Dear Friends, It's been nearly six years since we've revisited our shipping fees, and in the meantime postal rates have continued to climb. As much as it galls us to make pricing decisions that affect certain customers more than others, especially our faithful fans overseas, BPAL and BPTP have rolled out new rates, effective immediately, for both domestic and international orders. Below is our new shipping grid as of January, 2016. Small adjustments may still have to be made as we endeavor to include everyone. [uPDATE: AMENDED TO CORRECT DOMESTIC SHIPPING AMOUNTS] BPAL domestic shipping rates for the US: Orders totaling up to $175.00: $7.50 All domestic orders of $175 or greater ship for free. BPAL international shipping rates, by country/region: Canada: $25 UK / Western Europe: $34 Eastern Europe / South America / South Africa: $34 Oceania: $35 Japan: $32 All international orders of $300 or greater ship for free. If your country isn't listed here or it's unclear what your rate would be, please email us at: answers@blackphoenixalchemylab.com Black Phoenix Trading Post international rates: Canada Flat rate: $23 Medium flat rate: $44 Large flat rate: $57 Everywhere else: Flat rate: $32 Medium flat rate: $65 Large flat rate: $85 Metered post for larger packages: 1 lb. - $45 2 lb. - $50 3 lb. - $55 4 lb. - $58 Once again, we hope you will see the difficulty of our position and understand these rates are beyond our control.

Coming out of hiding to report that I got to sample this tonight and have been thoroughly corrupted. The cumin keeps this from plunging as deep and dark as the clove and leather might otherwise dive together (as they do when you smell straight from the bottle). Instead the whole blend swirls and hovers together in a sort of stagnant middle layer, like brackish water swirling in warm sunlight, giving off a faintly sweet steam -- that's the vanilla and cumin dancing together, right on the edge of an edible smell. As in Snake Oil, this is merely an enticement to lure the nose down into the darker, more mysterious notes. However, I found the latter dried off sooner, leaving one to luxuriate in the steam instead of fully losing one's boots in the muck -- a decidedly non-putrid experience overall, but I love those early stages when you're nervous because you're not quite sure how deep those puddles might be. Edit: No, there it is -- a lingering stink, which I think is still the cumin. Beth just described it to me as "sweaty." I love this scent!

Hi everyone, two updates this week -- a dash of luck, some good will, and new scents. Palmyra All proceeds after cost of manufacture benefit the UNHCR’s efforts to aid refugees and meet humanitarian needs. Golden amber and galbanum with frankincense, myrrh, Balm of Gilead, vanilla-infused sandalwood, sand-smoothed leather, and Ceylon cinnamon. 13 BPAL's latest tribute of today's notoriously unlucky date. Thirteen sugars, honeys, and vanillas dusted with chocolate to help you combat ill-fortune with the raw power of overwhelming sweetness. Enjoy in good health!

Pretty Indulgent has just added two new exclusive BPAL fragrances to their collection: MAT NIGHT The joy of wanton mischief: caramelized tobacco and snow muffling the scent of a distant fire. SOIRS d’AUTOMNE Voici que la tulipe et voilà que les roses, Sous les gestes massifs des bronzes et des marbres, Dans le Parc où l'Amour folàtre sous les arbres, Chantent dans les longs soirs monotones et roses. Dans les soirs a chanté la gaîté des parterres Où danse un clair de lune en des poses obliques, Et de grands souffles vont, lourds et mélancoliques,à Troubler le rêve blanc des oiseaux solitaires. Voici que la tulipe et voilà que les roses Et les lys cristallins, pourprés de crépuscule, Rayonnent tristement au soleil qui recule, Emportant la douleur des bêtes et des choses. Et mon amour meurtri, comme une chair qui saigne, Repose sa blessure et calme ses névroses. Et voici que les lys, la tulipe et les roses Pleurent les souvenirs où mon âme se baigne. - - - See how here the tulip- there the rose, By a group of bronze and marble statuaries, In the park where love frolics under trees, Sing through my nights, pink and monotonous. The flowerbeds sang at eve in joyful chords Where the moonlight’s dance is a shifting show And where, sultry and sad, their high notes go, Troubling the pure dreams of solitary birds. See how here the tulip there the rose And crystal lilies, crimson in twilight, Radiate sadly to the sun in flight That bears away from beasts and things their woes. And my ravaged love, like bleeding flesh, makes whole Its wounds and lets its madness find repose. See how the lily, tulip, and the rose Weep for the memories that wash my soul. - Emile Nelligan Ravaged love, like bleeding flesh, makes whole its wounds: lily, tulip and rose shimmering in the moonlight, brushed by a quiet autumn breeze.

Attention rampant samplers! We regret to inform you that due to web issues, BPAL will no longer offer that sweet $2 discount with the purchase of 6 imp’s ears. If/when it becomes possible again, we shall let you know right away. Thanks for your understanding!
