The splitmeet, episode 12

Posted by Robin on 26 October 2019 123 Comments — Comments are closed

orchid-thirds

The splitmeet (episode 12) 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. Update: in other words, you cannot host a split if you have never commented here before the day the splitmeet opens.

The rules: if you want to host a split

1. Anyone who wants to play can list up to 6 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.

    Happy Splitmeet, all!

    SpringPansy split #1 – Hermes L’Ambre des Merveilles
    This is a gorgeous, warm, yet not heavy amber with a relaxed elegance.

    I’m a longtime member/commenter on NST, live in the U.S. and will ship to U.S. My email address can be found via my screen name above.

    If I can split 25 – 30 mls, I will purchase a 50 ml bottle on Fragrancenet for $72.

    I can make 5 or 10 ml decants in glass, fine mist spray Elfenstall bottles. Cost will be $1.44 per ml plus $5.00 for packaging and shipping:
    1.44 x 5ml plus 5.00 = $12.20 for 5 ml decant
    1.44 x 10ml plus 5.00 = $19.40 for 10 ml decant

    Please note: I don’t do PayPal, but I accept payment via an Amazon or LuckyScent online gift card.

    SpringPansy split #2 – Comme des Garcons Vogue 125

    I think some people found this not weird enough for CdG and would have liked it more if it had been made by someone else – but I just need it to be something I enjoy and I do: it’s a lovely lily/peony with a dash of leather and tobacco (oh, and “instant film accord”).

    I’m a longtime member/commenter on NST, live in the U.S. and will ship to U.S. My email address can be found via my screen name above.

    100 ml bottle on sale at BeautyHabit for $105 with current $10 discount and free shipping = $95 or $0.95/ml.

    I would like to split 50mls of the 100 for this split to go forward. I can make 5 or 10 ml decants in glass, fine mist spray Elfenstall bottles. Cost will be $0.95 per ml plus $5.00 for packaging and shipping.

    0.95 x 5ml plus 5.00 = $9.75 for 5 ml decant
    0.95 x 10ml plus 5.00 = $14.50 for 10 ml decant
    (If you’re participating in another of my splits, the postage will be discounted accordingly.)

    I don’t do PayPal, but I accept payment via an Amazon or LuckyScent online gift card.

    Thanks!

    Calypso Split #1: Memo Paris Lalibela

    I just pulled the trigger and purchased the set of 3 10 ml travel sprays from Bergdorf. You can see them here: https://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/memo-paris-lalibela-travel-spray-refills-3-x-0-3-oz-10-ml-prod110160041?childItemId=BGC1V7A_

    Here is a description of it:
    https://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/memo-paris-lalibela-travel-spray-refills-3-x-0-3-oz-10-ml-prod110160041?childItemId=BGC1V7A_

    When I sampled it, the main notes that struck me were rose, labdanum, and patchouli, all equally.

    The total cost with tax was $129.90, which means each one will cost $43.30 plus $5.00 for shipping = $48.50. (I know it might make more sense to buy the large bottle to split it, but it’s just so much cleaner and easier to have the 3 separate travel sprays and not do the decanting myself. Plus, if you feel like it you can buy one of their gorgeous travel cases! They are $70 and can be viewed on either Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf websites. Neiman Marcus is currently out of stock of this set and Luckyscent doesn’t carry it. I got the last one from Bergdorf’s site.)

    The set is supposed to arrive in 3-5 business days, and I am willing to sell 1 or 2 of the 3 sprays. Con US only please. Payment via Paypal or Amazon gift card.

    I’m cfreeland with quadruple nines in the land where yahoos live.

    Have fun everyone!

      26 October 2019 at 12:17 pm

      Oops, I posted the wrong thing in the section on the description. Here’s the full notes description from Luckyscent: Coconut orchid, rose, jasmine absolute, Indonesian patchouli, rockrose, vanilla, tobacco, frankincense, labdanum resin.

    For 10mls: $4.00 + $3.50 for shipping = $7.50.

    Citrus and rose. This is the Concentre version, which is suppose to be stronger, but still disappears in seconds on me. It’s still a favorite of mine for however long it lasts. Splitting up to 70mls.

    For 10mls: $4.48 + $3.50 for shipping = $7.98.

    Yasmina’s Split #2: Aedes de Venustas travel sprays

    I am looking for one person to go in on a three-way split of AdV travel sprays for either Oeillet Bengale OR Iris Nazerena.

    The 10ml travel spray costs $36.66 and with the shipping etc the final cost would be $40.

    I will make the purchase as soon as this split goes through and ship to you promptly after I receive the set.

    CONUS only and I accept PayPal. Please email me at yasminazsquared in land of the gee male for details.

    • Petunia says:
      26 October 2019 at 3:36 pm

      • Petunia says:
        26 October 2019 at 6:16 pm

        I would do the same! Emailed you. Waiting for your response. TY!

        26 October 2019 at 7:28 pm

        Robin, I had already counted you in on the split after our advance correspondence- you are my ghost second person!

        And Petunia is now the third. So the split is complete.

        I will email you both.

    clarissa split #3 – Hiram Green Voyage (2019). Please note this is the new version of Voyage.
    From their website: Now, four years later, we present an updated version. The warm, smooth amber and vanilla heart remains, but suede has been replaced by lotus flower, India’s national flower. The delicate sweetness of this flower in combination with fresh citrus top notes give Voyage 2019 a lighter and more tropical feel.

    Up to 30 ml available. Bottle with shipping comes to $190 (with currency conversion and shipping). $25 for 5 ml, $44 for 10 ml, including shipping and supplies. PP F&F preferred, but open to Amazon gift card. I can be reached at marianna_r at yahoo. Thanks.

    Before I get myself started, I wanted to check if ‘fine mister’ glass atomizers would be cool with everyone.

    I’m looking into a big one and before I pull any triggers, I want to make sure I don’t get people upset. I’ve done splits on another forum before and it has mostly worked out. Minus the people backing out last minute. I’m sure they had good reason.
    I have a little something for another NSTer, so…I need to go to the p.o. with a package, anyway, so why not host my first split here?

    • AnniePerfumes says:
      26 October 2019 at 7:38 pm

      I’ll reply to myself. The answer is yes, lol.

    Ok. I’m trying to get this together. It might be too late for everyone. If you go on Bergdorf’s, Tom Fords Reserve Collection, I am going to make the dive if there are enough participants. I’ve been working the math so please understand I am try to keep things cost effective. Only 6 bottles are up for grabs, following the rules!

    hajusuuri’s Split No. 1 – Memo Paris Winter Palace

    CONUS only.

    Dibs here, then contact me via email. Click on my name to get my contact info. Please include perfume name and your NST username in the subject line of the email. Also include your zipcode so I can calculate shipping cost.

    I’ll split up to 25 mL from a new 75 mL bottle of Memo Paris Winter Palace which I bought at a 20% discount, partially offset by NYC tax. MMKinPA, Deva, Oakland Fresca and Laura, you do not need to dibs here as I have set aside 5-10 mLs for each of you based on your expression of interest; no worries if you change your mind. I will use plain clear 5 / 10 mL glass atomizers. The cost is as follows:

    5 mL $19.05 + shipping
    10 mL $36.85 + shipping

    A note about shipping – the U.S. Post Office introduced tiered zone pricing for First Class mail in January 2019. For an up to 4 oz. package, Paypal charges commercial pricing anywhere from $2.66 to $3.09. I will let you know how much based on your zipcode. I will combine shipping if you participate in more than 1 of my splits. If you have a pending freebie package, I will not charge you shipping since I was going to send you a package anyway.

    Payment is via PayPal Friends and Family or Amazon Gift Card but please do not pay me yet until I send you an email confirming participation and payment instructions.

    The pre-shipping cost breaks down as follows: $266.41 / 75 mL = $3.56 per mL + glass atomizer $0.50 + new mailing materials $0.75.

    Thanks for participating in my split!

    hajusuuri’s Split No. 2 – Chanel Coromandel Extrait

    CONUS only.

    Dibs here, then contact me via email. Click on my name to get my contact info. Please include perfume name and your NST username in the subject line of the email. Also include your zipcode so I can calculate shipping cost.

    I’ll split up to 8 mLs from a new 15 mL bottle of Chanel Les Exclusifs Coromandel Extrait. Your guess is as good as mine as to how it smells and its longevity. There were no testers at the Chanel boutique and due to FOMO, I got the last one in store on the day I was there. I will use an attar bottle (clear octagonal perfume bottle with plastic applicator and golden cap. Golden cap has red colored bead on top):

    1 mL $18.72 + shipping
    2 mL $36.14 + shipping

    A note about shipping – the U.S. Post Office introduced tiered zone pricing for First Class mail in January 2019. For an up to 4 oz. package, Paypal charges commercial pricing anywhere from $2.66 to $3.09. I will let you know how much based on your zipcode. I will combine shipping if you participate in more than 1 of my splits. If you have a pending freebie package, I will not charge you shipping since I was going to send you a package anyway.

    Payment is via PayPal Friends and Family or Amazon Gift Card but please do not pay me yet until I send you an email confirming participation and payment instructions.

    The pre-shipping cost breaks down as follows: $261.30 / 15 mL = $17.42 per mL + attar bottle $0.55 + new mailing materials $0.75.

    Thanks for participating in my split!

    hajusuuri’s Split No. 3 – Hermessence Travel Spray – Gathering Interest

    U.S. only – Gathering interest. This split may or may not happen depending upon number of people interested and what Hermes has to say about some changes I noticed on the online store versus what may be possible with an in-store purchase. Currently, the online store only has sets of 8 available and it does not allow multiples of the same perfume.

    At this time, there is no limit on the number of spots but once I know the set size, the order in which you dibs will matter as I can only accommodate sets of 8 (or 4 if that is available in-store). I will add a housekeeping comment here and will also reply back to your emails once I find out more from the boutique.

    Click on my name to get my email address. Please call dibs here and include your NST username on the email. When you email me, please include your choice (or an alternate if you have one), your sample request and your zipcode (for me to calculate shipping cost). You need to go to the online boutique to see which Hermessences are available in travel spray format.

    In the meantime, the good news is the cost had not gone up and so the price remains $45.73 for each bottle plus $0.75 for new shipping materials plus exact cost of shipping.

    A note about shipping – the U.S. Post Office introduced tiered zone pricing for First Class mail in January 2019. For an up to 4 oz. package, Paypal charges commercial pricing anywhere from $2.66 to $3.09. I will let you know how much based on your zipcode. I will combine shipping if you participate in more than 1 of my splits. If you have a pending freebie package, I will not charge you shipping since I was going to send you a package anyway.

      Good news and I will post on Lazy Weekend Poll and add a new entry to the Splitmeet.

      The boutiques have the set of 4 available and the price is as I stated on my gathering interest post.

      So far, in order of expression of interest (and inquiry via email):
      Lisa D
      yasmina
      Lovestosmellgood

      If you’re interested, please dibs here and send me an email. I will get up to 3 sets so I will need to have either 4, 8 or 12 interested.

      • Calypso says:

    This only goes through if I get enough participants for each of my splits, due to this being a gigantic split. This perfume and all of the supplies will be purchased if it goes through.
    Bergdorf Goodman has the Tom Ford Reserve Collection.
    8 bottles. I divided and did the math for the six I am splitting. I will allow a little more for others if it goes through.

    All of these are priced the same. If you want my breakdown, feel free to email me. I am not a math student, but I tried my best! Sorry it is late, but here we go.

    AnniePerfumes Splits.
    Here are the details, as best I can offer.
    The Tom Reserve Collection is on Bergdorf’s site. These six I’d like to split are 50ml bottles. I am splitting in glass atomizers, and in amounts of 10ml. I’m leaving 10ml for myself and 10 for possible spilling. I took into consideration the fact that I would only be splitting six bottles and not the eight.

    I will purchase all shipping materials and perfumes if this goes through. This is a blind buy, and I hope it goes through. I’d like to be able to NOT spill and pass a little more around. I just want everyone happy.

    I have an amazing dog, who will not be near perfumes. Just letting people know, in case you are allergic!

    My email:
    Username, lowercase p with perfumes aht gee Male

    Am I forgetting anything?
