Alrighty please bear with me, as there are LOTS of new things to share with you! Below is the list of everything new that we're bringing to Dragon Con. To further clarify, the Dragons and Peaches will be available ONLINE and IN PERSON during the days of the event itself. I know the specifics of that window will matter to some folks, down to the very minute -- I'll have that info clarified ASAP. For now just plan on Aug 30 thru Sep 2. All the new RPG things will be added to the General Catalog at some point in the near-ish future, but for now will only be available to sample and purchase IN PERSON at the event. Likewise, the Halloween 2024 preview items will only be available to sample and purchase IN PERSON at the event -- they'll be going online when the whole shebang is released in September. That's soon! We'll also have Lunacy items on hand from June, July, and August. You're welcome to hit me up with any questions in the meantime -- I may not know the answers, but I sure love the attention! Alrighty, here's the master list: ++ HERE BE DRAGONS 2024 Perfume Oils ($32 apiece) BEARDED DRAGON Taking things a bit literally. Dragon's blood resin, ambrette seed, brown musk, coffee bean, caramelized vanilla husk, and cardamom. BEATIFIC DRAGON A sainted sliver of dragon's breath: dragon's blood resin, vanilla silk, angelica seed, mimosa, orris root, pink grapefruit, and angelic amber musk.

FILTHY PEACH PULP Boo, you whore.

DROW Iridescent black opium poppy, indigo labdanum, ti leaf, and black plum with a shock of white musk and a crack of leather. TIEFLING Infernal red musk, sweet aged patchouli root, clove bud, saffron crocus, red champaca blossom, tobacco flower, and hemp. ++ SJW RPG Perfume Oils ($25 apiece) GNOME PASTRY CHEF Subterranean fruit compote squirting forth from a cardamom creampuff. MINOTAUR LANDSCAPER Shrubby and fresh: musky amber and copaiba balsam with neatly-mowed grass, well-trimmed hornbeam, upturned soil, and breezy spring blossoms. ORC MASSAGE THERAPIST A soothing, contemplative blend of fresh aster leaves, green tea, zucchini flower, and sandalwood incense. RAKSHASA PARTY MAGICIAN Shaggy spiced russet amber splattered by rice pudding, cocoa powder, and globs of cotton candy. ++ RPG Hair Gloss ($30 apiece) CELESTIAL AURA Divinity embodied: radiant golden amber, purifying chamomile, honeyed tea leaf, yellow bergamot, diaphanous vanilla, and white sandalwood. ELVEN GLAM Otherworldly luminescent blossoms shimmering in a mist-veiled forest glen. LICH, I’M FABULOUS Crypt chic for captivating cadavers: gleaming bone-white sandalwood encrusted with tomb moss, black champaca, and incense smoke. WEREWOLF FUR GLOSS Dazzlingly feral: deep, shadowy old growth bark and mosses and a drop of carnal pomace brandy. ++ HALLOWEEN 2024 MAIN CATEGORY Perfume Oil They thought of All Hallows' Night and the billion ghosts awandering the lonely lanes in cold winds and strange smokes. - Ray Bradbury BOURBON-SOAKED PUMPKIN PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE Gooey. BONFIRE TOFFEE Our spin on a traditional Guy Fawkes Night treat: treacle toffee soaked in rich, dark bourbon. PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING Literally everything! Pumpkin spice it all with this traditional brew of cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove. PUMPKIN LATTE Espresso, pumpkin syrup, smoky vanilla bean, milk, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. SAMHAIN Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein. SUGAR SKULL Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits. VINTAGE PUMPKIN BLOW MOLD A grinning, glowing gourd gleaming with 40 watts of radiant white musk, sweet orange, crystalline amber, and pumpkin rind. ++ WILD HEARSES Atmosphere Spray ($33 apiece) Infuse any vehicle or environment with the otherworldly swag of a rollin’ bone-mobile! WILD HEARSES is a series of 4oz Atmosphere & Linen Sprays which dare to ask important questions about life, death, and the liminal states in between. For example: have you heard the one about the overeager hearse driver? He got fired for parking on the shoulder. BPAL’s Atmosphere & Linen sprays are alcohol based, packaged in a 4oz pump mist bottle. Do not spray anywhere near heating elements or an open flame. Do not consume internally or spray directly on sensitive body parts. Please exercise common sense when spraying your hearse spray, lest the hearse come ‘round for you next! CONVERTIBLE HEARSE The cadaver, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind: a chilly whoosh of dead leaves seasoned with the perfect amount of smog. HOT PINK HEARSE Flashy pink guava, strawberry jam, sugared pink grapefruit, blackberry, bergamot, and pink champagne adorned with a gleaming chrome Landau bar. HEADLESS HEARSEMAN A bottomless swirl of black leather, dead branches, and flaming pumpkin guts. HEARSE OF PANCAKES There’s still a little time to kill before the viewing… surely it wouldn’t hurt to stop for a short stack? Black coffee, syrup-drenched buckwheat cakes, and a crusty cruller for the road. ++ HELOISE & ABELARD’S SPOOKY SINGLE NOTES Perfume Oil ($29 apiece) With the help of our witch and clown puppet friends, this year we’re getting back to basics. Remember the endless potential you felt as a kid while perusing the extremely limited options in your drug store’s Halloween aisle? A rubber nose here, a tinsel wig and plastic devil’s trident there… you could be anything, anything! That’s the spirit we’ve conjured for this year’s bumper crop of decidedly spooky single notes. Single notes are a terrific way to hyperfocus on a particular detail, or to achieve a very specific mood or aesthetic through layering scents. Heloise and Abelard’s tastes might err toward the unconventional, but they truly want you to look and smell your best. So when anyone comments on your unusual scent, just be sure to tell ‘em how your personal style has been influenced by the haunted puppets who occasionally take over your favorite gothic perfume laboratory. They may not understand, but they’ll definitely never forget you! BLACK LIPSTICK A goth awakening: waxy drugstore lipstick and clove cig residue. GRAVEYARD DIRT This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss. DATURA BLOSSOM Corpse white and bruise-purple, sacred datura is native to my west coast homeland. A seductive, heady, hypnotic bloom, as poisonous as it is beautiful. CLOWN WHITE Greasy petrolatum, lanolin, and titanium dioxide accords smeared with vanilla cream. Please note: this product contains no clowns or clown-derived materia. BLOOD SQUIB A sanguinous firecracker of cherry simple syrup and dragon’s blood resin. BONFIRE The perfume of withering leaves, their brittle forms surrendering to the flame, releasing a sigh of bitter smoke that is flickering with the ghosts of summer's memory. CANDIED APPLE Sour green apples encased in a sticky shell of iconic glossy red caramelized sugar syrup. INSULATION BOARD TOMBSTONE A fragrant melange of foam insulation board, PVC pipes, jigsaw grease, stone-textured spray paint, and polyurethane sealant. ++ HALLOWEEN 2024 Atmosphere Spray ($33 apiece) PUMPKIN NUT BREAD Pumpkin-puree baked into a walnut-studded loaf, steaming with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.

I feel like ANYTHING in the Dr. Caligari series is likely a great match for this. Also, the standalone Embalming Fluid scent from the General Catalog. Also the Lightning Strikes series, particularly Lighting Strikes the Future: "The ultimate lab experiment: streaks of feral red musk twining in a double-helix around a pulsing, electrified core of fossilized amber, erupting from a glimmering pool of reactor coolant."

We've created a perfume oil to contribute to Richard Metzger's new crowdfunding campaign for "Magick Show: A Masterclass in Modern Occultism," which has just launched! The scent: MAGICK SHOW A spark of electrical discharge burns through a thick, heady cloud of ceremonial incense: frankincense resin, myrrh smoke, champa absolute, hyssop tar, mandrake root, red labdanum, balsam, onycha, gum arabic, and black styrax. It's available at the $125 tier, which gets you the following: Magick Show episodes + limited edition oil by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab + bonus interview footage + soundtrack + an invitation to a live online watch party with the director, producers, and on-camera occultists. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/richardmetzger/magick-show-a-masterclass-in-modern-occultism

Today at 3pm Eastern, Blood Milk will be launching a new scent online in addition to a truly stonkering array of one-of-a-kind jewels: BAT MOTH A fuzzy black scent flittering in bittersweet shadows: 11-year aged patchouli, dried blackcurrant, woolly tonka bean, tobacco absolute, toasted vetiver, and a sprinkling of sugar crystals.

Well we sure did something! With today's launch of six more THE LAST UNICORN scents, our entire series has been re-released. And I'm not too proud to say: we sure could use some help spreading the word about it! We've got a lovely little post on FB and IG that is achingly shareable, and we've also got a lovely lil TLU meme roundup about to drop over the weekend. Be part of our Unicorn street team? Since cats are having a moment, we've also dropped five more kittehs into our FELIS SILVESTRIS CATUS series, just for fun. These too could use some love, if you have the means to circulate them among pet lovers. UNIKITTY STREET TEAM! ? There's also a huge list of stuff coming down which I'll leave here in addition to posting separately. In fact, just gonna cut and paste from the email I just sent out: On September 4th, when we're removing the soon-to-be-announced Dragon Con 2024 products from our site, we're also gonna take down the following: LUPERCALIA 2024 SHUNGA 2024 KOTINOS HEXENNACHT SWARMAGEDDON PINK MOON Lunacy & friends: PINK MOON: Sugar Crystals & Mandarin PINK MOON: Wild Strawberries & Patchouli PINK MOON: Ylang Ylang & White Musk PINK MOON: Pomegranate & Merlot MARSHMALLOW & CANDYFLOSS Hair Gloss April art scents: DIE WUNDERBLUME THE TRUTH LIES IN OLD BOOKS THE NAIADS' HOUR L'AURORE LOVERS AMONG LILACS FLOWER MOON Lunacy & friends: RED POPPY POD & BLUE LILAC ENGLISH IVY LEAVES & MILKY HEMLOCK SAP PATCHOULI & WORMWOOD BLACKBERRY & LIME RIND BELLADONNA BERRIES & SUGARED BLACK TEA Hair Gloss May art scents: THE BATH OF VENUS LA NUIT CONCERT NYMPH AND SATYR NYMPH IN A GOLDFISH POND We have to make room for Halloween!

Honored, esteemed even, to inform you that the DEER MOON Lunacy has Lunacy-ed, bringing along some special new GC HG friends, a coconut-pilled fundraiser scent, and... an aged 2014 Snake Oil drop. [scream emoji] All rounded up thusly here: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/july-2024/

Howdy, BPAL fam! If you have any weekend shopping to do, we enthusiastically encourage you to visit Dark Delicacies, whether online or at their retail storefront in Burbank. Del's recovering from a serious medical emergency at the moment, and we know the business support would help ease his worry about the current state of things. Movies, books, collectibles, clothing, they have a little something for everyone! Our love for Dark Delicacies runs deep, and their history is entwined with our own -- our sincere thanks in advance to anyone who ends up shopping with them in the coming days. [Picture by Jason Thompson from a 2017 Lunacy event.]

There will be a gorgeous Blood Milk jewelry and perfume launch tomorrow the 12th at 3PM EST! https://www.bloodmilkjewels.com/ You can preview all the items on their Instagram. The two new scents: LETHE Il n'a su réchauffer ce cadavre hébété Où coule au lieu de sang l'eau verte du Léthé Sister to Strife and dark reflection of Mnemosyne, she is the personification of forgetfulness and withdrawal from the cares of the living. The cool, green waters of oblivion whose murmuring waves lull the dead to sleep: chthonic river foam, bog cypress, lavender resin, black labdanum, and asphodel. PYTHIA The Pythoness, face veiled in purple, singing honey-voiced ecstatic songs of future fancies: cavernous stone stained by myrrh smoke, serpent scales, black plum, poppy tar, bay leaf, and olibanum. Restocks: OWL MOON SHEDDING TIME SPHINX SKIN SILKY BAT

Until now, this particular American Gods perfume oil has only been available at events — never online. Contemplating the latest threats to our democracy as we head into July 4, 2024, we’ve decided her time has finally come: LADY LIBERTY Blood, rust, and hope, dim with the patina of pain and struggle: cast iron, copper, gold, and steel with a cluster of French perfume and American wildflowers, a fleck of dried blood, and a sliver of saddle leather. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/neil-gaiman/american-gods/iii/lady-liberty-perfume-oil/ Just like all of our licensed Neil Gaiman products, this 5ml perfume oil raises funds for the National Coalition Against Censorship, and the artwork is by Julie Dillon.

It's Strawberry Moon season, and this month's Lunacy launch is resplendent with summertime treats. The whole shebang can be browsed here: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/june-2024/ In addition to the usual Lunacy perfumes, Duets, Hair Gloss, sticker, and Ars Anni offerings, we've added: 2 more GC Hair Gloss options: FLEURS D'ORANGER and MIEL ET AMBER A new Pride month Activism scent benefiting Lambda Legal: OBERGEFELL V. HODGES 2 new Limited Edition perfume oils: JUNE GLOOM and THE SERPENT IN THE BERRIES Here's your reminder that within a week or so, we're gonna chop Yule 2023, NYE, SNOW MOON Lunacy and all its helpmeets, and FREDERIC. Have a wonderful weekend!

Coming soon... this one will be riding the wave of the upcoming Strawberry Moon Lunacy! Today marks the 9th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges — the landmark Supreme Court case that brought “equal dignity in the eye of the law” to same-sex marriages. We’ve crafted a special fundraiser scent to mark the occasion. This 5ml perfume oil is a tribute to love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family: sun-warmed purple fig, wildflower honey, almond cream, jasmine absolute, mimosa, and bourbon vanilla. The proceeds from OvH benefit Lambda Legal, whose team of pro-bono lawyers fight for LGBTQIA+ civil rights cases including issues of marriage equality, healthcare and employment discrimination, and gender identity.

I love the more woody or incense-y Snake Oil variants but there are still like a million ways in which this might not work for me. In the bottle I wasn't entirely convinced -- I could detect the familiar Snake Oil scent kind of straining to break through or sneak past the heavier intrusion of these wood notes, which to my nose smell like actual boards, or some kind of varnished surface. Not bad but I was hoping for more harmony between the old and new aspects of the blend. On the skin, however, it immediately became clear that I'm dealing with a boosted patchouli presence, and THAT got my attention. Possibly sandalwood also, or cedar, or incense components I can't trace. There's a dry raspiness to it, which really does harmonize very beautifully with the classic blend's gleaming oily-slippery-muskiness. It also smells darker and rootier to me than regular Snake Oil. It's quite different than the impression I got in the bottle. That dry sharpness definitely sells the idea of tiny wooden bottles and cardboard packaging. I'm trying to recall the most patch-forward Snake Oil variants, because possibly this is the one? Before long it stabilizes and settles into this modestly restrained mellow, rooty crackle accompanied by a faint gasp of vanilla, which did remind me a bit of sarsaparilla from time to time -- but then when I leaned in for a deeper sniff, that sweetness gave way to darker, woodier aspects. It has a pleasantly old-fashioned vibe for sure; if they made it as a Beard Oil, I might grow a beard! I found that I could still smell it after several hours.

I dunno who needs to hear this, but the amber in this scent has aged REALLY nicely. This feels so warm on the skin that I've been tempted to guess cinnamon is involved somewhere. And in fact it reminds me a bit of Elizabeth's Imps from last Halloween, although this one is less sticky-syrupy dark amber, more glowy and transcendent. The mental mood board for this scent involved snapshots of Vivian Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire or Elizabeth Taylor in Suddenly Last Summer. -- women shattered by tragic circumstance, clinging to mementos and recollections of more glamorous days, deserving of kindness but ultimately confined to institutions and subjected to primitive treatments. There's a poof of smoky frankincense at the beginning which mostly subsides, giving way to a sheer white amber that's lent some sparkle by the mandarin and some gentility by the orchid. The amber/bergamot/orchid situation is impressively gauzy and serene, flirtatious even, but a faint edginess persists -- like finding cigarette burns on a lovely white summer dress.

Hello! Sorry this was not specified before when we announced the down date for the Yules and NYE scents, but our fundraiser series Nourishment Wherever Needed, which launched alongside the Yules back in November, will be staying up indefinitely. I expect these scents will move over to the Activism category where most of our other fundraisers live. So, there's still time to serve yourself some pie! While helping WCK feed displaced, injured, and/or impoverished people in Gaza and other locations (such as Ukraine) where civilians are unable to access basic necessities.

Hoping to drastically alter the course of at least one person’s weekend with this news: the freshly restored 1989 cult classic Dr. Caligari is now streaming on the horror streaming platform SHUDDER! Since the film was virtually inaccessible in any quality before last year's Blu-ray release, this is big news. Much easier for practically anyone to check out! BPAL's licensed perfumes and enamel pins live here.

Note that we're also introducing a couple of brand new GC Hair Gloss blends: BELGIAN CHOCOLATE, and BOURBON VANILLA! For ease of searching, these are included under the May 2024 tag along with all the Lunacy stuff we just launched: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/may-2024-lunacy/ And as promised, the Pride 2024 fundraiser scents: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-category/kotinos/

We're in the process of finalizing our Flower Moon Lunacy launch! Once it's live, you've got one last week to order the following scents before they vanish: WOLF MOON Duet: GRASS & MOONLIT DEW Duet: BEESWAX & PINE NEEDLE Duet: BALSAM & LEATHER Duet: GREEN FIG & CEDAR Hair Gloss: LUPINE MUSK & AMBRETTE SEED WOODEN DRAGON A WINTER SCENE WITH SKATERS PORTRAIT OF PRINCESS MARTHE BIBESCO TRAUM NORTHERN LIGHTS MONASTERY GARDEN IN THE SNOW We also now have an official down date for Yules and the New Year's releases: June 28th!

If you can find A Summer Night -- a Lunacy scent from 2022 -- this might be exactly right.

Hi frens! I'm here to tease the Lab's Pride Month fundraiser because I just can't hold it in anymore. This year we'll be donating to Athlete Ally, a wonderful org striving to help improve LGBTQI+ inclusivity in sports and athletics programs for all ages. They provide resources and curricula for students, teachers, coaches, and teams. https://www.athleteally.org/ To symbolize this effort, we've created a series of four scents inspired by the classic olive wreath (kotinos, or κότινος) bestowed upon winners in the ancient Olympic games. These will go live at some point ahead of June 1st. We'll be very grateful for help with getting the word out, as (per usual) our reach can be quite limited on social media when sharing "political" content. Thank ya, thank ya! ++ KOTINOS OLIVE WREATH The prize historically awarded to victors in the ancient Olympic games: an anointed circlet of leafy branches cut from the sacred wild-olive tree near the temple of Zeus. LAUREL WREATH Crown of Apollo, instrument of Pythian divination, symbol of higher learning: bay laurel and calamus gilded with fossilized amber. MARBLE WREATH Fear not, for even judgments which seem written in stone will succumb to the passage of time, softened by persistent exposure to the tireless elements, gradually ceding ground to monuments of the new age. A memorial garland of white sandalwood streaked with lapsang souchong, chilled vanilla, and benzoin. CAKE POP WREATH Hera advised us to include this one, in hopes of our fundraiser appealing to as many tastes as possible. Work hard, play hard, cake pop! Spheres of faintly lemony olive oil cake, coated in vanilla frosting and crowned with a scattering of rainbow sprinkles.

Happy to inform you that Spiritus Arcanum launched this year's Walpurgisnacht collaboration on Friday, and everything (including some terrific products from other creators) is now available to pre-order in their shop. Below are the Limited Edition perfume oils we've contributed: ++ APIARY Each of these scents, inspired by the bee and the bounty of the hive, is offered in 5ml bottles. TELLING THE BEES "Inspired by the John Greenleaf Whittier poem. A red and white scattering of clover, pansy petals and crushed daffodils, a clutch of wild roses, and buzzing hives draped with velvety black musk." WAXEN IMAGE "Inspired by beeswax poppets, votary effigies, and wax cast funerary masks. Beeswax, ashes, and blood." MELISSAE "A fragrance inspired by the buzzing prophesies of nymphs, the devotions of ancient priestesses, and the bounty of honied hives. Wildflower honey, frankincense, olive blossoms, and cinnamon." ++ BOOK OF SECRETS Inspired by books of everyday magic, prayer, talismans, and lore which often found their place in practical folk magical traditions throughout the world, the Book of Secrets collection is a collaboration with the legendary Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab intended as an olfactory homage to these books of wondrous things. SECRETS OF THE PSALMS "A compound of frankincense, galbanum, onycha accord, and Balm of Gilead. An homage to Secrets of the Psalms by Godfrey Selig." BOOK OF SECRETS OF ALBERTUS MAGNUS "Inspired by the fantastical collection of botanical, animal, and mineral lore spuriously attributed to Albertus Magnus which was widely popular throughout Europe and the Americas throughout the Middle Ages. Date palm, luminous fossilized amber resin, bay laurel, and frankincense." LONG-HIDDEN FRIEND "A perfume devoted to John George Hohman's Der lange verborgene Freund or Long Hidden (Lost) Friend, a work published in 1820 which collects a selection of spoken prayer and written charms such as the SATOR square. Hohman's work draws upon earlier works such as Egyptian Secrets of Albertus Magnus and also offers practical remedies for everyday concerns. Mulberry, pumpkin molasses, and sweet clove dashed with sonnen-werbel to ensure that people speak to you with pleasant words and a sprinkle of caraway to keep you safe from frights and fantasies." EGYPTIAN SECRETS OF ALBERTUS MAGNUS "Capturing the essence of another Pseudo-Albertine book Egyptian Secrets. A title intended to evoke exotic origins, Egyptian Secrets collects remedies for fevers and burns, alongside protective magics against witchcraft, dog bites, and thieves. Myrrh resin, green cardamom, golden saffron, and honeyed fig." THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH BOOKS OF MOSES "When these great princes do not appear immediately on the foregoing Citations, or if they hesitate in their obedience, then take frankincense and myrrh, and cast them upon burning coals, and when the smoke arises, place the spirit-seal thereon… Ink-scratched parchment suffused with the smoke of Oman frankincense and Yemeni myrrh." SATOR "A scent dedicated, not to a book, but to the ancient and enigmatic amulet known as the SATOR square. Night-black musk and scorched wood polished with ambrette, suffused with sweet flag, olibanum, vetiver, styrax, and red labdanum."

A fresh wave of General Catalog restocks! Here is everything that's returned: LOUP GAROU “The wild, untamed essence of lycanthropy. Primeval in its raw power and insatiable hunger: juniper, cypress and galangal with the barest touch of eucalyptus.” MONK “Sandalwood incense, ti leaf, and honeyed saffron.” SHOGGOTH “An amorphous, radiant, incandescent scent. Ever changing, protoplasmic and primordial: white amber, green coconut meat, iris, palmarosa, Chinese peony, lime, water lily, snowdrop, muguet, lemongrass, osmanthus, wisteria, glassy musk, and hinoki.” SPELLBOUND “Perfectly enchanting! An irresistibly sexual, utterly rapturous blend of three roses, radiant amber, and sensual red musk.” VILLAIN "A classic Victorian men’s cologne: a lavender fougere, with hints of lilac, lime, and citrus musk.” AMBER IMP PACK

Hurrah! We were set to launch these later in the week (and not back-to-back with Hexennacht) but with everyone fretting about last-minute Halloween picks, we just went ahead and dropped 'em to increase the window of time needed to make GOOD, SOUND, TOTALLY DEFENSIBLE decisions. Today's releases spanning Lunacy, Ars Anni, Activism, and LE categories can all be browsed together via this handy April 2024 product tag link: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/april-2024/ ++ APRIL ART: A MOMENT OF JOY April is a moment of joy for those who have survived the winter. - Samuel Johnson DIE WUNDERBLUME Alexander Rothaug Thick blankets of moss embracing river-smoothed stones, a cascade of shimmering amber, and heady white petals.

Art by Drew Rausch! PINK MOON STICKER A 3” x 3” high-quality die-cut vinyl sticker for sticking on all stickable things. Art by Drew Rausch! ++ LUNACY DUETS 2024’s duet scents are designed to flatter, compliment, or enhance different aspects of the Lunacy blend that they are born from.

SWARMAGEDDON The cry of the cicada Gives us no sign That presently they will die - Matsuo Bashō, translated by William George Aston This year, the forests of the eastern United States will be abuzz (pun intended) with the concurrent emergence of two separate broods, the 17-year-old Brood XIII and 13-year-old Brood XIX. A cicada extravaganza like this one hasn’t been seen since 1803! A scent fit for a Swarmageddon: soft, dark soil, black pepper, tonka bean, decaying leaves, licorice root, ambrette seed, sweet vetiver, bourbon vanilla, oakmoss, brown labdanum, elm bark, vegetable leather, clary sage, 13-year aged patchouli, 17-year aged patchouli, and two bright red specs of dragon’s blood resin.
