The official BPAL x Edward Gorey scent collab arrived on this planet right when whimsy was needed most. 👻

It’s live on our site, and coming soon to the @edwardgoreyhouse.bsky.social shop!

A 5ml amber apothecary bottle of BPAL’s “The Dregs of a Bottle of Vanilla Extract (Discovered in the Mud)” perfume oil, perched on a shiny brass disc that partially reflects both the perfume bottle and the ghostly Gorey illustration in the background.

What a delight this was! Many thanks to @edwardgoreyhouse.bsky.social for creating the Gorey Gala to celebrate what would have been Edward's 100th birthday.

Wishing a happy 100th birthday to #EdwardGorey: cat-lover, balletomane, Golden Girls fanboy, voracious reader, doll-maker, James Joyce hater, yard sale collector, and most importantly, our boss.

Born 2-22-25, #EdwardGorey would’ve been 100 today. “Working quite perversely to please himself,” he created “a whole little world” (Edmund Wilson). Happy centennial, Edward; you were born to be posthumous. May you always “make everyone as uneasy as possible.” (www.markdery.com/books/born-t...)
