    Once an order is placed, it is final.

    I emailed the lab first but i really would rather not go through paypal (which i did use) because the only way to request a refund from paypal is pretty much reporting not getting a product or it not being as described. in your case you waited 40 days, so thats different but i just placed my order. =/ if they end up shipping it to me ill just rehome it for what i paid for the bottle + post shipping with no extra fees to someone who wasnt able to order a bottle. Thank you everyone for the help/responses!

    I really have wanted to try antique lace FOREVER but im low on money and destashing since im out of work and knew i shouldnt have bought a bottle but when i saw it wasnt letting me order HG kept saying out of stock i ordered a bottle..then it finally let me order a HG after i panic ordered a bottle..i dont need the bottle, i rarely wear bottles anymore and only really use HG when i do wear bpal these days. Will the lab be willing to cancel my order to the lab? Anyone ever done this? Plus the shipping for both combined is like $14 x_x

    Traveling with BPAL

    Hey all, I am moving in a few days and I am not sure what to do with my BPAL/BPTP collection. I mostly have kept them in boxes or containers in my closet currently but I am moving very little and leaving via plane. So i need to either ship it all via a carrier service or put my collection in my checked luggage. I dont have time to individually wrap all the bottles but i was thinking if i put them in containers like they are now and maybe stuff in paper towels or something to keep them from moving around and then if they are padded by clothes on the outside maybe they will be fine? =/ im worried about how they might toss around luggage bags though..bleh...also on a budget and still need to ship my desktop PC and clothes so cant spend a ton on shipping all my babies.

    International Shipping Info+Questions

    Hey gals!! I have a question and need your wisdom and advice. I have someone who wants to buy some items I have for sale who lives in Italy. I have never shipped internationally before but I know she really wants one of the items so i'm willing to give it a go. Can someone who has shipped internationally before to Italy please tell me about how much it'd cost (how much i should charge shipping wise) and what I need to pack the items in for customs or anything I may need to know cost wise and packaging wise. It'd be very much appreciated! The items I am trying to ship if you need an idea of big a package I might need if that helps is 1 hair gloss + 1 perfume bottle. Edit: Found a food scale to weight items on. Without being bubble wrapped and not including any frimps they come to 5.7oz. I had guesstimated 6oz before i found the scale. So can someone just tell me what to charge to ship to italy for S&H and if i should use different packaging then we do in the U.S (the yellow 6x9 inch bubble wrap envelopes)?

    Finding BPAL blends similar to Dior perfumes....

    I have a decant from Vain Sorceress and never ordered a bottle when it was out because it was so very floral, i don't agree with that either. I do like Dragon's Milk..I know I have an imp of Perversion somewhere i'll have to try out..and dang..Cabareth.Goth is one of those expensive, rare hard to finds like the rest of the goths I bet huh? That is a shame. Ive been interested in the mechanism one, the one that is on the trading post right now as HG but heard it was very woody in scent. Maybe i'd like it, woody just sounded odd to me. is sybil a gc? ill have to look for it and the rest..and the black mamba among others now to test them all out!

    Finding BPAL blends similar to Dior perfumes....

    Ooh! That is still my favorite brand name perfume to date when i want to spritz it all over on my clothes and stuff. Dont suppose you have any bpal recommendations that are similar to hypnotic poison at all? That is my favorite vanilla scent yet.

    Peach VIII

    Oh..my...god..this is heaven in a bottle. I like the smell of peaches and this is just..so freaking gorgeous. I don't know how to even describe other than it smells like sweet peaches topped off with delectable creamy whipped cream. I have a bad feeling this may be my favorite sweet scent yet and that i'll never find another bottle of this bottled perfection. Maybe i'll be able to trade some other LE down the road I have with someone for another one of these sweet, sweet babies. I wish that there were some GC Peach scents like this.

    Like Brooms of Steel

    I don't get anything but dust out of this. Very sneezey dust. I was really hoping for more apple.

    Mother Shub's Squamous Sea Salt Caramel Cookies

    Sadly I didn't get any cookie smell to me. It smelt sort of like..a can of cashews? It smelt very salty/nutty to me. Not sure why it reminds me of eating nuts of some sort, maybe the salt..

    Rags to Royalty Bath Oil

    Sniffed it in the bottle.. Not really sure what it smells like..just very musty/dusty to me. Perhaps that is patchouli? But I don't pick up any honey really or anything else. Sadly the rags to royalty + scrappy damsel combo doesn't smell like what i hoped for. I was hoping for something a bit sweeter and more flowery while at the same time not being overly feminine. Ah well. Probably off to the trade pile with the both of 'em.

    Gingerbread Snake

    This is..to die for. I have blind ordered a whole lot of bottles I need to start trading on here and have not found one yet hoard worthy until I found this. This smells EXACTLY like its name. It is gingerbread snakeoil and it is TO DIE FOR. I really wish I didnt have these other bottles now because I need like enough of this to last me to my death. I already liked snake oil and snakes in the pumpkin patch..but this? This is delicious musky gingerbready snake oily goodness.

    Ooky

    In the bottle..whew..smells like candy corn to me and I hate candy corn. Actually makes my stomach turn a bit at the thought/smell of candy corn. On the skin...much better. I get the marzipan and that sort of red hot cinnamon candyish smell that others have mentioned. I like foodie scents but I don't think this bottle is a keeper for me. I think I will be regifting it to a family member who might appreciate it more or swapping/selling it. Sorry Ooky..I really wanted to love you too. Edit: For typos.

    Hesiod's Phoenix

    My first review I think..i'm not so good at picking up notes yet but I really like this scent. It smells very soft to me and a bit sweet. I don't really pick up a foodie vanilla at all which is a shame because I love vanilla..but i'm more of a fan of musky vanillas anyways. Maybe the sweetness I detect is from the oudh? The only way I can really describe it is soft, light and sweet. I don't think it has much throwing power though because I put a little on the inside of each wrist and can't really smell it unless I bring my wrist up near my face. I will say it has long lasting power though. I put this on last night to test it out and when I put my hand up near my face today and had forgotten about it i got that whiff of soft sweetness and was reminded i had applied the night before.

    Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume

    Try Perversion. When i sampled it for the 1st time, i thought it's Hypnotic Poison reincatnated. Awesome, thanks. Reading reviews here now and it sounds amazing. Might have to fit it into my next order with all the LEs if I can.

    Ravenous

    This is my first review and my nose isn't quite refined yet. Wet in the bottle it smells really strong. Too strong. Dry on my skin it has a very soft smoky orangeish smell to it. It starts to smell a bit like smoky orange powder after awhile.

    How do you apply your BPAL oils?

    I got a wandcap with my first bottle and I love it but i'd prefer a roller. My only concern is that the roller might apply too much. Do those of you who use a roller roll it much or just kind of dab it? It would just be nice to be able to take these scents in a more travel sturdy bottle too. I saw YEARS ago someone said they wished BLAP would eventually have rollers. I guess to this day that hasn't happened.

    Searching for the Perfect Vanilla?

    I read through to up to page ten but most of the talk for the last few pages were more talking about scents for husbands and boyfriends so I decided i'd just reply and see what sort of replies I get. BPAL are my first oil perfumes ever. The only perfume I ever liked before was Hypnotic Poison which I found to be a burnt vanilla that wasn't sickly sweet but rather rich in a sort of baked slightly burnt cookie way. I already have Imps of O, Eclipse, Ravenous, Snake Oil, Mme. Moriarty, Zarita the doll girl, Snow White, Eclipse, and Dorian on the way. I also already purchased a bottle of Hunger. Can anyone give me some other suggestions?
