Sometimes a bunch of little projects come to fruition at once! Here’s a smattering of socks, scent lockets, a new perfume category called Duets, and (belatedly, thanks to DragCon) a little Lunacy.
++ A LITTLE LUNACY
The apex of the year’s fertility, the reawakening of the sexuality of the Earth and her inhabitants. This full moon celebrates both the fecundity of the creatures and flora of this world and the vibrancy, rejuvenation and life-affirming energy of Spring. Flower Moon embodies the unrestrained bliss, energy and color of the season: wisteria, frangipani, tuberose, ylang ylang, double sugar narcissus, white sage, and a mix of California wildflowers – all gleaming gold with a thick sheen of honey.

++ DUETS
Introducing Duets: simple two-note perfumes. I had been looking for ways to unwind this past winter, so I created these two-note combinations as part of my relaxation process. It felt in many ways like humming a tuneless lullaby to myself, and much like a scented meditation. The result is a small series of gently entwined scents, an olfactory pas de deux.
These perfumes are ideal for layering, or can be worn alone. Duets will be appearing and disappearing here and there with the Lunacies throughout 2019.

Created in the USA by the wonderful people at Sock Dreams, these socks are exclusive to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab!
They’re made from 80% cotton, 15% nylon and 5% elastic!
The perfect sign to emblazon on socks, because there are TWO of them, get it? Black accented with the airiest pale gray, advertising your Castor/Pollux complexities with undeniable panache. Modeled by Lab rat Galen, the product of a brilliant Gemini mother.
Next time you want to dig in your heels, make sure they’re robustly clad in in these no-nonsense hoof-covers, patterned in an earthy combo of black and forest green — perfect for propping up while everyone else learns the hard way about everything you already warned them about. Modeled by Tom, who has Taurus in the eleventh house and isn’t sure what that means.
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.
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. The Zodiac lockets were designed by Alicia DabneyofElements and Artifacts.
