The freebiemeet, episode 5

Posted by Robin on 16 January 2016 194 Comments — Comments are closed

viola

Update: the freebiemeet is now closed, see you next time!

The freebiemeet is open! PLEASE read the instructions! Really, pretty please! There's not even that many of them, and you will save us all so much time and confusion. This is not that hard. Plus, it's free stuff! It's all good, but it's even better if you read the instructions.

For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, giving and getting free stuff, there will be a poll along shortly.

If you have perfume-related items you'd like to give away (as opposed to swap for something else — our next swapmeet will be in March), and if you're reasonably sure you can mail your items within the next month, feel free to list them below in the comments AFTER reading the instructions.

If you see something in the comments that you want, and if you already have a reader account here and have commented at least once (no new accounts today, sorry), you can call dibs AFTER reading the instructions.

I will leave the comments open until next Saturday, then I’ll close the freebiemeet. We'll have a follow-up post in about a month so everyone can tell us how it went.

How it works: giving away perfume

1. You need to tell others where you’re willing to send (only in your country? International?). If you would list that first, it will save other readers time.

2. Anyone who wants to play can list the items they have. Please NUMBER YOUR LIST (up to 15) and group items you'd prefer to keep in one package. In other words, if you want to give away ten samples and want to mail them all to the same person, list that as one numbered item. Please do not include more than 15 numbered items or groups in your list — it really helps to keep the thread easy to read. You can list full bottles, partial bottles, decants, samples, whatever you want, but please specify what they are!

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. Package your items appropriately and mail within the next month. You might want to read through items 7-8 on our swapping post.

How it works: getting perfume

1. If you see an item you want, call "dibs" in the comments. Again, you can only do this if you already have an active reader account — I will not be approving comments for new accounts on this thread. You can claim up to 1 item on any given list (please be specific by using the item number) and no more than 2 items total for this episode. Obviously, you should not call dibs on anything that has already been claimed, so you might want to refresh the page before taking the time to leave a comment. Once you can see that you're the first person to call dibs on something, send an email with your username and mailing details. Please DO NOT ask the other party to email you.

2. Please don't leave comments for any reason other than calling dibs...these threads get long enough as it is!

    Hi all –
    US only. My contact info is in my username above.

    1) elizabethW Sweet Tea Body LOTION- pump bottle, barely used. In box

    2) Lostmarc’h Ael-Mat Body LOTION- pour bottle, 3/4 full, did not come in a box.

    3) Grove New York Signature EDP (orange flower and bay rum), 2 oz spray bottle, 3/4 full, small piece torn off label on front at bottom. In box.

    4) P&S (The Perfume and Skincare Co – Australia) Ginger Milk – 50 ml spray bottle, 3/4 full. In box. I actually love this fragrance, but I just don’t wear it and it’s too good to sit in my closet forever. Someone who loves ginger/winter spices should give this a try.

    Happy Saturday!

    As my username implies, I’m new to perfume collecting, so I don’t have anything really awesome to give away yet.

    I am in the US. But to make up for the lack of awesome samples, I’m willing to ship what I have internationally, as long as the recipient accepts that I can’t guarantee the package will make it through customs.

    #1 – lot of manufacturer samples with cards in the following fragrances:
    Betsy Johnson Too Too
    Michael Kors Very Hollywood
    Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy
    Taylor Swift Wonderstruck
    Arquiste L’Etrog
    and one Sephora store made sample of Elixir des Mervailles

    Hi, I live in the UK and would like to be able to swap within the UK, but most of the posts are for the US ???? I have a few items that I
    would like to swap.

    1. Atelier cologne, various samples, some used.
    2. MFK samples, some used also.
    3. Various mainstream samples, including some ADP.

    4. If anyone is interested I have Hermessence, poivre samarcande, Diptyque, eau duelle and l’ombre dans leau, 15ml travel samples that I am willing to swap. Would be interested in swapping for any masculine Ormonde Jayne, or HistoiresDP , like for like. I am happy to split these into separate items.

    My email is I.whiskin at virginmedia dot com. Let me know if you are interested.

    Sorry for the late post! My parents in law got sick and in the midst of taking care of them I plum forgot!

    Glad I didn’t miss the Freebiemeet entirely, though. CONUS only, please. Email me with my username at outlook dot com.

    1. NIB Jessica Simpson Fancy Love EDP 1.7 oz (50 ml)
    A floral vanilla musk in the spirit of Narciso Rodriguez, but with more emphasis on the white musk. Check out the Fragrantica bargain fragrance review for more info.

    2. Madonna Truth or Dare EDP 2.5 oz (75 ml) 95%
    BWF, only for Gardenia lovers. Check out the NST and BdJ reviews for more info.

    3. Givenchy Amarige EDT 1.7 oz (50 ml) 80% 1996 formulation
    A huge distinctive peachy BWF that was immensely popular and quickly became hated due to its huge sillage and longevity combined with people who didn’t know to go easy on the sprayer. Try with caution!!!

    4. Decants for perfume education:
    – Guerlain Shalimar EDT (oriental)

      Dibs on #4! (I know this is the third time I’ve called dibs, but one of them was already taken–I hope that’s OK).

      If I’m not too late dibs on #6 I love Demeter Snow and would love to try Auric Blends Love . Black Opium from them is a pretty good duplicate for vintage YSL Opium. Thanks!
