Andy Tauer of Tauer Perfumes will be hosting an Advent giveaway starting today and continuing through December 24. To participate, click on today's date on the Advent calendar. You'll be taken to a blog post where you'll need to comment to enter for the drawing.

Daily prizes will include samples of Tauer's "experimental, fresh from the lab" Une rose chyprée fragrance, plus daily specials such as samples, discovery sets or full bottles of other perfumes in the line (today, a bottle of L’air du désert marocain is up for grabs).

Andy Tauer of Tauer Perfumes is celebrating his blog's third anniversary by giving away 100 free samples of his upcoming vetiver fragrance:

The sample is a pre-sniff of the upcoming Vetiver from Tauer. The fragrance still has no name. It is a fragrance built around vetiver from Java, with fresh grapefruit, lots of black pepper and green clary notes in the head. Lily of the valley contrasts the dark vetiver and crisp Cedar wood, leading over to a soft ambergris base with hints of Tonka beans and cistus.

To get your free sample (one per person, please!) fill out the form at the Tauer website. Update: The samples are all taken now, sorry!
