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?

In case nobody said so already, you can get FREE (yeah really) small box mailers from the USPS online website, the very same ones that are used by BPAL to mail the goods to you. You have to register and give your address and whatall but they are free and you can get up to a hundred sent to your address at a time. (I used to be the Shipping Goddess for a bigass bookstore, so I know!) And yes, bubblewrap will be fine and your lovely BPAL should get where it is going perfectly well. Brightest Blessings.
