I am a US resident. Hothouse flower is a fave from Ineke. YAY!
Oh yes, I live in the US — so far from even Anthro normally (deep South). I’m working in CT at the moment, smelling historic gardens, and I really think that various dianthus get short shrift.
I live in the US.
I still cannot decide on a fave from Ineke — Balmy Days and Sundays, After my own Heart or Evening Edged in Gold?..
I would add Jack-in-the-Pulpit!
Thanks for a marvelous draw, I would love to win the Floral Curiosities… but I would love to give someone an opportunity to enjoy the Deluxe Collection since I went through two of those.
I live in the US and the only Ineke fragrance I’ve tried (but really liked) is Field Notes from Paris. Thanks for the contest.
I live in the US…I actually love Derring Do and Evening Edged in Gold…wouldn’t it be cool to do a fragrance based on Moon Flower??? (does anyone do a moon flower??)
I live in the USA. I love Derring Do and Hot House. I love how the fragrances are not so gender specific.
I would LOVE to see a really great tea rose fragrance. Here is why…When tea rose has been done in the past it is so over powering that it always comes across as having bathed in it.
Tea rose is such a smoky and mysterious scent that I’ve always wondered why it has not been explored more often. It has an amazing quality that can be played with due to its masculine and feminine traits.
Unfortunately too many companies in the past have made product that say ‘tea rose’ only to be an old lady rose.
I live in Los Angeles, where one of my favorite scents is night-blooming jasmine (cestrum nocturnum). The flowers are not much to look at and you won’t notice the bush in the garden. But take a walk on a warm night, with the evening’s damp slowly overtaking the dusty asphalt of day, and you might be lucky enough to wander into an invisible pool of the beautiful, mysterious “Queen of the Night”. No one has got that scent experience right, so Ineke should try!
I live in the US. I’ve always enjoyed Osmanthus as a fragrance note. Never tried Ineke, but I would love to win this set!
I live in the U.S. I would love a fragrance with a black locust flower note. It is my favorite flowering tree. I haven’t had the chance to try Ineke but I keep hearing good things.
I live in the US my favorite is Derring Do. I love winning things! I am familiar with Ineke because my wife is a perfume addict and loves this line of fragrances!
I live in the US, and yes, you can contact me. I would love to answer the “what should they do next” question, but the best smelling little white flower we have around here is a nameless weed that gets mercilessly mowed down out of hand. Given it’s appearance, I’d be willing to bet it’s an ipomoea, but whether it’s a morning glory or a potato or a whateverelseitcouldbe, I don’t know. They don’t stay open during the day though, and when the sun comes up you can watch the things close, if you have time. They smell absolutely gorgeous. So my vote would be for “That one in the grass right there!”
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke is After My Own Heart.
I live in the usa and do not have a favorite Ineke. Hoya plants are not always rare, but have some wonderful intense fragrances, there is one that smells like chocolate. You have permission to use my email and I would love to try more Ineke fragrances. Thank you for the chance.
I live in the US and you have my permission to use my email. My favorite Ineke is Derring Do. Thanx
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke fragrance is Evening Edged in Gold. Thanks!
I am a US resident. You may use my email. I reallly liked the Angel’s Trumpet.
Thanks for the give a way
I live in the U.S. and it has been a while since I smelled Ineke, but I recall liking Balmy Days and Sundays.
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke fragrance is Evening Edged in Gold
Yes I too live in the US you can use my email address. I LOVE pretty much anything INEKE! My favorites are Chemical Bonding I get tons of comiments when i wear it. Love Hothouse Flower so beautiful! It would be great to add this to my list of favorites!
I live in the US and I love Evening Edged in Gold. I’d love to see someone do a scent based on Nigh Scented Stock. (Penhaligon’s didn’t smell anything like it to my nose, which is admittedly not that sophisticated)
Thanks for a fun draw!
I live in the US and my favorite scent is “Field Notes from Paris”. My suggestion for a scent would be the flowers from a Basswood tree as it’s known here in MN. Otherwise also called Linden. Something soft and not overly sweet.
I live in the US and the only Ineke I’ve tried is Field Notes from Paris (which I quite liked, if I recall correctly). I really love the packaging. Thanks for the giveaway, Robin!
Thanks for the chance! I love Evening Edged in Gold, although Gilded Lily is also very nice. Floral I’d like to see her do … hmmm, how about wisteria?
Err, and I live in the U.S. And I already have the sample set, so if you happen draw me for that you can send to someone else who hasn’t had a chance to try these scents yet.
Hi! I live in the US, and I think Anthropologie should add silk tree flower (some call it mimosa) to their Floral Curiousities line. It’s such a great scent, and woefully underused. Thank you for the draw.
Thanks for the giveaway! I live in the US and you have permission to use my email. “After My Own Heart” sounds lovely – both the notes and the name!
I live in the US.
I have yet to find an Ineke fragrance that I like. Yet I still search…
I think a nice addition would be the osmanthus flower – one of my favorite flowers to smell, in a garden.
I live in the US and I love Scarlet Larkspur.Thanks!
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke is After My Own Heart. Thanks!
I live in the US and I’d love to see them do a linden blossom scent.
I live in the U.S. but not by an Anthropologie store so this is such a great giveaway! Thanks Robin! I would love, love to win this!
I’ve only tried one scent out of the FC line up there.. so, I would love to try the ones I haven’t tried..love.
My fave Ineke is An Evening Edged In Gold. I remember sniffing it at a perfume shop..where I just couldn’t find anything I liked. Then I sniffed Ineke scents and that one in particular..so very nice. And Field Notes is nice..that warm, sweet tobacco. I had a sample but went through it like cherry Pez..it was that good.
I hope that Ineke does a violet soliflore in her A-H line!!!! Or FC line, don’t care!:). And a jasmine in her A-H line. I know there’s Poet’s Jasmine-which I haven’t sniffed yet- but how abouts another jasmine in the A-H line? A jasmine soliflore like the Hothouse Flower..only jasmine! Can’t have too much jasmine I say! Anything but tuberose! Haha. But yes, violet! I would love to sniff an orange blossom or an amber-vanilla oriental as well!
Thanks Robin!
I live in the U.S. My fave is Balmy Days and Sundays.
I long for a mild, wild rose that includes the scent of dewy, sweet, freshly grated carrots.
Hello Robin and thanks for the draw. I live in the USA and hope that I win!! I am a newcomer to the Ineke line and fave is the last one I scored on the sale table at Anthropologie–Briar Rose. Love, love, love it.
I live in the U.S.
I do not have a favorite Ineke fragrance, as I have not yet smelled any of them. However, I love lily-of-the-valley, and it would be great if they could create a fragrance around it.
Hi Robin, I would love to win this as Anthropologie won’t ship perfume up to Alaska (we are part of the US
). I haven’t tried any Ineke perfumes, but I would love to see a nasturtium-inspired fragrance.
I live in the US and you can use my email.
My favorite is Field Notes from Paris. I’d love to try the florals line. I would love to smell a fragrance using sweet autumn clematis. Mine are still blooming outside and they are wonderfully fragrant this year.
Thanks for the draw, Robiin. I live in the U.S.
My favorite Ineki is Field Notes from Paris.
I live in the US. I love Derring Do and After My Own Heart. Ineke not only makes amazing fragrances, the packaging is divine. I love an iris note.
I still consider a full bottle of Field Notes from Paris. I live in the US. Thanks for hosting!
I live in the US, and in a rather remote area with no anthropoligie stores within many many miles and I’ve been badly wanting to try this collection since I like many of Ineke’s fragrances. My favorite is her lovely Evening Edged in Gold.
I live in the US and I would love to see a magnolia fragrance.
Hi Robin, I live in the US and you can use my email address. I haven’t had the chance to sample any of the Ineke fragrances, but the Sweet William sounds divine! It has all the notes I adore cinnamon, clove, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla. YUM!! Would love to try this!
The others sound beautiful also. Thanks.
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke is Evening Edged in Gold. Thanks for the draw!

I live in the US, and I’m happy to hear from you!
When I think rare botanicals, I think *rare*! So, I’m wondering what can be done with the green, dusty scent of some of the didicerae I encountered in Madagascar–no idea what the common name in English is for those! They’re sort of trees, but they look like they were drawn by Dr. Seuss.
I live in the US, and I don’t really know Ineke’s line. I would love to see a perfume done inspired by blueberry blossom. It is a heavenly scent, and I think many who are lucky enough to live near wild blueberry bushes would buy it by the gallon.
Thank you for the giveaway, Robin! I’m in the U.S. and you can use my email to contact me.
The only Ineke I’ve sampled so far is After My Own Heart, and it’s really lovely!
I live in USA and my favourite Ineke fragrance is Gilded Lily.
I live in the US.
I’ve only tried Ineke’s Floral Curiosities collection (at Anthropologie) so I’ll choose Briar Rose for a favorite.
I live in the US (moved a month ago!) and I think the collection would benefit from a Tiger Lily scent!
Sweet William is on my to buy list and I live in the US.
Fav so far: After My Own Heart! And I live in the US.
I live in the US.
Haven’t found a Ineke perfume that I want to bring home.
I think they should explore Mock Orange as a rare botanical or Cottonwood buds. Cottonwood buds infused in oil is intoxicating and it’s makes a great liniment.
I live in the USA and my favorite (that I’ve sampled) is Derring Do.
Hello, I live in the US, you have permission to use my e-mail address.
Linden blossom would be a gorgeous addition, not sure if it’s exotic enough to mention, though!
I live in the US. I haven’t tried any of the Ineke fragrances yet. I recently discovered I love the smell of viburnum, but haven’t seen it used much in perfumes thus far.
Hi, I live in the US. My favourite is Field Notes from Paris but I haven’t tried them all. Would love to!
I live in the US, and would love to see Ineke do a fragrance based on winter honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima).
I live in the US, and my favorite fragrance from Ineke is Field Notes From Paris. Thank you for the giveaway!
I live in the US. My mom has an anise hyssop plant that would make an interesting fragrance element.
I live in the USA. My favs from Ineke are Angel Trumpets .
I would like to smell a scent with angelica root.
I live in the US, and I’d love the chance to try some Ineke fragrances!
I haven’t so much as sniffed any of their perfumes so far, but I think they should add night-blooming cereus to their floral line. I’ve been looking for a soliflore cereus for ages!
I love Balmy Days and Sundays in the U.S., where I live, oh, and I like them in other places, when I travel. Thakns!
I’ve never tried an Ineke fragrance, but Field Notes from Paris is on my need-to-try list. If I don’t win I might have to treat myself to a sample set.
I live in the U.S.
I live in the US. My favorite is Field Notes from Paris. Thanks again for offering this giveaway.
I’m in the US, and you may contact me.
My favourite Ineke is Hothouse Flower, just gorgeous!. Thank you!
i love lilac, and it is so hard to find a good lilac scent. another scent I love is lavender, so hard to do and not smell too soapy. and it reminds me of southern France when I went away for a month one summer on an exchange program, and lavender was everywhere.
oh, and i live in the US
I live in the US and I reallllly like Hothouse flower. The sample I got is almost completely gone!
I live in the U.S. and I haven’t had the chance to try the Ineke fragrances yet. I would love for someone to take on the scent of a hoya lucunosa flower
I live in the US and you have permission to contact me using my email address. I know it’s not rare, and it’s not scented, but I would love to see an interpretation of the flor de nochebuena (Poinsettia flower to you English-speakers) or of various types of flowering cacti.
NP
I haven’t yet tried any Ineke frags, bit would love to. Botanicals? Petunia, elderberry blossom, hibiscus, pineapple sage. And I live in the US.
I live in the US, and I long to see a perfume interpretation of the four o’clock flower (Mirabilis jalapa). The four o’clocks of my childhood smelled like lemon bread pudding.
I live in the US! How about lily of the valley?
I live in the USA. I would love them to have a fragance of the SIlver Berry tree (Eleagnus angustifolia) because it has a very characteristic intoxicating scent and it has never been portrayed in a perfume, as far as i know. Thank you!
I live in the US, and the flowers of a Linden Tree or Chocolate Cosmos would be nice. Thank you!
Hi, I live in the USA and my favorite Ineke fragrance is Field Notes from Paris. MMMmmmmmm!
I live in the US and I’ve been wanting to try Sweet William. The packaging on these is wonderful
I live in the US, and I agree that Linden Blossoms might make for a nice addition. I’m still not sure how I feel about the line in general, but if I’d love to spend a little more time with these fragrances. Thanks for the draw!
Thanks for the draw, Robin!
I have yet to find a true apple blossom scent. They are neither rare nor unique, but are impossible to match in perfume. However, I would be happy if Anthro/Ineke choose one of the other suggestions of blueberry blossoms, linden, dianthus, or cottonwood.
I live in the US.
I live in the U.S. The rarest bloom with which I have had any experience is a night blooming cereus and it did have a distinctive scent, so . . . . it gets my vote.
What an exciting give-away! I live in the U.S. and my favorite Ineke scent is Evening Edged in Gold. I am curious about the Sweet William scent because I love carnation-type fragrances too.
Thank you!
Love Ineke! I own Field Notes of Paris and Evening Edged in Gold. Can’t wait to get to Anthropologie to try Sweet William. Thanks for the draw and I live in the U.S.
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke is Field Notes from Paris and thanks for another great draw.
I live in the US. I like Derring Do.
Hi! I live in the US. My favorite ineke scent is Evening Edged in Gold.
I am a US resident. Tending to favor more herb than floral, I would vote for a pineapple sage scent. I grew this plant in a large container for its gorgeous red blossoms but, their visual beauty was overpowered by the delicious scent of the leaves. Herbaceous and savory yet tinted by a pineapple sweetness. Just gorgeous and perfect for a hot summer’s day!
I live in the US. My favorite Ineke is Balmy Days and Sunday (I adore freesia). I love Ineke’s signature line, but I’ve never had a chance to try the Floral Curiosities.
I am a US resident. I really enjoyed Balmy Days and Sundays. I don’t think any of the ones they’ve put in the botanical collection so far have been rare or unusual, so I’m going to say Hosta. Most people don’t realize that Hostas have a lily-like flower that blooms every summer, and it’s a lovely, rich, creamy white floral with a hint of green.
I live in the USA. I would like a chaparral scent. The smell of a California hillside in September.
I live in the US! I’d like to see a Lady Slipper or Trillium fragrance because they are both native to the area where I grew up.
Thanks for another great giveaway.
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke is Evening edged in gold!
I really enjoy Hothouse Flower.
I sniffed it at the Artisan Fragrance Salon in San Francisco and almost bought a bottle, but my nose was a bit overwhelmed.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway.
I live in the US and my email address is sunnlittlane at yahoo dot com
I live in the U.S. My favorite Ineke is Evening Edged in Gold. Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the US. It isn’t a rare botanical, but I’d love to smell Ineke’s version of a magnolia. I’m sure there’s a rare variety of magnolia out there to incorporate into the line.
Hi Robin. I live in the U.S. My favorite Ineke scent is the new Hothouse Flower!
I’m a U.S. resident (Ineke’s city of San Francisco!) and I really loved Chemical Bonding. One of the few citruses I wear.
Live in US.
Havent tried any Ineke yet
I am a US resident, San Francisco in fact! I love the A)fter my own Heart. For a new scent, I would love a clove pink, or maybe a lilly of the valley
I live in the US and I’d love to smell a perfume based on Sweet Pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia)…such a nostalgic evocation of midsummer afternoons.
I live in the US.
It is so hard to choose a favourite but I’ll go with Evening Edged in Gold!
I live in the US & I can’t decide between Sweet William or Evening Edged in Gold as my favorite. Thank you for the chance to win!
I am from Kansas City, Missouri, USA. I bought our first Ineke perfume sample set for my wife after we had our first daughter (her name is Ineke). She loves shopping at Anthropologie, and we are so glad to see the success of both companies.
I have always had a special place in my brain for tuberose. I know it is a powerfully sweet smell, but just a hint of it brings back memories of family, summer sun, and childish fun.
I live in the US, but rather far from an Anthropologie, sadly. I haven’t been lucky enough to try any Ineke fragrances but think orchid would be a lovely scent although it’s not particularly rare.
I live in the US and I would really like to try Angel’s Trumphet
I live in the U.S, but I’ve never been able to try an Ineke fragrance. I’d love a fragrance that smells like an actual lilac, not like air freshener or toilet bowl cleaner.
I live in the US! I would love to see wild anise as a Floral Curiosity- at least I think that’s what it is. It’s a wild plant that I remember from my childhood near the California coast. Sometimes when I visit at the right season, I catch a whiff of a spicy yet fresh green scent, always near the beach.
I live in the US and my favorite scent is “Field Notes from Paris”. Thanks for the drawing!
I live in the US. Of those released, I’m most curious about Sweet William. Where I’m from they’re called “Pinks”, and we used to stop to smell them on walks through the neighborhood.
My favorite is “Field Notes from Paris”…it is so unusual. I had a lot of fun smelling my wrists!
I live in the U.S.
Hi Robin, Live in the U.S.
I’m not sure if it’s Ineke, but the last fragrance that I bought at Anthropologie was Silk Road Caravan. Get tons of compliments.
I’d like them to experiment with ‘darker’ scents; most of the stuff they have are too floral-y.
I live in the US. Certainly you can write to me at my email address. I haven’t tried anything from Ineke, would love; of course. If I could ask for a perfume built around a rare botancial ingrediant it’d have to be ginger. I know it may not be technically rare, but it is rare in that try as i might I have yet to meet a ginger perfume that smells bitter like the root and not sweet like a ginger bread cookie.
I live in the US. My favorite Ineke fragrance is Hothouse Flower. Thanks for the draw!
Hi Robin,
I live in the US and I’m not super familiar with the entire Ineke line, but I’d love to see them do an osmanthus fragrance.
Thanks for the giveaway,
Trish
I live in the US and like Chemical Bonding. Great giveaway. Thanks.
I live in the US and you have permission to use the email address on file. Favorite Ineke fragrance is Evening Edged in Gold, hands down…even the name is beautiful
I live in the US, and my fav scent is Poet’s Jasmine!
I live in the US hothouse flower gardenia soliflore
I live in the US and really like Poet’s Jasmine.
This looks like a fun little set. Perhaps Ineke would consider the peppery scent of nasturtium leaves? Or the scent of quince? Or even the scent of catalpa flowers….
I live in the US and I am quite familiar with Ineke’s offerings. I love the new packaging for the Floral Curiosities collection. Poet’s Jasmine is my favorite from that collection and Field Notes in Paris is my favorite from her signature line.
I live in the US. Poet’s Jasmine is the only one I’ve tried, but it didn’t make much impression on me. I think the next “rare botanical” they should add is cilantro! Okay it’s not a flower, but still I think it could be interesting as the phrase “botanical” usually brings to mind smells of cilantro or mint.
I live in the US and my favorite Ineke might just be her new Sweet William.
I live in the US.
I prefer the Poet’s Jasmine. It is so unique, especially for a jasmine scent!
I am a US Resident. Just received a sample of hothouse flower in my beauty army box and am in love. WIll definatley be putting this scent on my birthday/christmas list this year if I can hold out that long! Would love to try more of the fragrance line.
