Before you scoff, please know that I consider the proprietor/perfumer, Elizabeth, to be an absolute GENIUS. I have nearly 200 of her blends and each is perfection. She's pretty thoroughly researched the things she gets inspiration from (Goth, steampunk, magick & pagan subcultures as well as literature, art, science, etc). These things, to her, aren't "novelty", they're her life. What I'm saying is - she "gets" it because she lives it. So withouth a doubt, these scents are going to be amazing and accurate. Check it out: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab This was Elizabeth's announcement yesterday (Which was like Christmas, my birthday and retirement all rolled into one): April first is coming, and at BPAL, that means foolishness. Last year we brought you the Dogs Playing Poker Salon Series. This year, we are thrilled to present: ++ ATOMIC LUAU LOUNGE In the spirit of Polynesian Pop and Tiki Culture, we present Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Atomic Luau Lounge: the Exotica Collection. Tiki Culture became a phenomenon in the late 50's, likely inspired by Hawaii's admission to the union in 1959 and by the memories of World War II veterans that were stationed in the South Pacifi. Tiki enthusiasts were influenced by a panoply of Polynesian themes, and they embraced pop renditions of island artwork, dress, and music, revamping them with a distinctly campy Western flair. This is our tribute to Donn Beach, a true Pisces if there ever was one. Light the torches, bust out the leis, and bust out the Martin Denny LPs! Without you, Donn, we wouldn't pu pu platters to gorge on, or Zombies to chug! TIKI QUEEN Monoi de Tahiti, vanilla, white coconut, tuberose, ylang ylang, white musk, red hibiscus, and neroli. TIKI KING Black coconut, black musk, lemon blossom, and ironwood bark. ++ ATOMIC LUAU LOUNGE: THE BAR BLUE FIRE Papaya, blueberry, lemongrass, and gin. GOLDEN WAVE Tangerine, gin, passion fruit, guava, and tonic. RANGOON RIPTIDE Pineapple, mandarin orange, raspberry, passion fruit, and rum. SCREECHING PARROT Golden rum, apricot liquor, pineapple, pomegranate, ginger, brandy, grapefruit, and pink lime. TE PO Jamaican rum, almond liquor, orange water, sugar syrup, lime peel, black cherry, vodka, and mint. UPA UPA Spiced rum, coconut, pineapple, and vanilla. ++ ATOMIC LUAU LOUNGE: FLOTSAM BOO BAM Bamboo reed, palm frond, and hibiscus. MARAE Vanilla orchid, Monoi tiare, gardenia, and light incense. MOAI Volcanic ash and Easter Island palm. MOANA Seaweed, awapuhi, and sea foam. OPUHI Ginger blossom and vanilla orchid. TUPAPAU White sandalwood, pikaki, 'umi'umi-o-dole, and plumeria. I CAN'T WAIT! I've ordered two of everything so if anyone wants a sample, LMK. Cheers!
