Contests: 36 posts

Today have a generous giveaway made possible by Bois de Jasmin’s reader Annette. She would like to give away a full bottle of Chanel Chance, EDP, 3.4 ounces (comes with a box, almost full.) She can send her package anywhere in the US (sanitized and well-wrapped, of course).

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

Annette says, “I received Chance as a gift from a colleague, but it doesn’t suit me. So I would like to find a new home for it.”

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

1. Annette would like to find out what strategies do you have to improve your mood during winter. Do you have favorite scents that boost your spirits?
3. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with Annette?

The contest is open till Thursday. I will notify the winner via email and post their name here.

I would like to thank our entire Bois de Jasmin community for your generosity and kindness, whether it means giveaways like this, advice or comments. 

Today we have an amazing giveaway courtesy to Diana. She is giving away a bottle of Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower (30ml, sprayed a few times only, box included). Diana says, “I bought it last fall at a Frédéric Malle shop in Paris. I tried it a few times, and wanted to like it, but it is a bit too strong for me..”

Diana can ship anywhere in the continental USA.

Please answer all of the questions below to be entered into the draw. I will create two groups and randomly draw one winner from each.

1. One thing that has always interested Diana is the mysterious interplay between scent and memory.
Is there a fragrance that evokes in your readers a particularly intense or nostalgic memory of a long-ago experience?
2. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with Diana?

The contest is now closed. The winner is KatieAnn. I will contact you via email shortly.

I have been processing lots of grief lately as I try to understand what’s happening in Ukraine. I haven’t lived there for years, but it’s the place where I was born and that shaped me, and its pain is my pain. When one feels helpless, the best thing is to reach out to others and help someone else. So I decided to hold a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF.) It’s been a while since I’ve been thinking of this idea and looking for the best way to organize it. This year has been challenging for many people around the world, and I know that our community wanted to contribute. We’ve raised over $5000.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is a reputable organization known for its projects all over the globe. They help with children care, offer help to impoverished communities and those experiencing military conflicts. Their structure is quite lean, so it means that the money, even if it’s a small amount, goes a long way.

The fundraiser ran till June 30, 2022, and the winner is Vincent. However, I will leave a link for those who would like to donate anyway.

The prize for this fundraiser was vintage Coty Chypre.

Today have a generous giveaway courtesy of Bois de Jasmin’s reader Frank. He would like to give away two full bottles: Les Parfums de Rosine Rose Griotte 50ml (in box, sprayed once) and Dior Sauvage EDT 60ml (not in box, sprayed a few times). He can send his package anywhere, as long as the receiver assumes all responsibility for customs formalities.

Even if you aren’t interested in these perfumes, please help Frank with a very important task–what should he give his wife for Valentine’s Day? “She has many perfumes and she spends all of her time collecting more. I used to fight it, but now I myself have a collection that can rival Nordstrom’s. She loves woods, iris, orange blossom, and spices. She doesn’t like anything sweet. She likes tea and candles. I would like something unusual, but I’m out of ideas. Please help!”

We are not responsible for leaks or damage during transit, customs fees, or for lost packages.

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

1. What advice would you give to Frank? What perfume or scented gift would suit his wife’s tastes?
3. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with Frank?

The contest is now closed. The winner is Therese. Congratulations! I will be in touch via email shortly.

Happy New Year! I hope that your year has started off well, and to make it even more so, today we have an amazing giveaway courtesy to Fabienne. The first wonderful part about it is that Fabienne is giving away a bottle of Chanel Gardénia EDP (200ml, 80% full, no box) and Tom Ford Velvet Gardenia EDP (50ml, sprayed a few times only, no box). As you might know, Velvet Gardenia is no longer possible to find, so this is a particularly precious find. As Fabienne says, “these perfumes were gifts. I wore them and tried to like them, but gardenia is not my style. I don’t want to sell them. I want to give them to someone who will enjoy them. I don’t comment often, but I read every post here and I want to give back to Victoria and this nice community.”

The second great part about this giveaway is that although Fabienne is based in the US, she is willing to ship to the US and EU (she can’t ship outside these two zones due to the expense of shipping.) The EU-based winner must accept to wait till late January to receive their prize when Fabienne goes to Europe to visit her family.

Please answer all of the questions below to be entered into the draw. I will create two groups and randomly draw one winner from each.

1. What perfume captures your idea of glamour? What perfume would you like to receive, if you win this giveaway?
2. Are you based in the EU or the US? (No need to specify the country, just the general geographic location to help me organize the draw.)
3. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with Fabienne?

The contest is now closed. The winners are Sara A and Marion. Congratulations! I will be in touch with you via email shortly.
