Esperanza the Perfume Fairy Godmother
Hey, it is time again for the Perfume Sample Fairy Godmother for November. So here’s how Fairy Godmother works – this post will be open for the entire month of November 2013. I’ll start a new one at the beginning of Deember. For those of you new or that need a reminder of how this works – in comments you can list one or two things 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. We have some amazing Fairy Godmothers that show up every month, granting wishes right and left. If you’ve be a recipient of some kindness, do give back when you can. I know people that have gotten wishes granted, and every month they comb through the posts trying to find one or two people they can help out, and it just makes my heart happy. 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 sometimes play Perfume Posse Fairy Godmother and go through the list 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. 
So what is it that your heart desires? (pulling out wand from the back of the closet and blowing off an inch of dust)
Hi, all. I’m putting this on both the November and December fairy lists. Smelling and thanking are the great parts of fairying. So, I’ve sent this message:
I think this is the package you sent. If not, I have made a mess of my samples. Please let me know, argggghhhh!
The most unusual thing happened when I sprayed the Azagury (It’s not even added to the spreadsheet yet). Suddenly I was in a place I’d been before, probably before we returned to the US. I got the lovely ginger at the opening, and copying from Fragrantica “Himalayan jasmin, rose from Morocco, ylang and datura”. The only place I can think of is the Royal Botanical Gardens. It was almost spooky. I’ll be re smelling until it gets figured out.
First time for smelling the Helmut Lang. It is something! Not too much of anything, not too sweet to wear, I’m not getting the woody, but rich floral and musk.
CDG Energy C Lime? Taking it to Puerto Rico with me. It’s cheerful, really Limey and fun.
L’Artisan Safran Troublant is on my just ok list. Traverse du Bosphore is very wearable, but gets a little sweet on me.
Montale Crystal Flowers was a BIG ROSE, lol.
Thanks so much for the samples, the top two may become FBs.
If this was you who sent these, please let me know so I can thank you personally. jdeangeo at aol dot com.
I’d love to try any and all of the following:
Sycomore
SL Muscs Koublai Khan
SL Santal de Mysore
Marc de la Morandiere Gengis Khan
If any fairy out there can wave their wand my way. 🙂
My address is the name you see above and is in gmail town.
Hi I’m new to this here but I’m going to give it a shot. I’ve worn Prada Amber for 8 years now and I’ve read here that this is an amber perfume on training wheels. I love the smell of it and I’m wondering if there is something else out there that might be even better. If anyone knows what I can try or send a sample I will be forever grateful and do my best to keep checking to return the favor. Thanks……I love this site!! You can email me at lisa @ regal gourmet snacks dawt cawm no spaces.
Lisa, when I return I’ll be happy to send you some ambers. jdeangeo@aol.com
Reverse fairy godmother offerings:
Penhaligon’s Malabah 5ml decant
Houbigant Orangers En Fleurs 3ml decant
Guerlain L’Heure de Nuit 3.5 ML decant
Shipping to US only. Post office gets crazy this time of year so don’t have time to deal with customs at the moment.
Oh I’d love to try the Malabah & the Houbuagnt Orangers En Fleurs please. My email is lejmoorman at gmale daut kom. I’ve never tried any frags by Penhaligon.
Hi Carolyn. I can make a happy home for your L’Heure de Nuit. Sending you a line. 🙂
Realize I’m very late to the party this month, but I’d be very thankful if Esperanza could provide me with a taste of either Carpathian Oud by Liz Zorn or perhaps some Balalaika by Lucien Lelong?
Hi Carolyn – I’ve got your Balalaika and would love to try the L’heure de Nuit. My email is shuvanidev at yahoo dawt com – thanks!
Hi everyone, I have been a good Fairy godmother, so now I would love to try my luck. I would love to get a sample or a decant of Jo Malone Bitter orange & Chocolate, Blue Agava & Cacao or Ginger Biscuit. I live in Sweden so I hope someone will ship to Europe.
I’m getting nervous this month is flying by and my early request was probably asking for the impossible, so I’d like to make a new one.
I would welcome any used Bond bon bons you find distasteful. I would like to try the unisex and non-florals the most.
Thanks. 🙂
Hi Patty,
I can send you some Bonds – email me at clevelandvitz1 at gmail dawt com. 🙂
Greetings, Fairies!
It’s past mid-month, but Lej has inspired me to go ahead and put up my reverse post, so, I have up for grabs samples of:
Missoni x 2
Weil Bambou
Agonist Arctic Jade
Alien
Caleche EdT
Comptoir Vanille Abricot
Les Senteurs Vanille Bourbon
Czech & Speake Neroli
Mecheri Peau de Peche — Jamie, are you sure you don’t want my smidge? I haven’t heard from you so far.
Exceptional x 2
Taste Delicious
Bulgari Pour Homme apres rasage packet
Any takers? Claim whatever you’d like, and leave me your contact info.
I’d love to claim Alien and Agonist Arctic Jade, if you are okay with shipping over the pond?
My email’s edwardnr17 at gmail dawt com.
Sure thing, Edward. Just emailed you.
Hi! I would love to try the Missoni, the Mecheri Peau de Peche, and the Neroli, thanks so much! My email is shuvanidev at yahoo dawt com
Great! I just emailed you.
Oh, I forgot to ask – what is the Taste Delicious? Thanks!
I don’t know, to tell you the truth. There was a recent consolidation project that took place in my domicile, and some cards from carded samples were sacrificed to the cause. It’s in a pink-tinted vial with a pink plastic cap. It looks like the sort of thing that FragranceX or its kin would throw in for free with an order. Smelling from the vial, I’m getting cotton candy, but don’t take my word for it! Would you like to check it out for yourself?
Sure, why not! :)) I have a feeling it might be Jessica Simpson Taste, but it could be a Gale Hayman thing too, so, yes, I’m always up for delicious 🙂
I’m thinking Jessica Simpson too, now that you mention it. I appreciate your open-minded approach to all things delicious.
Still up for grabs, if there’s anyone who would like to take the rest of the lot?
Missoni
Weil Bambou
Caleche EdT
Comptoir Vanille Abricot
Les Senteurs Vanille Bourbon
Exceptional x 2
Bulgari Pour Homme apres rasage packet
Updated up for grabs, for anyone who might like all of it?
Missoni
Weil Bambou
Caleche EdT
Exceptional x 2
Bulgari Pour Homme apres rasage packet
I’ll take the rest– am always willing to sample random things. My yahoo address and screen name are the same

Thank you!! I’ll email you now.
I’d love to try Guerlain Cuir Beluga. (USA)
Nevermind! Found it elsewhere.
Having a smelly evening tonight, such lovely things you’ve all sent me. The evil fairy who sent the Tom Ford Amber Absolute, it is heaven! I bought some more. The CDG play black, right up my alley! And the odds & unusual, such a good time. Just thought I’d take a sec to say thanks. I think I’ve emailed you all, but you never know.
Dear Fairy Godmother, I would love to sample Bombay Bling and My Indian Childhood (DS Durga) Dying to try at any amount. (USA)

Email is jmarenw attt earthlink dawt net Thank you!
Sorry Annie, goofed up the post and replied to you and not Gwen. Oops????
leathermountain, I have your package all done up, just need your mailing address. Perhaps I’ve misinterpreted your disguised email address. Can you try another variation? I’m a bit slow…
Gwen, my apologies, I’ve been so slow to reply. I’ve now gotten your message and written back. Thank you again! lm
Hi Gwen, I’d like to give the Givenchy Dahlia Noir and Caldwell Massey Sandlewood a try if they are still available.
Email is jmarenw attt earthlink dawt net Thank you!
I would be grateful for a small amount of Phaedon- Rouge Avignon
thanks to all fairies
Dear Perfume fairy godmother, I would like to sample some Bvlgari Omnia and anything by Margiela. Can it be done? best wishes
Hi JJ — I can hook you up with some Delrae Amoureuse. Be careful when you wear this bombshell — it is only the sexiest scent ever bottled!
Hi, I’ve swapped on the NST swap meet but never here… I’m relatively (?) new to the rabbit hole.
I’d love to try a decant of Patchouli 24 and/or Amarinthine, and any DelRae. In exchange I have vintage-y/discontinued things to offer…I’m an inveterate thrifter/estate sale hunter etc. Email me through the gravatar
Sent you an email (and called you JJ so hope that’s right).
of course it’s all right! emailing you back now…
Does anyone have an equivalent suggestion for Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin by Guerlain? I would love a sample and suggestion to try another fragrance of similar essence. Another fragrance that seems to blend well with my chemistry is Angel, yes I realize this is not a “sought after” fragrance but since I’m a newbie it’s all I know. Perhaps with this knowledge the fairy Godmother could make an informed suggestion as each one has hints of cacao. Thank you! rondarita at g male dot calm.
Hi Rhonda – I’ve been thinking about this since I saw this post. I too really love ECGC and Angel, and also am a fan of the gourmand group….. there is nothing just like ECGC, but wondering if you’ve tried Worth Courtesan, Aquiste Anima Dulcis, Montale Chocolate Greedy, Profumum Roma Battito D’Ali, Comptoir Sud Pacifique Amour de Cacao, or any of the Demeter’s? I have a tiny bit of CSP Amour de Cacao I could send you to try if you’d like. I also have a little Mistral Nirvana (which is like a sophisticated Angel), and a little Laboratorio Olfativo Alambar (which is more ambery, but has a little chocolate vibe). I also have a bit of Al Rehab Coco Musk attar that is said to be a lot like Chocolate Greedy. I’ve tried the others and like them, but I used up my samples 🙁 If you are interested in what I do have email me at: shuvanidev at yahoo dawt com
Rhonda, I forgot one, have you tried Masaki Matsuchima Mat Chocolat, it’s light but it has that floral chocolate thing going on, I have a tiny bit of that too if you are interested.
gads, my fingers are just not working right today – it’s Matsushima not Matsuchima, whatever….. 🙂
Thank you, I’ll email you. Wow so many suggestions, truly appreciative!
I would love to try something from the Lord’s Jester line. All those fumes named after Greek gods. Are they still available?
I’d love just a smidge of Penhaligon’s Iris Prima. You can contact me at somerss at gmail dot com. 🙂
I’ll put my wish here, who knows what might happen. 😉
I would love a small sample of JAR’s Bolt of Lightning.
I would love a sample of Monegal’s pure Mariposa. No Neiman’s near me and definitely not a blind buy at $185!!! thanks FG.
Dear Perfume Fairy Godmother, I would love to try Kenzo Jungle L’Elephant or Heely Cuir Pleine Fleur. Thanks all
Hi Maren, I can send some Jungle over. 🙂
Contact me at inesstef at gmail dot com
Thank you Ines, sending you an email!
Hi Maren,
I can help you with the Cuir Plein Fleur. My email is clevelandvitz1 at gmail dawt com.
Hi Lynne Marie, sending you an email, Thanks!
Dear Perfume Fairy Godmother,
This month I am still heavily into incense, and also exploring amber’s. These are on my list – Juozas Statkevisius, HdP Ambre 114, L’Occitane Eau d’Iparie and Hermes Ambre des Merveilles – I would be thrilled with even one of these. Thanks so much! My email is shuvanidev at yahoo dawt com
I’ve got a sample of Hermes Ambre des Merveilles you can have. Emailing you…
Thank you so much!
Dear Perfume Fairy Godmother,
This month, I am looking for a small decant (5mLs) of Annick Goutal Vanille Exquise. I would like to work out a swap for an equitable exchange.
Dear Perfume Fairy Godmother –
I would love to try Ashoka by Neela Vermeire. If not that, then I’d love to try L’Heure Bleue EDP.
Thank you very much.
Hi, Martha! I can help you on the Ashoka — I have a partial sample if you’d like to try it. I’m at perfume (no space) annie at g mail dawt cawm
Martha, I can send you a sample of L’Heure Bleu EDP. I’m at 4321Lauren @ gmail dot com.
Dear Fairy Godmother, I’d love it if you could grant me a sample of CBIHP November Absolute. Failing that, a sample of HdP 1740 Marquis de Sade would be great too.
Hi Jennifer,
I can help with the HdP1740 – My email is clevelandvitz1 at gmail dawt com
Thanks! Just sent you an email.
I would love to have a sample of the original Carolina Herrera which has been reformulated. I’ve tried Creation by Ted Lapidus, which is close but lacks the kick. I’m also looking for an unusual violet fragrance. Thanks everyone.
Hi Egeria – Have you tried Alexander McQueen Queen, Caron Aimez-Moi, Thierry Mugler Violette Angel, Baleniaga Le Dix, L’Artisan Verte Violette or Parfums Berdoues Violette de Toulouse? I also have some Smell Bent Violet Tendencies – which is extremely weird, but mostly leather and not violet 🙂 If there are any here that you’d like to try email me at: shuvanidev at yahoo dawt com
correction, that should be Alexander McQueen My Queen, sorry….
I wish for some Rose Nacree du Desert
Dear Fairy Godmother,
I am looking for the gourmand to end all gourmands. I would love to try People of the Labyrinths Luctor et Emergo or anything else to sate my gourmand craving?
Have you ever tried Botrytis by Ginestet? I have a sample for you if you’d like it. Email me at marthadotmcphail10 at geemail dawt com.
Thanks, Martha! Emailing you now…
Lynn Marie, I’m shooting you some stuff. Is it gourmand? I’ll let you decide, lol.
And I’m gathering up a group of “weird ones” for you, Jan 🙂
I would like to try anything from Divine or Memo this month
Are you still interested in the Possets samples from October? I emailed you, but maybe the email got lost somewhere. Let me know!
Yes please. I’m at the same address if you still have it
I can send you a bit of Divine by Divine if you like. It is gorgeous!
Hi, would you be interested in a sample of Memo Lalibela? Let me know.
Dearest Fairy Godmother,
Three years ago I splurged on a bottle of Guerlain’s Charnel Coaquin (spelling may be off). Words cannot describe the attention this fragrance graced me with and I have craved it ever since. If any fairies out there would be kind enough to make me feel like a princess again, I would love it! If any scent-ual experts could advise me on a less expensive version with similar notes it would be greatly appreciated. rondarita at g mail dawt com.
Could any of Esperanza’s helpers spare a sample of Ormonde Jayne Woman? I’ve heard so many good things from its fans and am eager to try it. Please email me at patricialschneider AT yahoo DAWT com. Thanks! (P.S. I’m located in the US).
Dear perfume fairy,
I would love a decant of Keiko Mecheri Peau de Peche or a pretty iris perfume (Heeley, The Different Company…anything but Prada infusion d’iris!)
Thank you.
Jamie,
I’ve got you on the different co iris and iris ganache if you’d like a smidge of that
Thanks for the offer. I’d like to take you up on both. Email sent!
Hi Jamie,
I’ve got a tiny smidge of Peau de Peche for you. Would that do, or are you only interested in a larger decant? If you’re interested, contact me at a l e d e r b e r g attttt ji-male
oops, I meant hotmail!
Jamie, I can send you VC&A Bois d’Iris if you’d like. Wooddogs3 awt gmail dawtcawm, please put something about perfume in the subject line.
Argggghhhh! I just finished shipping the Octobers, lol. Hope to do better this month. As usual, I am after your strange and odd scents, the unloved and the different. Barring floods, new furnaces and major dirt upheaval, it should be workable.
So how about “Noble” by a company named “Pulchri Tude”? Men’s scent made in China. Not unpleasant but ….. odd.
Great name, dinazad! Where does one find a men’s scent made in China these days?
Ye wonders of the internet and obscure auction sites…. 😉
I would love to try it! This month’s post has so many I’ve never heard of, much less smelled! jdeangeo at aol dot com!! Thanks
I seem to have a problem getting a mail to your address. Could you mail me at convallia-at-yahoo-dot-com?
Hi Fairy Godmother, I’m a newbie and having so much fun learning about the world of scent. Not exactly a November scent but does anyone have a smidge of Guerlain Muguet? A whiff of muguet is a godsend when it gets down to -15 below here. I know it’s insanely pricey but would be a real treat. I’m also interested in trying anything by Mona Di Orio. I promise to give back when I grow a collection. xox
Donna, we can help you get a start on your collection, just email me at jdeangeo at aol dot com
Hi Donna, I can send you a smidge (I only have a smidge, otherwise I’d send more) of Guerlain’s Muguet, and I can send some MdO Ambre, if you like. My email is heather.elizabeth.freeman at gmail 🙂
I would love to try any of the following Chanel Les Exclusifs, which somehow I have not got around to- Coromandel, Beige, Rue Cambon, or Bel Respiro. Thank you darling perfume fairy godmother.
Hi Connie,
I have a sample of Coromandel I can send you – my email is clevelandvitz1 at gmail dawt com
Hi Connie, I can send you a bit of Beige and Rue Cambon. My email is heather.elizabeth.freeman at gmail 🙂
Esperanza you always do right by me. I am looking to try for the first time either Invasion Barbare or Dior Eau Sauvage EdP. Thanks. 🙂
Last month, the fairy godmother was very good to me and sent me some samples of my request, Amouage Memoir Woman. As fate would have it, I fell madly, deeply in love. My request this month would be, if anyone has an unloved decant or partial bottle of Memoir, I would swap very generously. Seriously, whatever you want, hopefully I could be your fairy godmother and grant your wish, as well.
In my haste, I forgot to include my contact info. It is holiday 322 AT hawtmail (spelled the obvious way) DOT com. Thank you, wish-granters!
Sweetie, why wouldn’t you ask me to swap for some, after sampling? Sending you an email right now….
Though, if anybody does indeed have a partial bottle to swap with Holly, please do reply to her post, as I can only part with a small decant at this time.
Thank you, Lisa! 🙂
Hey Lisa D. I believe I owe you some Magazine Street. October post comments were closed before I could reach out and ask you to send me your e-mail address. Have it packed up and ready to go so please e-mail me at bogsc at aol dawt com.
I would love to trade 7 random niche samples for 7 random niche samples. Anyone want to be random with me?
Sure Masha, I’ll give it a whirl! . my email is clevelandvitz1 at gmail dawt com
Can I play too? My screen name and yahoo address are the same
Yes, two would be fine. I’ll email!
Dear fairies,
I’d like to try The Party in Manhattan this month if possible,
ty
Elia, I have a tiny decant of Party in Manhattan and just tried it for the first time tonight. Love at first sniff. Will see if I can manage to squirt a little in a sample vial. if so, I’ll put it in package I’m still making up for you. Carolyn
Dear Perfume Fairies!
I wasn’t lucky last month.
In November I’d like to try Penhaligon’s Iris Prima or any of the Prada Exclusives. Eventually Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac will do the trick.
I did offer some of Field notes from Paris as a sweet tobacco scent last month actually, eliared a][ zoho !}ot {[om if you want it.
I was meant to reply to you but it slipped out of my mind. I tried Field Notes, but it’s not my kind of thing.
Anyway – thank you.
okay, I thought it might be perfect
I can send you the Iris Prima,lucas.
email me at sabinedotcornicatgmaildotcom
Hello, all! 🙂
I have yet to sample a high-end, niche patchouli, and there are so many I hear raves about. Montale Patchouli Leaves, L’Artisan Patchouli Patch, Jalaine, Serge’s Borneo, etc. I’m a patchouli fiend but I feel like I’m missing out on so much! So my request for the fairy godmother would be a sample of one of those divine patchoulis. (I’m particularly interested in Borneo 1834, given that I also love a good cocoa/chocolate note in a fragrance, but I’m not going to get picky at all.)
I can help you with the Borneo – e-mail me at convallia-at-yahoo-dot-com.
Me again. Sorry FG — I think I goofed above by inadvertently posting as a reply to someone else’s thread. I was hoping to get my paws on some CDG Hinkoki, even a small decant. Failing that, I would love to try Mona di Orio Violet Fumee and/or What we do in Paris…Liquidnight. Many thanks, darlings!
I have Hinoki, pls email me at cazaubon at me dot com!
Yippee! Thank you so much — just emailed you.
Dear Perfume fairy, I love Amorvero . I wish I could afford a bottle, but as I am on a limited income that’s not possible, but a decent decant would be lovely. Also, La Myrrhe, by Sege Lutens. Its discontinued and hard to find. Those are my present wishes, but perfume people always have new ones, don’t we!
Dear winged ones 🙂
Being a tea lover I am intrigued by tea perfumes, yet shamefully have not tried any so would greatly appreciate any generous offers to help remedy this. I will be looking through all of the requests to see if I have anything I can send to reciprocate.
I think I have a few tea fragrances I could let you have — Esteban Tourbillon, one from Memoire Liquide, perhaps another that is escaping me…if those are of interest, they are all yours!
oooh thank you! I’ll gladly accept anything you are kind enough to share. My email is salmack1 at earthlink dawt net
Hi Sally, have you tried Bulgari Black? If not I could send you a sample — my email is elisagabbert at gmail
Hi Elisa – I will email you! Thanks so much 🙂
Sally, I think I may have a few also, jdeangeo at owl dot com.
Sally, this is off topic, but last night I had the very good fortune of having Charlie Trotter’s Darjeeling Tea & Ginger Cured Smoked Salmon while down here in Florida. Also had cocktails with fresh tangerine juice. Wonderful!
Hi all! I’d love to try HdP 1889 Moulin Rouge, Roja Dove Diaghilev, or anything from Parfums de Marly or LM Parfums, if anyone has anything to spare. Thanks for yet another month 🙂
Hi Heather,
I got you covered for HdP 1889 Moulin Rouge and Roja Dove Diaghilev. I have your mailing address 🙂
Hajusuuri
Heather, I think I can spare a little bit of LM Parfums Vol d’Hirondelle and Noir Gabardine for you.
I think I might have a smidge of something by Parfums de Marly, if that would interest you, eliared a][ zoho !}ot {[om
Dear Esperanza,
I’d like to gift/swap this month, if possible. To gift, I have 2 ml carded samples (1 ea) of FM Lipstick Rose, Iris Poudre & Une Rose. Then I have 4 fbs I’d love to swap (don’t need fbs in exch): AG Vetiver edt (1 oz); First de VCA edp (2 oz); Silences splash bottle (1.7 oz) and vintage (1990s-early 2000s) Mitsouko edt (1 oz). Like green florals, bwfs, chypres…just try me! crln456 at gee male.
Hey Caroline — I would love to try Lipstick Rose and Une Rose — it is hard to believe they have been around this long and I have still not tried either!
Could I have Iris Poudre?
Hi Caroline, I’d love to try the AG and one of the Silences – devilish2 a t y7mail !)ot [om
Dearest of all the Perfume Fair Godmothers,
I have been reading up on and am intrigued with CB I Hate Perfume. I would love the opportunity to try something from this house. I think I have been a good girl this month. Hopefully I will be even a better girl when I see something that someone is looking for that I can help with! 🙂
I can help with some CBIHP Russian Caravan Tea. E-mail me at bogsc at aol dawt com.
edpgypsy, I have quite a few CB samples I’d be glad to send to a good home! Shoot me a line at louisa dot white at gmail (dot com).
Oh how exciting! Thank you! Emailing now! 🙂
Dear Perfume Fairy, I would love to try Dior Mitzah! I’ve seen it suggested to people who love many of the same fragrances I do, so it’s at the top of my sampling list right now.
And if anyone is interested, I have a few barely used 5ml bottles (Cat Lady, Bibliophile, Sugared Violets) from Long Winter Farm to send all together to a new home, along with a bon bon of Bond Perfumista Avenue.
I have been craving CDG Hinoki for a while and would love a decant if any generous spirits could bear to part with any.. Would also/alternatively love to try Mona Di Orio Violet Fumee and What we Do in Paris…Liquidnight.
Hi Amy – I can help you with some Mitzah – one of my favorites! Could I try some of the Long Winter Farm Sugared Violets and/or Bibliophile? Thanks! My email is shuvanidev at yahoo dawt com
Thanks so much, Mary! I’m emailing you now, and the LWF bottles are yours.
Thanks Amy!
I would love a sample of Enchanted Forest by The Vagabond Prince and Tom Ford’s Jasmin Rouge!!
Hi Roseanne, I can help with the Enchanted Forest sample–my email is heather.elizabeth.freeman at gmail 🙂
