All of that sounds lovely. Thank you so much for the recs.

And I am completely open to non-BPAL suggestions. I'm starting with them because they're a relatively inexpensive way to try a lot of things at once; I don't think I'm at the point in my perfume exploration where I'm ready to spend much money on something that may or may not work. But I think as I spend time figuring out notes with BPAL and what I like and etc., I'll be ready to make some more risky purchases. :)
