    Midsummer Scream 2026

    Good news: BPAL will have a presence at this year's Midsummer Scream convention, which will be held in Long Beach from August 7-9. Chrissy will be there with the same setup she's been bringing to other local events over the past year. Tickets available here: https://midsummerscream.org Worth mentioning that our Lunacy bestie Drew Rausch will also have a booth, selling spooky arts and other merchandise, and will be very happy to see BPAL folks.

    Rakshasa Party Magician

    I picked up a decant in a destash. It's oatmeal with gingerbread spices, very comforting. I don't pick up on the rice pudding (but that might be what I'm getting as oatmeal), cocoa powder or cotton candy, but I always amp gingerbread spice. I've got a lot of gingerbread spice perfumes because I like them, but I might let this one go and maybe someone else will get to experience allll the notes.

    Snow White Rider

    I bought this bottle blind because I had a version of Snow White where the flowers hit the perfect balance between powder and bright floral. It was gorgeous, and in general I am never one to stay away from a leather note, so how could this not work on me? Snow White rider leans more powdery on me, but it’s comforting with that leather base. I can’t say this screams sandalwood to me, but my skin tends to amp sweetness and that may be why my nose is thrown off. Throughout the day I get little puffs of powdery vanilla with some depth, and it’s just such a soft, pleasant experience. I would say the coconut-y vibe is accurate, it truly feels like there’s a creamy note that I can’t place, but that’s the beauty of the Snow White floral, I think.

    Batty Lace

    2025: Got a frimp in a destash purchase. Wow, never would I have thought a scent with leather could smell this good on me. I usually amp it until that new car smell exudes from my pores, but Batty Lace is more like aged vanillic parchment paper with a hint of caramel. Quite lovely. Will definitely use up the imp and may seek out more.

    Alice Hair Gloss

    I just used up the last of my decant of this and I have to say I really love it. I get milk and carnation in equal parts, not much of the other notes. I like Alice as a perfume oil but this just does it for me on another level. Pretty present for a day or more but not overwhelming. There is just something a little reserved about the scent that plays nice with other fragrances and is always welcome.

    Snowy Circus Peanut

    This is basically just Snow White with a touch of banana. It has a similar Play-doh quality at the start. As it settles, the banana scent disappears, and I'm left with Snow White. Definitely not bad, but it doesn't stand out either.

    Thirteen (13): February 2026

    Unfortunately, I didn't find this to be one of the better Thirteen scents. In the bottle, it smells like a Tootsie Roll. When I put it on, it still smells like a Tootsie Roll, but with a heavy dose of what smells like Cat Churning Butter, which must be the condensed milk note. To me, it just makes everything smell sour. It's a real shame; the description of all the notes sounds like it would have been phenomenal--so many other scents I would normally enjoy!--but that milk note spoils it. :/ As the perfume gets time to settle, some of that sourness dissipates, but it never really achieves what's described. It's more of a subtle, milky Tootsie Roll. I cannot emphasize enough how much this smells like a Tootsie Roll. XD Maybe as the bottle ages it will shift into something better.

    Terrible Moon

    This lunacy scent is mostly about the honeyed amber on me. I get touches of the wool, beeswax, and sandalwood, but none of the other notes can compete with the force of that honeyed amber. However, when layered with some of its duets, I found that all of the duets always remained on top of Terrible Moon's honeyed amber base. So even though I layered a drop of Terrible Moon with a drop of each of the following duets, the duet was always the stronger blend: Cardamom and Black Amber Pistachio and Vanilla Buttercream Steamed Milk and Marzipan I prefer it layered with the two gourmand duets since it takes it more out of cozy resin territory and adds that extra sweetness that I enjoy. This moon isn't a scent I need more of, but it was fun to get to try it and layer it with some of its duets.

    Terrible Moon: Pistachio and Vanilla Buttercream

    This duet features an almond-y sort of pistachio note, backed by the sweet vanilla buttercream. Unlike almond notes, which tend to be fleeting, though, the pistachio sticks around and hovers above the buttercream base. I like this, but I think just my decant will be enough.

    The Dildo Thief Hair Gloss

    Silken indigo musk, tatami straw, black tea, golden amber, yuzu peel, and black plum.
