Contests: 63 posts

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. We have a generous giveaway made possible by Bois de Jasmin’s reader Sara. Sara would like to give away an almost full bottle of L’Artisan Traversée du Bosphore, 3.4oz. It’s fresh, in good condition, without the original box. Sara would like to send it to someone who can appreciate it. Sara can send her package anywhere in the USA (sanitized and well-wrapped, of course).

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. 

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. Have you tried anything new and interesting that you’d like to recommend to others? Or in case that you haven’t sampled much, what are some of your favorite perfumes at the moment?
2. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with Sara?

The contest is closed. The winner is Notturno7. Congratulations! I will contact the winner by email and post their name here.

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. We haven’t had giveaways for a while, but today I am back with a particularly generous one made possible by Bois de Jasmin’s reader D. D would like to give away an almost full bottle of Chanel Misia, 2.5oz. It’s fresh, in good condition, without the original box. D bought it during her violet phase, but she doesn’t enjoy Misia as much anymore and she would rather send it to someone who can appreciate it. Isn’t it so generous!  D can send her package anywhere in the USA (sanitized and well-wrapped, of course).

I would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank our entire Bois de Jasmin community for your generosity and kindness, whether it means giveaways like this, advice or comments that you share. You’re such an inspiration.

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

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

1. Which fragrance do you choose to wear when you are looking for something to lift your spirits during challenging or stressful times? Do you gravitate toward bright, upbeat, citrusy scents? Subtle, calming florals? Something spicy or peppery? I’m looking for a mood enhancer!
2. May I contact you via email to notify you of your win and share your email with D?

The contest is now closed. The winner is Fleurycat. Congratulations!

On days like these nothing is more welcome than the kindness of other people. And here is one such example–Leslie, a Bois de Jasmin reader, wants to give away a part of her perfume collection.  Since there are quite a few bottles, there will be 6 winners. As she says, “I have not worn any of these for years. They just don’t work for me as my tastes have moved into different areas. They’ve been in the back of a drawer in my dresser, and really need to find homes where someone might appreciate them more than I have. It makes me happy to bring a little cheer to someone.” Leslie can send her package anywhere in the world, provided that customs restrictions don’t interfere. Of course, we are not responsible for customs duties, leaks or damage during transit or for lost packages.

Here’s what Leslie is offering:

Xerjoff 1861 Naxos 100 Ml EDP (nearly full)
Nobile 1942 La Danza Delle Libellule 75 ml EDP (2 bottles nearly full)
Noble 1942 La Danza Delle Libellule 75 ml Extrait (nearly full)
Hiram Green Slowdive 50 ml EDP (nearly full)
Hiram Green Dilettante 50 ml EDP (nearly full)
Maison Martin Margiela Tea Escape 100 ml EDP (nearly full)
Maison Martin Margiela Beach Walk 100 ml EDP (nearly full)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Ukraine celebrates these holidays on January 7th and 14th respectively because the Orthodox Church follows the calendar proposed by Julius Caesar. Yes, we hold onto old traditions.

Nataliya of Experience Ukraine and I will lead a tour in Ukraine on June 2-9, 2020, and it will be a chance to discover more about Ukrainian culture, food, and of course, scents. I can’t be impartial, perhaps, but for the past few years I have been traveling extensively in Ukraine and every trip has been memorable. Nataliya feels the same way, which is why we’re so passionate in sharing these discoveries with you.

To give you a little preview, we’re hosting a #ukrainianscentandtasteadventure giveaway on Instagram: my prize will be an English translation of Nikolai Gogol’s The Night Before Christmas, handmade Ukrainian church incense, and linden blossom hydrosol and Nataliya will contribute an antique hand-loomed rushnyk, hand towel. We will select two winners randomly.
