The Goblins are pleased to present the BPTP Halloween update that is now live! First, the seasonal items:
+ BPTP HALLOWEEN SPRAYS
AUTUMN GROVE
Black oak bark and fallen acorns on a bed of dry leaves.
HALLOWEEN: NEW ORLEANS
The distinctive scent of the Mississippi at night mingling with sweet olive and Spanish moss.
NUT CRACK NIGHT
Burning the nuts is a favourite charm. They name the lad and lass to each particular nut, as they lay them in the fire; and accordingly as they burn quietly together, or start from beside one another, the course and issue of the courtship will be. Robert Burns
The scent of roasted hazelnuts, oak nuts, and chestnuts.
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.
+ BPTP HALLOWEEN SOAPS
JACK
The scent of warm, glowing jack o'lanterns on a warm autumn night:
true Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove.
RIMMON
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. the Song of Solomon, 4:3

Basque hard apple cider. A tribute to my ancestors.
+ BPTP HALLOWEEN BATH OILS
PUMPKIN PIE
Devilishly decadent and a little bit ridiculous!

--
+ TRICK OR TREAT
What'll it be this year, kids?
Will you be gorging yourself on candy or sitting by the fireside telling ghostly tales?
Let the Alchemy Lab Imps and Trading Post Goblins decide!
Limited Edition Halloween combo pack!
The Inquisition has returned!
Whats in store for you this Halloween? Let the Alchemy Lab Imps and Trading Post Goblins decide! THIS is the TRICK OR TREAT INQUISITION!
For $60US, you will receive a themed bath oil concocted by Black Phoenix Trading Post, a soap created in cahoots with Villainess, and a Trick or a Treat oil from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. You have a
choice: let the Black Phoenix mascots determine your fate, or persuade the goblins and imps into tricking or treating you.
How do you influence the imps and goblins? You may plead your case in the comments field of your order. If you choose to leave it blank, the denizens of Black Phoenix will utilize the ancient art of sniffomancy in order to determine your fate. Time permitting, all entries will be published on the Black Phoenix Trading Post web site as they come in, unless you request otherwise. Please indicate whether you wish to remain anonymous, and if you would like your name published, how you wish for it to appear.
This years Treats are all spooky-themed treats, and this years Tricks were inspired by the Scottish tradition of guising, and are named after unfriendly creatures from Scottish folklore.
IF YOU ARE A TREAT
... you will receive a bottle of Treatsy bath oil, a bar of Plastic Jack OLantern soap, and one of these Black Phoenix Treat perfume oils, chosen at random:
Ginger Skulls Zingy crystallized ginger candies with quince and Asian pear.
OR
Licorice Bats Black licorice with cacao nibs and anise.
OR
Marshmallow Pumpkin Marshmallow goo and pumpkin pulp! And yes this, too, is vegan!
TREATSY BATH OIL

PLASTIC JACK OLANTERN SOAP

IF THE GOBLINS SAY TRICK EM
... you will receive a bottle of Tricksy bath oil, a bar of an t-Samhuinn soap, and one of these Black Phoenix Trick perfume oils, chosen at random:

AN T-SAMHUINN SOAP

If you purchase an Inquisition pack, you will receive a small spritzer bottle of White Pumpkin Extrait and a Wad of Chewed Up Strawberry Bubblegum (an impful!). White Pumpkin and Wad are not available separately.
You may place an order for multiple sets, or place multiple orders, and in either case, each will be considered separately in the course of the Inquisition process. If you are placing an order for more than one set, you may submit multiple Trick or Treat pleas, applicable to each order. Once your Trick or Treat status is determined, we will send you an Inquision pack that contains a perfume, a bath oil, and a soap from the category (Trick or Treat) that you were assigned to, plus Wad of Chewed Up Strawberry Bubblegum, the White Pumpkin Extrait spray, and a few little FunThings as determined by the Imps, Goblins, and Mister Tedwin. One perfume, one soap, and one bath oil will manifest per order. As a break from tradition, we will be offering some of the Trick and Treat products separately.
You have until October 10th, 2010, at which point the Imps and Goblins will retire to their conference room and cease to accept orders.
Orders are in NO WAY guaranteed to arrive before Halloween, but the Trading Post worker bees will do their best.
The artwork for this Trick or Treat series was created by the incomparable Julie Dillon, the Inquisition labels were designed by the amazing Kira Butler, and the soaps were handcrafted by (the truly badass) Master Soaper Brooke Stant of Villainess fame!
Wait, whats this? Oh,
something else…
