Hi there Perfume Posse! Portia from AustralianPerfumeJunkie. Thomas is sick still and his nose is TOTALLY gone for the moment. GET WELL BUDDY!
I thought it might be fun to do a St Valentine’s Day GIVEAWAY and what better way to celebrate than with some fragrant time choosing yourself some samples from Surrender To Chance.
What would I get? I’d like to spend some skin time with the new Serge Lutens, yesterday I talkede about the Sample set of Caron Urn Parfums and a couple of vintage loves I’d like to get my sniff on like Deneuve.

Hope I’m not too late! My first choice of things to sample would be By Kilian Imperial Tea or Intoxicated. Thanks for the drawing!
My first sample would be Aomassai. Thanks for the wonderful chance!
Oooh such an awesome giveaway! I think I would love to sample CB I Hate Perfume Black March absolute. Thank you!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have been dying to try out ELDO’s Fils de Dieu or any from Parfumerie Generale…. I’ve been craving gourmands as of late. 🙂
What a generous draw! I think I would like to try something from Frederic Malle. Thank you!
Probably a bunch of Ormonde Jayne. Today I’m having a torrid love affair with OJ Woman.
So many things… I’ve been wanting to try Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, but on the other hand I’m longing for hay scents and fire/burnt wood scents at the moment too… Or maybe Sonoma Scent Studio Winter Woods (even if I want to think about spring rather than winter right now).
Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil would be my first choice.
Definitely some Bois de Iles in the parfum contentration. Il like the EDT, but I hear the parfum is smoother and beautiful!
I have been wanting to try the Chanel Les Exclusifs line, so it would be something from that.
May I join the waiting list for Misia?
I would finally try a selection of Frederic Malle
Oh, this and that Hermes. Yum!!
Sonoma Scent Studio Fireside Intense
Beginner niche fragrance and classic perfume sampler set. Thanks for the generous draw!
Thanks for the opportunity, Portia! My set of Hermessences was stolen from my checked suitcase on my last business trip :-/ I am dearly missing my Amber Narguile, Osmanthe Yunnan, Iris Ukiyoe, and Santal Massoia, so if by some great stroke of luck I won your generous drawing, I would probably get spray decants of two of these to tide me over until I can afford to visit the Hermes website and replace them.
And if I don’t win, I’ll settle for the long arm of karma smiting some exquisitely scented, thieving baggage handler somewhere between National and O’Hare airports.
i have a 40th bday coming up and want to try the various incarnations of chamade,mitsouko and nahema so i know which one and which strength to commit myself to.thanks for the giveaway : )
So hard to choose – probably an older fragrance I haven’t had the chance to try yet. I’m thinking either L’Artisan’s Tea For Two or Chanel’s Bois des Isles. Thanks, Portia!
A big-azz (well, as big as 50 clams will get me) decant of the magnificent alien Iris Silver Mist.
Vero Kern Kiki and/or Imaginary Authors The Cobra and The Canary or maybe… How long have you got? How long is my list? 🙂
thanks for the great offer and happy Feb 14 to everyone
Oh, it’s wonderful to dream… Vero Kirn Rozy, Tango Masque Milano, 33 Idolo, and maybe Mohur by Neela Vermeire. I’m greedy, huh?
The new Mugler ones. and Bougue Maai just to see what all the fuss is about
I’d love to try the new Etat LIbre D’Orange True Lust, or just wait a bit for the new Chanel Misia which I’m sure they’ll be carrying. thanks for draw!
I would order a sample of Chanel Misia if it were available. If not, I would probably try LeLabo Vanille 44. Happy Valentines Day!
Une Rose De Kandahar – Tauer
I would explore the vintage Guerlains and Roja Dove, which have been in and out of my cart several times!
The first thing I would buy is Mamluk, by Xergoff. Am I spelling tha right? I had a tiny sample and must. Have. More. Also, on someone else’s dime, I would probably get some Djedi.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Vintage Guerlains, such as Jicky Parfum, Mitsouko, etc.
I’d get samples of a few Chanel and Guerlain extraits. Never tried any, and I think the time has come. Oh, and I’d also try the new STC perfumes! I love jasmine, and those two sound great, especially the skanky one.
Not sure what I’d pick . Probably would have to make a list and do a drawing to figure out what. Tauer,Amouage,Guerlain, Lutens.or Chanel Exclusives are top contenders maybe Jo Malone or L’Artisan? It’s tough being a fragrance omnivore.
Hope Thomas and Patty get well soon!
I would like to try the STC custom scents done by Dominique Dubrana and the new SL Religieuse if it’s available. 🙂
Ahh, definitely Comme des Garcons series 3, Kyoto.
Vintage Vent Vert!
I am really curious about the Coldwater canyon. The name is so beautiful that the perfume has to be amazing too:)
Aedes de Venustas Copal Azur!
CB I hate perfume: narcissus absolute. impossible to buy in the UK, as far as I can see.
I’ve been on a rose kick recently and I’ve been wanting to try Vero Profumo Rozy…
Hermes Heressence Ambre Narguile….I have sampled this once and need some MORE lovin’!
Tammy Frazer Chapter 2
cheers & happy valentine’s day} more leo buscaglia, please. 😉
L’Air du Desert marocain Tauer
I’d love to try Black Jade by Lubin!
Ambre Nue – amber
Parfums DelRae Wit (for starters)
Après L’Ondée
Serge Lutens – Fille en Aiguilles
I would spend that chunk of change on some Bryedo and/or some Mona Di Orio. Happy Valentines Weekend!
I’d like to try Oud Ispahan or a vintage Dior perfume I haven’t smelt like Diorling or Dior-Dior.
I’m not sure it’s even been released yet, but I want to try Chanel Misia.
Aedus de Venustas Copal Azur would be a good start
So many to choose from, but I’d love to smell Amouage Journey.
