We did not intend to release a bonkers August mini-release, but… look what happened anyway! Recapping below:
ThePLEASE SCREAM INSIDE YOUR SNAKE OIL perfume blend is our new happy place, by way of our old happy place.
✨ From Twilight Alchemy Lab, an oil crafted to help ease that darkest of impulses: DOOMSCROLL BLOCKER.
Two new perfumes inspired by Neil Gaiman quotes, featuring David Mack's SANDMANart:THE THINGS WE DO MAKE ECHOES, and WHAT YOU WANT AND BEING HAPPY ARE TWO QUITE DIFFERENT THINGS.
A new collection of scents entitled WHO CAN FIGHT AGAINST DESPAIR, inspired by the haunting times between night and day.
FRUIT MOON is this month’s Lunacy, featuring a bananalicious label design by Dan Santat that’s also available as a tee.
Speaking of tees! We’ve also got a new PLAGUE DOCTOR design, a BPAL logo tee, and a version of thePLEASE SCREAM design by Drew Rausch. You can now also buy stickers of the same design!

Our first Lunacy release of the ‘20s is off and running, with some brand new features!
++ A LITTLE LUNACY
WOLF MOON (and accompanying TEE)
This incarnation of Wolf Moon honors the She-Wolf who nursed and sheltered Romulus and Remus in her den, the Lupercal, after they were cast out into the wild by King Amulius.
“A mother’s unconditional love, soul-deep compassion, and destiny: date plum, myrrh, black mulberry, black poplar, black fig, cypress, cassia, and Pan’s sacred pines.”
++ MÉNAGE À TROIS
Three-note scents born from our perfumer’s freeform daydreaming. These perfumes are ideal for layering, or can be worn alone. Duets will be appearing and disappearing here and there with the Lunacies throughout 2020.
FRESH CUT GRASS, LEMON PEEL, AND BERGAMOT
RED PATCHOULI, CHERRY WOOD, AND TOBACCO ABSOLUTE
VANILLA, TUBEROSE, AND JASMINE
++ TWILIGHT ALCHEMY LAB
An oil of fresh starts, but not a new beginning that ignores the past. This is a catalyst for new beginnings that spring from learning from experiences, processing the past, and being able to move forward with a clear head and your eyes open. Passion flower has been added to make the process gentler, and lemon peel and acacia gum to make the process swifter.
Includes: lemon peel, passion flower herb, birch bark, acacia gum, frankincense, bay leaf, calendula, chicory root, grains of paradise, and lemon balm.
++ A SUNBURNT COUNTRY
These scents are a fundraiser for Country Fire Authority Victoria in the hopes that we can help ameliorate the suffering caused by Australia’s bushfire crisis.
“Her far horizons, her jewel-sea: a rose-tinted sunset of amber salt spray azure musk.”
“Wild grass, mosses, lemon myrtle, cinnamon myrtle, and bush nut.”
“Dusty vanilla bean and Moreton Bay Fig.”
++ ZODIAC SCENT LOCKETS
++ ZODIAC SOCKS
And at long last….
++ ONEIROS: A HYMN TO MORPHEUS
We’re deeply honored to present scents sprung from the beautiful, poignant prose of Neil Gaiman.
Inspired by Neil Gaiman’s words and David Mack’s art, and created in conjunction with Neverwear. [https://neverwear.myshopify.com/]
Amorphous streams and sparks of lavender fancies drifting through a moonlit musk, given form on this plane by fossilized amber and sweet agarwood.
YOU GET WHAT ANYBODY GETS – YOU GET A LIFETIME
An unimaginably ancient scent, older than time. The gentle, fluttering embrace of oblivion: myrrh and blackened champaca blossom, attar of oudh, black amber, Casmir wood, and dried fig.
Words by Neil Gaiman [https://www.neilgaiman.com/ ] , art by David Mack [ http://davidmackarts.com/]!
