BPAL SEPTEMBER (WEENIES PART 2)
BEAVER MOON 2012
Traditionally, Beaver Moon is named thus for a very obvious reason: during this time of year, beavers are hard at work building their dams and preparing for the onset of winter. However, we at BPAL rarely let an opportunity for sleazy campiness pass us by! For your pleasure and amusement, we present this year’s incarnation of Beaver Moon: gooey apple cheesecake!
HALLOWEEN IN THE MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
...The silence was soothing, though, and the scent of the yellowed books and polished oak tables reminded me strongly of my childhood home...His breath smelled like pumpkin lattes, and there was a faint trace of cologne swirling around him.

BPAL OCTOBER 25 UPDATE (SNOW MOON ETC)
RUM-SOAKED FRENCH TONKA
I love the hell out of tonka, but using the absolute in perfumery is not a particularly great idea: tonka beans possess a high concentration of coumarin, an anticoagulant that is toxic to both the liver and kidneys, and might be carcinogenic to boot. Not fun stuff! Our tonka accord is a sweet, warmly sensual fragrance redolent of a vaguely clove-touched deep, dark vanilla balsam that has been lightly sweetened with almond and rum.

A ridiculously charismatic blend of bay rum, honey, and white musk mingling with the scent of harp wood and lute strings and the twang of horn brass.
