Can't possibly resist a free bottle of perfume! :)

I never bought fragrance but would give this to a friend.

Most recent fb was Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur unsniffed for a steal on ebay. Love it.

I can't resist a free bottle of perfume, either. :) I bought Roberto Cavelli Oro at TJMaxx on clearance a few weeks ago, after hearing some nice things about it on MUA. It's creamy/spicy; reminds me of Poivre Piquant. Thanks for the opportunity!

My last full bottle purchase was actually two at once - 2 x 50ml of Mary Greenwell Plum. Thanks to a lively interest on the swap scene, I am down to my last 20ml, would you believe, in just a month!

My last full bottle was Frederic Malle Carnal Flower, so now I'm on a no-buy for a while. :) Thanks for a giveaway!
Posted by: Susanna | February 17, 2011 at 08:37
My last purchase was Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia, full price, shame on me! :) But I wanted it so desperately, I wasn't able to wait until some sale event or so, and got it from department store as fast as I could.
Posted by: Irina | February 17, 2011 at 08:43
I think this sounds like a nice, cheerful scent and I'd love to win it! My most recent bottle purchase was a vintage Evening in Paris, which I think should be in every collection. And now it's in mine. :)

Last full bottle I bought is the beautiful Vol de Nuit by Guerlain. Thank you for this opportunity and for your generosity.
Posted by: Lorelie | February 17, 2011 at 08:52
Well my last full bottle purchase was D&G Rose The One for my niece, but my next purchase is for myself - Balenciaga Paris. I have really fallen for it.
Thanks so much for the giveaway. I am a big fan of EL fragrances,
Posted by: KathyT | February 17, 2011 at 08:55
My last purchase was for Clinique's Aromatics Elixir. I could use a bottle of this one, though!!!
Posted by: [email protected] | February 17, 2011 at 08:58
That is certainly a policy in favour of all of us :) My last full bottle of perfume I bought was Missoni. I have been hunting it down in the outlet stores. I did just buy a bottle of Britney Spears Circus for a friend last night, but I'm not counting that here.
Posted by: Lisa | February 17, 2011 at 09:00
I'm just enjoying reading what everyone bought!
My last full bottle purchase was "Alien" by Thierry Mugler. I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I'm a sucker for purple bottles. :)
Posted by: Danielle | February 17, 2011 at 09:03
I bought an extra 100ml bottle of Opium (original)once I heard they had reformulated it.

My last purchase was Strange Invisible Perfumes L'Invisible, a back-up bottle. I'm curious about this Wild Elixir!
Posted by: Stacey | February 17, 2011 at 09:52
I wasn't going to play until I went and read the official notes - not a hint of fruit anywhere except for the mandarin at the opening, so here goes...
A bottle of MH Fleur du Matin should be delivered to my door today. Looking forward to wearing it this spring!
Posted by: OperaFan | February 17, 2011 at 09:54
My last fragrance purchase was a vintage 30ml My Sin ( never opened .
Posted by: Angela Cox | February 17, 2011 at 10:08
I enjoyed reading about everybody's purchases and can never resist a fragrance give-away. My last fb purchase was actually plural - SSS Lieu de Reves and Velvet Rose. I love Laurie's 17 ml bottles!
Posted by: Lexfordrose | February 17, 2011 at 10:13
For me it was Frederic Malle Bigarade Concentree. Helpful sales man told me 'oh yes, the French women wear it to play tennis'. Fabulous image! Sold.
Posted by: juliannelondon | February 17, 2011 at 10:17
My last full bottle of fragrance purchased was Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle eau de parfum spray.
Posted by: Cherie Gilbaugh | February 17, 2011 at 10:23
My last FB purchase was Travesee du Bosphore. It was a blind buy and it's perhaps a tad sweet for my taste but it's lovely in really cold weather (like we have here in Sweden now)
Posted by: Julia | February 17, 2011 at 10:24
My last FB purchase was Tolu by Ormonde Jayne, and this is what I'm about to put on right now for a long, long day ahead!
Thanks for the draw!
Posted by: Warum | February 17, 2011 at 10:45
My most recent full bottle purchase was Clinique (really Estee Lauder) Aromatics Elixir to replace a recently emptied bottle. As I always have a bottle on hand it doesn't really feel like it counts. I will be purchasing a 90% full bottle of Cannabis Rose (by Fresh) this weekend from an acquaintance since I've used up the very generous sample I had.
Nice to see that a number of the full bottle purchases have been Lauders; there's a lot of quality in that mainstream line, especially in the earlier releases.
Posted by: Lindaloo | February 17, 2011 at 10:46
I bought a bottle of Chanel 19 EDP for a gift. Didn't buy any perfume for myself this year. I have so much self-control! LOL!
Posted by: Rita | February 17, 2011 at 10:55
Hi V,
My FB purchase was early last summer just to replenish my summer staple Eau de Merveilles. I don't buy much anymore - maybe a bottle or two a year.
Posted by: gautami | February 17, 2011 at 10:57
I treated myself to Shalimar Ode de Vanille while in Paris. What a perfect delight.
Posted by: DRTVRMoi | February 17, 2011 at 11:20
My last FB was quite recent - the perfume oil Ilari from Indiescents. It's lovely!

Bond No. 9's Chinatown.

Vera Wang Anniversary. I rather like it. It's a rare perfume that I don't get sick of quickly.
Posted by: kuri | February 17, 2011 at 13:20
I bought Hermes Orange Verte. I wore it to bed last night. I think it will be inlove once it warms up in these parts.

Most recent purchase was L'Artisan's Traversee du Bosphore. I love the beautiful candied drydown! Please enter me in the drawing
Posted by: ElizabethC | February 17, 2011 at 17:02
My last FB purchase was Estee Pure White Linen, perfume. I just love the drydow! Estee usually works very well for me. And that's good; Living in a small town, limits easy availability of some of the niche fragrances. : ) Ahh the Internet- the great level-er!
Thanks!

My recent purchase was Guerlain-Tiare Mimosa.Please enter me in the drawing.
Posted by: Nora | February 17, 2011 at 17:20
Hard to remember my last full bottle - I've only been buying splits and decants lately. I believe it was Pacifica Lotus Garden (which is a very close dupe of Hermes Un Jardin Sur le Nil!).
Posted by: julie | February 17, 2011 at 17:26
My last full bottle purchase was Frederic Malle's Bigarade Concentree in December - an 80th birthday gift for my father! He LOVES it!
Posted by: Skilletlicker | February 17, 2011 at 17:35
What a swell opportunity... loving reading everyone else's purchases! Last FB here was Si Lolita by Lolita Lempicka. Cheers!
Posted by: Laura | February 17, 2011 at 18:08
A full bottle of l'Occitane Labdanum de Seville. My feelings for this one crept up on me slowly, from an initial reaction of "Nice but unremarkable" to a sample that I couldn't stop sniffing. Now I love wearing it. It's like the nice guy next door...you don't notice him for ages, but once you do...ah, well!
Posted by: axum | February 17, 2011 at 18:11
My most recent FB purchase Chanel Sycomore, in the huge size no less.. but I love it! Thanks
Posted by: CC | February 17, 2011 at 18:32
Last full-bottle purchase (not counting decants and gifts ... I've come into a lot of perfume lately!) was Mauboussin.
Posted by: Elisa | February 17, 2011 at 18:52
Opium. I've used it for a very long time and still adore it! Trying something different would be fun! Thanks for the opportunity!
