HOUSEKEEPING
Entries Close Sunday 24th August 2013 10pm Australian EST and winners will be announced in a separate post Monday 25th.
Winners will be chosen by putting names on same sized papers, folded similarly, put on a tray and Jin will pick a winner.
The winners will have till Wednesday 28th August 2013 to get in touch (portia underscore turbo at yahoo dot com dot au) with their address or the prize will go to someone else.
No responsibility taken for lost or damaged goods in transit.
Special THANKS to LibertinePerfumerie for the So Nude Bottles. Please visit their site because they are so generous and helpful. If you wonder why they are more expensive than the discounters or OS retailers it’s because they are the only licensed company selling their fragrances in Australia; where you know you are buying new, fresh and genuine product. The cost of importing, and buying the right to import, alcohol based fragrances (and having the right to send alcohol based fragrances throughout Australia, which are illegal to send in the Australia Post air system) is expensive and they must cover their costs to bring you these luxury goods.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE,
Portia xx

You know what I did – I checked what the Fragrance Finder on the Libertine would suggest for me.
Three options popped out and I give you the first – L’Eau Neuve by Lubin! The others were Les Nuits d’Izu by Keiko Mecheri and Limes by Floris, and I gave Still Life by Olfactive Studio for a fragrance I am wearing at the moment – the most comfortable discovery for me this year!!!
Thank you for the marvellous giveway! I am following by email.
