So, for those of you who participated in the 4th freebiemeet, how did it go? Feel free to tell us what you got, and whether or not you loved it.
Our next freebiemeet will be in January.

For me it went brilliantly, received a large decant of Infusion d’Iris, and lovely surprise samples including a gorgeous soap sample. Thank you Zara!
NST types are pretty lovely, aren’t they?
They are!
It was great! I got and gave a lot of great perfume, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole process.
This has been fantastic for me. I received a big box of samples, including By Kilian GGGB and Penhaligon’s Peoneve (plus a beautiful vase) from Laurels and a Birchbox full of Badescu skincare samples and makeup from JamieDCHill.
I’m really appreciative of this process. Thanks, NST, for arranging!
I cleared out some of my own samples and received a lovely package of surprises from Hajusuuri! Amongst them were CSP Amour de Cacao, Chanel 19 extrait, and Slumberhouse Pear &Olive, all of which I’ve wanted to try. I have on Pear & Olive now and I’m really liking it. Does smell like an expensive gourmet market as someone on here described it (Robin?) Thanks Hajusuuri!
Wasn’t me! But glad you got a great package.
I got a surprise mix of samples and so it was fun to receive and see what would be in there. A couple of the samples I was familiar with but the others were new which made for enjoyable testing.
I want to thank farouche and hajusuuri for their generous gifts.
I think this is the freebiemeet after the one I received packages for, but I can’t locate episode 3.
Many thanks again !
I think I never did a follow-up for 3, and possibly 2. Sorry!
I love freebie meets. I gave things that I was happy to move along, and got many lovely samples to try. Some are for me, and now I already have the start of what I will offer at the next swap or freebie meet! Of all the things, Rose Chypree and Une Fillle de Berlin stand out – suddenly I have a stable of Rose Scents to wear, these along with Rose Infernale and the Mohur extrait others have given me make me singularly rich in Roses!
I have just finished grad school, and these freebie meets have been so wonderful while I’ve been student-level broke. There is just nothing like that feeling of opening a package of exciting samples. This time I picked up decants of Le Labo Aldehyde 44, which I did really love! And SL Feminite du Bois, which I was excited to try on my boyfriend since he has been wearing Miller & Bertaux #1 and that hilarious Tania Sanchez review says they’re basically identical. They kind of are! but we are liking the SL a bit better (possibly because my bottle of the M&B is hopelessly old and I bought it when I still thought it was ok to display your perfumes in a sunny spot.) AnnE was kind enough to throw in some extra samples and so I have been having a delightful time. Thanks for running these freebie meets!
Received some, sent some… enjoyed it all! In fact, thanks to enabler Missionista, I ordered a full bottle of Matin D’Orage I found cheap! Never got one freebie from the last meet, but hey, its free! I wrote to the sender in case she sent it and it just got lost in the mail.
Sent some, received some things I’ve been wanting to try for a while (thanks AnnE!) A good time was had by all 🙂
I sent out a few packages and was very gratified by the enthusiastic responses. :). The recipients were profuse in their thank-you’s, and I’m so glad to have been able to do it. Thanks for setting it up, Robin!
I was one of your lucky recipients, AnnE! Received many wonderful scents to try from you and also from the awesome allgirlmafia. The whole experience was wonderful. A big THANK YOU to all involved!
Also a recipient – you’re amazing! 🙂
Similar to Regina, I am also finishing grad school, and I was a big mooching taker this time around (I am generally always a giver as well except for this one time, so I don’t feel horrible). I got some amazing samples, Hermes Vetiver Tonka, Chanel Misia, Demeter Ginger Ale are some that stand out to me. Being a broke grad student makes this like Christmas! 🙂
I know I’m a little late, but I just wanted to say thanks to NST for these lovely little meets. Everyone here is so generous, and like many above, I am a broke student and this is just so much fun. Annie and Elisa both sent me lovely, lovely samples and were so generous. Every interaction with the NST folks is truly a delight.
Late (replying) as usual, and I realized that I haven’t yet sent out thank you notes, either. I got two gorgeous decants from Hera, and a little box of amazing samples from Pixel that makes my heart beat faster just looking at it. I’m glad that I could send a few things out, as well. Luckily our current mail carrier (we get a new one every couple of months) seems to be a good one.
