Today we have a generous giveaway thanks to Stephen, one of the Bois de Jasmin readers. Stephen has a set of by Kilian samples that he tried and no longer wants and he would prefer to sent it to someone else. The set comes in a velvet black pouch and it includes 10 x 0.05 oz/ 1.5 ml samples: Love, Liaisons Dangereuses, Forbidden Games, Straight Heaven, Back To Black, Playing With Devil, Voulez-Vous Coucher Avez Moi, Moonlight In Heaven, Intoxicated, and Black Phantom. According to Stephen the samples are mostly full, only Straight to Heaven, his favorite, is half-full. Stephen is in Germany but he can send his package anywhere, provided the customs restrictions don’t interfere.

We are not responsible for custom duties, leaks or damage during transit or for lost packages.

To participate, please answer these questions. I will randomly draw one winner.

1. Stephen would like to know your recommendation for a fragrance suitable for someone who likes lavender, green notes, woods, ambers, moss. He doesn’t like sports colognes, Cool Water or too much citrus.
2. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with Stephen?

The contest is closed. The winner is Jennifer Z. Congratulations! I will contact you via email.

Today we have a generous giveaway thanks to Annie, one of the Bois de Jasmin readers. Annie won a contest I offered last year, and in the spirit of sharing her passion for perfume, she would like to send one of you a sampler of her favorite floral perfumes. “I’m a flower girl, and I wear almost nothing else. Sometimes people think that floral perfumes are boring, but I don’t believe it. My sampler includes 10 different perfumes from niche and department store brands like L’Artisan, Chanel, MPG, and Lutens,” says Annie.  Among the samples are Serge Lutens Nuit de Cellophane, Chanel Gardenia, Marc Jacobs pour Elle, Guerlain Tiare Mimosa, L’Artisan Nuit de Tubéreuse, and the rest will be a surprise for the winner. Each sample is 1ml, in a glass vial. Annie is in the USA but can send her package anywhere, provided the customs restrictions don’t interfere.

Thank you very much, Annie! The contest is now closed. The winner is Mona. Congratulations. I will contact you via email and will get you in touch with Annie.

Today we have another great giveaway from a reader who would rather find a new home for her perfume than to keep them unworn and unloved in a cupboard. Maria would like to give away three bottles: a 50ml bottle of Chanel 19 EDT, a 100ml bottle of Chanel 19 Poudré and a 100ml bottle of Prada Infusion d’Iris EDP. She will send it all to one person. As she says, “They are all almost full. I used to like them a lot, but I’m pregnant and I can’t stand them anymore. I know from experience (this is not my first pregnancy), that I won’t be able to stand them during breastfeeding and that I would prefer to use colognes and light sprays during this long period of time. So I prefer to give them to a happy new home between your lovely community  of readers :-). I live in Canada, and I could send the bottles almost everywhere, depending on international restrictions.”

In order to enter the giveaway, please answer the following questions for Maria:

1. “Can you please give suggestions about colognes, natural sprays or eaux fraîches? Until now, the only ones I’ve found beautiful during pregnancy were Guerlain Eau de Cologne du Coq, Sisley Eau de Campagne (before reformulation), and Monsillage Eau de Céleri. I can’t stand sweet and gourmand smells, neither white musks (I think that’s the problem with Chanel 19 Poudré for me now), but I think green and aromatic scents would be good.”
2. What perfumes make you feel confident, serene, calm and peaceful? This would be useful for a new mom!
3. If you’re a winner, can I contact you by email and share your email address with Maria?

As always, we are not responsible for customs fees or lost or damaged packages.

The winner is Jaime. Congratulations! I will contact you shortly.
