These arrived yesterday, IIRC! Entirely safe, unpacked perfectly, everything survived the trip beautifully well. It's such an eclectic selection and absolutely delightful—I'm sure some won't work at all but will be fun experiments, and some I have super high hopes for. Most especially Soceraphobia, which I never new existed and which is 200% up my alley, skin chemistry willing (& tbh if it's not I'll probably use it on hair/clothes). Also particularly looking forward to Sin, Pussy, The Phoenix Having Burst Her Shell, The Two Old Men (which will probably be too masculine on me but which may be a pleasant surprise), Horse Chestnut Honey, and The Witch's Repast which looks strange but compelling.

I'd forgotten the secondary BPAL anticipation which is to let the oils settle after shipping, so this is doing its job twice over & I look forward to digging into everything.

Again—and I hope this comes across as sincere rather than cloying or repetitive, but—thank you; reaching out with this was incredibly kind, and right now I'll take every damn thing that may help at all, and this has helped. Hopefully it's a kindness I can pay forward when I'm in the position to do so.
