The TAT for this product has hovered around 2 week-4 weeks since I began purchasing a year ago. The days of a two month turnaround seem to be long gone.

To be honest, I went through an OMGILUVU!!! phase with BPAL that I am glad is over. Some of the perfumes are wonderful, and yes, the selection is amazing. What's not so amazing is the overpriced...

It took me a long time to be won over by BPAL. I loved the website but was let down by too many samples I tried. While it is still true that I have more misses than hits, this is true of every...

BPAL makes beautiful perfume oils that are unlike any others. I really don't see why so many people are complaining about how the smell of the oil didn't match the description exactly. The...

You know what's great about BPAL? The descriptions on the website. You know what's not? Nearly everything else. I stopped ordering from them over 2 years ago after poor customer service, price...

I regularly use and enjoy several BPAL oils, including Snake Oil, Sin and Perversion. The perfumer seems to have a gift for orientals, and I feel that the very best offerings are in this...

EDITED 10/2011: My original review was much more favorable to BPAL and a bit defensive because I was fairly new to the company and very enamored of it. Five years into my experience with them (and...

I love the unique oils from BPAL. Be warned though (and do the research on the forums for suggestions), these aren't the same old cookie-cutter, alcoholic perfumes you might be used to. They're...

I sampled a bunch of these a while back. I honestly can't remember which ones I tried (I'm sure Snake Oil was among them), but I gravitate towards spicy/sweet gourmand smells. The entire sample...

So much to my chagrin, the day after I posted an unhappy review, I received my package. It had freebies in it. It's going to take me a while to get through them all, but I cannot figure out how to...
