The freebiemeet, episode 13

Posted by Robin on 26 January 2019 183 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!

    1. 2oz bottle vintage Lanvin My Sin splash, 2/3 full. I bought this at an estate sale and I prefer Lanvin Arpege. When I checked it this morning, part of the lining of the cap is sealing the opening of the bottle; it’s easily removed but I’m keeping it this way for shipping. Here’s Angela’s review https://nstperfume.com/2009/06/08/lanvin-my-sin-fragrance-review/

    2. Tauer Eau Epices, over half full, in the sliding tin box. This appears to be discontinued.

    3. CJ Scents Vanilla Almond Spice, 1oz edp, sprayed a few times. CJ offers a “vanilla bar” on her website, where you choose whatever she offers mixed with vanilla. This one is a sweet gourmand, delicious but not quite what I was looking for.

    Shipping will be after Feb 13th. opponatrix at gmail
    Enjoy! ?

    USA only please. None of these have boxes. You can find my email address by clicking on my gravatar.

    Having successfully re-homed a number of bottles, I found I still had quite a few in need of some love and care. As these are rather small, however, I feel that in the interest of their safety and well-being, I should send then out into the world in twos and threes (except for one strong-willed bottle who insists on going it alone):

    1. The Lush Duo: two Lush solid perfumes, (1) Breath of God, and (2) Imogen Rose, 12 g each, mostly full. I only used each one a few times. These are the older, twist-up “deodorant stick” type solids, not the current format. Both of these were purchased new by me from a Lush shop in 2013.

    2. The Osmanthus Duo: (1) Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan, 15 mL EdT spray, mostly full, with drawstring bag; (2) The Different Company Osmanthus 10 mL EdT spray, about 3/5 full. I received both of these in swaps.

    3. The Shiseido Duo: (1) Relaxing Fragrance 15 mL EdT splash, nearly full; (2) Energizing Fragrance 15 mL EdT splash, nearly full. I bought both of these from eBay.

    4. The Cheap and Cheerful Floral Trio: (1) Jovan Modern Flowers 1/8 oz. Essence splash, nearly full, from eBay; (2) Yardley Red Roses ½ oz. Cologne splash, 3/5 full, from eBay; (2) Kuumba Made Pikake Lei 1/8 oz. oil rollerball, full, from a swap.

    5. It’s Lonely at the Top: A Lab on Fire And the World is Yours, 10 mL extrait splash, full, bought new from Lucky Scent. This one insisted on going it alone to conquer the world.

    Here are some samples that need good homes. All are dabber/splash unless otherwise noted. Some are full, some not.

    6. Not Your Typical Mall Perfume: Dasein Winter and Winter Nights; St. Clair Gardener’s Glove, First Cut, and Frost

    7. East or West, Indie is Best: Providence Perfume Company Sedona Sweetgrass, Love-in-a-Mist, and Heart of Darkness; Aftelier Memento Mori and Curious

    8. British Invasion: Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus, Sampaquita, Champaca, Frangipani, Orris Noir (2) all spray vials; Lush Dear John, Tuca Tuca, and Icon; 4160 Tuesdays The Sexiest Scent on the Planet. Ever (IMHO)

    9. DSH Baker’s Dozen: Colorado (limited edition for American Perfumer) spray vial plus 12 other DSH samples.

    10. The Kitchen Sink: Hermes Iris Ukiyoe EdT 4 mL , Alaia EdP spray(2), Ineke Field Notes from Paris (2), 10 Corso Como , Chanel Cuir de Russie EdT spray (2), Shalimar EdP spray, Diptyque l’Ombre dans l’Eau spray (I think it is the EdT; it looks to contain about 4 or 5 mL), Amouage Dia Woman spray, Marc Jacobs Men, Polo Black, Juicy Couture.

    2) Bulgari Eau Parfumee eau The Blanc body lotion. About 20mL of a 30mL bottle left.

    3) Elie Saab 5mL mini, sampled once Le Parfum EDP

    2. Oriza L. Legrand Reve d’Ossian
    3. CB I hate perfume In the Library
    4. Heeley Chypre 21

        Hey ScentfromAbove, it turns out two people called dibs on my #4, one of whom had not posted that she was calling dibs. When she emailed, me, I thought it was you, and sent her the items for #5. Since I never heard from you, I’m thinking you changed your mind. If you did not change your mind, go ahead and still email me, and I will happily send you along samples of the above, but I no longer have the 9 ml sizes. Best OF

    Hello all! This is what I have to offer (CONUS only, but can probably have my arm twisted if you really want something). Emayl at kgoodw2 at hotmail dot com

    1. 1 ounce bottle of Narciso. (a lovely NST’er gifted me this in a past freebie meet, but it didn’t work for me unfortunately. Luckily all the other items she sent did! :) ) Bottle seems pretty full, but bottle is opaque, so I can’t completely tell!
    2. Demeter nature sampler! 10mL each of: Dirt, New Zealand, Thunderstorm! (If you only want one or two of these, that’s fine just let me know!). I will hand decant these from my bottles.
    3. I received a gigantic bottle of super rare 1920s-1930s era Houbigant Idéal for Xmas from my wonderful mother. I will never use it all, so I’d like to part with a few decants of 5mL.

    • FearsMice says:

    I have a box of samples and partial decants from Luckyscent, other stores, splits and my own collection. I will probably add to it before shipping. It’s basically a grab bag, and it should be fun to go through it. Mostly niche. I will only ship to the US. First person to call dibs and email me gets it. Email is melisand61 at gmail.

    1) Two ziplock bags stuffed to the brim with atomizers, dabbers, and vials ranging in size from 0.7ml to 10ml. Almost all of them are empty but there are some that still have a little bit of juice in them. Most can be cleaned and reused.

    Hoping there are a few Canadian fragrance friends out there – or fragrance friends with Canadian transporters :) , even if I am late to the party.

    Shipping to Canada only. I have a few small 10ml bottles, pretty much full, from Etat Libre D’Orange Coffret Prestige – unfortunatrlyvELDO perfumes simply don’t work on me

    1. Vierges et Torerros
    2. Nombril Immense
    3. Secretions Magnifiques
    4. Eloge du Traitre
    5. Antihero

    Also

    6. about 3-5 ml sample of Infusion d’Iris from Prada, Iris doesn’t work on me either.
    7. about 20 ml of Pacifica French Lilac – which I personally find lovely but the man begs to differ.

    CONUS only, to NST regulars, please. I’m cfreeland with quadruple nines in the land of the yahoos.

    1. Two St. Clair samples: Casablanca (somewhat used but now I’ve got a FB) and Gardeners Glove–the linden didn’t work on me.

    2. Two Zoologist samples: a hardly-used Rhinoceros and a somewhat used Camel.
