CONUS only and 50+ posts please.

John Varvatos edp 1,6 oz (women's version) Claimed by southerngardens
Burberry The Beat edt 1.7 oz
Tea Rose edt 1 oz

Any takers?


Genie Jeanie,
Is The Beat still available? If so, would you say that the spiced cedar is prominent?
Thanks, Schilling

Hi Schilling!
There are definitely spiced cedar notes, but I get a lot of tea & some citrus as well. Very easy wear & would be great for Spring! Care to give it a go??

I'd love to, thank you! Please look through my meek wardrobe and see if there's anything you'd like to try. I'll PM my address.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

In the mood of Spring Cleaning, and for tomorrow's Vernal Equinox I am going to unload some 10 fragrances that are being often neglected here. Perhaps, they will get more love from you guys.

I have an overload of samples from a sample pass that didn't happen from Facebook Fragrance Friends. I am sending out 3 RAOK sample packs of at about ten samples a piece of unisex, feminine, niche and designer frags to first come, first claimed members. USA Only Please. PM me your name and address! They will be addressed by me, but will be in the names of the donors from FFF! They will probably go out on Thursday.
There will be more later!

Updated, thanks. Consider me a weirdo -- let's give a whirl to the people I have dealt with first. No NEW to me addresses at the point.

Auntie Knit -- Hi, we miss you on our SotD thread and many other contributions. You are perhaps the only one who noticed that "2" in the name: right-O, it is not the original "horny elves dancing in the middle of the woods", it is rather a citrus cologne with slightly unusual raspberry + lavender undertones, fairly fresh and long-lasting, especially for the dog days of summer.

Schilling -- both Woodhue and Jai Ose might do this. Nanette is odd, in the least.

Southerngardens, I just dropped you a PM. I may be too late.

After my budget putting the kbosh on purchasing for most of this year, I'm going nuts on samples. It helps keep me from getting too twitching from not being able to buy.

Twolf, that's so sweet of you. I really need to go through my samples and put together some packs. The guy from Saks in Chicago loaded me up with multiples of each.

Sorry if my offer did not seem for all, I responded to everyone interested in the Spring Equinox giveaway in a PM. Here is the deal: let's hang it like this for the next two to three days so that the people -- whose kindness I am using every day! -- I have had previous dealings with could see what is being offered, and then we will open it for everybody, from what is left over. It seems like a very fair setup to me, non?

Caron samples - all the fountain exclusives in the little Caron cardboard boxes. I've collected them over the years.

Warning: most of the scents have been reformulated, but at least you'll know what all the fuss was about!

They have been kept in a nice, soft, white / pink piped Chanel makeup case; you get that, too.

I'll do my best to make sure they arrive intact. PM if interested.

The giveaway thread in the MFD has rules in place. http://www.basenotes.net/threads/312...29-13/page4Are some needed here now too? If so, do you think the same rules should be effect here or would a different rules be better?

This post from Stu spells out the rules on the other thread:

Offering samples and bottles for free will be allowed here. Let's see if we can do this without asking for sample shipping costs. If someone offers samples and then later receives some, the costs should be a wash. Shipping samples in a small sandwich type baggie and then placing them in a bubble wrap envelope should cost no more than $2.00 U.S. Bottle shipping requests must be for typical shipping costs. Even though the bottles are free please pack them carefully! This should be a fun and conflict free experience. Please do not ask for more than one freebie per month. We do not want "freebie hogs" to ruin the experience for everyone else. Requests are not allowed here, as doing so would be outside the marketplace rules and allowing it would lead to requests from those who do not meet marketplace requirements. Please state to whom you have sent samples. Some reply by PM so no one knows who got them. We want to be able to see if anyone is "hogging" the sample giveaway. Regarding shipping out of one's country- Although some have no problem with this, it is certainly not an obligation. Some must wait on line at an actual post office to do so as opposed to being able to ship domestically from an annex. So let's not disparage those who state CONUS or EU ONLY, for example.

All responses to giveaways should be public so there is no question as to who was first. It may be wise to first post publicly and then follow with a PM with one's address.


Much of what Stu stated was an attempt to avoid having the thread turn into a means of avoid the marketplace requirements for wish lists and the rules about selling decants. I am not sure that's been an issue here.

I don't think these set of rules should apply here. There was a misunderstanding between myself and Lisa and does not warrant imposing these rules here. We worked it out between ourselves.
