NST giveaway (US only) ~ Avon + Christian Lacroix Absynthe

What is it: Three bottles of Avon + Christian Lacroix Absynthe. Two bottles are brand new and still in plastic wrap; the third bottle has been opened and I’ve decanted off one standard-sized sample (I keep the sample, you get the bottle). The opened bottle will go to the third winner.

Who can win: Any registered reader who has already left at least one comment on the site (see rule #1 below), who lives in the US (see rule #2 below) and who has not won an NST giveaway in the past 6 months.

Update: they’re all taken, congrats to OperaFan, asuperlongusername and helenviolette!

How to win: If you don’t know the rules, please take a moment to read the rules — they’re listed below. Then leave a quick comment saying I live in the US. Use the “Post a Comment” box (do not reply to another comment). I have used random.org to generate 3 numbers between 1 and 30. Once we have 30 comments, I’ll identify the winners, and they can send their mailing details to robin at nstperfume dot com.

The rules:

  1. Everyone who signs up to comment at Now Smell This has their first comment held for moderation. Comments on giveway articles are not moderated; if you are leaving your first comment on this site, there is no point in leaving it on this article as it will never show up. There is also no point in quickly leaving another comment somewhere else then coming back to this article to comment, as we don’t approve comments that quickly.
  2. If your comment does not say “I live in the US”, it will be deleted, sorry!

More fine print:

  1. Don’t forget to claim your prize by sending us your mailing details! If you don’t send us your address, we’ll eventually give your prize away to someone else.
  2. We will try to mail your package within 2 weeks.
  3. We will notify you when we’ve finally dragged ourselves off to the post office.
  4. Reasonable care will be taken in the packaging and mailing of your prize, but if the contents are lost or damaged or held up by customs or fail to please you for any reason whatsoever, we’re terribly sorry but we cannot replace them.
  5. Some people have complained about our method of holding giveaways. Apologies go out to anyone who finds it unfair, but this is the easiest way for us and so this is how we’ll continue to do it.
  6. We’ll probably add more rules later as we need them.

      MiWo, you won an earlier contest for ElizabethW Magnolia & never sent me your mailing details!

    I live in the U.S. I just bought a bottle of Fidji because I remember loving the scent when I wore it 18 years ago. I still like it, but the scent lasts about 15 minutes on my skin and I’m being generous. Any hints on why this may be happening? Denise

      If it’s that short-lived, I’d suspect you’re anosmic to one or more of the musks. It’s bound to have been reformulated since you last wore it 18 years ago.
