Up for grabs: Tableau de Parfums Dark Passage
What is it: I have two unused 7 ml travel sprays of Tableau de Parfums Dark Passage, courtesy of Andy Tauer of Tauer Perfumes (so there will be two winners, and each one will get one bottle).
How do I get it: Tell me about your favorite iris perfume, or your favorite product from Tableau de Parfums or Tauer Perfumes. Or, tell me about a fragrance you really wanted, but it disappeared from the market before you could buy a bottle.
I will send these anywhere in the world, but will not be responsible for any customs-related mishaps.
