The freebiemeet, episode 10

Posted by Robin on 27 January 2018 196 Comments — Comments are closed

viola

The freebiemeet is open! 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. If you have any questions, please post them here.

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. If you wish to give away items using any rules other than those listed here (to request payment for postage, for example), you are more than welcome to do so any time in one of the scent of the day polls or lazy weekend polls.

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.

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. You are free to specify that you would prefer to give your items to Now Smell This "regulars" only, in which case, you may ask that the person calling dibs link to one or two (no more than two, please) prior articles on Now Smell This on which they have commented in the past six months. If you want to be able to apply a different definition of "regular", please give your items away elsewhere, like in a scent of the day or lazy weekend poll.

5. Please, do not give your items away to anyone who does not have a proper "dibs" comment under your post!

6. 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!

3. Many readers are offended when their packages are not acknowledged, so do send a quick thank you note after you receive your freebies!

    I am Canadian, and can ship to Canadian, US and European NST folks
    I have been recovering from surgery, so not as prepared as I wanted to be, but, I do have some.

    1 Mary Greenwell’s Plum. – a few spritzes gone as I tried to find someone who cared for it. Beautiful box and presentation, but does not work for me.

    2 Lancome Poeme – The dry down makes me weep with joy, but I simply cannot take the notes on my skin.

    Please comment below and email at t f k 3 1 at yahoooodotcaum (remove spaces and obvious spelling attempts to fool spambots)

    27 January 2018 at 11:55 am

    I will ship within the U.S. only. I can be reached at Roses underline 50 atsign yahoo dot com. You can also click on my gravatar to get the address. All except no. 7 were purchased new by me, and I have listed the year of purchase (to the best of my recollection).

    1. Lush Calacas EdT, 30 ml, Full, no box, 2013. This one smells like lime jelly beans to me.

    2. Lush Ponche EdT, 30 ml, Full, no box, 2013. This smells sort of like an alcoholic fruit punch.

    3. Gale Hayman Delicious EdT, 1 oz., 2/3 full no box, 1994. Powerhouse floral, very rich and intense. A little goes a long way with this one.

    4. Chandler Burr The Untitled Series S02E04 (CK Reveal) EdP, 30 ml, Full, no box, 2014

    5. Byredo Bal d’Afrique EdP, 12 ml, 3/5 full, w/box, 2015.

    6. Byredo Gypsy Water huile de parfum, 7.5 ml, 9/10 full, 2016.

    7. Annick Goutal Nuits d’Hadrien EdP, 50 ml, 4/5 full, w/ box, unknown vintage (got it in a swap). Smells to me like sort of a combination of Eau d’Hadrien and Sables—like lemonade made with maple syrup instead of sugar.

    8. DSH Hanukah Cannelle (Holiday no. 9) and Winter White (Holiday no. 4) EdP, 1 dram each, Full, no box, 2011. These are gourmand scents. Hanukah Cannelle is apple/honey/cinnamon, and Winter White has a white chocolate vibe.

    9. Yves Rocher Desir de Nature EdT, 50 ml, 2/3 full, no box, 1990s. Green floral.

    When you email, let me know a few favorite notes, houses, or genres and I’ll try to tailor the grab bag.

    1. Grab bag #1 of samples – mainstream, indie, niche; some carded, some from STC or Luckyscent, most tried only once.

    2. Grab bag #2 – ditto above

    3. Grab bag #3 – ditto above

    Hello fragrant friends!

    Shipping via USPS ground service within the continental US. (I have had perfume packages go missing when shipped across borders.)

    Open to perfume lovers who posted a comment on NST during the last 6 months.

    Please post your dibs then contact me on gmail at tiffaniedarling. Let’s do this!

    1. Ineke Floral Curiosities Sweet William EdP
    15 ml minus a few sprays
    (The cumin overwhelms my nose.)

    2. Le Labo Discovery Set
    5 x 1.5 ml spray vials minus a few sprays each
    Bergamote 22, Rose 31, Santal 33,
    The Noir 29, and Vetiver 46
    (I hope someone who hasn’t explored Le Labo will enjoy them.)

    3. Prada Infusion d’Iris Absolue EdP
    50 ml approximately 95% full
    (I LOVE this scent. It was sent to me by a fabulous NSTer several years ago, but I must let it go, something in it gives me headache. I would like it to have a loving home.)

    4. Prada Infusion d’iris EdP
    30 ml approximately 90% full
    (New-ish bottle, it has a vetiver note I can’t wear that is not in older bottles.)

    Email me at elke dot schmeling at geee maille

    1. Sample Set: Guerlain Petite Robe Noire, Lavande Velours (AA?), AA Rosa Blanca. Got these in a larger set on eBay and those are the scents that didn’t do much for me. 2ml each, with not much missing. Also Bottega Veneta and Hermes Ambre de Merveilles (standard samples, sprayed a few times). Lastly, tiny decant dabber samples from a few years back: Lolita Lempicka edp, Bulgari Black, and Yohji home (that one is 1ml).

    2. Lady Gaga Eau de Gaga Edp, 50 ml, sprayed once. An unsuccessful blind buy.

    Good morning all. I am in the US and will ship to CONUS only. You can reach me at scgrether in the kingdom of the gee male.

    I have five bottles to rehome – all are 50 ml size, and except as noted below were purchased new by me, are mostly full, and are in good condition (they just don’t work on me, sadly).

    1. L’Artisan Seville a l’Aube

    2. Chanel N. 19 Poudré EDP

    3. Prada Infusion d’Iris EDP Absolue

    4. Jacomo Silences, in the parfum de toilette formulation. No idea how full because of the black glass but when sloshed it sounds about half full. I bought this one used – it’s the version with the removable cap and with “Silences” occurring only once on the box.

    5. Bobbi Brown Bobbi’s Party EDP

    Completely disorganized this round and have just about missed the boat! If there are any last minute hopefuls out there…. perhaps you’d like me to send you a package of samples?

    Offering to send to a U.S. address:
    1.) package of mixed samples, floral leaning, including offerings from Diptyque, Nomenclature, Elizabeth and James, and a “salt” themed sample package from STC. I’ll throw in a few more things at last minute, no doubt.

    Please email me at: sllatindia [at] yahoo [dot] com.

    Cheers! Also, thanks for making the swap go round to all participants: senders, recipients and hosts alike, in other words, the entire perfumista/perfumister club!

    Veery last minute, hope someone will grab these!

    1) Mostly full 50 ml of houndstooth Diorissimo EDC (Call me crazy, but I like my circa 2000 sample better. Or the top notes could be damaged—no way for me to know)

    2) Almost full 50 ml Gres Cabaret

    3) Mini of Salvador Dali Laguna

    Hit me up at rebeccahenretta [at] the one that begins with g.
