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?

Perfume oil is fine. Perfume, which usually has alcohol content, is a hazardous material. It's both important to distinguish and important to try to avoid having to comment because some postal employees aren't aware of the distinction. BPAL oils do not have alcohol, as I understand it, and so should be fine.
