October horror film recommendations.
The Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire was hosted in Innsmouth that year, and the skies over BPAL were filled with the screeches of magah birds and howling servitors.
Cigar smoke wafting over Georgia peaches, black goat wool, and a dollop of Mason and Jenkins’ Port jelly.
