Just Some Ramblings

I've been reselling BPAL since 2009, and until recently I didn't realize that how I was storing the BPAL was affecting it. I've heard from one person who reiterated that the bottle they purchased didn't smell right. Only one. I will never be a perfumer. I have asthma & allergies, and my nose is constantly slightly stuffy because of those facts. But I am a Taurus and love luxurious items to take care of myself and my body. However I don't have the money for it. So I have recently looked into perfumery, and creating my own homemade bath salts, scrubs, and lotions.

I finished reading "Perfume: The Art and Craft of Fragrance" by Karen Gilbert (ISBN: 9781782490449). I think a friend gave me the book. It definitely reiterated what actual perfumers and aromatherapy persons will reiterate. One: That the oils/scents put into the creations are sensitive to heat, light, and the fluctuations of the place where the oils/scents are being stored. Two: That it's better to store original oils and finished products by scent family.

So unfortunately I will be discarding the rest of my BPAL. I wish I had a lot of female friends and family around me, but I don't. Otherwise I would have had a party or get-together and passed out the BPAL among them. I believe I have enough containers to empty out the bottles, recycle the glass, and take a container or two of the liquid to Hazardous Waste for my community.

I live in South Florida. It's hot here during the summer. Sometimes the AC can't even keep up with us keeping our house at 78*F, and goes up to 80*F. Also, I stupidly put the BPAL in bags & plastic boxes, and kept them according to year. The Pumpkin scents definitely overwhelmed a lot of the other scents. To those who were actually happy with your purchases, that's great. To those who weren't, my sincerest apologies. I truly wish I'd read more about perfumes sooner, preferably before being given them by a friend and starting to resell them. I don't know for sure what I'm going to do for money yet, since I'm also Diabetic, have PCOS, and an under-working thyroid, which is genetic.

I just wanted to let you all know, especially the moderators why I'm taking my list down soon, and why I will no longer be selling such an obsessive scented item. I still plan on reading "Essence & Alchemy: A Natural History of Perfume" by Mandy Aftel, and "Fragrant: The Secret Life of Scent" by Mandy Aftel. I hope that the sellers and buyers on here do understand what you're getting into by buying BPAL from re-sellers who aren't licensed. I didn't and I regret it. Enjoy what's left of your summer.

Sincerely,
Amy Elizabeth
