BPAL Pretty Deadly collection
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase.
Congratulations to comics_grrl – enjoy your BPAL!
Contrasts make the most interesting pairings. I’m sure you’ve paired leather with lace. And who doesn’t love sweet and salty? Now, allow me to introduce you to pretty and deadly.
Pretty Deadly is a comic book series brought to life through the collaboration of two very talented and imaginative females; writer Kelly Sue Deconnick and artist Emma Ríos. The tale is described as a supernatural western; the rawness of the wild west meets a mix of horror, mythology and fairy tale. It’s the story of Ginny, who is Death’s daughter and a reaper of vengeance. She rides the wind on a horse made of smoke, her face tattooed with the skull marks of her father, looking for her own revenge. The ultimate showdown with Death. Oh yeah, and it’s told by a dead rabbit to a butterfly.
If that’s not begging for a Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume collection, I don’t know what is!
While I have not read the series, I have sniffed the oils, all based on characters in the story. And they gorgeously kick ass, as I imagine the tale itself does too. It’s one of the prettiest BPAL collections I’ve ever smelled. That’s right, I said ever. Combine that with the graphic and eerie illustrated labels, and you’ve got Pretty Deadly.
Have I got you excited? I hope so, because we’re giving you the chance to win all 7 oils! Check out the descriptions below and enter today…
Alice, The Reaper of Cruelty – Bourbon geranium emboldened by the rich scent of aged patchouli, the sweetness of peach, raspberry leaf, and bourbon vanilla, surrounded by a butterfly swarm of spicy carnation and Italian bergamot.
Beauty, The Aggrieved – A white rose draped by a delicate, pale, sheer veil of vanilla, the depth and darkness of her black lace embodied by tobacco absolute, Indonesian patchouli, Bulgarian oakmoss, frankincense, white sandalwood, and myrrh.
Ginny, The Reaper of Vengeance – Sharp tobacco flower and white cognac, a thin layer of smoke, and dusty black pepper pierced by the amber of her eyes.
Lily, The Prostitute – Heady blossoms of jasmine, white gardenia, and magnolia sharpened by neroli, given a voluptuous depth by red patchouli, oakmoss, and cedar.
Molly, The Reaper of Justice – White lime with lily of the valley, oudh, Himalayan cedar, nagarmotha, and tobacco for the sheen of raven feathers, and saffron, white honey, and amber for her fierceness, strength, and courage.
Sarah, The Mother Bear – Practical scents; warm, nurturing, wise, and strong: tonka bean, soft brown leather, myrrh, white sage, gurjum balsam, Ceylon cinnamon bark, red sandalwood, sweet tobacco, and a touch of gunsmoke.
Sissy, The Ascendant – Sassafras and smoke for black vulture feathers, and King mandarin and red musk for the deep red-orange of the vulture’s face. Blue lilac and chamomile / opoponax and vetiver for the blue and black of her eyes. Vanilla bean and fig represent her innate goodness and instinctive kindness.

I think this one is the one I am more curios about Sissy, The Ascendant
I’m really curious about Sarah. I love myrhh and can’t say I’ve ever smelled a gunsmoke accord.
Sarah looks really intriguing – also I have to say this is some of my favorite bottle art!
oooh, Lily, The Prostitute sounds right up my ally! I love floral, especially white gardenia and cedar.
I’m really interested in ‘Beauty’
Lily looks the most like something I’d wear, but the most intriguing are Molly and Beauty <3
I want to sniff them all, but am most intrigued by Sissy.
I want to try Sarah the Mother Bear the most. Although they all sound amazing!
It would be so amazing to win these. Great collection <3
Sissy seems such a strange combination of notes that I can’t possibky imagine what it would smell like. It makes it a rather mysteriuos scent.
I’m very interested in Ginny, The Reaper of Vengeance. I need more pepper scents in my life <3
Molly seems like something I could fall in love with ;)
More excited to smell Sissy. Sounds great!
Sarah — it’s my name and I love warm, comforting blends!
They all sound amazing, but I am very curious what Sissy, The Ascendant smells like.
It’s all about Alice :)
All of the scents sound very interesting! The one I am most excited about is Beauty! The artwork on the bottle and the whole story line is pretty rad! I’ve had my eye on this line ever since it dropped! Beth Barrial is a scent wizard!
Sissy…I can’t wait for this!!!!!!!
I really, really love Pretty Deadly. I really, REALLY love BPAL. I’ve been chewing my nails over which scent to buy for the last two months! Sarah is probably my first choice, with Lily and Sissy as close seconds. But all of them look so delicious I can’t decide.
I think Alice the reaper of cruelty looks really interesting!
They all sound fantastic.
Alice seems like just the scent to add to my wardrobe.
sarah sounds lovely, and the bottle art is fab
I reallly want to try Alice!
They all sound interesting and unique, but I think I would be most excited to try Sarah, The Mother Bear.
Molly’s lily-of-the-valley plus cedar speaks to me, but they all look incredible!

I’m definitely most excited about Sarah!

I’m really really curious to try Sissy. Sarah sounds incredible too!
Wow, Alice sounds incredible!

Sissy and Alice sound awesome
I’m curious about Beauty, The Aggrieved.
I’m most excited for Alice. Oh my.
Ooh, Sarah sounds really lovely!
They all sound amaaazing! Lily the Prostitute especially calls my name. ;D
Sissy and/or Sarah are the two I’m most excited about! I love smoky scents.

I’ve been really wanting to try sarah
So many I’d love to win since so many are really intriguing and I’m wondering what might work best for me but I’ll pick Sissy- pretty much anything w/red musk works superbly on me. :o)
Saffron & lime & lily of the valley? Molly, the Reaper of Justice, of course!
This is awesome! I want to try them so bad. It is hard to choose which one I’d like to try the most, but I think Sissy.
Sarah and Ginny…. they both sound lovely and it’s been so long since I’ve been able to treat myself to BPAL <3
I could use some good mothering right now, so how about it Sarah?
I was just thinking I needed some more BPAL….
Lily or Sarah sound great!
I’m most excited about Beauty – she sounds so feminine and sweet :)
BPAL is magical! :)
Alice sounds very intriguing to me.
Alice! All scents I love!
Beauty sounds so unique and lovely! Scents with rose in them last rather long on my skin and the darker notes to it make it sound so intriguing. It would go well with my new little black dress~
Even if I don’t win, I’ll likely try very hard to get my hands on this scent.
Most excited about Alice!

I’m very excited about the prostitute scent. I love anything with strong, heady florals in it.

I’m itching to try them all! But especially Sissy. Love me some smoke. :)
Being a consummate fan of this most talented trio (i.e.: Kelly Sue McCormick/Emma Ríos/Jordie Bellaire) I’d go for the complete set, but forced to choose one I’ll go with Ginny, The Reaper of Vengeance.
I’m extremely ashamed! I completely re-invented Kelly Sue’s surname. It’s DeConnick, actually! I hope to get those bottles, anyway! ;)
These all sound great, but I’m really excited to try Sarah.
I really want the Lily scent. I love jasmine.
Beauty!! That scent has my favorite notes in it. But I’m in the market for some fresh scents! This would be perf
Molly’s my favorite character, and her scent sounds gorgeous. They all do. It would be nearly impossible for me to choose one to buy in a normal situation. Which is why I’m so excited about this giveaway!
Sissy, the musk sounds interesting.
Alice. Bourbon and geraniums, YES PLEASE!
I’m really intrigued by the Alice scent, but then again, having the potential to be more like Deathface Ginny is always a bonus.
They all sound lovely, but Sissy and Alice are the two I’m most curious about.
I’m most excited for Ginny! For obvious reasons. But I think Sarah and Sissy are also going to be delish.
I would love to win Alice because although I’d love the tabacco scent with Ginny’s, I love most peach scents/flavors so I’d like Alice’s!
I really want to try the Ginny scent. Would go well with my Ginny cosplay :)
I love all of these!
Alice sounds the most interesting to me. I’d love a chance to sniff it.
I love BPAL so much! Alice looks amazing!
