The Snow Moon update is live at BPAL and BPTP!

 

 

SNOW MOON 2012

In December, the skeletal, ice-rimmed fingers of winter take hold, and the nights are long, chill and dark. The first flurries of snow touch the land, and the earth itself becomes quiet. A scent of purity and silence, soft with falling snow, as dark as Midwinter: an icy flurry over the winter blooms of narcissus, hellebore, pansy crocus, dahlia, tulip, chrysanthemum, daphne and white rose, with a hint of fir and birch.

This month’s single notes are:

 

IRANIAN GALBANUM

Iranian Galbanum possesses a complex tart, green, resinous scent that is strangely amorphous and mercurial. There is a balsamic woody tone to it at times, and at others, it appears metallic and aldehydic. Galbanum corresponds to the Fool and the element Air, and embodies the qualities of innocence and surrender. The scent is calming and meditative; the oil can be utilized for self-reflection, initiating new beginnings, and soothing wounded souls.

 

RUM-SOAKED FRENCH TONKA

I love the hell out of tonka, but using the absolute in perfumery is not a particularly great idea: tonka beans possess a high concentration of coumarin, an anticoagulant that is toxic to both the liver and kidneys, and might be carcinogenic to boot. Not fun stuff! Our tonka accord is a sweet, warmly sensual fragrance redolent of a vaguely clove-touched deep, dark vanilla balsam that has been lightly sweetened with almond and rum.

 

 

 

Snow Moon and the Single Notes are available on our limited edition page.

 

 

 

And this month, we are thrilled to announce some additions to our RPG line.

 

++ CLASSES

BARD

A ridiculously charismatic blend of bay rum, honey, and white musk mingling with the scent of harp wood and lute strings and the twang of horn brass.

 

DRUID

A woolen robe infused with the scent of a vast, primordial forest: ancient trees, fertile soil, wild herbs, spring grasses, and burgundy pitch incense.

 

++ ADVENTURING GEAR

A growing selection of adventuring gear, character-specific items, and dungeoneering accessories to further personalize your character!

 

DWARVEN ALE

Brewed with fermented mushrooms, honey, and apple rootstock.

 

THIEVES’ ROSIN

Increases the chance of successfully picking pockets by 25%.

 

VIAL OF HOLY WATER

The gleaming, indescribably clean scent of purified, ritually consecrated holy water.

 

 

 

Also at Trading Post, there are three new RPG Atmosphere Sprays.

 

THE TRACKLESS ERG

The merciless sun pounds on a sea of endless, wind-battered sand: desolate, lifeless, silent, and without end.

 

LICH’S LABORATORY

Hissing vials of acid, swirls of thick incense, creeping mosses, flecks of grave loam, and noxious potions clutter the blackened stone biers of an abandoned burial vault.

 

WERERAT-INFESTED SEWER

Moist, moss-crusted stone, stagnant, silty wastewater, wererat musk, and wet leather.
