June 2014 Perfume Sample Fairy Godmother

Esperanza the Perfume Fairy Godmother

 

 

Hey, it is time again for the Perfume Sample Fairy Godmother for June 2014.     So here’s how Fairy Godmother works – this post will be open for the entire month of June 2014.   I’ll start a new one at the beginning of July.   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 been the recipient of some kindness, do give back when you can. I know people 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)

    Well, this just stinks. I opened up a phoney UPS shipping notice and got an attack of Ransomeware, Called Cyberwall. It destroyed all my data and PDFs, family pictures etc. And no, I am not supporting this criminal behavior by paying 500 bucks to get my data back. I DO need you all to send your addresses again to jdeangeo at aol dot com. So, I’m calm, things are under control now, all my client’s data was already on their own private external hard drives.

          • leathermountain says:

            Perfect, Merlin. Drop me a line with your shipping info.

            That leaves one more package available for a US address.

            My name does have a double ‘n’ at the end, but the spelling of ‘dawt’ needs changing as its a regular type a gmail account 🙂

          • leathermountain says:

            Hi Merlin, just emailed you.

            Also, pepper moon claimed the remaining samples in my reverse post. Perfect record! 🙂

    Hello June Fairy Godmothers!

    I would love to try anything that smells authentically of coconut – coconut milk, coconut cream, sweetened coconut, etc. Doesn’t matter what format (i.e., perfume oils are fine by me!)

    • cara says:

      I am in the US by the way 🙂

    • JanLast says:

      Cara, I can help with that, as soon as my computer returns from the spa, where it is getting itself pampered. jdeangeo at aol dot com

      • cara says:

        Yay, thank you!! Just sent an email 😀

        • cara says:

          Also, if anyone has any of the following to spare, I would greatly appreciate it: Monyette Paris (EDP sample is most wanted, but I’m open to the oil too); Platino or Madera by Omnia Profumo; Salt Caramel, Amber Rose or pretty much anything by Shay and Blue. Thanks to all of you wonderful and generous fairies!! 🙂

  • Patty Pong says:

    I’m going to change my wish, I forgot Esperanza has a hard time getting Profumum Roma 🙂

    So my NEW wish is something unisex from the Santa Maria Novella line…one of the Acqua one? or Lavanda ones? or perhaps the Santa Maria Novella Classica?

  • Merlin says:

    Hi everyone! I am on a patchouli bender lately and have the following problem. A store here sells Patchouli Leaves by Montale but they do not have a tester of it! I did one blind buy from them and ended up having to sell the Montale half-price:( No blind buys ever again! Does anyone have a sample of this scent, Montale Patchouli Leaves, or any other worthy patchouli would be very much appreciated!

    • Merlin says:

      Forgot my e mail which is merlynn dot edelstein followed by gmail and then dot and com…

  • Apollo C says:

    Hi Fairy Godparents,

    I have been on a sandalwood kick lately, and I was wondering if anyone had access to Musk by Lorenzo Villoresi or M7 by YSL.

    Thank you!

  • Rina says:

    Hello all! I’ve been MIA, and I’ve missed the fun! I’d love to try Kilian’s Vodka on the Rocks if anyone has some. I have lots of samples and vintage to swap. Ask and I’ll see if I have it. Email is rjpsss at verizon dawt net. Thanks!!

  • Andi says:

    Good morning,
    I have hesitated to post a reply here, usually feeling like the odd man out. I know many of you from MUA from a decade ago.
    I have so much to offer, and seek very little.
    Some things I have sampled, and need more of:
    Omnia Platino
    PG Musc Maori
    Nez a Nez Parfums Bal Musque

    And one I am so anxious to try:
    Shay and Blue Salted Caramel.

    • JanLast says:

      Andi, my Shay and Blue samples have not yet arrived, but I will share what I get! jdeangeo at aol dot com

    • JanLast says:

      Andi, my Shay & Blue Salted Caramel sample arrived today. Email me at jdeangeo at aol dot com

  • donnakitt says:

    Hi PFGs. I’m late in replying yet wondering if anyone got their hands on Guerlain’s Muguet 2014, and if so, might you spare a few drops? I loved the sample a PFG sent from a previous year, and am thinking of springing for a bottle of 2014. Would be willing to split if someone is interested.

    Here’s one for you….I was hunting sassafras notes and came across good ol’ Black Phoenix Alchemy. I ordered a couple and received this note:
    Beloved Jan Last,

    Thank you for placing an order with WooCommerce! Your order (#20920) was shipped via USPS, USPS Priority Mail on 6/6/2014. If you are so inclined, you may track your package at any time using the link below.

    I don’t even know who WooCommerce is! I don’t remember ever being hailed as beloved, lol.

    • Civet says:

      Wow. That’s . . . friendly . . .

    • Lynne Marie says:

      It reminds me of Rudyard Kipling tales that begin with ” O best beloved” . Kind of awesome – makes me like BPAL a litlle more…

  • CarolynC says:

    Hello my lovely perfume FGs. I haven’t been around for a few months because I was so overwhelmed by past generosity and wanted to spend time going through samples so I could do some more reverse FG’ing. I’ll list a few things over the weekend. In the meantime, I could use your help locating some Fragonard Reve Indien parfum. Apparently it’s only available in perfume strength in France. Any amount (or leads as to where I can get some) would be most appreciated!

    • CarolynC says:

      Oh my goodness. I just got a bunch of samples from Fragonard. Elia, I have a feeling you are behind this!!! Time for some reverse fairy godmother offerings as promised.

      Six Scents #1-6 (original) 1ml samples

      Imaginary Authors Falling Into the Sea (.5 ml left)

    Dear Fairies,
    my wish is to try a jasmine centric fragrance, where jasmine is the true star,
    I’ve tried a couple and off the top of my head ones I’ve not tried include
    Olene, Jasmine de Nuit, Sarrasins and Tawaf,
    although any suggestion I’ve not tried would be welcome,

  • greennote2 says:

    I recently got to smell but not try Chanel Jersey. Now I’d love to try it. I’d also love to try Serge Lutens’ Encens et Lavande. I’m happy to send samples in return (I’ve been going through my samples – man, it takes some time!). devilish2 atttt y7mail dotttttt com

    • JanLast says:

      I think I can help you out with the Jersey. If anyone else can help with some of the others, you can mail them to me and I’ll ship it in one package. jdeangeo at owl dot com.

  • Draft says:

    This month, I’m obsessed with trying these scents:
    Vagabond Prince – Enchanted Forest (though I’d love to try Land of Warriors and Swan Princess)
    Serge Lutens – Fleur d’Oranger, Tubereuse Criminelle, Une Voix Noire. (white flowers galore!)
    Frderick Malle – Carnal Flower (I’ve tried a drop and I want more to do a proper test)

    My email is carson r aft at gmail dot com. 😀

    • Lynne Marie says:

      Hi Carson,

      I have a smidge of Carnal Flower to send you and some Enchanted Forest as well. I think I still have your address from a couple of months ago, so I can probably send these out today!

  • Patty Pong says:

    Hi Esperanza 🙂 I’d like to try a bit of Acqua di Sale Profumum Roma. Thank you.

  • katrin says:

    Hi Fairies! I’d love to try Marescialla by Santa Maria Novella or Santal Blanc by SL.

  • Lynne Marie says:

    Hi Fairies,

    I’m hoping someone out there can help me with a smidge of Dior’s Oud Ispahan or YSL’s Majestic Rose? I’m exploring roses mixed with oud and these two sound intriguing. My email is clevelandvitz1 at geemail dawt com. I could also use healing thoughts to get me over this cold that has left me without a sense of smell for 2 1/2 weeks now. It’s made me realize what a HUGE part of my life perfume is… I miss sniffing my wrist 8 million times a day 🙂

  • JanLast says:

    As always, I’m after your weird and different, plus any carnations you may want to throw my way! jdeangeo at owl dot com

    • leathermountain says:

      A few ideas, not sure if they’re carnation although somebody must have thought so at one point or another:
      Anais Anais
      Florabotanica
      DSH Poivre (if I can find it — not where I thought it would be but I’ll keep looking)

      And, if you don’t already have it, I can share Vitriol d’Oeillet

      • leathermountain says:

        Oh, and this is weird, all right: Yosh Konig. Personally I can’t stand it, but maybe you want to give it a try?

  • Ashley A says:

    Hi everyone! I would be interested in trying either Etro’s Messe de Minuit or CdG’s Wisteria Hysteria. You all are so wonderful!

    Dear Fairy Godmother,

    I am a perfume newbie and am all agog/obsessed.

    I have recently read all sorts of a-mazing things about Frederic Malle Eau de Magnolia and would love to try it.

    I am also having trouble finding a sample of Aramis Perfume Calligraphy Saffron…I’m interested in saffron in general.

  • einsof says:

    greetings good fairies! i would like, if i may, to take you on a strange journey…. wait… no.. that’s Rocky Horror, sorry. i would like, if i may, to hope for Piguet scents i have not tried, in particular Futur & Bandit.

    For my part, i have a couple of decants of PAN by Anya’s Garden should anyone be interested. 🙂

    thank you Esperanza & the posse!

    • einsof says:

      oh. right. i live on earth. specifically einsof at rocket mail dotty commie.

    Dear Perfume Fairies, some samples I have been dying to try but cannot find……By Kilian Sacred Wood or Imperial Tea and Dior Cuir Cannage. Thank, Esperanza and Patty, and all the lovely perfumistas who love to make others’ fragrant wishes come true!

  • springpansy says:

    Hi fairy godmother(s)!
    It’s a longshot, but I’m looking for a sample of the new Byredo Gypsy Water Eau de Cologne. I’m a huge GW fan and am thinking I might love this for summer. But I definitely can’t invest before sampling. As always, I’d love to reciprocate with something someone else is searching for. debby msrd @ comcastttttt dot netttttt (without the spaces and extra Ts). Thank you!

  • Peppermoon says:

    Hello Fairies! This month, I’m interested in trying anything from Profumum Roma or Parfumerie Generale, two houses that I have never tried. Also, I would love to try anything with Angelica as a note.

    • I might have a little bit of Parfumerie Generale I could send your way. I’ll have to check my samples when I get home to see what all I have. Email me at countsjc in the land of gmail.

  • SallyM says:

    Greetings Fairy Gs!

    I missed the Swapmania as I was away, so I’m happy to see the June FG flitting about!

    This month I would love to try By Kilian Imperial Tea, Valentino Uomo or DSH Le Smoking.

    As always I have heaps o’ vintage to offer in return 🙂

    email is salmack1 at earthlink dawwwwt net

    Thanks in anticipation!

  • edpgypsy says:

    Hello! I was saddened to have missed Swapmania last month while I was out of town, but I am happy to see the return of Esperanza!

    Summer is finally here and I am looking for something that is going to help me feel fresh when it hits the high 90’s! With that being said, I am seeking something from the Guerlain Aqua Allegoria collection since I have yet to try any of those and some of them sound like they might be summer-worthy.

    If that’s not a possibly, another wish that I have this month is to smell Frederic Malle’s En Passant. It sounds summery too!

    My email is my username above in the town of gmail. Thanks and happy June everyone! 🙂

    • Lynne Marie says:

      I can send you a sample of Herba Fresca, which is just perfect for summer and so unusual!! My email is clevelandvitz1 at geemail dawt cahm

    • leathermountain says:

      I’ve got some Flora Nymphea. I’m pretty sure it would be considered fresh. Interested? I’m in hawtmayl, and they call me alederberg.

  • VanessaBL says:

    After last month’s fairy godmothers’ incredible offers combined with swapmania, I think I’m good for this month in terms of samples to try out. However, I would love to ask the godmothers/godfathers out there for something for my boyfriend. He usually wears Bleu de Chanel and Karma by Lush, but he’s looking for something a bit more summery. He tried a few samples we had received from a few orders, and at the moment he likes Chanel’s Allure Homme Sport. I’d like to find him a few other things in similar styles to try, that aren’t too difficult to get ahold of in case he’d like a FB (he’s maybe not as dedicated to fragrances as I am!). I was thinking maybe Voyage d’Hermes or Terre d’Hermes (or maybe the Eau tres fraiche version?), or Dior Homme Sport which I hear are nice, although I’d like to hear your suggestions as well!

    Thanks!

    You can find me in hawtmail at vanie_b_l

  • leathermountain says:

    Happy June, Fairies!

    I’ve caught up with all my domestic shipments, and the internationals are almost out the door. Hurrah!

    For me, June means roses….

    I wish, please, for a decant of Sonoma Scent Studio’s Vintage Rose, or a sample of Rose Volupte.

    I’ve fallen for Vintage Rose, of course, since it is discontinued.

    Rose Volupte was made to replace it, and I’d love to check it out, but the perfumer’s web orders are on hold for the time being.

    If a fairy wanted to redirect me, for example, with Velvet Rose or Rose Musc, which I’ve never tried, then who would I be to refuse?

    • Jennifer Smith says:

      It isn’t exactly what you asked for but — a seller I’ve bought a whole lot from on Ebay has a boxed Coty La Rose Jacqueminot Edp for under $50 ,free shipping too.

      • leathermountain says:

        Thanks, Jennifer. I don’t know that scent. What is it like?

        • Jennifer Smith says:

          I’ll rummage around and put some on later tonight ( after choir practice ) as my memory says this is may be medium- strong fume wise not Bvlgari delicate . It IS a vintage Coty after all. If you are in the US and want a sample of mine first email me your address to bookwyrmsmith at the country of live dawt cahm.

    Hello. I would love to try SL Chene, and anything Benzoin.
    I have some cool vintage things and samples for swapping…
    thanks so much

    • Ashley A says:

      Hi JJ, I don’t have SL Chene, but I do have Prada Candy, which is HEAVY on the Benzoin and smells great. I’d be happy to send you a decant if you’d like! You can contact me at ashleyanstaett at gmail dawt com

      • jjlook says:

        thanks, Ashley. Someone just sent me a sample of Prada Candy, and I’ve been hesitant to smell it for the candy part…you’ve inspired me to sniff it today…

  • I’d love to try Manoumalia. I like a good tropical floral, and it sounds right up my alley. If any lovely fairy godmothers (or godfathers) could spare me even a smidge, I’d really appreciate it.

    Dear Fairy Godmother, I missed the boat on trying White Lilac & Rhubarb by Jo Malone. I would love to try a sample of it. The other that I wish to sample is Comme Des Garcons Blue Santal. 🙂 Thank you so much!!

  • Jaime says:

    I am dying to try the new Frederic Malle Eau de Magnolia! Our magnolia tree just blossomed and I have been unable to pry my nose away from it, so I am excited to see how this perfume lives up, but so far have been unable to find a sample. Thank you perfume fairy godmother!

    • JanLast says:

      Jamie, I have a few magnolia notes, just email me at jdeangeo at owl dot com

    Happy June, Esperanza! I am so wanting and have been looking for Versace’s original L’Occitane Amber EDT and Essence…Also, Ralph Lauren’s Glamorous Daylight or Shimmering Perfume! Many thanks, Cindi

    Hi perfumed fairy godmothers,
    Perfume is a newly discovered passion, and the more I explore and learn, the more wistful I am that I never got to experience older formulations.

    I have only sniffed and sampled new perfumes and my loves are Coco and Shalimar. I am wondering what the older edp versions are like?

    I am hoping a fairy godmother could spare a drop of either for me to sample and compare to my newer versions?

    I am in Canada and my contact is JAIMEtong aaaaaaattttttttt G m a i l. Dott. Com

    Hugs,
    J

    Ooo! Yay!
    Hi Fairy godmothers, I would love the chance to sample Blanc Violette from Histoires de Parfums or Penhaligon’s Violetta. If anyone has any other violet recommendations, I would love to hear them!

    • Sharon C. says:

      Have you tried Sonoma Scent Studio’s Voile de Violette or Wood Violet?

      • Connie says:

        I’ve tried neither, but both are on my test list! They sound pretty great, and I’m a big fan of SSS.

        • Sharon C. says:

          Connie, I can help you with the SSS violets–send me an email at snchamness at msn dot com, and we’ll work out the details.
