Mailing perfume domestically.

Basically what it says on the tin.

I am about to embark on a huge and terrifying purge of my belongings, in part because I need to have less stuff (because reasons), in part because I need to have more money (because related reasons). One of the things I have a startling supply of is BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab) perfume.

Does anyone know, from "I have done it and here's how" experience, how to mail perfume/essential oil within the US? I've found both "it's a hazardous material and you can't" and "it's possible, just hard." Well, I need to know how.

Help?

I probably shouldn't be so bemused by this, but having received both nitric acid and metallic sodium through the mail (the first, at least, through a reputable chemical supplier)... really?

(I've also had computer held up at customs, and wondered whether this was over concerns over the lithium ion batteries. Which, y'know, would be valid concerns, but since you are generally allowed to fly with devices with batteries enough to make some pretty decent explosions...)

Yeah, really. It's weird.
