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, 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.

Non-BPAL, priced as listed, standard imp-sized vial unless marked otherwise.
Arcana:
Hiver (5ml LE, 31mm (full), slight smudge on label), $12.00
"Ruby grapefruit, French cognac absolute, pink pepper, mirabelle plum, honey, and a drop of aged patchouli."
Pax Mundi (LE, 10ml bottle, 32mm w/neck starting at 47mm (7/10 full), aged for nearly 2 years), $12.00
"Smoky frankincense, bay laurel, myrtle pepper, peach nectar, myrrh, balsam of peru, Atlas cedarwood and gentle copaiba."
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.
Cobalt Blends:
Doll Party (5ml, 23mm (5-6 mm shy of shoulder)), $9.50
"Violets and juicy strawberries, with a top note of just-picked orange, and a nice dose of vanilla."
Conjure Oils:
Candy-Filled Apron (5ml LE, 28mm (full to just below shoulder), label oil-stained), $13.00
"Pockets overflowing with chewy fruit and spice gumdrops, sticky hands, puffy marshmallows, candy canes and crisp, freshly laundered cotton."
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."
Red Roan (5m LE, 32mm (full to neck)), $14.00
"Fresh strawberry flecked porridge with maple syrup and adulterated with a splash of white cognac."
Heaven and Earth Essentials:
Blue Tango (5ml, 33mm w/neck starting at 33mm (full to neck)), $14.00
"Blue Raspberry, Fresh Sugar Cane, Attar Rose Musk, and Woodland Themes."
Inagodadavida (5ml, 27mm (9/10 full)), $14.00
"Rich, sweet Honey mixed with Vanilla Sugar, flaky Pastry, Caramel and Nuts, and just a touch of Vanilla Bean. Then HaE sprinkled a light dusting of Cinnamon Bark on top."
Spirit (5ml, full to at least shoulder (tricky to measure w/reducer cap), 6 years old), $14.00
"Toasted Sugar FO, Indi Sandalwood EO, Cardamom EO, ButterCream FO and a shaving of Black Coconut FO."
Possets:
Cornucopia, $1.50
"Pomegranate, ginger, a bit of chrysanthemum, cranberries, a bit of cherry syrup and that is cornucopia."
Corporations, Sex and Money--Delaware, $1.50
"Possets' Delaware smells ultra expensive. It's the aquatic haters' aquatic. Very good for summer with a bamboo-like part and a light refreshing spice playing in the background. Spicy, aquatic."
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 starting at 31mm), $9.00
"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 bottle, 31mm w/neck starting at 31mm), $9.00
"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 bottle, 31mm w/neck starting at 31mm), $9.00
"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!"
Passion (5ml, 33mm), $9.00
"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)), $9.00
"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."
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."

I pride myself on good communication and good results, so please contact me if you have any questions. And I do enjoy giving little extra goodies, tea, soaplets, candies and the like. ^_^ If there's anything in that line you'd rather not get, just let me know.

"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 bottle, 31mm w/neck starting at 31mm), $9.00
"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!"
Passion (5ml, 33mm), $9.00
"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)), $9.00
"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."
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."
