I don't quite get BPAL. I know people are obsessed with it, but was is it, exactly?
BPAL is an online company that sells perfumed essential oils (http://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/welcome.html). A lot of people who have allergy problems with regular perfume prefer to wear the oils. It's a fun but expensive hobby, because there's sort of a pokemon "collect them all!" aspect to it. There are all these different "collections" of scents, like there's a set of oils inspired by the poetry of Poe, and there's a collection of stuff inspired by the works of Shakespeare, and the like.
Oh, and I should say, mostly people trade little perfume vial sized samples of the oils, and if you like something, you can order a bigger bottle of it ^_^
