PS: You've never received an email like this from BPAL before! And here's why.

We're tired of paying untrustworthy social media companies to help us share all the fun and/or meaningful stuff we create that has nothing to do with sales. In the coming weeks, we're going to experiment with reaching out directly via email to share fun, community-oriented bits (such as the weekly link roundup we've been posting on Tumblr for years). 

If you really don't want to see occasional extra content like this, please join our "Product & Event Announcements Only" mailing list, a tier we've created just for you. That way, if you unsubscribe from this list, you won't miss any scintillating perfume releases (which usually occur once or twice a month).

But we encourage you to give us a chance. And in return, we'll give you one less reason to check in on social media. Deal?
