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?

Something I've not seen in the comments is that if the postal workers DO ask what's in the box, specify that they're essential oils. When that has happened to me, the only thing they've done is required me to send the box Priority - a few extra dollars, but honestly it's been worth it for both speed and safety.

Awesome, thanks.
