What do bottles and labels look like?

[SimplySyra]

I got the new Dragon's Milk bottle, too, tallan! I think it's adorable!

 

Nathaniel, so beautiful as always! Oborot has such a cool label!

[LizziesLuck]

Love the new "Dragon's" labels!

The Gilman House Hotel

 

Oborot

 

The label art on A Blade of Grass makes me want to go find a bottle right now....

 

 

nathanielhebert - The lab should hire you for photo shoots!! Your pics are GORGEOUS!

As a newbie, I've really enjoyed looking through this thread at all the pretty pictures, so I decided to make a small contribution in the shape of the only two LE bottles I've gotten my hands on (though I lack nathanielhebert's photography skills!)

Can anyone post pictures of 2015's Thirteens. I have a few bottles and I don't know which ones they are. Thanks in advance!

November 2015

 

I didn't get any of the other ones, sorry!

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. I can guess much better with only two unconfirmed options

[Pyretta]

Are the TAL Chakra oils (and bottle art!) different from the ones listed on the BPAL Etsy right now?

Curious if anybody knows the evolution of the Dragon's Milk labels through the years? I know there was the plain black and white label (the first label), the black label with a red dragon and purple lettering on it, and a newer (I think?) with a green dragon wrapped around the name. I am mostly wondering what years these labels all spanned? I have two bottles of the second (red dragon) label, and am curious about rough age on these.....

Does anyone have pictures of the label designs for the Post's Spirit Board scents (No, Yes, Goodbye)?

Hello! Hope this is in the right place.

I'm going through my collection and cannot remember what a particular bottle contains. Primary scent I can identify is a spiced apple/apple cider. Any ideas?

[whoahorsey]

This?

Yay! Thank you!

Sorry, not one of the requests above but couldn't help taking a little photo-shoot of my two newest scents:

I love your photo!

Can anyone help me identify which year this version belongs to? Seems to be the only one that doesn't have a year on the label and I can't recall for the life of me (apologies if this is the wrong place to ask!)

Do you have a current list up to the present?    I haven't been able to buy BPAL for a long time so I didn't buy any thirteens, but someone just sent me a few and I need to identify year.  (dark blue with white numbers.)

 

 

edit:  dark blue with white numeral 13 is September 2019.

Yeah, we need to update the list. This helped me narrow down a bottle from 2014, though, so kudos for that.

 

I have another bottle that has a topless woman dancing with a skeleton behind her. The number 13 is black and in the bottom right corner.

 

ETA: Nevermind, it's the August 2010 bottle that I have.

 

In my brief research to figure out the bottle that I have, here's a few more to add to the list.

 

13 February 2015 - shattered mirror

 

13 March 2015 - blue background, large black number 13 in script font?

 

13 November 2015 - violets

 

13 May 2016 - beige background, people on fire with one person on left forking the flames, number 13 in white? or maybe it's this image?

 

13 January 2017 -

 

13 October 2017 - orange background, large black number 13 (which is what I have) or black background with large number 13 in typewriter font?

 

13 April 2018 - song birds

 

13 July 2018 - gold horseshoe with red ribbon on top, jockey on horse jumping through horseshoe, red number 13 near bottom of horseshoe, gold text with "good luck"

 

13 September 2019 - dark blue background with white number 13

 

13 December 2019 - brown 13, dancing kitties with top-hats

 

13 March 2020 - static gray background with large white number 13

Scentwise, November 2016.  Label wise, November 2009.  But I haven't sniffed all of them either.    May 2016 looks good.  September 2019 is lovely but doesn't last on my skin.  March 2020 looks interesting with all sugar but I stopped working in ... 2014?  2015?  So I haven't bought much perfume since then.

[highgarden]

I received two frottles in a previous order and they're both Lunacy perfumes. One is a Beaver Moon I and the other is a Worm Moon, but I'm not sure what the years are. I'm having issues directly uploading a picture, so please click here for a picture of the labels! Can anyone help me with identifying which scents these are?

 

Thank you for any assistance you can offer!

[Snuffleupagus]

@highgarden I think they’re 2013 and 2014, respectively!

Thank you! I think my nose can confirm that the Beaver Moon is 2013 but the Worm Moon is harder for me to pinpoint.

No problem!  If you Google “BPAL Worm Moon 2014,” the artwork shows up in Scentbase and an old BPAL Tumblr post.
