Our friends DisasterinaandAve Rose are ruling over a midnight movie underworld in their new Amazon Prime series SADO PSYCHIATRIST, and we’re always so excited to see what happens next!
The show is exactly what it sounds like! The evil genius of Dr. Sado (played by Disasterina) cannot be constrained to morality or professional protocols, and anyone who crosses her path risks becoming part of her experimentation in the fields of pain, fear, and humiliation!
While we’ve already created a signature scent for Disasterina, the sensory overload of the show has got us wondering what other scents Dr. Sado might keep in her boudoir… and having looked back through these various perfumes and sprays, can we just say WOW, we must be real sickos ourselves. Can anyone recommend a doctor?
It’s not just the diagnosis, it’s also the cure!
“Smoky rum and black tobacco with a whisper of steamy leather with a splash of crystalline chardonnay, layered over a sensual, sweet, and deceptively magnetic base of tonka.“
Know your history! We stand on the shoulders of giantesses.
“A Patron Goddess of all Dominatrixes, Wanda is the breathtakingly beautiful sable-wrapped marble queen of Sacher-Masoch’s fantasies. Her scent is a deep red merlot with a faint hint of leather, sexual musk and body heat over crushed roses, violets and myrtle.”
BRIGHT RED DILDO Perfume&Hair Gloss
This one’s for external use only.
“Red leather and honey.“
She knows what she wants, and she gets it!
“White amber, vanilla musk, white tea, ambergris, gardenia, and chrome.“
IMPLACABLE BEAUTIFUL TYRANT Hair Gloss
Is it possible to say more with just two adjectives and a noun?
“Golden amber, frankincense, white ginger, and oudh.“
AMBER AND STEEL HOOKS Hair Gloss
Perfect for the mistress who likes to keep ‘em in suspense. (Get it??)
“With a touch of oak bark and bourbon vanilla.“
LICH’S LABORATORY Home & Linen Spray
Those of us who live the Lab life know the impossibility of keeping work and pleasure completely separate. This spray sets the stage for experimentation of all kinds, no matter where you are!
“Hissing vials of acid, swirls of thick incense, creeping mosses, flecks of grave loam, and noxious potions clutter the blackened stone biers of an abandoned burial vault.“
Naturally, we had to include the brackish blend we created in collaboration with Disasterina — Dr. Sado herself! Apply strategically to the areas near your tidepools, and enjoy the view as your subjects go literally mad with desire.
“Slithering tentacles of kelp and seaweed absolute, draped over a shard of salt-crusted driftwood.“
In less than 45 minutes, we’ll be flinging open our doors to weary travelers and olfactory thrill-seekers and would-be Valentines alike! For those of you who can’t visit in person, here’s a recap of the Lunacy-specific perfumes and more that just arrived on the site.
++ A LITTLE LUNACY
Many years ago, Ted and I woke up to the sound of footsteps. It was incredibly disconcerting: the tread was heavy and even, and it sounded just like a full-grown man was walking on our roof. Ted grabbed our officially-licensed Shawn of the Dead cricket bat and I grabbed a flashlight, and we tried to figure out if someone was breaking into our house. We couldn’t find anything, so we went to check the attic. I’ll tell you… opening up your pitch black attic in the middle of a pitch black night armed with only a cricket bat and a Maglite is some serious horror movie shit. Few things test your mettle like realizing you’re absolutely /not/ the Final Girl in a slasher film because you’re creeping in an attic at midnight while investigating strange sounds. Anyway, the thuds and thumps kept happening, and eventually we figured out that raccoons were humping on our roof.
Every year since, raccoons have consistently found the atmosphere on our roof conducive to romance.
Now, I’ve been trying and trying to write something profound and poetic to describe this scent, but this really is a perfume about raccoons schtupping. For the bulk of the US, February is the harbinger of Raccoon Sexytime, and for the next month my whole family will get woken up by the thumps and squeals of frantically lusty raccoons using our roof as a No Tell Motel.
Bring out the amorous trash panda in you: a winter’s backdrop of slush, snow-covered evergreens, juniper, and winter gardenia with sweet brown musk, rooty patchouli, spicy birch, hay absolute, osmanthus, and a pile of uprooted pansies.
The accompanying Lunacy Tee (featuring illustration by Dan Santat) can be found here!
++ LUNAR NEW YEAR
A new year’s blessing! Peony, China’s national flower, with bamboo for flexibility, plum blossom for perseverance, courage, and hope, tangerine for wealth, lychee for strong family relationships and peace in the home, orange for happiness, pine resin for constancy, golden kumquat and quince for prosperity, narcissus and King mandarin for good fortune, coconut for longevity, and candied melon for good health, with a splash of blazing red of dragon’s blood… to help you scare away the rampaging Nian.
++ MÉNAGE À TROIS
Harmonious three-note perfume blends!
MAHOGANY, WOOD MOSS, AND SMOKE
RED PATCHOULI, NUTMEG, AND OUD
SPICED RUM, VETIVER, AND CINNAMON BARK
++ TWILIGHT ALCHEMY LAB
This is a warm, sweet, and sensual oil that radiates a soft, rose-tinted charismatic glow. It is a poem in a bottle, a tender ballad, a girdle of gentle glamour; this is an oil of epic romance, of nobility, compassion, and valor – of love that inspires story and song.
Includes: rose absolute, organic rose petals, jasmine absolute, bourbon vanilla, powdered vanilla bean, lemon balm, honey absolute, benzoin resinoid, butter C02 extract, helichrysum, and strawberry natural fruit compound. Please note that this oil is not vegan.
++ SCENT LOCKETS
The Zodiac lockets have returned! Exquisite, elegant, and exclusive to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.
These are heavy lockets, thick with silver, and are perfect for use as a perfume oil conduit. Dab your favorite Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab concoction onto muslin, velvet or cotton, and place the swatch inside the locket. Your body will warm the silver, and the locket will exude pure, unadulterated scent.
The Zodiac lockets are hand cast 925 sterling silver that has been partially gold washed using a method popularized in the 19th century, and each is adorned with at least one stone corresponding to the sign the locket represents. Each locket’s bale sports one of the BPAL logos: the alchemical symbol for brimstone. Portions of the face of the lockets have been deliberately tarnished. They measure approximately 1.25″ in diameter. These lockets are heavy.
They are not fragile, filigreed pieces; they are durable, extremely weighty with silver, and are suitable for your most adventurous airship excursions.
These lockets are exclusive to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and were created by and for Black Phoenix. They cannot be found anywhere else in all of Heaven and Earth.
Each piece is hand cast.
Our lockets come with a 24″ nickel-plated iron chain.
The Zodiac lockets were designed by Alicia DabneyofElements and Artifacts.
The scent of autumn, the taste of blood, the crunch of leaves underfoot: all these and more await inour 2019 Halloween perfume collection!
The following BPAL offerings have had a good run, but as any goth will remind you: nothing lasts forever! Consider this your LAST CALL, everything linked here will vanish this Thursday, June 6th.
LUPERCALIA 2019 - We couldn’t be any prouder of these blends celebrating everything licentious, lascivious, and libidinous. Take one more scroll down memory lane, you may find yourself shocked by something you missed on the first pass.
HEXENNACHT - Our tribute to annual Night of the Witches revelries: “German fir and forest herbs, incense and bonfire smoke, broom straw, and the wet, glimmering scent of skin warmed by dance.”
LILITH’S WINTER TRAVELOGUE - A rare second set of Lilith perfumes, inspired by a wealth of wintry European vacation memories, both cheerful and somber, like this one: “Lilith surrounded by the ghosts of six million Parisians: damp black moss, grey sandalwood chips of bone, and winding sheets of balsam, ambergris, nagarmotha, and frankincense.”
VERNAL EQUINOX FULL MOON - The Solstice is almost upon us, which means it’s definitely time to relax our grip on springtime fancies and make way for new attractions. With a backup bottle, you can always return to that special time of year! Our blend: “Fossilized amber resin releasing a cascade of crocus and daffodil petals, glory-of-the-snow, graceful iris, radiant life everlasting, and a rainbow burst of tulip.”
DUETS - Our new collection of two-note perfumes will resurface occasionally with Lunacy releases, and then recede just as quickly. This is your last chance for these four blends:
