Yep, they take pretty much every type of beauty or personal care product packaging that can't go in your curbside bin! I really like that they take mixed materials, like the pumps from lotion bottles. I used to feel so guilty throwing those in the trash.

Tbh, I just wipe any oil residue off with a paper towel and then chuck the cap in the little wastepaper basket I use for whatever beauty product containers our curbside recycling service doesn't accept. When that's full I take it to Sephora and dump it in their recycling bin. This is also where I recycle amber bottles and imp caps (though it's my understanding that the imp vials themselves should get recycled curbside, as they're made of clear glass). Here's Pact's guidelines about what you can recycle in their bins!

@Tungerine I scanned the first few responses; I'd say Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo is a solid recommendation, and still available iirc. For me, it evokes the memory of eating gummy fruit slices during a summer road trip when I was a kid. I also really like Seraphim -- it makes me think of sunlight flooding in through the windows in a Gothic cathedral. I know we all associate cathedrals with shadowy corners and soot-stained stone and leering gargoyles and incense but imagine you're a 13th century peasant and the stone is still new and white and you're standing in the nave during daytime, craning your neck up in awe, squinting at the sunbeams, in the tallest, most brightly-lit building you or anyone you know has ever set foot in. That's Seraphim to me.

@doomsday_disco I'm laughing like an idiot at that first gif I loved this scent! Unfortunately, it caused the same skin reaction that forced me to regift Womb Furie. I'm keeping this one and using it with a scent locket, though, because I think it's so beautiful. I also found that it plays well with Snake Oil so I've added some of that to the locket's felt pad too. I get compliments wearing it! That combo and Snooty Bat are the only two BPAL scents where I've had repeated positive reinforcement from strangers, so I'mma keep on with it till I run out. To each their own -- just sucks that I'm discovering honey scents are some of my favorites and ALSO I'm apparently allergic to them!

Lemon verbena dark chocolate truffle -- creamy, herbaceous, rich, and fresh all at once. Quite nice and might be good for layering with a booze or earth note.

I got a frimp of this in my order today and was SO excited because I've wanted to try it for ages based on the notes! Imagine my disappointment when this turned out to be a high, light, sweet, baby powder kind of smell on me. There's also a slight "itchy" quality to the scent -- not on my skin, but somewhere in my sinuses, I guess. Good thing I didn't pay to try this after all. Ah well -- no harm, no foul.
