NST giveaway (US only) ~ Roger & Gallet Bois d’Orange

Posted by Robin on 23 June 2009 30 Comments

What is it: a 100 ml bottle of Roger & Gallet Bois d'Orange, from which I have decanted a 4 ml spray sample (I keep the sample, you get the bottle).

Who can win: Any registered reader who has already left at least one comment on the site (see rule #1 below), who lives in the US (see rule #2 below) and who has not won an NST giveaway in the past 6 months.

Update: we have a winner, congrats to Tama!

How to win: If you don't know the rules, please take a moment to read the rules — they're listed below. Then leave a quick comment saying "I live in the US" (it doesn't have to be that exact wording, but must indicate that you do live in the US). Use the "Post a Comment" box (do not reply to another comment). I have used random.org to generate a number between 1 and 15. Once we have 15 comments, I'll identify the winner, and s/he can send their mailing details to robin at nstperfume dot com.

The rules:

  1. Everyone who signs up to comment at Now Smell This has their first comment held for moderation. Comments on giveaway articles are not moderated; if you are leaving your first comment on this site, there is no point in leaving it on this article as it will never show up. There is also no point in quickly leaving another comment somewhere else then coming back to this article to comment, as we don't approve comments that quickly.
  2. If your comment does not say "I live in the US", it will be deleted, sorry!

More fine print:

  1. Don't forget to claim your prize by sending us your mailing details! If you don't send us your address within a few weeks, we'll give your prize away to someone else.
  2. We will try to mail your package within 2 weeks.
  3. We will notify you when we've finally dragged ourselves off to the post office.
  4. Reasonable care will be taken in the packaging and mailing of your prize, but if the contents are lost or damaged or held up by customs or fail to please you for any reason whatsoever, we're terribly sorry but we cannot replace them.
  5. Some people have complained about our method of holding giveaways. Apologies go out to anyone who finds it unfair, but this is the easiest way for us and so this is how we'll continue to do it.
  6. We'll probably add more rules later as we need them.

    Do I want to be the first one? Does it ever actually pick 1?

      Apparently, it does! :) Congrats. And it proves the old saying “you snooze, you lose”…because i drifted off here and woke up just in time to be #3. LOL! Mystery virus + allergies + temps in the 90s w/mucky humidity = accidental napping.

        No no, it’s ok. Right as I hit “post comment”, I thought hmm…does that mess up the counting? Sorry, will wait til it’s done next time.

          thank goodness it wasn’t ME messing up the count for once! Although I appear to be a bad influence

    Sorry I missed the contest because I’d love to try this one as well. It was recommended in my July issue of Real Simple magazine.
