Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, almost-October 2017

Posted by Robin on 30 September 2017 277 Comments

We’re celebrating the last day of September with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’re planning to buy in October, whatever. (And don’t forget, Donatella will be dropping by on Tuesday!)

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

The freebiemeet, episode 9

Posted by Robin on 30 September 2017 95 Comments — Comments are closed

viola

The freebiemeet is open! Our rules changed with episode 8; if you have any questions, please post them under The freebiemeet rules. And PLEASE read the instructions, even if you’ve read them before! Really, pretty please, with sugar on top! 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), 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…

Up for grabs: Trudon Coffret

Posted by Robin on 30 September 2017 77 Comments — Comments are closed

What is it: a Cire Trudon Coffret (“Le Coffret contains the five 10ml miniatures of the Trudon perfumes collection), used extensively for testing — I would guess there is about 7 ml left in each bottle? Think of it as a discovery set, maybe.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment telling me either a) your favorite niche brand at the moment, or b) your favorite discovery set or coffret, or c) something else you’ve been dying to post in a comment.

Be sure to use the “Post a comment” box; do not reply to another comment…

Cartier La Panthère Etincelante

I don't love La Panthère, but I would like to have that bottle: "Cartier La Panthère Etincelante, a luxurious black and gold purse spray containing La Panthère Eau de Parfum with a shimmering effect added. This sophisticated product can be slipped into your handbag for a festive night out. A feline-floral scent which is born from the fusion between a radiant and delicate gardenia with sensual musky notes." £57 for 25 ml Eau de Parfum at House of Fraser. (Update: it's also at Neiman Marcus for $70.)

Collection Noire

A (bottle-oriented and Serge-less) video for the reorganized and repackaged Collection Noire from Serge Lutens. (There is some discussion in the review for Dent de Lait, if you missed it.)
