Aww! It’s ok ☺ someone already claimed
No, congrats, you scored it! Your post showing interest was before mine! I have a vintage bottle of shalimar that says parfum de toilette on it, i hope you like yours too!

Thanks so much trilby! Incredibly generous. We all appreciate it!

This may be a bit anticlimactic after @Trilby Lark 's incredible giveaway, but I'm inspired to pass on some of the accumulated samples that are sadly evaporating away on me - I just moved and keep discovering little caches in boxes here and there.

I'm happy to post to Ireland, UK, EU or anywhere in the world really (8-10 samples go for letter postage rates), but can't guarantee they'll get there (restrictions etc).

There's a huge mixture, and I'd like to send them in batches of around 8-10 at a time. I'll start by sending out batches to whoever posts here while they're still available - feel free to put down what kind of scents you're interested in but I can't guarantee specific contents. Also, they are not all full samples, but should be enough to get a whiff of something new!


PS:
If you are so inclined, feel free to make a small donation to a charity of your choice when you get the samples (this is NOT a condition - only if you want to)

I have a little perfume charity effort which I did a few years ago, which raised over €1000 thanks to generous BNers and helped me declutter a lot of decants
Smell Good for Good - perfume mixtapes

I am thinking of reviving it later this year, so this freebie giveaway will hopefully get me back in practice!

There's a huge mixture, and I'd like to send them in batches of around 8-10 at a time. I'll start by sending out batches to the first 3 interested who post here - feel free to put down what kind of scents you're interested in but I can't guarantee specific contents.

Duh! I really am starting to feel my age!

I don't know if those who liked this post want samples? Can you let me know?

Buoyed along by a mixture of enthusiasm and laziness, I spent a while this afternoon starting to sort out samples (and avoiding all the stuff I should be doing).

I'm tagging any in my wardrobe with 'giveaway' if they're up for grabs - don't know if others can see tags, but if so, feel free to ask for the ones you'd like. I'll send up to 5 requested plus 3 or more 'lucky dip' so I actually do get rid of as many as possible...

Please reply to post saying you want in and mentioning any specific samples you'd like, and I'll PM you for your details.

I was just liking your post, and in particular the mixtape/donation idea, which I hadn’t seen before. Great idea to use your fragrant inventory for good.

As you posted, the typical “rule” on these threads is to post your claim in the thread first (to make it clear who was first) and then PM.



Edit: I don't think others can see your tags, unless someone knows a trick that I don't.

If this is open to folks in the US (and totally understand if that's not the case), I'd be very interested in sampling any masculine or unisex leaning fragrances. Thanks for such a kind offer either way!

Let’s put it this way: If you declare them as perfumes, or if customs examines the package and discovers they’re perfumes, they’ll never get out of the UK.

Or even Ireland! Oddly enough I seem to have memory lapses whenever I post them and fill in whatever comes to mind on form....

I’ve never had an issue sending fragile glass collectibles that are well protected in many, many layers of opaque bubble wrap and tape.
