Okay. I have run into this tangentially a zillion times, now I gotta ask...

What the heck is this BPAL thing?

I mean, I don't even WEAR perfume, but I admit, the copy for the Mr. Jacquel stuff--embalming spices! Who doesn't want to smell like embalming spices!?--makes me twitch.

But it seems like there's more going on from what I've heard then just a perfume company...some kinda subculture or something...
