The day you’ve been waiting for – welcome to the first (possibly semi-regular, depending on how it goes) Perfume Posse Swapmania!
Today you are invited to list, in comments, your bottles of perfume, partial bottles, minis, and samples. For everyone’s sanity, I think it would be better to list items in separate comments if you’re offering more than one item (sample sets are one item). Otherwise the threads can get confusing.
Please include:
- a brief description of the item you’re offering – such as oz/ml size, concentration (EdT, EdP), and any other info you think might be of interest (vintage/partial/used/boxed…)
- the country you live in (so people can take that into consideration for customs and shipping expense) and
- whether you are open to receiving NON-PERFUME ITEMS in exchange (see #4 below) or whether you really would prefer only other perfume items.
- You can also say if you are looking for a particular bottle of something(s) –hope springs eternal!
What can people offer to swap in exchange for your perfumes? Other bottles/partials/minis/samples etc., or things – see #4 below. When offering for a swap item, please say what country you’re from so they can take that into consideration
This will work best if everyone keeps an open mind – let us practice and presume honesty, good intentions, and respect. UPDATE — Folks, let’s see some horsetrading! Don’t be shy!
Double update: re MUA info: folks, a LOT of people on here are new or do NOT have MUA access/accounts. If it’s not too much trouble, PLEASE copy your wishlist/swaplist into a comment here. That’s what it’s here for, do NOT worry if it’s long. Thanks!
PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT:
1) Caveat swapper. This is NOT the place to list your bell jar of Iris Silver Mist in exchange for some vintage Joy extrait. The bottles you list here should be things that, if they’re broken, damaged, consumed by drunken trolls or confiscated by the postal service, you’ll shrug and move on with no massive hard feelings.
2) Newbies: it is generally illegal to ship fragrance through the US Postal Service (Update: unless you specify parcel post and meet their packing requirements.) Just pointing that out (we do it anyway). Wrap tight and seal, word your description carefully on customs forms (I go with “cosmetics”), and consider spending that extra 75 cents for tracking/delivery confirmation on your USPS packages. Buying insurance is largely pointless because – hey, you aren’t supposed to be shipping perfume, remember? They won’t pay up, and the scents you’re shipping for this swap shouldn’t be worth insuring.
3) I will NOT be mediating disputes. I am neither King Solomon nor your mother. Again, caveat swapper. Ages ago on the Posse, I sent out bottles to random commenters who wanted them and I said, send me back anything you want. I got some extremely cool stuff – vintage jewelry, a bottle of First which proved JCE(!!) used to make some dense perfume, stationery, vintage hankies, and, from a couple of presumably well-intentioned people, I got … nothing. It is possible that you might get nothing too. I’ve lost maybe three perfume packages in the USPS in the last five years, either confiscated or stolen. All things considered, not so bad.
4) You can offer NON-PERFUME items in exchange for a listed scent – candles, costume jewelry, stationery, something from your Etsy site, whatever. To me that makes it more interesting; you’d be amazed at what you might get back. Exercise caution when swapping cosmetics/foodstuffs with strangers. I ate all the chocolate and coffee and tea you guys sent me and I lived. Remember: oakmoss kills.
5) This part I thought through for days; here it is. This swap will work best, I think, if there’s a certain steady, organic flow to it — who knows how often people will get online to respond, etc.? I’m looking at this as part social experiment. So: you may fairly offer out a single item to multiple people simultaneously. One possible scenario: I scan the list of swap items and offer my bottle of YSL Paris to three different people. Two of those people say yes (yeah, yeah, in my dreams). I pick one of them, confirm our swap by exchanging contact info, and tell the other “sorry, I went with a different swap.” This part will be the trickiest, I think, but if everyone has to wait for a polite “no” on each item before re-offering it, it’s going to take forever. Again, I ask everyone to observe the Golden Rule, and proceed with (and presume) Good Intentions and Mutual Respect.
Your swap is not complete until both parties have agreed to it and exchanged contact info. Then go back to your original posting and mark your item as TAKEN so people don’t keep offering you things.
Once both parties have agreed and exchanged info, I will consider it poor form to back out of your swap (because you changed your mind or saw something better.) If you have bad swap karma your bottles evaporate faster, and everything you buy will turn into Pink Sugar.
6) You will be responsible for arranging a way to exchange contact info – through a live link to your blog in comments, through sharing your username at FaceBook, POL, MUA, eBay, LiveJournal, etc. I caution against typing your email addresses in comments. If you must, spell it out thusly: “jane doe at gmail dot com” which is supposed to defeat the spambots.
7) In December I will invite everyone to comment about what they got, how the swap went, whether it was fun, and if we should do it again.
Okay. Get out there and have fun, kids! I plan to leave this up through the weekend. I have never done this before and will try to address problems/issues if they arise. Let’s keep our sense of humor, okay? My swaps are in comments already.

YSL Paris EDT, 75ml, non-vintage, boxed and sealed in cellophane, perfect for your Aunt Edna. Smell the iconic rose by Sophia Grojsman that helped launch a thousand office fragrance bans. (I still have two spare bottles, don’t worry.)
I live in the US. I prefer to swap for fragrance. I will consider anything, but am especially looking for bottles (used is fine) of: Hanae Mori Magical Moon, YSL Cinema EdP, Kenzo Jungle Elephant (woman), or new Jolie Madame.

How sweet of you! I have swapped for the Magical Moon. If I can think of anything else from Duty Free I will email you!
CB I Hate Perfume #359, Wildflower Honey accord, 15ml absolute, full, boxed, prepared by CB himself after I sent the first bottle back because after 72 hours of bliss I am apparently anosmic to it. I am assured by numerous horrified folks that it does, indeed, smell quite potently of beeswax and honey.

Sorry about that. FWIW it went to someone who really, really wanted it, I mean specifically and not as a “okay I’ll take it off your hands” thing.
And FWIW I would not have minded at all if you’d emailed me, as I’m comfortable saying “no” or “let’s swap.” But some people hate that … we should do this in a post.
Guy Laroche vintage Fidji in presentation box, .6oz (that’s POINT six) EdP, pretty faux-Lalique frosted square bottle, stoppered and capped, with separate atomizer attachment still in box, appears unused. Top notes are a bit off, bottom is stunning, not my thang.

Hey, Elizabeth! I’ve got a nearly full 30 ml bottle of Jolie Madame (new) and I’d be curious about the CB Beach scent. I’ll double-check the size of the bottle when I get home but I’ve rarely used it…lasts about 10 minutes on me.
I’m on MUA or you can email me at mrsmurray@hotmail dot com. thanks!

hey suzanne, I’ll swap for JM if March doesn’t want it – I guess it comes down to which scent you want to swap for. If you don’t care, give it to March, since she was first. :-) Send me your MUA name, too. :-)

Miller Harris CitronCitron (perfume and body oil) 100ml bottles ea 50% full (no box)

I have a 1 fl. oz spray bottle (no top) of Jean Desprez Bal a Versailles edc. It is more than 3/4 full, white glass bottle. Bought 2 on Ebay, supposed to be vintage. It is POWERFUL for an edc, so I believe the vintage part. I have a lot of BaV in various formulations and this is “skanky” so be sure that is what you want to be wearing.
I live in the US and do not want to do Canadian or international swapping. I’d like to swap for fragrance/incense/nice soap that is not made with olive oil. I have almost everything (seriously), and hate musk, fruity stuff, ozonics, big florals, fougeres, rose, tobacco, all gourmands. A small decant of something is fine, as long as it is not a roll on, so feel free to make suggestions. Contact ennuinmc at yahoo dot com.

Champs Elysees extrait de parfum, tester sprayer 30 ml, used twice. 80ties of 90ties.
Juliette has a gun Lady Vengeance edp 100 ml, used once
A.Maze by potl, edt 90 ml, used five times
I live in Europe, preferably swapping there. Would love to swap Nahema/Champs Elysees for similar l’Heure bleu, Vol de Nuit or (vintage) Samsara. If something like that comes up I can throw something extra in the mix (see above).
Open to alternatives. Love oakmoss, chypres, vintage. Don’t mind if it’s splash instead of sprayer.

Also I am a nail polish junkie…I could pass on a few? Or if you like to sew I have a good stash of vintage buttons?
Sorry if I am naming off random things but I’m not sure what I have that you’d like! It’s ok for you to not want any of it – a sample alone would be more than generous. :)

Hi Musette,
I am interested in this – I have a weakness for ambers and I don’t know this one. I don’t have a tone of things to swap (and I suspect you have everything!), but I do have some vintage splash bottles of Chanel No. 5 and Diorissimo I’ll never use up, if I can offer you a decant of either one. Also can do decants of Creative Universe Mare, Ralph Lauren Turquoise (sharp citrus rose), perhaps a sample of Amouage Opus I? I have a lot of Amouage samples I can swap too. Let me know!

I’m happy to send internationally, so long as you don’t mind my sending it the cheapest (i.e. slowest) way possible! I might be interested in your Profumi di Firenze decant; otherwise I tend to like smoke/incense/leather/green/citrus scents. You can e-mail me through MUA as Zanfirico, or post here and I’ll check back.

Vintage YSL Paris EdT, 30 ml/1 oz, in original black-and-pink box, around 92% full. Bought it new and sealed in its original cellophane on eBay totally blind; came to discover that it’s…not for me. I mean, it’s great! And strong! Oh Lord, so strong. And…powdery. And sweet. And rosy. Jesus H, is it rosy. Did I mention strong? Anyway, not to my taste. But lovely! I’d estimate it to be from around the mid-’80s, late ’80s at most, judging from its packaging materials (typography, fonts, box – I have a graphic design background, and a hunch). I know there are loads of Paris fans out there and I’d love to see it end up with someone who will appreciate it, in all its vintage glory (STRONG! AGGHH!).
In exchange, I’d like anything oriental, musky, woody, spicy, vetiver-rich, or patchouli-heavy. No really, anything. Try me. (Okay, if you insist: Opium eau de parfum, or vintage eau de toilette? But I’ll accept anything! Really! Just take this damn rosy powder bomb off my hands!)
I live in Canada, Ontario to be specific, and would prefer perfume items for swapping.

Annelie Reply:

I wouldn´t mind a swap. :)
Peche Permis is both kind of spicy and chypre, nothing wrong with the scent and I think it has been properly stored and in really good shape for a fragrance probably more then 50 years old.
I have searched information about it online, but without success. The only thing I found was a sale of an empty mini bottle.
Mail me at canyffakhan at hotmail dot com if you´re interested.

I live in Germany and would be generally open to swapping for perfume, nail polish or unused cosmetics, or other interesting items.
I´ve got a Big ol’ vintage bottle of Peche Permis from Coryse Salome. Launched 1958 and I think my bottle is from about that time. I know nothing about it. It´s 4½ oz. bottle of eau de cologne with strong, chypre-like scent, nithing wrong with it as far as I know, but there is some smll fall outs in the juice. Would be lovely for anyone likening vintage, strong, androgynus thype of scents.
Prefer swapping within Europe but if you have something really interesting to offer I might consider swapping with outside Europe. For this I bottle I want some other fragrance, size isn´t that important. I love gourmand, ambery and semi-sweet scents. Dreaming about: Keiko Mecheri´s Loukhoum, Parfumerie Generale´s Aomassai or Lounges Profanes, Ormonde Women, Etat libre d’Orange Like This or D’Orsay´s Tilleul. (as little as 20-30 ml would do fine!)
But try me with anything comfy, golden, ambery, sweet, woody, oriental and I´ll probably be interested!

I would gladly send you some candy, dear lady, but I am housebound at the moment, and the post office will not do at home pick up international mail.
Someone should send you some candy necklaces, Necco wafers, Jolly Ranchers and Abba Zabbas!
If no one does, I will eventually!
And a spray decant of Icelandic artist Andrea Maack´s perfume Craft.
Interesting and modern, citrus, ice cold metal, patchouli and very different. A must try scent if you´re looking for anything different and odd, still very comfy and wearable.
You can chose 5 or 10 ml decant of this, but it´ll come in plastic atomizers since I´m out of glass one´s.
Swap for any other interesting and not so easy to get decants, for instant some brand only available in USA or would do fine. Perfume oils is also cool, and some lovely scented candles maybe??? Test me.
Will swap outside Europe for decants and the sample set above.

I have a 30ml EDP of Vanille Intense – PdN. Pretty much full, sprayed a few times. I bought it unsniffed about it 2 yrs ago, but it just doesn’t work for me.

Hi Moochebo,
I am interested in this – only have a few things I can swap but see if any of these float your boat:
I have a vintage Diorissimo, good condition (top notes slightly off, bottle was well sealed) from which I can give you a decant.
Also a vintage Chanel No. 5 – even more off on the top notes, bottle had been opened, but a drydown to die for.
I also can do a decant of some Tocade, which I think you might like, being a fellow vanilla lover, but let me know.
(I also have bunches of samples that need a new home…)

It’s not illegal to ship fragrances through the USPS. It’s an ORM-D consumer commodity. If you look up
http://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/601.htm#wp1064962
you’ll see that as long as you declare it as ORM-D, use parcel post so that it goes by ground transportation, and it’s less than some ridiculous amt (I believe it was a gallon), it’s fine. It’s perfectly okay to ship. They also have things as to how they want it packaged. It has to be wrapped in something that will absorb the liquid of it is damaged and then put in a plastic bag. Or at leas that’s what one clerk told me. Anyway, we have real postal fanatics here, and I ship fine with this declaration. There is one clerk at one post office who just refuses. I don’t go there. If I had to go there, I would print out the above pages, take it and be prepared to argue the matter with his supervisor on the telephone.
Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know it’s not illegal and you don’t have to lie about anything.

Yeah, it’s not supposed to go air. I can only imagine what postal clerks are like in DC. I think of that one officious, arrogant, authoritarian clerk we have in the one office here and…..well, let’s just say that when I think of TSA agents, I can only imagine having to have someone like this jerk doing a pat-down. No thanks. If your clerks are just shrugging rather than acting like that guy, it still might be possible but yeah….and at certain point, a person just gives up trying to reason with them.
You have to be prepared to bring in their own documentation and have the time/willingness to argue it, even it up the ladder of authority, if you have to do so. The clerks who refuse it going by ground are Just Wrong. I consider it an affront to our “pursuit of happiness”, so that’s why I researched it and insisted on it. That, and I hate to lie. I don’t do it well at all.
Debbie R. Reply:
November 24th, 2010 at 8:58 am
Also, March and anyone else interested, if the clerk gives the refusal, I think the next time I went in, I’d just ask to speak to the supervisor immediately about Regulation 601 and ORM-D materials. Why waste time with someone who doesn’t know their own regulations in detail.

I want to mention that Parcel Post is the class of mail that people use to send their HEAVIEST parcels. I don’t recommend sending fragile items Parcel Post. Not unless you want them shipped in huge cages along with books and BOXES of books!!
To swap (separately or not, although I would like to keep the grouped small samples together):
One 50ml bottle of Jolie Madame eau de toilette. Possibly an early 90′s bottle – I’m not positive. Mostly full.
5ml itty bitty cute bottle of Bulgari Black. Dabbed on a few times, mostly full.
The Different Company sample set – cute 2ml tiny glass bottles of Sel de Vetiver, Osmanthus, Sublime Balkiss, and Bois d’Iris.
Anick Goutal samples – one 5ml (I think) roll on of Neroli (mostly full), one 2ml Mandragore, two 2ml Vanille Exquise, and 2ml Neroli, all full.
And more I don’t want to type out – 20 1 ml, 1.5ml (most are this size), and 2ml assorted samples, almost all full and never tried. Highlights include a couple CB I Hate Perfumes, Diptyque Oyedo, Breath of God, CdG synthetic series, and Yohji Yamamoto Homme.
I am in NYC and would only like to swap with people in the US (sorry). I prefer perfume but am also in the market for vintage clothing, sewing patterns, or a used down sleeping bag! My perfume tastes veer toward sweaty cowboy underwear…smoky, birch tar, creosote, tobacco, skank. Mmm yum. ELO Rien and that Andy Tauer incense-y desert one (or whatever it’s called) are also on my want list, although I’m not holding my breath.
Contact me at cascadiavia at gmail dot com.
Thanks for doing this, it’s a great idea.

Andy Tauer, Carillon Pour une Ange, 15 ml bottle with original box. 98% full. Sprayed three times.
I live in the U.S. and won’t swap internationally, sorry! I would love to find a small bottle or sizable decant of any of the following, but I’m open to other perfume offers as well. No non-perfume offers. Vanille Galante, LesNez Manoumalia, Serge Lutens Vetiver Oriental or Muscs Koublai Khan, Juliette Has a Gun Citizen Queen, Guerlain Arsene Lupin Dandy, Majmua Attar, Sonoma Scent Studio Tabac Aurea, and others.
I also have tons of 1ml samples (recent, mostly niche stuff) that I’d be happy to swap with someone else who has tons of 1ml niche samples that they don’t need. Purely random swap of, say, 25 samples. Comment if you’re interested, and I can give you an idea of what I’ve got.

Victoria’s Secret
Wish Pink, Hope Pink, LIve Pink 1 ML carded samples, no cards though
Two 7.5 ML Body by VS sprays, no caps, on has been sprayed like twice
Pink by VS, 7.5 ML, half empty
Carded Samples 1.5 ML or so
Bvlgari Omnia edp half empty
True Religion edp half empty
Theirry Mugler Alienedp two thirds empty
Armani Code edp half empty
Non perfume stuff
.5 oz of ginger peach loose leaf tea
assorted chocolates, about 10 pieces random selection of godiva and giradelli
Also willing to throw in a crocheted cap, scarf or dishrags if you give me time to make them and aren’t too picky re: colors.
So as you can see a pretty random assortment of stuff. Make me an offer – I’d love a partial bottle of something or collection of samples, I am a perfume noob, so I’m sure I’m interested in most anything but ambers.
Ideally, something jasmine, white floral, lilac, iris, oriental.
Prefer to swap us, but willing to consider others for something cool. Won’t have a chance to ship until Dec 1st, later if you want something crocheted.

Hi Marsi, I don’t know if this is allowed, but if donanicola isn’t interested in your Cuir de Russie, I certainly AM. I have a pretty large collection, and as I’m mentally spinning through what I’d be willing to get rid of for the CdR edt, I can think of a couple things: my partial bottle of Shiseido’s Feminite du Bois (original 90s formula; maroon, curvy bottle; 1.7oz; I’d have to go home and see how much is left–probably half). I think it might make up in rarity what it lacks in size in comparison to your 100 ml bottles, but only if you want it, of course!
2) Vivienne Westwood Libertine edt, 1.7 oz, more than half left (again, I’ll have to go home and look to be sure)
Or make a suggestion on the type of things you’re looking for, and I’d be happy to chat. 3)Original Gianni Versace parfum (in the angular bottle; the parfum version of this formulation pictured on nell butler website: http://www.nellbutler.com/GIANNI_VERSACE_W.html; this is nearly full, .25 oz)
Thanks!

Alfred Sung Sha (yep) 100 ml bottle about 75 ml left.
Caron Bellodgia EdP 50 ml bottle, about 40 ml left
ORIGINAL L’Occitane Ambre 50 ml bottle, about 15 ml left
Guerlain Vetiver pour Homme 75 ml bottle, about 1/2 full
Chanel Gardenia decant – approx 1 ounce in strange plastic spray bottle
I have the boxes for most of these bottles.
I’m in the US. I’d rather only ship/swap in the US, but for something really good I’d be flexible. Loves me some big honkin’ white flowers, amber, smoke. No violets (for the love of god, NO VIOLETS!).

Style Spy,
I’m a big white florals girl myself, and need to replenish my Chanel Gardenia supply. Would you be interested in any of the following decants: Isabey Gardenia (5ml), PG Tubereuse Couture (10 ml), PG Gardenia Grand Soir (5ml), PG Ilang Ivohibe (5ml)? All have been sprayed to test drive, but are close to full. If none of these sound enticing, I may have some other stuff you might like.

Fantastic. Other than the PG Tubey Couture (I already have some), I’m game for any of that, or whatever else. Send me whatever you think someone who adores big honkin’ white flowers would love. E-mail me at shine at austin dot rr dot com & we’ll do details.

Hey there Style Spy, cheating a little and offering you hmm, looks like about 4 ml of Michael Storer’s huge gardenia scent, Stephanie, in exchange for a samp of that incensey-tea Cartier you offered to the Kamali Incense swapper above. Or something else along those lines. I believe my decant is of the original parfum. The EDP is described as “realistic” and “not for the faint of heart.” I love it on the card and in the bottle but it dies on my skin. What do you think?
Le Prince Jardinier Labyrinthe Libertin, 100ml bottle edt 95% full, with box. Green-herbal cologne-type thing with more herbs and a lot less citrus than standard, very refreshing, composed by Pierre Bourdon. I have finally embraced the fact that I Just Don’t Like Cologne.
I live in the US and have a paranoid USPO, so would rather not attempt to ship anything out of the country. Will consider nonperfume items. Love rose, violet, white florals, vintage, floral chypres, spices, woods. Am picky about amber, tend to avoid patchouli, gourmands and lavender.

Hey, Mals, you know me from fragrantica so you could pm me there. (I’m in Kentucky.) BIG Fan of Pierre Bourdon. Are you interested in Comptoir SP’s Crystal de Musc? No box. Shakes like there’s at least 80% of 100m edt left in the stupid hairspray can. I bought it from Marlen/perfumecritic before he left for Finland. You know I love the stinkers so Crystal is just too light for me.

I think your Rien might be spoken for but if not……otherwise I have fairly broad tastes. Nothing rosy. I like leathers, fruity chypres, nothing too ambery but incense and vanilla are usually good and woody things. Don’t suppose you’ve got any Anne Pliska have you?
mariekel Reply:
November 25th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
i have a sample of Anne Pliska you are welcome to. The Rien alas, is “rien” now. When I get back to DC I will have a dig through my myriad samples. Don’t laugh, but have you ever tried Avon Occur — they discontinued it aeons ago but it is actually a fantastic fruity chypre. I could certainly give some of theat and some other goodies…
I think I may want to take those two Montales off your hands as well if they are still available. I noted this morning that I have left White Aoud than I thought…
donanicola Reply:
November 26th, 2010 at 6:22 am
That is all sounding good, inc the Avon! And the Aoud’s are yours if you still want them. My email details as above.
Parfums DelRae Coup de Foudre, 10ml decant about 70% full. It’s beautiful, but either my skin soaks it up super fast or I’m partially anosmic. Most reviews I’ve read don’t mention its extreme shyness, so I think it’s just me.

Ooh, Musette. Would love to swap for the L’Artisan. See my reply to your Nazgul thread — vintage Jolie Madame EDT? Violets for violets! I know March said nothing precious, but honestly, I bit on this ENORMOUS bottle of JM on ebay because I just couldn’t believe it was there. No one else bid. Now I have it. But I know others (you inlcuded) love it more.
Musette Reply:
November 24th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
yes. let’s talk – wait. weren’t we doing something else for this – yeah, the Nazgul.
I’m on with AlexanderGreene (hope I spelled that correctly) for a ml for ml (or something?) swap for the Roja Dove – perhaps we can do a ml for ml on the JM and you can get both the L’A and the Nazgul? Or if you want to dump the Nazgul, let me know and we can work out violets for violets – I’m easy.

not cheap, btw. Just easy. ;))

Kenzo minature set – 5ml KenzoJungle EDP, 5ml L’Eau Par Kenzo EDT, 4ml Flower by Kenzo EDP, 5 ml Kenzo Amour, 3.5 ml Summer by Kenzo (dabbed, but virtually unused)
Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio EDT– 10 ml decant
Banana Republic mini collection– Alabaster, Woman, Rosewood, Malachite – approx 7.5 each
I live in Canada and am mainly interested in perfume products. My wish list (hope springs eternal) includes smallish decants (maybe 10 mls) of one of the following: Divine by Divine, or Serge Lutens Bois de Violette, AdP Iris Nobile, Etro Shaal Nur, Agua de Naranjos (by Agua de Sevilla), Chanel Coromandel.

This is swapped!
Hi everyone! I don’t have much to offer but here goes:
1 3/4-full bottle 3.3 oz. spray of MPG Camelia Chinois. Picked this up as part of a bottle lot. Top notes have gone maple-syrupy but other than that it seems OK (never smelled this a whole lot so not sure, but the middle and drydown reminds me a bit of Clinique Wrappings).
1 boxed mini of Hermes Un Jardin Apres La Mousson; size is .25 fl. oz. or 7.5 ml
3 full carded Donna Karan Gold sample spray vials (each is .05 fl. oz. or 1.5 ml), plus two 1 oz./30 ml. sample size tubes of the body lotion. A friend gave this batch to me (think her sister was a rep or something)and I’ve had it in my closet for a while. Never wore this scent so can’t vouch for how it smells but I sprayed a tissue and it seemed OK, but …
I am in the U.S. and have a wonky P.O. so probably best not to do international. Mainly interested in fragrance (personal or home) but am a tea lover, so not opposed to that.
I enjoy vanillas (except for PdN Vanille Tonka), incense, most Diptyques, Theorema, patchouli, orange blossom, jasmine. Can’t do cumin, lavender, rose or much vetiver.
Dang– I am away from my little collection throught the weekend.
Here is what I have:
I can make you a lovely little decant from my large, antique-store- bought Gardenia de Chanel. I think it smells authentic, but I am not an expert.
I have a small bottle of Donna Karan Gold edt–this is a small bottle purchased at Perfumania–sorry, I don’t have the fl.oz. in mind,–maybe 1.5 or 2? Used very little, not my precious.
A tiny sample bottle of Sinan, with a teeny little tusk stopper. Smells great to me, but doesn’t cry out to stay with me.
A tiny little half full mini of Max Factor Geminesse, in a plastic case.
I’m interested in leathers and chypres, mostly, and some spicy orientals too. Curious about Neil Morris and Dawn Spencer Hurwitz. Actually, I like em all! If you live in the Bay Area, I propose we meet at a cafe and trade in person. I would rather not mail overseas.
Musette Reply:
November 24th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Where in the Bay Area? If you are in SF I would happily trade you the NMs for some Miette chocolate sables. They’re pretty easy (and inexpensive) to ship with some bubble-wrap (I know because I torture all my SF-bound friends with these).

White Musk and Swiss Arabian are now spoken for.
1) a 1/2 oz. spray bottle of J.Lo Still, sprayed twice. Earl Gray tea scent, discontinued – it was horrible on me but has many fans, and the bottle is adorable.
2) A mess of samples: 3 Eau d’Italie, 1 Diptyque, 1 Keiko Mecheri, 1 Smell Bent, plus a bunch of designer samples — Ed Hardy, Hugo Boss, Fergie, Lacoste, Ellen Tracy, and the like. The niche are all unused or sprayed once; the designer are in various degrees of usedness.
I prefer perfume but if you have cool other stuff, I’m open! I’m happy to accept samples, and I’m also happy to bundle lots 1 and 2 if someone wants them.
MAC Naked Honey – full bottle (20 ml), missing a few sprays (I bought 2 due to the hysteria and decided I only need one).
I live in the US and would prefer to swap for fragrance, but am open to anything. Likes – gourmands, spices, tobacco, boozy notes, citrus, greens. Would love a bottle of MAC Africanimal.

Not yet! I do have one bottle already, but would love a backup. Do you have one? I’ve got more stuff than is listed here – need to go through my decants and see what else I could do.

easiest thing is to check my MUA swap notepad/swaplist – I’m jasouza9 there.
Still have bottles of Jolie Madame, Hanae Mori Haute Couture, MAC Naked Honey, Burberry Weekend for Men, 1 oz. bottle, maybe 1/4 gone?, Eau de Givenchy, 50 ml bottle, about 40% full.
Hampton Sun Privet Bloom 10 ml decant, about6-7 mls remaining
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla 5 ml decant, only sprayed 2x (lovely vanilla, but I get no tobacco!)

of if you aren’t on MUA, you can email me at jasouza9 AT hotmail dot com
I’m a total lurker, but I have to say that i LOVE this initiative so I’m offering up:
1. YSL Cinema, 15 ml. No box, sprayed once.
2. Caron Parfum Sacré, 50 ml. Box (no cellophane), sprayed once.
I’m in Canada and open to anything fragrance-related. I prefer gourmands but very willing to try something new, especially scents for cold winters (as long as they aren’t powdery!). I don’t mind shipping international. :)

Wondering if this Parfum sacre is still up for grabs??? I am hpetry on MUA if you want to look at my swaplist. Gourmand decants I can do are KM Loukhoum, Lollia Wish, and Chinatown…
also can be reached at helenpetry at gmail :)
Goodness this is fun to read! Will be back later today with a list of unsniffed, blog inspired purchases and a few other treats!
OK – Deep Breath….
Montale – Aoud Roses Petals, edp. It’s a 100ml gold aluminum spray bottle w/box obtained directly from Montale Paris in Jan, 2009. My first direct nosedive into perfumista-dom. Gorgeous Rose, but just a bit too much woods and incense for me. There is at least 75ml left in the bottle. Don’t need 100 ml – 10ml would last me a lifetime!
I’m interested in PdN Vanille Intense or Vanille Tonka, Parfumerie Generale Aromassai, Iris Taizo (or try me), La Haie Fleurie, Bois de Paradis, Classic Dior, Guerlain, or Chanel.
Can also swap decants in 5ml increments – just ask!

Let’s do a 4-way open chat and see if we can work something out. I had promised a decant to Tamara a while back (which explains the “currently available” volume. Maybe we can work something out to make all of us happy – yes? There’s plenty to go around and if you know the scent, you know a tiny bit goes a loooong way….
I’ll email all of you and let’s keep the lines open, okay? Anyone who wants to opt out can just indicate on the mail and we can “drop” your name from our email threads.

Thanks, everyone!
Calypso Christiane Celle – Chevrefeuille, 100ml spray bottle (~75ml remaining). Notes according to Robin @ NST: bergamot, orange blossom, honeysuckle, amber, and musk.
It’s a refreshing, clean, floral scent that I wore a lot this past summer, but I’m ready to move on.
Would love to swap for an Annick Goutal floral – Camille, for example would be perfect, or another honeysuckle or citrusy floral scent.

Shalimars taken.
I’d like to add a few more things I’d be willing to swap for an awesome leather perfume like Chanel’s Cuir de Russie or Heeley’s Cuir Pleine Fleur, or my favorite musk in the world: Muscs Koublai Khan.
1) my partial bottle of Shiseido’s Feminite du Bois (original 90s formula; maroon, curvy bottle; 1.7oz; I’d have to go home and see how much is left–probably half). Pretty rare.
Again, I’m in the U.S. and want to keep the swappage to the U.S.

This bottle is about half full, as I suspected. It is the Eau de Parfum, and the back of the bottle says “Vaporisateur pure mist”. I’ve had it since the mid-90s and have stored it well. Smells great.

Parfums de Nicolai Eau Turquoise Eau Fraiche. Somewhere between 20 and 25ml remaining in the 100ml spray bottle–nice bottle, too. Sorry, no box. I love sandalwood, patchouli, rose, violet, leather, incense, green scents. Feel free to suggest something–I’m really open. ewatson 54 at g mail dot com.

I haven’t swapped before, but would love to find happy homes for some neglected fragrances! I’d prefer not to ship outside the US. I have:
1) YSL Yvresse EDT, 50ml, sprayed about 5 times
2) Teo Cabanel Alahine EDP, 50ml, about 5/6 remains
3) Guerlain Mitsouko EDT, 50ml sprayed about 10 times
4) Lubin Nuit de Longchamp EDP, 50ml, sprayed about 5 times
5) Kenzo Jungle L’Elephant EDP, 50ml, about 2/3 left; sorry, no box
6) Etro Anice EDT, 100ml, about 5/6 remains
I enjoy incense, amber, spices, and coffee notes–have been pining for Paestum Rose, Caravelle Epicee and Eau du Navigateur. Will also swap for chocolate, Bach recordings or interesting costume jewelry.

WANT. Want the Kenzo Jungle, would you take another Kenzo for it? I have a NIB Kenzo Eau Plum … something like that. Or chocolate, tons of costume.
I also want the Alahine (so freaking gorge) but feel like I should let it sit a hot minute, since I already have a bottle. Let’s see if anyone else asks? If not I’m interested.

All right, here they are! I am always and forever looking for Bois des Iles in parfum. Also would love samples of the Van Cleef Arpels, the new Cartier Heures, and the new Diptyques (Duelle and, um, the other one). Would also love some Ambre Narguile, Vanille Galante, Osmanthus Yunaan, Parfum d’Empire Osmanthus or Yuzu Fou, Parfums DelRae Bois de Paradis. Feel free to suggest any incense, woods, spice, leather, honey, iris, or sandalwood scents. Or just anything, especially for the Tocadilly and INes del Fressange. You can contact me via Perfume of Life, where I am also Sweetlife, and I just checked the notify box so I’ll get your comments in my email box. Be sure to tell me how to contact you!
Ines de la Fressange EDP, 30 ml, 1990’s Calice Becker version
A comfy peach/pale musk with a dusting of aldehydes. I blame March.
http://perfumeposse.com/2010/03/09/calice-beckers-ines/
Rochas Tocadilly EDT, 30 ml
A sunny lilac. I blame Helg on Perfume Shrine. Read this and you will, too.
http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.com/2009/04/tocadilly-by-rochas-fragrance-review.html
La Perla Parfum Privé, 100 frickin’ ml
I blame this review by Marlen of “Perfume Critic,” (who seems to have disappeared from the web) but since I got my first bottle of Bois du Feminite in the same ebay lot, I’ve never been sorry. Nevertheless, here it is. A cedary chypre. Quite lovely but not my thing.
Balmain, Monsieur Balmain, EDT 100 frickin ml minus a few I gave away.
The one in the bright yellow box. I blame Luca, who calls this the best lemon citrus ever and gives it a bazillion stars. It goes on LEMON. Then it is Lemon, Lemon, Lemon, Lemon, lemon, lemon. Then it is a very nice sandalwood.
Annick Goutal, Ce Soir our Jamais, EDT, half of a 25 ml square bottle
A quite lovely and romantic rose with maybe some jasmine back up. Very pretty but I already have a lifetime supply of other jasmine-rose combos.
Smell Bent, Violet Tendencies, 10 ml oil
A quite leathery violet. That’s leather chaps, or new shoes, not leather handbag. Made for a man, quite wearable by a woman. But not this one, I was hoping for more violet.
Parfum de Nicolai, Eau de Lude, glass spray decant—I think this is 5 ml?
Can’t remember what I was thinking on this one. It has the green jasmine that always reads as LOTV to me—the same one that appears in Kilian’s new jasmine, Love and Tears. Entirely pretty. Entirely not me. Would love to swap for another Nicolai decant.
Parfumerie Generale, Cuir Venenum, decant—I think it’s 7.5 ml, could be 10.
A sweet leather. Too much Venenum, not enough Cuir on me

Hi there, sweetlife! Were you interested in a decant of the Chanel Gardenia, vintage perfume? I would trade for the Ines– I love that stuff. :)>- Interesting;ly, I just bought a little sample of the parfum prive at Raffy’s store in LA–it’s a room clearer, that one! I think the samp alone could embalm my entire self–:)>-

Not sure if I did email you in all the excitement….anyway am offering samples/decants of Angela Flanders Oudh Noire (alot of patch!), Marc Jacobs Violet and Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger Lily. Have a little mini of Mauboussin which I’m happy to swap away as I’ve now got my mitts on a big bottle.

(This having been my choice for the week-long challenge, I can now say with complete certainty that it’s not my bag. Perfectly good frag though, and bound to make someone happy!)
I am in the Netherlands, for this item EU swaps only please (what with weight & postal costs). I’d prefer perfume swaps (some ideas: Bal à Versailles, Safran Troublant, Like This, MdO Cuir, AA Pamplelune, Eau des Merveilles – decants are more than welcome of course) but loose leaf tea & dark chocolate are weaknesses of mine, too.

Hi Zeezee,
I’m interested in the OJ sample set and the Russian Caravan Tea decant, if they’re not spoken for already.
I don’t have much perfume to swap, other than decants of Chergui and Donna Karan Black Cashmere (or a FB of Paestum Rose per below), but I’m in Malaysia where I can get good quality Chinese tea, Malaysian tea (not as good, IMHO) and a variety of tropical foods & crafts. My email is tartufi AT gmail DOT com.

Hi, I’m interested in the L’Occitane AMbre (I live in Croatia) – some of my things are listed here (Houbigant Apercu, Chanel Chance, Avon Absynthe…) or you can see what I have on offer on MUA under Inesstef.
Carthusia Mediterraneo eau de toilette, 50 ml (? maybe it’s 100ml — forgot to check this morning). There was no box; a few spritzes short of a full bottle. Mediterraneo is a cologne, very summery, rather like iced tea with lemon.
I’m in Canada and am happy to consider fragrance/non fragrance swaps. (In an ideal world there’s a Chanel Sycomore decant out there.) Willing to give international shipping a go.

Oh what the heck :) This is a very fun idea!
So… I’ve got an 8 ml bottle of Monaco Dependent perfume oil from Smell Bent that just hasn’t been getting enough love – I’ve only worn it once or twice. Anyone care to make a swap?
I have a 75 ml bottle of Oliban by Keiko Mecheri that I purchased last year from Luckyscent. It’s been sprayed about 5 times, and I do believe I still have the box. It’s a nice incense rose scent but unfortunately gives me a headache when I wear it.
I’m a fan of sandalwood, amber, spicy scents. Love Montale’s aouds. I live in the US and would prefer to trade within the country.

Hi Everyone,
I have a completely full, but not in a box, 100ml bottle of Paestum Rose that should go to a good home.
Also looking to give away a decant of Chergui, either with the PR or as part of a bigger assortment.
Would love to swap for some combination of decants, partials, minis. I enjoy woods, incense, amber, green, rose with something dirty in it. I’m also open to non-perfume trades, let’s talk.
I’m in Asia, but shipping’s not so bad — really! I can email a prepaid FedEx label that you put on an envelope, and away it goes.

Yes, the Chergui is available, along with a few other decants. Email me at tartufi AT gmail DOT com when you get home Tuesday, and we can talk.
50ml old-style bottle of L’Artisan Premier Figuier, maybe 20% gone. I have the box. Still smells wonderfully green, but I rarely wear it and it deserves better treatment.
I’m in the US, and I would prefer to swap for fragrance. I’ll post more as I dig them out.
If any of you has L’Artisan Timbuktu or OJ Ta’if or Escentric Molecules Escentric 01, I would LOVE to have it, for whatever variety of goodies we agree on. Besides those, I’m open to almost anything. Vetiver, rose, orange blossom, incense, and leather sound really good right now.
maidenbliss Reply:
November 29th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
I have 1ml samples of Orange and Nectarine Blossom by Jo Malone if you’re interested.
Givenchy Organza Indecence, 5ml mini, used very little (no more than 1ml gone, probably less). I try not to love scents I can’t replace, so this must go!
Lanvin Oxygene, 2.5oz in the box, sprayed twice.
Michael Kors Kors 100ml bottle, sprayed a few times. The lettering is wearing on the bottle a little from being taken out of the swap pile and put back in so often.
CK Eternity cologne 1.7oz stopper bottle, a few ml used.
CK Obsession 3.4oz tester bottle, sprayed a couple times.
Elizabeth Taylor Passion 1.5oz edt and 6.8oz perfumed body lotion. The lotion is new, the edt has been sprayed a few times. It turns to bleach on my skin, but is a warm lovely monster on others I’ve sprayed.
I’m in the US, and my preferences/hopes are a post or two up.
Cheers!

Send your address to schwaa at gmail, please!
A few more…
Eau de Gucci “concentrated” spray, 2oz, half full. It’s an older bottle, tall with a plain dark blue cap, and smells soft, powdery, floral. I sniff it compulsively in the bottle – there’s a tiny bitter edge that keeps it interesting – but never spray it on, so it’s yours.
Liz Claiborne edt 1oz in the old yellow triangle bottle. It’s hard to tell how much is left but it looks like a bit less than half.
Gendarme “7 Sinful Scents” set of seven 15ml sprays: Excess, Greed, Lust, Vanity, Rage, Sloth, and Envious. All have been tested, most are full, and none is less than half full (just Lust is close, oops).
Stetson cologne spray, .75oz (darn it, Tania)
Annick Goutal “Mandragore” edt 15ml bottle never used.
Vivienne Westwood “Anglomania” edp 50 ml (in box) about 55 % full.

Hi,
Hope I am not too late..Here is what I have:
1 – Coty Muguet du Bois 2 oz – probably vintage, bought on email in bottle with skinny top and bulbus bottom. 90% full
2 – Jo Malone Blue Agava & Cacao – 100ml about 90% full, loved it in the store, really didn’t love it at home
3 – Krigler No. 12 eau de parfum 50 ml – Chateau Krigler – a Sniffa NYC purchase sprayed maybe twice
4 – Saffron James – Nani eau de parfum 30 ml – an unsniffed purchase
5 – Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nil – eau de toilette – 100ml another unsniffed purchase – its a little to dry for me
I would love an interesting Guerlain if possible.
I am in the US.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Hi Tara – sleepless in Europe here. Would love the Agave & Cacao…can you give a few more tips as to what you might like? or an email or MUA id? Should really go back to bed….also will be at a US address in 3 weeks if you wish to avoid the wonderful world of Deutsche Post. Have some Guerlain decants/samples/minis possibly to trade but not sure if they are “interesting” enough!! And tons tons tons of other stuff…

I have been searching the globe for some Guerlain Plus Que Jamais, if you had any of that and do any decanting that would be amazing!!! Or some Mahora. I’d also like to try SL Five O’Clock au Gingerbread (or something like that).

I have a 50 ml spray tester bottle of Miss Balmain EDT, barely used – not “old” vintage but by the bottle style – round shoulders and a ribbon bow – I believe it is from before the latest round of reformulations and the change in Balmain’s ownership. I like it but it’s not that easy to wear and does not get out much. If you need more details about this one contact me privately. Will swap entire bottle or a 10 ml. decant. It’s definitely an acquired taste.
Also available, will do one or more 10 ml decants of Balmain Eau d’Amazonie from my big bottle if anyone is curious. It’s a fruity floral but a little unusual. Not rare but I think it’s discontinued now, it was a limited run.
(Lots of samples, mainstream, niche and obscure, will throw in with the decant or bottle swap, just let me know what style you like.)
Can do one 10 ml decant of Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque, Rochas Absolu EDP(discontinued, Houbigant Demi-Jour (vintage), Lucien Lelong pour Femme EDP and/or vintage Miss Dior EDT for a good swap offer.
Looking for: a full size vintage/pre-reformulation bottle of Guerlain Samsara (to give to someone else for Christmas) and a decant – at least 5 ml?- of The Nazgul (Hermes Ambre Narguile) for myself just so I can say I have tried it, been trying to find some forever!
Also looking for any size Jean Patou Joy or 1000(older preferred) Sisley Soir de Lune and the following Serge Lutens scents: A La Nuit, Fleurs de Citronnier, Nuit de Cellophane, Un Lys, Arabie, Douce Amere or Miel de Bois. (Yeah, I am a sick individual, I know!)
I will consider non-perfume swaps too, but no candles please.

Hello everyone,
I would love to part with the following regretted purchases:
1) A 1.0 oz (30 ml) bottle of Estée Lauder’s “private collection tuberose gardenia” edp. With box. Didn’t use more than 10 times. Bought at “La Rinascente” in Milan earlier this year.
2) A 75 ml bottle of Creed’s “Virgin Island Water”. Bought in 2007ish at “La Rinascente” in Milan (they do not carry Creed any more). Withought box. Smells pristine (which means it smells of coconut and white musk) and has been used less than 10 times.
I live in Italy, I won’t ship outside Europe, nor would I ship to Switzerland or any other country with customs involved.
Feel free to ask questions!
I have a bottle of the original Armani Mania for women, the one with the black cap, that needs a better home. I never really got along with it, so it’s least 95% full. 50 ml/1.7 oz, if I remember correctly.
I am in Sweden, open to international swaps, will swap for fragrance, vintage or new. Would very happily swap for Aramis, new Rochas Femme, Bal á Versailles or Azurée, but I’m open to suggestions.

Oh, my goodness, I’ve been out of town—I’ll start here. I’ve got 1 FB of Azuree, 1 FB Bal and 2 FB of Flower Bomb I’d love to pass on. loreliedotmayatgmaildotcom as well as others. I can’t believe I have to read 1000 comments! what a great post!!
My head is kind of spinning from reading all of this, and now I can’t resist listing my stuff:
Balmain Ivoire, 3.3 oz w/box, minus 5 ml
The Body Shop White Musk Blush, 30ml, sampled a coupla times
Sun, Moon & Stars by K.Lagerfeld, 30ml full w/box
Calvin Klein Secret Obsession mini gift pack (.33oz roll on w/1
body lotion in tube), NIB
Tabu spray cologne (yup) 1.8 oz, 3/4 full
Lancome La Collection Sikkim 15ml, sampled a coupla times
lg decant (15ml?) of Caron Bellodgia
lg decant (10ml?) of Caron Nuit de Noel
I can also offer homemade authentic Amish Cashew Crunch candy. It’s in 1 lb bags, made by an honest to goodness Amish lady. My elderly father sells it for her every holiday season. Ingredients: Cashews, sugar, butter. It’s kind of like peanut brittle but not as, well, brittle. We call it Amish Crack – it’s totally unique and addictive. :)
I’m in the US and prefer to swap in the US but I can be tempted by vintage costume jewelry or sterling silver, scarves, dark/brooding perfumes and nail polish. Or whatever. Contact me:

Happy Thanksgiving, folks.
Baccarat Sacres de Thebes PARFUM, from a ml sample up to a dram decant. It’s all I’ve got left. DK Wenge EDP decant, Demeter Playdoh bottle, a surprise pack of niche samples.
I really want:
Memoire Liquide 120 Fleur d’Oranger the perfume oil, not EDT
I will also consider:
L’Artisan La Chasse (30ml), and will consider others
Jo Malone Black Vetyver Cafe
Frank L.A.
I also love antique and vintage jewelry
Got a nut allergy here, no candies please.
Feel free to make a fabulous suggestion, I’m pretty much a niche only girl due to sensitivities to most dept. store fumes. It sucks.

Etat Libre Putain des Palaces, 30 ml, 90% full
SL Daim Blonde EDP, 50 ml, a few sprays gone
Caron Narcisse Noir EDT, 50 ml, 60% full

I forgot to add one – FB of Donna Karan Gold, can’t remember if it’s 50 or 100 ml right now bought because it’s supposed to smell like Casablanca lilies, which I adore, unfortunately does not work on me and the lily is mixed with pencil shavings, nice but not what I was expecting. Will do 10 ml decants or swap FB.

Hey,
There are almost 700 comments on here! Holy moly! Impossible to read through them all but I have up for swap…practically full (maybe sprayed 5 times) a bottle of Fresh Index Pomegranate Anise.
I live in U.S. and only want to swap within the states. Looking for Bulgari Black, some Serge, or anything rose, violet, vanilla, incense, oud – (no BBW, VS, etc.).
Just found one to list – sorry I’m late
Tom Ford White Patchouli. 4ml in box totally never even opened.

Don’t know if anyone will see this way down here, but what the heck! Oddly enough, I recently decided that I wasn’t going to wear perfume from any of my bottles until I gave a good try to a whole bunch of decants. So here are the ones that I don’t want to keep:
Heeley Fine Leather – approx. 8 mls in glass atomizer
Byredo Bal d’Afrique – approx. 9 mls in glass atomizer
Rosine Rose Kashmirie – approx. 4 mls in glass atomizer
Lorenzo Villoresi Incensi – approx 6 mls in glass atomizer
Chanel Bois des Iles – approx 3 mls in glass atomizer
Diptyque Eau d’Elide – approx 2 mls in metal/glass atomizer
I’d prefer to swap these all together, I’m in the U.S. and prefer to ship only within the U.S. because I work from 0830 to 2100 and getting to the Post Office during their “open” hours is a real b**ch. However, if you live outside the U.S. and have one of those 15 ml bottles of Hermes Vanille Galante, or a nice decant of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (daughter loves this!) or some Les Nereides Imperial Oppoponax, I’ll figure out a way :d. Obviously, if you live IN the U.S. and have any of these, that would be awesome too.
March, I have an almost full bottle of YSL Cinema if you haven’t found one yet. Can’t check it for volume right now without waking someone up though.

Guerlain Tokyo – about 13 mls

Diptyque Eau d’Neroli – about 6-7 mls
Miller Harris l’Eau d’Rien – about 5mls
Never mind about swapping them all together, there’s enough up here now that I’ll split ‘em up. Would prefer to send at least two, maybe three though :”> .

Hi Triplex, Cuir Beluga may be gone, I’ll let you know by tomorrow. I do have the back to black decant (it doesn’t have the spray travel container, it is only the official 7.5ml bottle that goes with the travel container…with appx. 4.5ml). Would you be interested in swapping for some Miel de Bois?

Hi Clarkadge,
Sent you a couple of emails, not sure if you received since my email addy often ends up in spam. The Barbara Bui turns out to be a 3 oz(rather than the 3.4 oz that I posted – I was going on memory, since I was not at home). It has about 1.5ml to 2ml used. Just wanted you to know, in case you know longer feel that your suggestion to be an equitable swap. Just let me know…:)
Thanks! :)

Millicent Reply:
November 26th, 2010 at 4:25 am
Hi Geordan,
I have what I think is an 8ml decant of Chergui that’s 80% full, plus a bunch of others that sound up your alley: 15ml of Black Cashmere, 8ml of Kyoto, 17 ml of Bois 1920 Real Patchouly, and 8 ml of Etro Messe de Minuit. All are about 90% full.
Would you consider these for the Barbara Bui? I’m also interested in the Ormonde Jayne set and can add decants of SL Santal Blanc and Clair de Musc to what I give you, if those appeal.
Email me at tartufi AT gmail DOT com if you’re interested. I’m in Asia (Malaysia), but mailing is pretty simple.

Hi Geordan,
I’m interested in the Detchema decant. I have a bonbon sample of Saks for her and can decant you some other tuberose scents if you like, such as vintage Chloe, 273, Senso. I also have lotsa vintage chypres. Check out my list at BronxBeauty at frangrantica or rednails at basenotes. Thanks, rednails. (As one of my screen names indicates, i’m in one of NYC’s 5 counties.)

Hi Rednails,
Would you be willing to part with some fracas, Bal a versailles, and habinita decants? If you look up the link below, the vintage bottle that I have is the one in the lower right-hand corner (image nd.7070.jpg). So, it’s not the most vintage, but it is vintage, according to my understanding (probably closer to 10ml than 5ml, but can verify for you). It is near full, but can send a personal photo.

Hi Geordan, My Fracas and Habanita are not vintage, but my Bal is the old, skanky EDC. I’d be happy to make a deal on samples. And did you want that bonbon? How can I reach you? I don’t want to put my email up here bc it’s my, em, real name. Could you leave an address or email me at Fragrantica or MUA? Thanks, rednails/bronxbeauty

Good morning Geordan,
I was wondering if you had found a home for your Diptyque Olene. I’m not sure what I have that might be of interest to you, but I’m open. I also might be interested in the Rose Alexandrie.
I have a Mitsouko edp (newest version, bought this year, sprayed about 5x), a Chamade EDT in the older gold atomizer (whether or not this is considered vintage or not I don’t know), about 1/2 full. I don’t know these interest you or if you’d consider non-perfume items.
E-mail me if you’re interested m s m (no spaces) four (the number) s l m at charter dot net

My apologies for adding to a huge thread with an O/T request, but I’m getting a bit frantic!
Would any of the Scandinavian or European readers have access to a brand of chocolate called Kalev?
A friend of my mother adopted 3 little girls (sisters) from Estonia, who are adapting well to the rural Deep South, but they are asking for this chocolate.
I have contacted the company directly, but they don’t distribute it here. I have yet to hear back from the Estonian American Society or the Estonian Embassy, who no doubt think I am nuts.
The youngest one, who is 7 with red hair and huge green eyes, asked Santa for it this morning!
I have a PayPal account, and would certainly reimburse anyone…but even a tip as to where to find it would be appreciated!

Tammy,
there are a couple of swappers here who live EU (it looks like Kalev exports there) – maybe they would be willing to swap you some Kalev for something? Scroll through the comments – I don’t want to ‘out’ anybody on here – and see if you can connect with them!

Hey Tammy,
your post caught my eye, and while looking it up online I saw that in the comments at the very bottom of this page:
http://www.international-chocolates.com/2007/09/16/kalev-chocolate/
someone in Estonia offers to send chocolates to people who need to get their hands on some. A contact email address is in the comment. You might try that. :)

Hi Tammy,
I am in the UK and there are 2 shops near me that I can check- one is a specialist of far- flung sweets etc and the other is a supermarket specialising in Eastern European items. Will try to check tomorrow!
Decants available:
Serge Lutens Chergui, 8ml
Donna Karan Black Cashmere, 15ml
Comme des Garcons Kyoto, 8ml
Bois 1920 Real Patchouly, 17ml
Etro Messe de Minuit, 8ml
Guerlain Cruel Gardenia 8ml
Serge Lutens Santal Blanc, 15ml
Serge Lutens Clair de Musc, 8ml
All are about 90% full, except the Chergui, which is more like 80% (I kept trying to like it).
Ideally, these would go all or mostly to one place, in exchange for other decants.
I’m in Asia, but will make shipping as painless as possible, especially to close a good deal for both of us!

Don’t be discouraged, Taffynota! I stopped scrolling through awhile ago because it was just too crazy (plus I’d already WAY overcommitted to other swaps) so you may have just gotten lost in the crowd. I know I was totally delighted when people offered to send me things other than perfume for my stuff, so if you see anything you desire on here I’d go for it with creative offers!

I’m a complete newbie, but I have a couple of items to swap. I have an unopened, still in the box in the cellophane, bottle of Eau de Sud, Annick Goutal (100 ml). I also have a bottle of Annick Goutal Eau de Camille which is 85 to 90% full (also 100 ml). I’m in the very southern part of Arkansas, but am willing to swap internationally.

Let me think…is there something you’d especially like and don’t have? HAHA! That’s almost too funny to write since I think of you and Patty and Musette and others as owning entire arsenals of my HGs.
Btw, is the lotion pretty close to the 10CC perfume? Sometimes it’s not quite the same.
I have 2 bottles almost full of that horrendous Flower Bomb that makes everyone’s eyes glaze over when they find out they’re sitting in my tiny arsenal. I’m thinking I might use them for toilet cleaners.

That was my fault, I read it as “top hat.”
Back at home after some heavy snow here in Scotland(arghhhhh).
Here is my little list of miniatures that ‘d love to go somewhere else so they could be more appreciated;
Rochas Femme 4ml.?maybe EDP?.
Majmua oil4ml.
Paloma Picasso Tentations 4ml.
YSL Opium EDT 7’8 ml.
Hermes Eau des Merveilles EDT 7’5ml.
Fendi Asja EDT 20 ml.
Almost full apart from the two or three drops to try them and the Fendi bottle is opaque so I can’t really tell how much is in there,but at least is three quarters full.
I live in UK.I can ship international,I’d love some samples,minis or decants in return(do not like tuberose or lavender notes), I don’t mind if it is a non perfume swap either(love good literature,music,sweets,chocolate,coffee,etc…

No no,it is yours if you want it,I posted it for you but obviously I didn’t reply to your comment as I was intending and did it in Musette’s one,sorry about that,girls.
I posted that link only to let you know what kind of attar oil is,because I think there are a lot of different ones and wanted to make sure that you want this particular one.
I’ve checked once more and your email is nowhere I can find but yes let’s talk I want you to enjoy the Majmua,it is a shame that I can’t.

Happy Monday Ms. Mussette is the offer still available?? >-) crossing my fingers
I’m almost last – still reading from the beginning…..
I have almost full bottles of Diptyque Philosykos and a Mitsouko EDP (not very old but not the most recent bottle I think? – I prefer my extrait and PdeT).
Both are 100ml bottles.
I do live in NZ which may limit some swaps – but we do have a reliable postal service out and I’ve had no trouble receiving.
Am open to any offers but love oud / iris and some amber scents.
March Reply:

Okay, tell me if this is a stupid, overcomplicated idea: I send Fiona whatever of my list of decants she wants, Fiona sends March the Mitsy, and March sends me the lotion?
I’d be really happy to swap with someone as close to my home in Kuala Lumpur as New Zealand, but am not so interested in either the Philosykos or the Mitsouko. Fiona, is there anything on my list you want? Everything is at least 80% full:
Vetiver Tonka, 15ml
Donna Karan Black Cashmere, 15ml
Comme des Garcons Kyoto, 8ml
Bois 1920 Real Patchouly, 17ml
Etro Messe de Minuit, 8ml
Guerlain Cruel Gardenia 8ml
Serge Lutens Santal Blanc, 15ml

OK–One more item to offer for swap–Shu Uemura, fleur de terre– 1.6 oz spray, slightly used. In a perfect world, would dearly love some Chanel Sycomore– just gave away my decant to a friend who loved it and now can’t rest til I have some back in my arms.
Hope springs eternal– any Shu lovers out there? This is a lovely, earthy patchouli.
I have a very pretty bottle of My Dream: Hommage a Marlene Dietrich by Gres. 2 oz,,,new. Here’s a link:http://www.parfumsgres.com/collection_dream.html Anyone interested?? I am in search for bottle/decant/etc..of Habit Rouge:)) I’m in the US. Lynne N
I love Cabochard Gres. What is the Marlene comparable to? I’m looking for some Habit Rouge as well.
Lynne1962 Reply:
November 28th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
What would I compare it to??? Well, it’s a soft floriental with a sandalwood base.
It opens with Italian mandarin, pineapple, melon, black currant, apple and cloves in the top notes. The heart encompasses accords of Casablanca lily, rose, violet, lily of the valley, orange blossom and heliotrope. The base notes introduce sandalwood, iris, vanilla, amber and musk. It’s definitely a demure perfume, unlike Cabochard:)
Demure? But beautiful. I would love this.

I want a scarf. A knitted or crocheted scarf, with a hat maybe, from somebody who loves perfume, and will have playing with a bunch of samples.
I’ll start by offering the LuckyScent Late Winter sample pack I got last winter, and never used. Ten Nez A Nez scents, Isabey Fleur Nocturne, Odin Century, Costume National Homme, Costamoor Sugarwood. This would have pleased me oodles earlier in my descent down the rabbit hole, but now I find I have more fun settling into little anterooms with one or two perfumes rather than gobbling up as much as I can.
Then, you tell me what you’ve liked so far, and I’ll either toss in more samples decanted from my collection of something along those lines, or maybe YOU will want this big bottle of Champs Elysses edt which I’ve held onto for no particular reason. Or you’ll tell me you want one each of 15ml bottles of Moonlight Path and Joan Rivers Midnight Flower. (As Hera is my witness, I bid on a lot of the Joan Rivers in a fit of madness. I had envisioned a perfume party with crazy goodie bags. Oddly, most of my nearby friends are not into that sort of thing.)
I can’t believe I made it to the bottom of the comments. Oy to the vey. ! If you find yourself here, too, and want to swap, just let me know. Use that control + F4 key or whatever trick got mentioned in today’s (Monday’s) post, search my name, and see the other things I’ve thrown up for grabs.
But the coffret of organic liqueurs is just for Eric until I hear back from his “Let me make you happy” self. ;)

Hi Ula – I’m interested in the Berlin – how do I reach you?

Estonian chocolate, they are on Facebook but this is an internet shop. They might be able to post it in time ?
Still have FB of Donna Karan Gold – 50 ml EDP, no takers??
Also just realized that I have a nearly full tester bottle of Mariella Burani Bouquet d’Amour Mysterieuse – 100 ml EDP. Discontinued!
Whatcha got? I am interested in Mariella Burani Amuleti, Antica Farmacista Casablanca Lily, Rochas Tocade, or ????????
I live in the U.S. and I can only do swaps within the country.
Please contact me at Patoufan1 @ gmail dot com if interested.
More stuff I forgot to post:
Shiseido – Energizing Fragrance 15 ml, Eau Aromatique, boxed, used twice
Borsari Parma – Borsari 1870
Borsari 1870 Acqua Classica 200ml Body Lotion
Chanel – Cristale
5ml decant of EDP, glass spray bottle
I’m from Europe, Slovakia.
Would appreciate perfume but I’m open to anything, so feel free to suggest!
(thing on my wish list, e.g. Strange Invisible Perfumes – Magazine Street, Etat Libre D’Orange – Like this, Anne Pliska, or Guerlain’s L’Instant Magic, L’Artisan Dzing!)
Diptyque Verviene room spray 100 ml bottle about 90ml left.
Interested in Amouage Lyric Woman, Ginestet Botryis, Paestum Rose, Temps de Fete, Citizen Queen or any mixed bag’o decants.
I’m in Canada

Hmm. I have 10ml of Lyric Man (sprayed once, very nice, not me), but I’m thinking you’re the kind of perfume person who when they say Lyric Woman, they mean Lyric Woman.
Nonetheless, I could partner that up with a decant of Temps d’une Fete. Which I love, by the way, and is something I hope to never be without. And I could certainly mix you a bag o’ decants.

Hi Shellly – Lyric Woman makes me swoon, the Man version, not so much. However Temps d’une Fete and surprises would be fun. Please email me at bgsc at rogers dot com.

Yay, Tiger Flag attars! I’d love to try these, since March has been so rhapsodic about them. I can send you a decant of Niki de St. Phalle Eau Défendue (and a small sample of her perfume) in return for any of these. And probably a sample set of Vero’s perfumes (I’ll have to check if my “purveyor” still has them). Contact me at convallia AT yahoo dot com, pretty please:
