BPAL -- finally!!

After years and years of hearing people rave about BPAL online, I now have the very first imps here on my table, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] moons_storm. Thank you thank you thank you!! It's fascinating stuff.


Erm, what do I have to do to get more 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn'? It's not just that there's a faun on the label, I opened the pretty bottle, and immediately fell in love with the scent of what little oil is left in it (it's an empty, which apparently still get passed around so people can sniff them). I dabbed the rim of that bottle on my wrists, and it was Just Right.

You can go to a community like [livejournal.com profile] sinandsalvation and put up an ISO (in search of) post. You'd just need to say something about being in Germany, not wanting to pay more than the original cost of the bottle ($17.50) plus shipping costs (which is usually $4 internationally) and that's you're new to BPAL but the empty you received was just perfect on you and you'd like an actual bottle of it.

People only take Paypal, and usually ask that you chip in on Paypal fees (about $0.50 or so). [livejournal.com profile] sinandsalvation is a great community as no one will gouge you on prices (they have rules against that).

I've only ever tried BPAL when someone gave me imps and I do love them I'm not in the habit of wearing perfume.

I'd like to be but my mom has pretty serious allergies so I can only wear it when I'm not at home.

I just love the names for the perfumes and the thought in all their stuff.
