Four 5ml perfume oils to launch the series! The CATHERINE and HEATHCLIFF fragrances were formulated to be worn layered with each other, but can also be enjoyed as standalone scents.
A photo of four 5ml amber apothecary labels posed on a scrap of red fabric in front of a wooden window frame. In the background, through the window frame, potted plants are visible. The perfume labels read: UNQUIET SLUMBERS, CATHERINE, HEATHCLIFF, and LET ME IN.

We might as well obnoxiously tease this fragrance partnership while we're waiting for it to go live in our shop 🎭

#WutheringHeights
A poster image for BPAL's Wuthering Heights perfume series, featuring one of Percy Tarrant's 1924 illustrations depicting a female character being violently seized by Heathcliff, all faces omitted by the framing and text which reads: "Wuthering Heights: fragrances by black phoenix alchemy lab. An aromatic adaptation created in collaboration with The British Library." A caption on the illustration reads: "IT WAS TOO LATE: HEATHCLIFF HAD ALREADY CAUGHT HOLD OF HER"

And if you like, you may sign up to receive our emails in the future: eepurl.com/CsjP9

We've got plenty of room, now that Lisa has unsubscribed! (We turned her commentary into a Valentine too) 🥰
A screencap from our email unsubscribe reports, including one from someone named Lisa that includes the comment: "Can't take anymore of your political bullshit", but we scribbled in a comma an then added "VALENTINE <3"

If you're not signed up to receive our emails, then you missed yesterday's unhinged love letter to our perfume fanbase. We even created an anticipatory Valentine in response to it! 💌

Actually tho, you can read it here: us4.campaign-archive.com?u=50266fc02a...
It's that "silence, brand" meme with a scary crab shooting lasers out of its eyes, but we crossed out "brand" and scribbled in "Valentine", tee-hee

A few of these are part of the recent Yule series and will be added to the GoV section later on: blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-cate...
Artwork by Girth of Venus depicting a Nutcracker posing against a winter wonderland backdrop with a castle seen in negative silhouette in the far distance. Despite a wooden nutcracker-style head, the figure has an apparently human body and ballet-style military costume... which is missing a key area, right there in the front. Oh, and there is also a sword!

We created perfumes with @girthofvenus.bsky.social so we could tap into that heady, swoony Valentine's Day feeling year round. Erotes and lupercalians, take note! 💌

When we’re not yelling at people to call their reps, we also sell fragrance. 🐍

Here are fifteen lavishly scented bath oils, each more enticing than the last:

We should probably update Melania's movie poster to include this loving email she sent convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in 2002, uncovered in yesterday’s file release.
The MELANIA movie poster, a black and white photo of the First Lady sitting on a chair staring meanly out at the viewer. An email from 2002 has been superimposed on the poster that reads: Dear G! How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania."

It's that stupid Vince McMahon reaction meme, showing him having increasingly dramatic reactions to the phrases: "NO SHOPPING, NO WORK, ABOLISH ICE, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES"

Dab a bit of our GOBLIN perfume oil behind each ear, and you’ll be instantly inspired to alter street signs, shake fruit from your neighbor’s trees, and hide your roommate’s car keys. Black coconut, gnarly patchouli, and sweet benzoin.

Confirmed: in solidarity with the nationwide shutdown effort, BPAL's shop will be in maintenance mode on Friday from 9am to 5pm Eastern.

Today is only WEDNESDAY. What can you to today and tomorrow to pull others in? 🔥

BPAL will definitely be participating in the national strike on 1/30 in some capacity, TBA (we still have tech matters to iron out from last week's). We must keep up the pressure!

In the meantime, here's a poster Tom made from a vintage photograph.
A poster with ice and flame text reading: "NATIONWIDE SHUTDOWN! Friday Jan 30th 2026. No shopping, no work, no school. I.C.E. OUT EVERYWHERE" The image is a vintage (80s? 90s?) photograph of a model with flames painted on her body and flame-colored makeup on her eyes, posing artfully against a reddish background.

In solidarity with workers and people in Minnesota and all across the country who are participating in the strike, we’ll be closing our site down for maintenance on Friday, January 23rd, 9am-5pm Eastern time.

Just FYI, we don’t check our DMs very often — the surest way to reach us is to email Customer Service for direct support. Otherwise our response might be delayed, though we do try to circle back around 🙏
This is a screencap of a convo where someone named Sharon has written us in response to our post about canceling our upcoming event in Minneapolis so as not to conflict with this weekend's protests. Sharon: Haha, you post is ridiculous. That woman tried to run down an ICE agent. Get your facts right. She FAFO. BPAL (autoresponse): Greetings! Please know that the best and fastest way to reach Customer Service is via email: answers@blackphoenixalchemylab.com Messages on FB are checked less reliably, but we are doing our best! And then BPAL again, later: Thanks for writing, Sharon! We definitely wanted to hear what some random nightmare hag has to say about all this.

We’re all a little worried about JUSTIN, but his grades have improved since he started going to Rocky Horror with his new friends.

He smells of candy cane wrappers, eyeliner smudges, and an oversized black licorice hoodie.

SMITHEREENA (they/she) splurged on a button-maker so she can sell unofficial merch while waiting in line at concerts. Their scent: black leather flecked with remnants of a gloopy food court cinnamon bun.

RETCH is a loyal friend once you get past his antisocial antics. His scent: unkempt oudh and hot chocolate spiked with booze from a hidden flask.

We’re leaning into our www.transanta.com fundraising this year with a series of four fragrances inspired by the tradition of goths getting their photos taken with Santa.

@drewrausch.bsky.social has truly outdone himself with the label art 🖤
