  3. Hi friends! Our monthly merriment meetup in L.A. is tomorrow. Besides all the fun we have planned, including your opportunity to sample just about every perfume, hair gloss, and potion we've ever concocted, we'll answer this question: What happens when dried roses, rose leaf, Spanish moss, oakmoss, and deep brown earth are dusted with the season's signature olfactory sensation (for consumers of cappuccino, cheesecake, and candles, anyway)? Come and get your PUMPKIN SPICE ZOMBI ($24), a limited edition, only at L.A. October BOO-nacy. We hope to see you! Friday, October 20, 6 to 9 p.m. It's at the lab 12120 Sherman Way North Hollywood, California 91605
  4. Hi everyone! Forgive us please for the late notice. We were all at Comic Con, you see. But now we're wrapping our minds around what's next. And what's next is BOO-nacy!

Come find out or just have fun fooling around with us in anticipation of our all-time favorite holiday. Here are the details. We hope to see you at one or all of this BOO-nacy. L.A. BOO-nacy: Friday, October 20, from 6 to 9 pm BPAL Lab 12120 Sherman Way, North Hollywood, California 91605 Special guests include Drew Rausch. You know him from much of our label art.

  5. Hello friends and happy Friday the 13th. We suggest reading this week's Black Phoenix Gazette. It's informative, safe, and fun. Have a good weekend!
  6. Hello One and All! It's LUNACY, featuring BEAVER MOON. It'll gnaw-ck your socks off. Our Single Note for the month is BLACK POMEGRANATE. And here's a bonus ... tomorrow is another Friday the 13th, so batten down the hatches and position your bottle of THIRTEEN judiciously between both nostrils. They're online, of course. Or come to our October BOO-nacy event at the lab and smell them in person. That's on Friday, October 20. We hope to smell you there. Thanks!
  7. Hi everyone! We have donated a coffinload of perfume oil blends, hair glosses, and atmosphere sprays to the silent auction for the Safe Haven Medical Outreach Fundraising Gala on October 21 in LA. It's a $399 value, packed with a bunch of 2017 Weenies, plus treats from the Dog Days of Summer collection, and more. (You'll fnd a pic on our Facebook.) You have to be there to bid--unless send a gala fairy. You get drinks and appetizers *and* you support medical outreach to kids and families in Cambodia. That's a worthy cause.
  8. Hi everyone! The Dog Days of Summer hair glosses got a great review from We Heart This--it's also a good read, complete with really cute, never seen before, dog pictures! Our ode to the very special dogs of our lives inspired our reviewer to reminisce about the dogs of her life. In case you missed it you can find the collection here, at Black Phoenix Trading Post. Sales benefit the Pasadena Humane Society. That's all for now.

    Crimson Peak on the Mind

    Hi everyone, It's been two years since Guillermo Del Toro gave us so much to love and fear in Crimson Peak. So, we're pulling out our olfactory tribute, the Crimson Peak perfume blends and atmosphere sprays, and revisiting the smell of dread. It's a little creepy, but nothing we can't handle.

    Happy Anniversary, ParaNorman!

    Hi everyone! Today marks the fifth anniversary of Laika’s release of ParaNorman, the stop-motion wonder adored by kids, adult, ghosts, dogs, and zombies everywhere. Here’s a little ParaNorman fun for those of you on Facebook or Twitter. We’re celebrating this august event with a little ParaNorman trivia from IMDB: This was the final film of the legendary Elaine Stritch, who passed away on July 17, 2014. Laika used 3D printers to generate all of the different faces needed for the characters. The story is set in the town of Blithe Hollow, whose name is a mash-up of two other ghost stories: Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit and Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Not that you need one, but you now have a wonderful excuse to revisit BPAL’s fragrant tribute to this favorite film, in 10 quirky, sweetly animated scents.
