Welcome to Elise’s Happy Lioness Perfume Sale, Round 4!

Much here is limited edition or general catalog, including discontinued general catalog. Some are rarities. I have posted fragrance notes where I could find them. (That's why the prices did not drop this round on anything that now has fragrance notes; people kept asking, so I did a fair amount of work on fragrance notes. Other stuff sans notes is marked down, though!)

Please assume that labels are not perfect, except for my backup bottles. Bottle labels may be scuffed. Imp labels are usually curled, and there may be an oil spot or two. Or ten. In short, if you’re looking for pristine, this is so very not the sale for you.

Round 4 has no minimum. I will ship by any method you choose, because you pay the shipping. Small packages within the US cost about $5 to $7 via Ground Advantage; bottles may increase the weight enough that it's more, but rarely above $12. (When it does, I often offer to go halfsies.) If you want to check the US Postal Service price calculator, my zip code is 55407. PayPal sometimes gives me a discounted shipping rate, which I will refund the extra of to you, or to me if we've gone halfsies to keep your costs down. International postal rates are scary, but I am willing to try any accessible-to-me method you want to pay for.

Posting a comment here is the way to initiate a purchase. (If that's not possible, you can email me at lionesselise AT gmail DOT com.). I will do my best to take people in order of posting.

Payment is PayPal. If you want to use a credit card without having a PayPal account, I can invoice you.

I'm not up for swapping right now with one exception:

I will trade pretty much anything for some Luctor et Emergo from People of the Labyrinths.

( here be treasure )

P.S. Please do check my math. I sometimes forget the "multiple bottles for Y amount" so doublecheck, yah? I don't want to overcharge.

Welcome to Elise’s Happy Lioness Perfume Sale, Round 3!

Most of what I have here is limited edition or discontinued general catalog. There are some rarities here. For information on fragrance notes, I recommend the BPAL Forum reviews at https://www.bpal.org/ or Scentbase or one of the other scent hobby databases out there.

Please assume that labels are not perfect, except for my backup bottles. Bottle labels may be scuffed. Imp labels are usually curled, and there may be an oil spot or two. Or ten. In short, if you’re looking for pristine, this is so very not the sale for you.

Round 3 is special. On the upside, there's no minimum. On the downside, I will ship by any method you choose, because you pay the shipping. (Small packages within the US cost about $4 or $5 via Ground Advantage; bottles may increase the weight enough that it's more, but rarely above $10. (When it does, I often offer to go halfsies.) If you want to check the US Postal Service price calculator, my zip code is 55407. PayPal sometimes gives me a discounted shipping rate, which I will refund the extra of to you, or to me if we've gone halfsies to keep your costs down.)

( ... so many bottles ... so many imps ... )

Ridiculously special freebie for an astronomical level of purchase:
UNOPENED Bandit by Robert Piguet still sealed in original box. Yes, that one. Eau de Parfume Natural Spray, 1.7 fl oz50 ml e, certification on the side for Givaudan Fragrances Corporation, photographs available on request, yup - free with purchase of $200. It's supposed to be amazing but it has dealbreaker notes in it for me, alas. A friend gave it to me, and I would rather have it go unopened to someone who can enjoy it than pit myself against those notes.

Thank you for getting this far!

P.S. Please do check my math. I sometimes forget the "multiple bottles for Y amount" so doublecheck, yah? I don't want to overcharge.

Phase 2 means:

- minimum has dropped to $25
- I pay $5 of your postage
- I'll ship whatever way you wish, and you cover anything over that $5

Happy hunting and gathering!

Remember the sale with all the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab treasure? It's now Round 1, Phases 1 & 2, because I have added all the Nocturne Alchemy to the BPAL that was already up.

It's here: https://elisem.dreamwidth.org/1999140.html

Tell your perfume people, yah? I have a lot to clear out here.

Thanks.

~~Welcome to Elise’s Annoying AF Perfume Sale, Round 1 2!~~

NOTE as of Wednesday, November 6, 2024:
THE PERFUME SALE has a NEW POST at https://elisem.dreamwidth.org/2007247.html
This is Round 3 of the perfume sale.

NOTHING BELOW HERE APPLIES ANY MORE.
PLEASE GO TO THE ROUND 3 POST. THANKS!

Most of what I have here is limited edition or discontinued general catalog. There are some rarities here. Please buy for your own use or to swap with friends, not to resell for a profit. If I find out someone’s buying stuff to speculate in auctions, I’m unlikely to do this again, so don’t spoil it, OK?

~~Round 1 was the most annoying round, because minimum purchase of $50 and it’s US only, but free priority mail shipping in the US.~~
Round 2 is less annoying! The minimum drops to $25, and includes free Ground Advantage shipping in the US; if you are outside the US or you want a different kind of shipping, I will pay $5 of your shipping cost to keep parity. (I will ship by whatever means you ask, and you pay any shipping costs over that $5.) And there are freebies to select as usual. (If you don't mention freebies, I will assume you only want what you list.)

Payment is PayPal only. Posting a comment here is the way to buy. I will do my best to take people in order of posting.

Q: But Elise, why is your sale annoying in these particular ways?

A: Because I’m trying to make things as easy as possible on myself right now. Multiple disabilities and multiple chronic illnesses have me setting limits on what I can do. (I’m sorry for the annoyances. I wish I had the energy and wherewithal to pack a gazillion $7 packages like I used to back in the day. ~~Future rounds will have lower minimums, once I’ve done Round 1 phases 2 and 3, which are the Nocturne Alchemy and everything else scents.~~ It's Round 2 now, and therefore slightly less annoying, I hope! Round 3 will follow, with no minimum and with what I hope will be interesting package deals.)

( Yeah, yeah, fine, take me to the smellies already. )

Bandit by Robert Piguet still sealed in original box. Yes, that one. Eau de Parfume Natural Spray, 1.7 fl oz50 ml e, certification on the side for Givaudan Fragrances Corporation, photographs available on request, yup - free with purchase of $200. It's supposed to be amazing but it has dealbreaker notes in it for me, alas. A friend gave it to me, and I would rather send it on to someone who can enjoy it than pit myself against those notes.

... and possibly a few more treasures to come as I sort more things, so do stop back.

Last night at the workbench I finished the aquamarine necklace called "Will the Sea Remember Me?" It has a sterling silver lobster clasp which has a swivel, so the necklace can be untwisted without removing it. Useful little thing, a swivel clasp.

Here it is in the Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1550006235/will-the-sea-remember-me-short-necklace

I woke early today because it's a shipping day and I need to be near the door to hear when the USPS folks thump. (I have a note on the door asking them please to thump, because I am hard of hearing and cannot hear regular knocking very easily.) So with any luck I'll be able to get a good batch of new pieces up. There are a lot of them ready to go, and have been for a while. (See also "I need to have four of me to do everything on my task list.")

Today's perfume is Voodoo Queen from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, since it seems appropriate to wear a rare scent today.

I will almost certainly update this post again as my birthday proper continues. Whee!

What is your relationship to the sea? To other entities of water?

Today's good stuff included a quick online visit with my friend Stefanie, who is of the awesome, and some workbench time that was very satisfying indeed. I hope to get a little more workbench time after writing this and before finishing my paperwork of the day, on which I also worked today and sorted a great many things. Among those things was the Social Security paperwork, which is now in the right place for me to find it, and a lovely poem that my dear Pamela wrote me when we were newly involved. (Love you, Obble. Good poem, that one.)

A friend texted to ask me how my day was. I replied:

I had workbench time and will have more before I sleep. My packages got picked up and are on their way to their people. There is tasty rice and seaweed salad and sardines, and a little durian custard mooncake for dessert. There is paperwork to finish before sleep but I think it's doable. The Bereavement Lady called, and we talked. So mostly OK, I guess, except for the howling existential terror that accompanies living in the belly of this capitalist hellbeast. How's yours?"

Juan is in the kitchen making himself some caffeinated drinkable goodness. I'd like to get more dishes washed before sleep, but that might be more than I can manage. So dishes and sweepage and similar housecleaning may fall onto the next to-do list along with certain floor-moppage that is quite overdue, but that's how it's gone lately. Ten pounds of chores, five pound time sack.

Today's perfume: BPAL's Black Opal, which is not in my top tier but is pleasant in a quiet way.

Is there something that's been falling off your to-do list for a while, or a similar case of ten pounds of chores, five pound time sack?

This birthday month practice that I am doing, which is to get enough sleep (where 'enough' is defined as 'as much as my body asks for' rather than 'as much as i give my body before i wake using external means'), is startling sometimes. Granted, I did go to bed really late, but I did not expect my waking time today to be after 4 p.m. That's a bunch of sleep. I am trying to learn from this. Also, I think it's helping relax some muscles and might lead to some good things.

On the good side of today, I remembered to try a perfume, which is a thing that almost always makes me happy. (I use scent for various things including pain management. One side benefit of having minimal f2f social contact since the pandemic started is that I haven't had to keep track of where I was being and who I was being around and how I should arrange my schedule so that I could do scent work late in the day after being around anyone it might trouble, et cetera.) On the bad side of today, it turns out that today is a day my hands do not work as well as I would wish, so I spilled a bunch of BPAL single note Golden Champa Attar when I opened it, inadvertently turning today into a slather day. On the oh well side of today, it turns out I don't actually love this perfume, so it will go in the Go Away Box for swaps and sales when the weather turns coolish, so having spilled it does not bum me out too much.

Also for today I decided to start the day's entry early (well, it's early in my particular day, seeing as I woke up less than an hour and a half ago), while in the part of my day which is post-medication-ingestion and pre-put-food-in-me, the part where the meds settle. So here is an early start, and I will add more if the day works out that way.

And how is your day going? Do you use scents for anything? Ands how are your hands doing, and the coordination thereof?

It was a day and it went whoosh, at least after I got to the workbench. I made another pair of the earrings that there will not be many more of, and will put it up when I wake.

It was also a day of seeing a couple of dear people on line. Friends are so dear. I don't have words for it, but they are.

Today's perfume was BPAL's Jareth, which is hilarious on account of a game I am in right now where my character wound up playing Jareth in a live and very silly remake of Labyrinth. Good perfume, although rather fugitive. (I had to reapply.) I also agree that it has Big Codpiece Energy in there. With sparkles. Which makes me giggle.

How was your day? How are your dear people? Has anything made you laugh lately?

tl;dr For every bottle you buy, you get one thing from the freebie list. Also, shipping is free. (Continental US only. Apologies for limiting it, but I don't have enough figure-out-iness to calculate the rest right now.)

HOW THIS WORKS:

1. Pick out one or more priced bottles from the list that you want to buy. Prices are listed.
2. Pick out one freebie (a sniffy bottle or themed package or BPAL experimental proto from the freebie section at the bottom) for each priced bottle.
3. Post here about what you want to buy. Or email me at lionesselise at gmail dot com. I'll do the best I can to keep it first-come, first-served.
4. Postage is included, which is why I must regretfully limit this to continental US.
5. Payment comes through PayPal unless you are bribing me with tempting beads or by delivering an order of Kouign Amann and those gruyere and ham croissants from Patisserie 46. (They are AMAZING and there is a reason that place's founding baker has major awards. OM NOM NOM.)
6. If something's crossed out, it's gone.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. All bottles listed are 5ml unless otherwise specified.
2. These are from my swaps box. Do not assume perfect storage in perfect temperatures or conditions.
3. "Imps" are sample-size vials. 5 ml bottles usually have 5 imps in them.
4. The bottles listed here are all BPAL, including the freebie sniffies. Other perfumers' items are in the freebie packages. Freebie packages may include a little BPAL or none. A few freebie packages are all BPAL and labeled as such.
5. Other perfumers' work doesn't necessarily age as nicely as BPAL. Throw away anything that is no longer delightful. Please figure that there might be at least a few like that in each freebie. Or a lot That's why the freebie packages are freebies.
6. These are for the freewheelin' adventurous type perfume quest people, and the above notes are why.
7. Have fun!
8. Some of these are amazingly old and sought-after and could be sold at three times the prices I have here. Please don't get 'em just to resell 'em -- unless you're going to do a decant circle with them at a sensible price for some of the new-to-BPAL to try these legends. That'd be fine by me.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh dear Galloping Gertie and her Gilded Glockenspiel, I found a whole nother swaps box as big as the first two put together. It seems to be full of Nocturne Alchemy bottles and samples. (They say scarabs where BPAL says imps., if I remember aright.) Umm.... $2 per bottle, or get 6 bottles for $10 plus I will throw some of the scarabs in there too. If you're getting less than $12, probably better throw in $5 for postage, OK? Drowning in perfume here. Halp!
All the NA has found a home.

I've been sorting out my various collections of perfumes (it's a collection if it's alphabetized or otherwise organized; if not, it's just a happy hoard) and have accumulated a lot of things in the Go-Away Box, so it is time for the great grab bag adventure.

SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM BECAUSE I GOT ALL SORTY ON THINGS. WHEE! New offer is up at https://elisem.dreamwidth.org/1953749.html

Here are my offerings:

1. GRAB BAGS PROPER: For $20 you will get at least two dozen scents (my choice, no requests) to play with in the form of partial or full sample vials. Some may be aged. Oh, heck, most will be aged. The BPAL holds its scent nicely over time, as does the Possets; the Nocturne Alchemy, not so reliable there, but some are gorgeous. There are a few commercial perfume samples mixed in. There may be 5 ml bottles mixed in as well, in varying degrees of fullness from sample to almost full. Postage is INCLUDED in this.

2. SPECIFIC COMPANIES GRAB BAGS: Tell me what company or companies to stick to, and I will build you a $20 grab bag with at least two dozen scents (my choice, no requests) to play with in the form of partial or full sample vials and/or bottles. Postage is INCLUDED in this.

3. SPECIFIC SCENT GRAB BAGS: Tell me something you are specifically looking for and I'll tell you if I have it available. We'll build a grab bag from there, at a price you agree with. Postage is INCLUDED in this.

About shipping: I'll ship either by USPS Priority mail or USPS First Class mail. Let me know if you have preferences. Going First Class means I can afford to tuck another scent or three in there. This whole thing is a way for me to try out some shipping and packaging options, as well as to send treasures out to have new adventures.) Unfortunately, I can only ship to US addresses right now. (If any US people are willing to act as agents for people outside the US and handle shipping from there, please feel free to give your contact info in the comments.)

About condition: These imps and bottles might be scuffed or otherwise knocked about, been in non-optimal temperature situations, et cetera. Some have probably lost their potency, especially the non-BPAL stuff. This offer is for adventurous yet easygoing sorts, I guess.

About swaps: I have waaaaay too many things to be looking for swaps, although I am interested in samples of the various Nocturne Alchemy Ankhs if you have some. Other than that, I do sometimes trade for beads, depending on the beads. Or musical instruments.

PayPal preferred, but other payment may be possible; let me know what works for you.

Is there anything else useful to know?

Edited to add: If you would rather email me at my gmail address, I am lionesselise there. Please put something in the subject line about perfume grab bags, and do poke me if I don't reply quickly, as sometimes things get missed. Thanks!

Edited again to add: If you want a bigger grab bag, adding another $10 will get you a dozen more samples to play with. Or $20 more gets you 2 dozen more, $30 more gets you 3 dozen more, et cetera.

Edited again again to add: For those of you who like trying prototypes, you might check out the Amanda Palmer t-shirts I've listed on eBay, which have freebies that go with them. Here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185695398561

Edited again again again to add: Make sure you've read the section above about condition. I probably had better be more blunt, too: expect at least one or two of these to unexpectedly suck. That's why I'm putting so many in there, to make up for the odd one or two that maybe aged into scentlessness. (Wow, Autocarrot does not like that word no matter how I spell it.) Like I said, it's a wild ride, full of adventure and the occasional unexpected meh space. (OK, I will stop fretting and get on with filling little boxes with treasure.)

Edited to add: I got all sorty on things, so I'm re-doing this as a series of themed packages, which I will post here as soon as I have a few to begin with. (Yes, sorting perfume is soothing to me, much the way that sorting beads is.)
