New Lunacy, OG BB and The Plagues Of Egypt

[bpalgeekgirldiva]

First up: New lunacy!

Continuing with Tabula Selenographica’s trip through the lunar landscape, we are thrilled to present:



MARE CRISIUM

The Sea of Crises. A discordant, clashing shock of petitgrain, rosemary, and fir needle, roiling with fiery mandarin and acerbic lime.

*******************************************

In the spirit of resurrection…

Many years ago, Black Phoenix released a scent called Banshee Beat. We have 110 bottles left to sell of the remaining stock, and they’re releasing into the wild as OG BB. The bottles have matured beautifully; the patchouli note is richer, deeper, and lovelier than ever.

OG BB

A tousled, sexy mix of patchouli, vanilla, and hemp.

Because we know that so many people love this scent, Black Phoenix will be offering an updated version in our GC soon under an appropriately silly name, Revenant Rhythm.


*******************************************

Plague has swept the Lab…



Buy all ten Plagues, and get a free exclusive imp:

ANGEL OF DEATH

Aged frankincense and white sandalwood gilded by a richly spiced agarwood.

Please note: the Angel of Death will only pay a visit to your home if you purchase a full set of Plagues. Otherwise, he’ll simply pass over.

At this time, we are unable to process Golden Calves as payment. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The Plagues will be decimating the land until 4 June 2015.



++ PLAGUES OF EGYPT

BLOOD THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND

Beholde, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand, vpon the waters which are in the riuer, and they shalbe turned to blood. And the fish that is in the riuer shall die, and the riuer shall stincke, and the Egyptians shall loathe to drinke of the water of the riuer. And the Lord spake vnto Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, & stretch out thine hand vpon the waters of Egypt, vpon their streames, vpon their riuers, and vpon their ponds, and vpon all their pooles of water, that they may become blood, and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone. And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded: and he lift vp the rod and smote the waters that were in the riuer, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his seruants: and all the waters that were in the riuer, were turned to blood. And the fish that was in the riuer died: and the riuer stunke, and the Egyptians could not drinke of the water of the riuer: and there was blood throughout all the land Egypt.

Olive wood, acacia, and juniper, stone and clay, all thick with blood and crusted with dust.


SMITE ALL THY BORDERS WITH FROGGES

Beholde, I will smite all thy borders with frogges. And the riuer shall bring foorth frogges abundantly, which shall goe vp and come into thine house, and into thy bed-chamber, and vpon thy bed, and into the house of thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine ouens, and into thy kneading troughes. And the frogges shall come vp both on thee, and vpon thy people, and vpon all thy seruants. And the Lord spake vnto Moses; Say vnto Aaron, Stretch foorth thine hand with thy rodde ouer the streames, ouer the riuers, and ouer the ponds, and cause frogges to come vp vpon the land of Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his hand ouer the waters of Egypt, and the frogges came vp, and couered the land of Egypt. And the Magicians did so with their inchantments, and brought vp frogges vpon the land of Egypt.

Amphibious green musk with bog moss, benzoin, Mountain sage, Brazilian vetiver, tomato leaf, cucumber pulp, and unripe squash.


ALL THE DUST OF THE LAND

Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice, thorowout all the land of Egypt. And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice, in man and in beast: all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. And the Magicians did so with their enchantments to bring foorth lice, but they could not: so there were lice vpon man and vpon beast.

An infestation of Ceylon cinnamon bark, black patchouli, tonka absolute, bitter almond, and frankincense.


A GRIEVOUS SWARM

Beholde, I will send swarmes of flies vpon thee, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall bee full of swarmes of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. And I will seuer in that day the lande of Goshen in which my people dwell, that no swarmes of flies shall be there, to the end thou maiest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. And I will put a diuision betweene my people and thy people: to morrow shall this signe be. And the Lord did so: and there came a grieuous swarme of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his seruants houses, and into all the lande of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarme of flies.

Black pepper and vetiver with cardamom, blackened vanilla, and tobacco absolute.


A VERY GRIEVOUS MURRAINE

Behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thy cattell which is in the field, vpon the horses, vpon the asses, vpon the camels, vpon the oxen, and vpon the sheepe: there shall be a very grieuous murraine. And the Lord shall seuer betweene the cattell of Israel, and the cattell of Egypt, and there shall nothing die of all that is the childrens of Israel. And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the Lord shall doe this thing in the land.

Brown musk, myrrh, and sun-baked leather afflicted by splotches of saffron and red musk.


UPON MAN AND UPON BEAST

Take to you handfuls of ashes of the fornace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the heauen, in the sight of Pharaoh: And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall bee a boyle breaking forth with blaines, vpon man and vpon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt. And they tooke ashes of the fornace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it vp toward heauen: and it became a boile breaking forth with blaines, vpon man and vpon beast.

Dry patchouli and white sandalwood oozing with lesions of labdanum, wet red cherry, and opoponax.


FIRE MINGLED WITH THE HAILE

Behold, to morrow about this time, I wil cause it to raine a very grieuous haile, such as hath not bene in Egypt, since the foundation thereof euen vntill now. Send therefore now, and gather thy cattell, and all that thou hast in the field: for vpon euery man and beast which shal be found in the field, and shal not bee brought home, the haile shall come downe vpon them, and they shall die. Hee that feared the word of the Lord amongst the seruants of Pharaoh, made his seruants and his cattell flee into the houses. And he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his seruants and his cattell in the field. And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heauen, that there may be haile in all the land of Egypt, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon euery herbe of the field, thorowout the land of Egypt. And Moses stretched foorth his rod toward heauen, and the Lord sent thunder and haile, and the fire ranne along vpon the ground, and the Lord rained haile vpon the land of Egypt. So there was haile, and fire mingled with the haile, very grieuous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation. And the haile smote throughout all the land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast: and the haile smote euery herbe of the fielde, and brake euery tree of the field.

Fields smashed by torrential rain, seared by gouts of celestial fire.


THEY SHALL EATE THE RESIDUE OF THAT WHICH IS ESCAPED

Behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast. And they shall couer the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth, and they shall eate the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth vnto you from the haile, and shall eate euery tree, which groweth for you out of the field. And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy seruants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers fathers haue seene, since the day that they were vpon the earth, vnto this day.

Dry vanilla mint with rosewood, balsam, green sandalwood, green mate absolute, and sage.


THREE DAYES

Stretch out thine hand toward heauen, that there may be darkenesse ouer the land of Egypt, euen darkenes which may be felt. And Moses stretched foorth his hand toward heauen: and there was a thicke darkenesse in all the land of Egypt three dayes. They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three dayes: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

The impenetrable darkness of opoponax and vetiver, sliced through with a shiver of mint, white grape, star anise, and pungent frankincense.


ABOUT MIDNIGHT

About midnight will I goe out into the midst of Egypt. And all the first borne in the lande of Egypt shall die, from the first borne of Pharaoh, that sitteth vpon his throne, euen vnto the first borne of the maid seruant that is behind the mill, and all the first borne of beasts. And there shall bee a great crie throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall bee like it any more.

Judgement rendered: vanillic sandalwood, holy balsam, cedar, and frankincense.
