The Current Perfume Post: mostly BPAL
Dec. 23rd, 2022 01:14 amtl;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.

Or Choose a Themed Freebie Package! These themed packages of mostly non-BPAL perfumes from my swaps box have a chance of having something good in them. Yay!

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!
