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.

Not sure if anyone is interested but I have some Estee Lauder makeup to swap for ???? Many odd bottles of cologne with scents I don’t use so it will be like a surprise package ;) Trust me on this I am an avid hoarder…. USA postage only. Email me and tell me if you feel like trying this grab-bag!

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:
Gently holding up sign in corner that says “will swap for Vero set if this doesn’t work out”…
Hi Shelley!
Where can I contact you regarding the FM En Passant decant?
Florentina of the Antica Officina del farmacista fragrances that caught your eye or nose…
I can be reached at tkd1 at live dot ca
Florentina, I sent you an e-mail yesterday. If you didn’t get it, contact me by using the contact info you’ll see on my page when you click on my name. :)
Hang on, I think I made an error with the address. Am re-sending now.
Oh, and I do have a set of Vero Profumo samples (in perfume)….
Sounds like a great trade! I’ll email you. I’m happy to send the attars to a good home. They deserve more love.
MUSETTE! (*shrill whistle*) You gotcher TigerFlag attars over here. :-D

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.
Looks like when it comes to the Lyrics, we’ll need to share the fainting couch at the same time. Sending e-mail…

My e-mail begwood at yahoo dot com
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. ;)
you need to talk to Jen – Jen, where are you?
xo >-)
I can knit you a scarf!
clarkadge at yahoo
OMG A SCARF FROM DANTE’S BRA!!! I will SO love answering the inevitable “where did you get it?”
:) I love it. Sending you an e-mail now.
And the Winter Sampler pack is gone. My neck is happy. :)
hmmm, a crocheted scarf? any preferences as to color or overall appearance/material? :-?
Oh, be still my heart…another ready to–ahem–“scarf up” my offer?? :-D You will see above that Dante’s Bra has made an offer which I have accepted.
But I have a big smile on my face and some extra virtual warmth for my neck at the thought of another…

Hi – Late to the party….
I have a couple of bottles that need good homes:
Parfums Delrae Bois de Paradis 50ml less a few sprays
Narciso Rodriguez For Her eau de parfum 50ml less a few sprays
I’d love to swap for Amouage Lyric Woman, Ginestet Botryis, Paestum Rose, Temps de Fete, or any mixed bag’o decants.
Really I’d like to know that the scents will be appreciated.
I’m in Canada.
Hi Bry, I would like to give Bois de Paradis a good home, but I am not sure what I still have to trade that you would like, maybe non-perfume items? Drop me a line at a123amos at inbox dot com if you’re interested — am in Canada too…
Holy Mackerel, Bry, I said I was DONE but I would LOVE your bottle of Bois de Paradis. Can make decants of Paestum Rose and Botrytis and maybe include some other things to balance out the mls?
Email me at alyssa at n s t perfume dot com (no spaces) if you see this and haven’t given away the BdP yet!
Bry, I’d be interested in the Narciso Rodriguez EdP (pink bottle, yes?)
I can swap for a host of Tom Ford Private Collection sample sprays–I’ll sweep what I have, there’s Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Neroli Portofino, Italian Cypress, Arabian Wood. . .as well as samples of Lyric Woman and Temps de Fete. . .if you have interest in samples of the CdG Incense Series, I could round up those as well (there are 5 Kyoto, Avignon, Jaisalmer, Ouazazate, Zagorsk). I’m in the US.
I’d love to swap with you — I’m esp interested in your TF samples and the Temps de Fete. Not to mention the CdG series.
Thanx
Did I read you offering Bal? Thought I saw you offering a FB above in one of the comments. I’d be tempted to skip sweet Narciso for skany Bal a Versailles! :))
Oops. Apparently I can’t spell skanky! Doesn’t bode well for me trying to put on the barnyard musk. I am certainly the musk eater. Sigh. Even MKK is a soft kitten on me.
LOL! Skanky IS hard to spell when you’re breathing hard. Yes, FB of Bal. I eat musk for breakfast. I am lustingfor some MKK, too! Contact me: lorelie dot may at g mail dot com.
I hate separating myself like this.
hiya – I have Narciso Rodriguez for her limited edition (mirror bottle) EDT 100ml if you’re interested…
Hi Hemlock – It is the pink bottle and I’m happy to swap. Please email be at bgsc at rogers dot com so we can figure this out.
The TF samples/Amouage/Le Temps de Une Fete samples are gone. Traded for the Bal. Sorry! Did you have any interest in the TigerFlag Attars. . .or Hmmm. . .I’ll email you some options!
Adding one last bottle Cabotine de Gres EDT 50ml NIB with cellophane

Anyone interested in:
75ml bottle of Escale à Portofino EDT, few sprays gone, with box
50ml bottle of Hermes Elixir des Merveilles EDP, 75-80% remaining, with box

I live in Europe, preferably swap over there. Swapping for fragrance. Love chypres, vintage, don’t mind splash bottles. In my dreams: swap the Guerlains for other Guerlains: vintage Samsara, Vol de Nuit or, in extrait de parfum: L’heure bleu.
contact at: beer at solavirtute dot nl
:(:(
I’m very interested in the Nahema extrait (I’ve been trying to get my hands on that for ages). My swaplist is above – please let me know if there’s anything you would consider an adequate swap. A mini of Patou Cocktail, a partial bottle of vintage Caron Fleurs de Rocaille and an untouched bottle of Léonard Balahé are also still to be had…
My E-Mail is convallia AT yahoo dot com
Can I part with PG Coze? wellllll…I’ve not sniffed DSH Cafe Noir. But I’ll part w my Coze for Le Labo 23.
Maidenbliss,
I emailed you back twice! ;) I’m interested in Coze very much!
Check your email again, Tamara. This is so fun!
Sorry, Maidenbliss, I was looking for all those things…but I have a few very special/rare perfumes i would consider parting with for some Coze, Cafe Noir or Poivre.
PS email me a lauryndb@verizon.net
If ANYONE has any Coty Oeillet, Le Labo Poivre 23, PG Coze or DSH Cafe Noir, I have some special goodies I would be willing to part with for a decant/bottle/whatever….
Demure? But beautiful. I would love this.
Great!! How do we do this?? MUA is Lynne1962 or llnewcomb@hotmail.com
I love Cabochard Gres. What is the Marlene comparable to? I’m looking for some Habit Rouge as well.
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:)
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
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.
Hi Taffy– I offered you Donna Karan Gold in eschange for the Soul Curve– if you are interested, reply to this and we can trade info!:)>-
Mary it sounds wonderful @};- I hope it is sill available
Yay! It’s a deal– e-mail me at mary cain simon at sbc global.net (no spaces, though!) :0)
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.
What the heck. Would you swap Mitsy for this?
http://www.luckyscent.com/shop/section/1/item/12402/brand/10%20Corso%20Como/Corso_Como_Body_Lotion.html
It smells like the EdP.
Thanks March that’s an interesting offer! Can I just see if I get any other perfume offers before deciding?? Realise I am late to the party and live miles away,but you never know….Was hoping for some fellow Southern Hemisphere participants maybe?
Fiona
PS Wore Miel de Bois in the first hot day of our summer and I often think of your blog when I do as you pointed me in direction of a good ebay buy for this hot honey!
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
Serge Lutens Clair de Musc, 8ml
What do you think — would a three-way swap work?
Hah. That’s so absurd I’ll do it. If she’ll take your whatever, I’ll figure out how to mail to Kuala Lampur, if you think I can?
you can – I just did. If your PO gives you flak send it to me and I’ll mail it from here.
xo >-)
Of course, how convenient :)
THIS is what I’m talkin’ bout! What a GREAT (and logistically insane) swap!
;))
xo >-)
It’s no different for you than sending to New Zealand would be. Let’s see what Fiona thinks…
Hey there — sorry, I went ahead and swapped the 10CC elsewhere since she wasn’t interested.
I am also in NZ. I don’t really need more Mitsy or Philosykos but if you have anything else / want to keep in contact or want to exchange samples my email is biffly at orcon net nz. It’s even just nice to chat to a fellow fragrance nut :)
getting swap happy here, but is the Diptyque unclaimed? maybe we can make a trade. am in Europe.
Wow how exciting!
Sorry for delays – work got in the way of the good stuff. I love the 3 way idea, but either have Millicent’s suggestions or have tried and don’t like. Oh how I wish you still had the Paestum Rose! Any other suggestions???
HVS the diptyque is still good to go – I’d be happy to post to Europe depending on what you have to swap?
Kia Ora Lilybug – we should swap samples some time as I’ve got lots…
any emails to fionagordon AT nettel DOT co Dot nz
hi fiona – all emails to you are bouncing back…
So sorry, Fiona. I’ve rummaged around a bit and come up with more — see what you think.
Samples, all full:
Paestum Rose, 1 ml
En Passant, 2 ml
Une Fleur de Cassie, 2 ml
Opone, 2 ml
L’Eau Trois, 2 ml
Tam Dao, 2 ml
Chinatown, almost full and looks like 1.5 ml
And if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work :(
Oh! Mistake on e mail. try fionagordon AT nettel Dot net DOT nz.
So sorry = probably no one left here now….

Do you want to talk on tkd at live dot ca?
Thankyou !
Antica Farmacista! I can decant for you from my bottle of En Passant. And/or bake cookies. And/or a flight of samples of green/grassy. And/or a decant of the iris with violet that is MPG Fleur d’Iris.
Hi Shelley ! Were you interested in any of the 2 fragrances from Florence? You had me at “I can decant for you from my bottle of En Passant”
You can reach me at tkd1@live.ca
Yes, either. Especially Ginger Tarragon. :-D
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…
You can reach me at azzurro lolita(no space required) at hotmail dot com.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful idea ,March !
Hi,
I am interested in your Eau de Merveilles, if still available. I am in England- not much perfume-wise to trade but perhaps we can chat?
Hi FW.!
Of course we can chat,my email is above so you can email me there!
Cheers!
EAU DES MERVEILLES has been swapped!
I would love that Asja — been wanting a bottle for yonks! email me at lauryndb@verizon.net
Hi Mariekel!
sorry but I don’t know if my message made its way to you,just to say that the Asja still awaits you if you still want it,
thanks.
Majmua and whisky. I am going to PM you with a throw it all against the wall list, in hopes of working out something… :-D
Hi Shelley!
I am waiting to hear from Eric(whisky)but the Majmua is still up for grabs,you’ve got my info if you are still interested,
cheers!.
Oh, HO! ho ho…methinks I am going to have to show up on Eric’s doorstep, then. I happen to know he’s going to have some interesting liqueurs, too. ;) Hey, I did send you an e-mail; look it over, and we’ll talk. :)
is that the attar? You’d better let me sniff it! :-w
okay? [-o< xo >-)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Indian-Attar-Oil-4ml-Majmua-/310243408158?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&hash=item483bf2b91e
Hi, this is the attar I bought,I do not know if it’s the same one everybody here knows.
this one is Shelley’s – I’m just gonna bug her for a sniff, once your swap is done!
xo >-)
Yep ,sorry I posted it wrongly:d
Shelley’I’ve checked and there is nothing there,just in case here is my info:azzurro lolita at hotmail dot com(no spaces).
Did you see the link I posted to musette just above?
Ah, I thought you were helping her to find her own, not telling me your wasn’t available for swap.
Is that what you are telling me?
Which is fine, but I’m coming to your doorstep next summer and going to ask for a snort. (Whisky or perfume, whatever… ;) )
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.
Sorry for the misunderstanding again,
Lorena.
NO worries! Okay, let’s try connecting again. You can find my e-mail via the link when you click on my name. I’m going to be away from the computer until late…will try you then. :)
Where is the top hat? I thought someone had a top hat in here to swap?
I can’t find it either … ::eyes bleeding:: I know someone would knit a hat, but I thought there was a Victorian top hat. And/or a caterpillar on a mushroom, smoking a hookah. Which I would totally buy if someone made it a scent.
Oh wow – yes! (The caterpillar thing, not the top hat. Though I guess a top-hat scent could be interesting, too.)
didn’t the Stephen Jones violet whatever scent come in a top hat box?
I think you guys are looking for the comment about the ‘formal hat’ on offer – I looked for it but cannot now find it. Originally in the first 1/3 of the comments before this thing Blew UP!!!
xo >-)
I’m the formal hat offer! Not a top hat though….sadly. Can email photos if interested.
That was my fault, I read it as “top hat.”
Last minute re/post:
Christian Dior Tumulte pour Homme After Shave 100ml
Serge Lutens– L’Eau Serge Lutens 100ml
Balmain Jolie Madame EDT (not vintage) 80% full
Escentric Molecules Molecule 02
Burberry The Beat 50ml EDP
Voluspa Cardamom Fig Room Spray 120ml
Narciso Rodriguez for her limited edition (mirror bottle) EDT 100ml
Will swap for another Serge with more oomph such as Bois Vanilla, Douce Amere, Serge Noire, Fumerie Turque etc, looking for Dior colognes and Homme Intense, Cartier Les Heures samples, also open to other items…vintage clothing etc.
I’m in Europe!
Hmmmmm…. will we hit a thousand comments today? 😮
ah, yeah!!!
and a question for the techies – is there any easy way to copy the whole lot, posts, comments, etc, all into word so one can search for perfumes one wants?
Kim, no need to copy, just push CTL and F at the same time and then you’ll get a bar at the bottom of the screen to type in what you’re searching for. That should find it for you.
I had NO idea, thanks!
Ctrl + F is your friend! I just used it to find my user name so you can see who has responded! Better than scrolling, for sure.
Doesn’t work for my iMac-any suggestions?
if you are in a browser like Chrome, hit Edit, Find to search! Makes all this workable! works on my MacBook).
Thanx! It works like a charm!
8.4oz bottle of 10 Corso Como lotion, folks! I’m in the U.S.
I’m baboozled! Just back in town, reading frantically–late to party is understatement. Will this really end tomorrow? CC still up for grabs?
It’s through tomorrow, although I’m not going to stop anyone from adding to it. What do you have for the 10CC?
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.
Ooh! How about a 30ml decant of some vintage Cabochard EDT? I’m a little afraid of it, it’s so stinky…
oops– clarkadge at yahoo
stinky as in old or stinky in general b/c you are afraid of sex in a bottle?
hehe
Because vintage leathers are so… difficult. I think it’s actually good, just bossy.
True, but I love Cabochard. I’ve put my addy up 2x so if you want to unload it I’ll
swap w you.
Or a 30ml of Fig Tea by PdN.
9I will singlhandedly push this past 1000 comments all by myself!)
lol I’m looking at your name thinking, why do I recognize that? Hmmmm… oh, because we’re doing a swap already!
I have the fig-tea and the cabochard scares me… :-ss
While no one is probably still reading, I found some more stuff to add just in case!
Eau de Rochas 10 ml mini
Crabtree & Evelyn India Hicks Island Living Spider Lily 30 ml bottle, about 25 ml remaining
Decants from Demeter Gingerale, Wet Garden and Hot Toddy
L’Artisan Jatamansi, decant about 3 ml remaining
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.
I’m jasouza9 on MUA, so you can contact me there and see my wishlist or at jasouza9 AT hotmail dot com .
Still have a bottle of Jolie Madame (current), Hanae Mori Haute Couture, Hampton Sun Privet Bloom 10 ml decant, about6-7 ml s remaining, Burberry Weekend for Men, 1 oz. bottle, maybe 1/4 gone?, Eau de Givenchy, 50 ml bottle, about 40% full.
L’Artisan Jatamansi, decant about 3 ml remaining? Still offering?
I’ve got loads of samples, decants, FB of Diptyque L’ EAU Trois. I’m looking for Bois Blond, Santal Noble, 10 CC, Cuir Ottoman.
Btw, I’m in US, willing to do international ship
I do have the Jatamansi – you can email me at jasouza9 AT hotmail dot com if you’re interested or on MUA (I’m jasouza9 there).
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.
Totally random but would you swap Sud for 8 Demeters (7 of them are 30ml, one is 15) or an 8.4oz bottle of 10 Corso Como lotion?
Oooh March, if you don’t end up swapping it away, I’m interested in your Corso Como lotion. Not sure what I could offer you, “the perfumista who has everything” though. :)
Watcha got?
Yes, March, I would swap the Sud for the Demeters. You can contact me at crumplerag at sbcglobal dot com.
DONE! Demeters for the Sud!
March, I gave you the wrong email: it is dot net (not dot com) I guess spelling is not my thing :) If you’ll email me your address, I’ll send you mine and mail yours out Monday. Thanks! This is my first swap!:d
Alice, what might you like for your Camille?
Tommasina, there are a few things on your list that sound good to me. Maybe the Pur Désir de Lys EdT and a few Serge samples?
Alice, I can’t get through on your posted email address. Is it perhaps “dot net” and not “dot com”?
Yes, dot net!! Sorry :”>
OK, now back from my morning doings and will re-send :0)
I’m also interested in the Camille – Most of my stuff is up on MUA (jasouza9) and listed above. You can contact me there or at jasouza9 AT hotmail dot com
Still have a bottle of Jolie Madame (current), Hanae Mori Haute Couture,
Hampton Sun Privet Bloom 10 ml decant, about6-7 mls remaining, Crabtree & Evelyn India HIcks Island Living Spider Lily (30 ml, about 25 ml remaining), Eau de Rochas 10 ml mini, decants from Demeter Ginger Ale, Hot Toddy, & Wet Garden. Burberry Weekend for Men, 1 oz. bottle, maybe 1/4 gone?, Eau de Givenchy, 50 ml bottle, about 40% full.
The Sud and the Camille have been swapped! Now I’m scouring my house to find more to swap! This is fun. :-)
:x well no takers so far i guess my little perfumes were not enough
well, it got pretty niche on here pretty quickly, I think…but we’re up through Monday (right, March? that’s what I’ve been telling folks [-o< so hope springs and all that... xo >-)
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!
The good/bad news is: there are 900+ comments on here, and I think some things just got buried. I couldn’t find your original comment (or mine, either!) I’m leaving this up thru Monday, if you want repost it here at the bottom.
I have scrolled through here twice, and didn’t see you….repost, maybe??
It’s getting hard to keep up! :o)
Hi Taffy–I was thinking the same thing, then a couple of nice people spotted my post and we have worked out some trades. . I wasd born in Fontana, so I always love to see your byline– I will look baclk through and see if I can find your post!:)>-

Talk to me here, or you can email me on MUA. Here’s hoping I can offload all this stuff!
FOLKS WANTING SKANKY BAL — this here white EDC is the one. If it leaks, don’t blame me.:d
Also somebody was looking for that Cartier Dragon’s breath…
I am SO tempted; I have a teeny little mini of Bal and have never been able to figure out what the fuss was all about…but then, Party in Manhattan is merely rich and spicy on me.
I’m interested in the Cartier Le Baiser du Dragon EdP and possibly the Tabu, and I can trade for the Agent Provocateurs ( I think I have three different scents, with only a spray or two used)
BUT…my bottles are in Arkansas, and I won’t be back there til Mid December.
I will certainly understand if someone else can trade with you sooner!
Tammy, that sounds great to me. I have no problem waiting – in fact, it’s better for me to wait, too. I’ll ‘pend’ them or whatever the appropriate term might be. Emailing you now.
I’ve got 5ml of Drama Nuui.
let’s chat about the Stephanotis…?
xo >-)
I read that as “Noel with Bacon” :@)
yum!
I would love to talk with you about Miss Worth…. and the Coty L’Effleur…can we chat?
xoxo >-)
You betcha! Looking up your email right now…
T., I’m sending you a small decant of Agent Provocateur original, so you don’t need that. I am veeerrrrry interested in the Scheherazade, BTW. :-) I can send sumpin’ else too, I’ll look around my stash to see – maybe some MFK Cologne pour le soir?
I need a cigarette…oh, wait–I quit 25 years ago! Never mind.
YOU PEOPLE ARE INSANE. WHOSE IDEA IS THIS?!?
I can’t login but will later.
10 ml travel size of Prada (original), full. I think I have two.
I’d prefer perfume in exchange, and also want to swap in the US only.
Just returned and saw this(!!!)
I have an unopened, Hermes Parfum Des Merveilles refill, .25 Fl. Oz.(7.5 Ml.) I will include the silver (metal!) thingy that the refill fits into.
I would like either Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille; Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille; ‘Artisan Havana Vanille; or, Givenchy Organza Indecence. Not sure if I can do this as I’m late on the scene. Contact: miranda eight eight eight at comcast dot net.
Hi,
I can decant some SDV or Organza Indecence for you. my email is taramonteleone at gmail dot com.
Taken!
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!
lol Chergui, it’s gorgeous on others but waaaay too sweet on me.
have lost track if i already replied to you or not so ignore if this is a repeat. i am interested in the chergui
Yes, I saw your message above. Email me when you get home at tartufi AT gmail DOT com. Are you interested in anything else, in addition to the Chergui?
Kim, I’m sorry, but I got an offer I couldn’t refuse for the Chergui :( Is there anything else that might interest you?
Messe de Minuit, let’s see if we can waltz… :) (sending message)
Tartufi AT gmail DOT com, standing by and ready to waltz…
Coming atcha…
UPDATE: The Chergui, the Santal Blanc and the Clair de Musc are all taken.
UPDATE: The Messe de Minuit has left the building.
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!
Oh Tammy! I wish to God I could help you with this.
Oh that lil’ bebe melts my heart…my youngest is 7 as well, what a precious request!
Please will somebody get these sweet bebes some Kalev chocolate!
Good luck Tammy<3<3<3
Workin’ on it right now with my Estonian friends in Talinn \:d/
Gah – why are the emoticons not working for me?
Oh, goody! Let me know, I was going to put up a general ask on the Posse.
You are just TOO COOL!
xo >-)
I do not have the words to thank you enough, Tommasina !
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!
xo >-)
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. :)
Daniele, thank you, I did try her, but have yet to hear back. Fingers crossed, and thanks so much for your help!
Estonian chocolates DONE!
:0D
^:)^
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!
