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.

First of all, I hope that all of my readers in Texas and their loved ones are safe. You’ve been in my thoughts for the past several days.

I wanted to announce some website updates. You might have noticed that Bois de Jasmin now appears in the secure https format. I hope the change will make it more comfortable place. There is nothing you have to do; all of the redirections from the old site are automatic, but you can always update your bookmarks to https://boisdejasmin.com

I enjoyed our recent tuberose discussion so much that I was inspired to make a couple of sample sets for friends and share my tuberose love. It’s the most extravagant of flowers, and all of us need a bit of indulgence now. For this reason I decided to make an extra set for you. It includes both the fragrances I mentioned in my recent article and a few surprises. Some tuberoses in my set are suitable for men, by the way. Tuberose sample set of 10 perfumes (2ml vials) will be shipped to one Bois de Jasmin reader anywhere in the world (but please don’t hold lost packages against me).

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

1. If you could pick your top 5 favorite perfumes today, what would they be?
2. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win?

The contest is now closed. Dionne is the winner. Congratulations! I will be in touch soon. I will announce the winner’s name in this spot this week.

Today we have a giveaway thanks to one of our readers. Natalie offers to send one of you a bottle of Etat Libre d`Orange Jasmin Et Cigarette (50ml, 3/4 full, original packaging). She decided that it no longer feels right for her, but she hopes that it might find a new home. Natalie is in the USA, but can send her bottle anywhere, provided it will be possible given the restrictions on shipping alcohol. It’s her 4th of July gift to us. Happy holiday to all who are celebrating!

It goes without saying that we are not responsible for leaks or damage during transit or for lost packages.

In celebration of Memorial Day, one of our generous readers is hosting a giveaway. Monica has a selection of perfume decants and samples that she no longer needs and she would like to send it to someone who might like to sample more widely but is constrained by their circumstances. In the lot, there are 16 different samples of niche and prestige perfumes from houses like Chanel, Guerlain, L’Artisan, Naomi Goodsir, Malle, Givenchy and Paco Rabanne.

Monica doesn’t mind sending worldwide, but it goes without saying that we are not responsible for leaks or damage during transit or for lost packages.

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

1. Please recommend your favorite perfume with rose notes to Monica. The only thing is that she wants “something spicy and incense-y.”
2. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win?

The contest is now closed. The winner is Kath. Congratulations! I will contact you via email.
