April Perfume Sample Fairy Godmother

perfume sample fairy godmother

Esperanza the Perfume Fairy Godmother

It’s time for the April Perfume Sample Fairy Godmother post.  You can post one thing you are  longing for – perfume sample or perfume decant or full bottle.

So here’s how it works – this post will be open for the entire month of April 2013.   I’ll start a new one at the beginning of May

For those of you new or that need a reminder of how this works – in comments you can list one thing that you are yearning for and can’t seem to get –  a perfume sample is the easiest wish to grant for me.  Or you can wish for a full bottle, decant, vintage perfume or discontinued perfume you can’t find.  If someone has it and can help you out, they can reply to you in comments and then you can arrange to go offline through e-mail to work things out.  Please don’t post e-mails in comments unless you spoof them somehow, like this – patty at perfumeposse dawtcawm (spelling the dotcom at the end that way prevents robots from finding it as easily). Caveat Emptor and all that, don’t send people money, check out their references on MUA or Basenotes or the Facebook groups before you send something in a swap, if you wind up doing a swap.  

If it’s a gift, send away.  I should note that  it’s more likely that a Fairy Godmother will happen along if you are a fairly regular commenter on The Posse and people recognize your name.

I’ll also play Perfume Posse Fairy Godmother and go through the list every month and grant some perfume sample wishes. I’ll pick from ones that nobody has been able to help with – I’ll spin my random.org wheel  – and send them The Precious.

Aloha – I just found this website this afternoon & messaged the webmaster, but thought I would see how the Fairy Godmother works as well 🙂 Do any of you know where I can find “Aqua Mist” by Bath & Body Works? They had it for a brief time in the late ’90’s and my mom loves it, but I can’t find it online anywhere. She’s been hoarding the last little bit in the bottle for years & I know she would love to receive it for Mother’s Day or her birthday! Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, that is a different one – that one is called Deep Aqua & it’s the one that shows up on all the searches I have done. The one I’m looking for comes in a perfume bottle, not a body splash. Thanks for your help, though!

Hey everyone! I just want to post a big public thank you to Carolyn C., my Fairy Godmother this month. Thank you Carolyn! You’ve put a big ol’ smile on my face on more than one occasion! I also just want to remind everyone else that I can offer a sample of Annick Goutal Grand Amour and a sample of Hermes Brin de Reglisse. Some one take these to a good home! Cheers perfumistas!

Dear Esperanza, I know I’m late to the party this month but I figured I’d try anyway. See, I think I might need a bottle of Vero Profumo Rubj EDP but the thing is, I’ve never tried the extrait. I was hoping that I could possibly get a few drops of the Rubj Extrait to try to see if perhaps that would be a better version for me to purchase. I’d hate to spend $200+ on the EDP only to find out later that I like the extrait better.

Hi everyone,

I am excited about sandalwood, vetiver and jasmine scents, but love almost any not very floral scents. I was hoping to try out a few samples from the following ever growing list.

Santal De Mysore by Serge Lutens
Bois et Musk
Coeur de Vetiver Sacre by L’Artisan Parfumeur
Caligna Eau De Parfum by L’Artisan Parfumeur
Safrant troublant by L’Artisan Parfumeur
Al Oudh Eau De Parfum by L’Artisan Parfumeur

Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, everyone! A friend is visiting Paris in June and I plan on asking her to bring me Iris Silver Mist. Although I have also tried Rose Nuit and La Myrrh, I have not smelled anything else from this range and would love to try any of the following 4: Encens et Lavende, Bois de Violette, Boxeuses, Santal de Mysore. These all have notes that I love. Also, I live in South Africa…

Hi Ruel! I too, love BdeE and was told by a Saks Armani Beaute SA that it MAY come back to the US this summer, since there is a lot of requests for it. We can only hope. It is still available in European boutiques if you can bribe a friend to bring it back…That said, if you can find Heeley Cardinal, I think it’s super close and has pacified me till Armani is available again. Sorry I don’t have any to share, but I hope that helps a little 🙂

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful messages! My Mom went the best way possible, quickly and on her own terms. All the family managed to get there in time to wish her a good journey. She believed that when she died, her positive energy would merge with what she called the Universal Concience and would become part of the positive energy surrounding all of us every day. So if you find yourself smiling an extra time today, that’s my Mom.

Hello FG! I had a ton of fun wishing and granting wishes last month, thank you!

This month, I am very curious about fragrances I’ve heard about in passing but never seem to find anywhere, and that I can’t get a handle on from the reviews I’ve read. Basically, unlike most frags, I can’t tell if I would even like these! Which of course makes them fascinating. The ones that have me wondering are ELdO’s Rien (how does “nothing” smell??), Kenzo Jungle L’Elephant (some descriptions sound awesome, some sound awful, and I can’t pin the notes down) and also Nanadeberry Pink. Any one of these would be a neat adventure.

I’ll stalk the post/comments to see what I have that I can do wishes with as well. This is so fun!

Dear Perfume Fairy,

I’m looking for a beautiful gardenia perfume that would fall into the Perfume Posse’s classification of “a pretty perfume that’s kinda gardenia” or “Gardenia Hall of Shame”! Specifically I’m interested in Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia, Kai, Monyette Paris, Arquiste Boutonnière No. 7, or one of the gardenias by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz.

I’m a little scared of the bleu cheese smelling ones (even though I haven’t smelled any of those). Maybe I’d try one? Maybe…I just can’t see myself ever appreciating the stinky bleu cheese!

Respectfully,

Jamie

P.S. Last week I received a small decant of Van Cleef and Arpels Gardenia Petale and loved it!

Hi Jamie – I don’t have the specific gardenias you listed, but I do have Annick Goutal’s Un Matin d’Orage (After the Storm) which is a very pretty, fresh and watery gardenia, that gets a bit earthy in the drydown. I can send you a large sample to try – email at lisadarty at hotmail dot com if you’re interested.

Thank you, so much, Jan. Now I will have to read the “how to decant” article on this wonderful site. Have you thought about downloading a CD spine label template and printing on a sheet of vinyl. I got mine CD spine label template (for MS Word) at World Label. You’d have to cut them out, but they’d be water/perfume proof and would stick nicely.

I am new to the glorious world of perfume. I haven’t built up a collection yet to be able to play fairy perfumemother, myself, but if anyone has samples of one of the following, I’ll leave a tooth under my pillow:

Amouage Ubar – new iteration
Montale Red Vetyver
Magie Noire – vintage

Also, if someone could let me know where can I get materials to make my own samples, when the time comes (soon, I hope), I’d appreciate all the help I can get.

Joni, I buy the 2.5 ml spray bottles from Surrender to Chance. You can find them a little cheaper elsewhere, but supporting the people from the Posse is a very good thing. I get pipettes and funnels from them too.My only other have to have is Scotch Decorate and repair tape in colors, to keep my mailed bottles from leaking. A label printer would be nice, but not in my immediate future, lol

For some reason, when I replied to this, it posted my response at the bottom, so I am reposting here in case you might miss it, Jan:

Thank you, so much, Jan. Now I will have to read the “how to decant” article on this wonderful site. Have you thought about downloading a CD spine label template and printing on a sheet of vinyl. I got mine CD spine label template (for MS Word) at World Label. You’d have to cut them out, but they’d be water/perfume proof and would stick nicely.

Also, what I didn’t say below, is that I would be happy to send you a few sheets of 8 1/5 x 11 vinyl to print on, if you want to try it before investing anything in it. Just send me an email AgFang35 at aol dot com.

Happy day!

Thank you for the suggestion. I will go ahead and pick up the vinyl (i presume it has a peel off sticky side) and have just downloaded a template for the cd spine label.

Yes, Jan, it does have a peel-off sticky side. That ought to get you by till you can budget some perfume money for a label printer. 🙂

Joni, where are you? I can help with a decant of Ubar but I’m in the UK so shipping outside is risky

Dear Posse godmothers, y’all are awesome, first off-it needs to be said. I would love to try something from the Huitieme Art line this month, if anyone has a sample to spare (I’d love to swap for them). I was recently sent a bit of Naiviris, which was lovely, and I’d love to explore the line a bit more. Thanks!!

Dear Sweet and Generous Perfume Fairy Godmother, Sorry I missed y’all last month but I am back. Leather freak that I am, I’m hoping I can seek a small decant of Cuir Fetiche by MPG. Perhaps , too much to hope for . I will be checking the list to see if there are any wishes I might grant also. BTW I am in Texas, USA. Love y’all!

Hi Georgette,

I’m in Texas too, and I don’t know if you had an amount in mind that you’re looking for, but I have a small amount left in my Cuir Fetiche sample that I’d be happy to send you. It’s probably only about 1/4ml, so I know it’s kind of piddly, but if you’re interested my email is countsjc at gmail.

Dear Fairy Godmother,

I would love a decant of Hermes Jour d’Hermes. I tried it for the first time a few days ago, and I don’t know how I have lived without it. Alternately/also, I would love suggestions for perfumes with lots of sandalwood 🙂 Thanks so much!

Hi Nemo,

You’re welcome to my samples of 10 Corso Como and SSS Cocoa Sandalwood to a good home. Sadly, neither compliment me very well. Hope you’re in the US! If you want them, email me at jpreciose at gmail dot com.

*Closing eyes and wishing* I would like to sniff a sample of Mauboussin’s Histoire d’Eau Topaze (don’t know whether being in Canada would prove to be problematic). Am at a123amos at inbox dot com…
