My BPAL + other e-tailers sale/swap post!
Hello, all! I'm maintaining a central sales post on my ElJay for ease of editing and keeping things in one place. I have bottles and imps, LE and GC, all sorts of goodies to be found, and I include freebies with every shipment! Links for each scent lead to the review section at bpal.org, and I do my best to include a notes list with the non-BPAL items. My feedback post is over here (with a link to my bpal.org feedback), and my wish list is right here.
Necessary Stuff: Shipping is $3.00 within the US (includes DC). I will ship internationally, but contact me for a quote. International postal fees have been all over the place lately, alas. Please buy at least $7.00 worth of stuff pre-shipping. LET ME KNOW if you want insurance; I will not be responsible for uninsured packages. I accept CC and non-CC PayPal. If you want to buy or swap but don't have or want to make a livejournal account, please either PM me on bpal.org (I'm karihan) or email me at karihan (dot) chris (at) gmail (dot) com.
NOTE ON BOTTLE FULLNESS: I measure the oil levels of my bottles in millimeters. For comparison, from bottom to where the shoulder starts on a standard BPAL bottle is 30mm and the neck starts at about 32mm. I include the to-neck measurement as well for any bottle that doesn't fit that measurement. For those who would rather not do math, I've also included an estimate of "how full" based on the mm measurement, and if you'd like to see a photo of any of my items, let me know which ones and I'll be happy to provide.
Newly added items are in Bold.

All of the imps below, except for the ones marked otherwise, are at least 80% full (lab-full) as far as I can tell.

Please let me know if you care about label condition, as some have been rolled and others are slightly marked. All are legible unless marked otherwise. Please buy at least $7.00 worth (pre-shipping) to make it worth the packaging. 8^)

Arcana:
Blooddrop:
Merci No. 57 (5ml LE, 31mm (full)), $6.00
No notes list for this, but one review I saw said the following: "It reminded me of The Cat right off the bat. I don't know if that's just the cinnamon talking or if they share other notes like the vanillaed sandalwood, but there's a kind of warm, musky softness to the scent that made me think "ooh! The Cat!" right away. It's an autumn spice-y perfume with good staying power; I smell orange and spices, mostly cinnamon, a little Orange Pekoe-ish but in a good way; I don't think it has too much of a potpourri vibe. Just feels lovely for the season." I also get a soft touch of sweet resin to this, possibly frankincense, but it's so light I can't be certain.

"Mandarin orange, Neroli and subtle black tea."
Haus of Gloi:
Absinthe, $1.50
"Hauntingly herbal. Wormwood and anise swim in a creamy green sea of lemon balm, green lemon, soft glowing mints, a hefty lump of sugar and the tiniest drop of suggestive deep green moss."
Elevenses (dram bottle, 36mm, full to neck), $8.50
"Tiny, little, fluffy orange cakes, sugar coated toasty almonds and a wee steaming cup of black tea."

Inagodadavida (5ml, 27mm (9/10 full)), $14.00

Charlotte the Halloween Sweet (5ml LE, 32mm w/neck at 31mm (full)), $9.50
"Foody smooth beautiful, Charlotte is a gourmand's dream. Concentrated vanilla is swirled round with the most smooth of amber and caramel, topped off by a sprinkling of Saigon cinnamon (the finest kind) and a deep crust of sugar."
Cornucopia, $1.50
"Pomegranate, ginger, a bit of chrysanthemum, cranberries, a bit of cherry syrup and that is cornucopia."
Frolic, $1.50
"Big doses of my Sweet Olive reflect the last blooming of that plant on my windowsill. There is a dry and refreshingly zippy tone to Frolic that is so welcome at this time of year. This is a wake up and enjoy kind of scent that means to get you out of doors and stop you from being sluggish in the nicest possible way. Unisex and sweetly tangy, fruity, and smooth."
The Girls Love Chocolate (5ml LE, 33mm, full), $9.50
"Imagine a thick chocolate shell covering a center of semi-crystallized honey which crunches ever so appealingly as you bite into it. The honey is of the very high class sort, not at all cloying and very fresh. somehow this combination turned out to be gourmandy and imminently wearable at the same time so that a foody scent is elevated to the level of a regular appealing perfume."
Haute Love, $1.50
"Ginger, you say you want ginger? Like love it's hot and burns so beautifully! Imagine chocolate covered ginger which is forced to marry a gooey sticky sweet and all consuming center. It is so clean...it is so very sinful! Characteristics: Foody, spicy, chocolate, vanilla, scent locket, unisex, home scent, long lasting."
Les Girls--Sugar Puss, $1.50
"Sassy enough to grab all of the attention, clever enough to keep it. Sugarpuss is very very sweet but manages to maintain a sophistication and character which puts it squarely in the vanguard. Sugary, with a kiss of red jam and the smooth creamy note which Possets is so famous for."
Lily, The Halloween Vixen, (5ml LE, 31mm w/neck at 31mm), $9.50
"Beautiful lychee-quat and nut butters just take the best of exotic fruits and line them with the most appealingly unctuous roasted nuts. This is a treat fragrance which combines all of the best parts of either end of the sharp to smooth spectrum. There is nothing about Lily which is astringent but she is not entirely tame. Fruity, foody, gourmand."
Michelle (5ml LE, 31mm w/neck at 31mm), $9.50
"Exquisite and to the point, this is an amplified and fresh pear fragrance combined with golden musk (to make it stick better), a breath of greenery to push the pear scent, and another whisker of a white musk to give it roundness (for a pear should be round). Very nice and very refreshing."
Nigel (5ml LE, 31mm w/neck at 31mm), $9.50
"Fresh and yet sweet, Nigel has a hint of fir around his fur but a heart which is pure candy and nuts. Nigel would love to curl up on an expensive wreath and have a snooze next to a big box of caramels. A beautiful scent with the pairing of unexpected pine and candy, maybe he is a citizen of the great indoors and the holidays are his best time!"
Orpiment (5ml LE, 30mm w/dip), $9.50
"Yellow yellow and impenetrable yellow here. With all of the yellows veering off into orange and into deepest opaque gold. Apricot, honey, amber and a light and golden musk unite for a really beautiful and long lasting fragrance based on a precious yet poisonous blend of color and substance."
Passion (5ml, 33mm), $9.50
"A supersaturated chocolate solution of chocolated chocolate with a smooth chocolate interior and a chocolate shell covered in chocolate sauce and floating in a puddle of chocolate. All manner of chocolate in one place and that place is heaven."
Penelope (5ml bottle, 30mm (full to shoulder)), $9.50 pending to bookishgeek
"Penelope combines a red currant and pomegranate base with playful foody and sweet topnotes. Very sexy and pretty, feminine and grown up but retaining just enough of the kitten to keep the tone light."
Sex in Heaven (5ml, 30mm w/neck at 30mm, full to neck), $9.50 pending to bookishgeek
"Coconut, vanillas (two fabulous types: Mexican and Tahitian), and a lashing of sandalwood. Glory, this is heaven!"
Silver Violets, $1.50
"Imagine the first violets of spring poking their heads up above a thin covering of snow and sparkling with a silvery light. Silver Violets is sweet but refreshing and welcome at any time of the year."
Sunshine in a Bottle - California, $1.50 pending to bookishgeek
"Golden, sunny citrus and honey. A small desert flower blooms but way in the distance, and you have to admit that this really is a beautiful place. Much more honeyed than floral, unbelievably pretty (but a man could get away with wearing it). It's like an American Chypre with the orange and sunny parts of the resins."
Titanium White, $1.50
"Titanium White is white tropical flowers on a white sheet with white sunlight streaming into the interior. White snow playing outside your windowpane as you sit on a white silk tufted pillow drinking fragrant Chinese white tea out of tissue-thin white porcelin cups. The many facets of white. Characteristics: crisp, cooling, summer scent, dry, perfumy."
Victory, $1.50
"This is a simple and straightforward fragrance which concentrates on fighting fatigue while keeping you alert and motivated to get to the next level. Thyme and sage, lemongrass and light camphor, a bit of rosemary, and the lightest hint of white sharp amber to keep it all knit together without being dulling."
Western Hills, $1.50
"Western Hills is a sweet but daring rendition of that part of Cincinnati. Like the real thing, it's sporty, foody, rich and robust but with a heartbreaking familiarity like what you feel when you go home again. Characteristics: foody, sporty, cutting edge, unisex."
ZOMG Smells:
Meddyglyn (5ml LE, 32mm, full to neck), $13.00
"Honey, cinnamon, golden ginger, and basil."

Arcana:
Blooddrop:
Merci No. 57 (5ml LE, 31mm (full)), $6.00
No notes list for this, but one review I saw said the following: "It reminded me of The Cat right off the bat. I don't know if that's just the cinnamon talking or if they share other notes like the vanillaed sandalwood, but there's a kind of warm, musky softness to the scent that made me think "ooh! The Cat!" right away. It's an autumn spice-y perfume with good staying power; I smell orange and spices, mostly cinnamon, a little Orange Pekoe-ish but in a good way; I don't think it has too much of a potpourri vibe. Just feels lovely for the season." I also get a soft touch of sweet resin to this, possibly frankincense, but it's so light I can't be certain.

Charlotte the Halloween Sweet (5ml LE, 32mm w/neck at 31mm (full)), $9.50

Cornucopia, $1.50
"Pomegranate, ginger, a bit of chrysanthemum, cranberries, a bit of cherry syrup and that is cornucopia."

"Big doses of my Sweet Olive reflect the last blooming of that plant on my windowsill. There is a dry and refreshingly zippy tone to Frolic that is so welcome at this time of year.

The Girls Love Chocolate (5ml LE, 33mm, full), $9.50
"Imagine a thick chocolate shell covering a center of semi-crystallized honey which crunches ever so appealingly as you bite into it. The honey is of the very high class sort, not at all cloying and very fresh. somehow this combination turned out to be gourmandy and imminently wearable at the same time so that a foody scent is elevated to the level of a regular appealing perfume."
Haute Love, $1.50
"Ginger, you say you want ginger? Like love it's hot and burns so beautifully! Imagine chocolate covered ginger which is forced to marry a gooey sticky sweet and all consuming center.

Les Girls--Sugar Puss, $1.50
"Sassy enough to grab all of the attention, clever enough to keep it. Sugarpuss is very very sweet but manages to maintain a sophistication and character which puts it squarely in the vanguard. Sugary, with a kiss of red jam and the smooth creamy note which Possets is so famous for."
Lily, The Halloween Vixen, (5ml LE, 31mm w/neck at 31mm), $9.50
"Beautiful lychee-quat and nut butters just take the best of exotic fruits and line them with the most appealingly unctuous roasted nuts. This is a treat fragrance which combines all of the best parts of either end of the sharp to smooth spectrum. There is nothing about Lily which is astringent but she is not entirely tame. Fruity, foody, gourmand."
Michelle (5ml LE, 31mm w/neck at 31mm), $9.50
"Exquisite and to the point, this is an amplified and fresh pear fragrance combined with golden musk (to make it stick better), a breath of greenery to push the pear scent, and another whisker of a white musk to give it roundness (for a pear should be round). Very nice and very refreshing."
Nigel (5ml LE, 31mm w/neck at 31mm), $9.50
"Fresh and yet sweet, Nigel has a hint of fir around his fur but a heart which is pure candy and nuts. Nigel would love to curl up on an expensive wreath and have a snooze next to a big box of caramels. A beautiful scent with the pairing of unexpected pine and candy, maybe he is a citizen of the great indoors and the holidays are his best time!"
Orpiment (5ml LE, 30mm w/dip), $9.50
"Yellow yellow and impenetrable yellow here. With all of the yellows veering off into orange and into deepest opaque gold. Apricot, honey, amber and a light and golden musk unite for a really beautiful and long lasting fragrance based on a precious yet poisonous blend of color and substance."
Passion (5ml, 33mm), $9.50
"A supersaturated chocolate solution of chocolated chocolate with a smooth chocolate interior and a chocolate shell covered in chocolate sauce and floating in a puddle of chocolate. All manner of chocolate in one place and that place is heaven."
Penelope (5ml bottle, 30mm (full to shoulder)), $9.50 pending to bookishgeek
"Penelope combines a red currant and pomegranate base with playful foody and sweet topnotes. Very sexy and pretty, feminine and grown up but retaining just enough of the kitten to keep the tone light."
Sex in Heaven (5ml, 30mm w/neck at 30mm, full to neck), $9.50 pending to bookishgeek
"Coconut, vanillas (two fabulous types: Mexican and Tahitian), and a lashing of sandalwood. Glory, this is heaven!"
Silver Violets, $1.50
"Imagine the first violets of spring poking their heads up above a thin covering of snow and sparkling with a silvery light. Silver Violets is sweet but refreshing and welcome at any time of the year."
Sunshine in a Bottle - California, $1.50 pending to bookishgeek
"Golden, sunny citrus and honey. A small desert flower blooms but way in the distance, and you have to admit that this really is a beautiful place. Much more honeyed than floral, unbelievably pretty (but a man could get away with wearing it). It's like an American Chypre with the orange and sunny parts of the resins."
Titanium White, $1.50
"Titanium White is white tropical flowers on a white sheet with white sunlight streaming into the interior. White snow playing outside your windowpane as you sit on a white silk tufted pillow drinking fragrant Chinese white tea out of tissue-thin white porcelin cups. The many facets of white. Characteristics: crisp, cooling, summer scent, dry, perfumy."
Victory, $1.50
"This is a simple and straightforward fragrance which concentrates on fighting fatigue while keeping you alert and motivated to get to the next level. Thyme and sage, lemongrass and light camphor, a bit of rosemary, and the lightest hint of white sharp amber to keep it all knit together without being dulling."
Western Hills, $1.50
"Western Hills is a sweet but daring rendition of that part of Cincinnati. Like the real thing, it's sporty, foody, rich and robust but with a heartbreaking familiarity like what you feel when you go home again. Characteristics: foody, sporty, cutting edge, unisex."
ZOMG Smells:
Meddyglyn (5ml LE, 32mm, full to neck), $13.00
"Honey, cinnamon, golden ginger, and basil."
