Update: the splitmeet is now closed...
The splitmeet (episode 3) is open for business. PLEASE read the instructions! For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, splitting, there will be a poll along shortly.
Don't know what a bottle split is, or you know but you've never tried it? See here.
Please note that the intention of the splitmeet is to split newly purchased bottles of perfume, not to sell decants of fragrances already in your collection! Anyone can join a split, but only people with current, active reader accounts may host splits.
The next swapmeet is Saturday, March 21. We will do a followup poll for the freebiemeet, splitmeet and swapmeet in April.
The rules: if you want to host a split
1. Anyone who wants to play can list up to 4 bottles they'd like to host a split for.
2. List each perfume in a separate comment. Things to include in your comment: your country of residence, where you're willing to send, the size and price of the decants (include any shipping cost, please!), what container you'll use for the decant (glass, plastic, spray, etc), how many decants you are offering, and what sort of payment you're willing to accept. If you require a certain number of participants in order for the split to go forward, please make that clear, and don't accept payment until you're sure the split will go through! Payment arrangements are up to the participants, but I strongly suggest that you use Paypal.
3. You will have to post your email address in your comment, or have some other way for readers to contact you — one option is to list your email address at gravatar.com, and then link to your gravatar page in your user profile here. Another option would be to link to a contact page at your own blog, or anywhere on the web where people can find a way to reach you.
4. You are more than welcome to provide information about the fragrance you're splitting, including links to reviews or the store where you plan to buy the fragrance.
5. Once the split is closed, the person hosting it should reply to the original comment to indicate that there are no more decants on offer.
6. And obviously, if you're hosting a split, you should package your decants properly and mail them promptly. You might want to read through items 6-10 on our swapping post.
The rules: if you want to join a split
7. Participants may call dibs on a decant from a split by replying to the original comment, then sending an email to the person offering the split.
8. Please do not comment for any reason other than to call dibs on a split. If you have questions about the fragrance or the arrangements, send an email to the host.
9. Please send your payment promptly, or by whatever date agreed upon with the host.
And some general rules
10. We will NOT be responsible (and we won't get involved) if your split doesn't work out in some way, nor will you be allowed to post complaints here, ever.
11. I will leave the comments open until next Saturday, then I'll close the splitmeet.

Byredo 1996 (Robin did a nice review here at NST) – I have an unopened box waiting to be opened, and have 30 ml available. I am doing decants in 10ml frosted glass atomizers. The cost is as follows:
$29 for 10ml
$1.04 for the frosted glass atomizer
$4.00 for packaging and shipping with tracking number
Total: $34.04 for 10ml. If you would like 20ml, it would be packaged in two atomizers, and shipping would be the same price.

Thanks! 🙂

I would like to host a split of a Tauer explorer set (15 mL spray vials). Two bottles are available for shipment in the US only. Please comment here and email me at my username at geemail for payment/address information. I accept Paypal, thanks!!
The cost breakdown:
$44.77 to $58.62 for the perfume (depending on which one you choose, and the website lists the price in Swiss Francs)
$4.00 for packaging and shipping with tracking
~$1.80 for Paypal fee
Total: $50.57 to 64.42 for one perfume. If you would like two perfumes, shipping would be the same price I think. Thanks!
I have 100 ml of Sous le toit de Paris from Atelier Cologne up for grab.
Paypal or amazon gift card in payment and US addresses only.
Bottle purchased earlier this week, box still unopened. (I have a copy of the receipt in my inbox if you want verification.)
With NYC tax, the full bottle came out to be $201.42.
I’ll be splitting it for $1.00 per ml, minimum 10 ml.
Please include $8.00 for shipping, price of glass atomizer and paypal fee to your order. I’ll be shipping via USPS small flat rate priority box unless you request something else, in which case we can work out a new price for shipping and handling.
For example, if you would like 10 ml it’d be $18; 20 ml $28 and so on.
If interested, please email me at yuearcana at geeema!l
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Please count me in for 20 ml
I would love to organize a European split of the travel sets from Aedes de Venustas: Iris Nazarena, Oeillet Bengale and Copal Azur. We need to be three persons buying one 3×1 travel set each. No decanting skills needed :).
Email me at my NST-name at gmail dot com!
HI all,
I have just bought a 50 ml bottle of JHAG Not a Perfume for a bit of a discount. I can ship to the U.S. I will ask for the per ml price I paid, plus shipping/Paypal fees (or I accept checks as well).
I only have 2 dram (7.4 ml) amber-colored screw-top glass vials at the moment. The cost for one of those would be $11.80 + $2.50 + $1.00 (Paypal) = $15.34. If you have a decant bottle that you would prefer I use, you are welcome to send it to me to fill.
Please comment here and then email me – find my email by clicking on my username above. I always try to include some fun samples as well, so be sure to tell me notes you like or other fragrances you are looking to try!
Thanks!
Pleas count me in for one 7.4 bottle. Emailing you shortly
Oops – that should be $15.30. Not sure where I got the four extra cents!
I really want to purchase a bottle of Neela Vermeire’s Mohur Extrait from LuckyScent. I’m not sure if anyone would be interested due to the price, but we’ll see. I can offer three 10 mL splits, and I’d need all three to be claimed in order for the split to go through. Each 10 mL split would be $90 and would include a glass atomizer bottle with cap, priority mail shipping, and PayPal fees. I am in the US and can only send to others in the US. Payment through PayPal only. Leave a reply if you’re interested, and then email me at kehutch at gmail….
Oh I’ve just realized that the extrait is only 50 mL instead of 60 mL like her other perfumes. It would be $105 for each 10 mL split.
I’d like 10 ml. Will email you shortly!
I’d like 10 ml. Emailing now…
