The 7 Virtues Afghanistan Orange Blossom, Noble Rose of Afghanistan & Vetiver of Haiti

What is it: 50 ml bottles of The 7 Virtues Afghanistan Orange Blossom, Noble Rose of Afghanistan and Vetiver of Haiti, used for testing only (they are 99% full). Three bottles, three winners: the first winner will get the fragrance of their choice, the second winner may or may not get the fragrance of their choice, depending on what the first winner chose, and so on and so forth.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment on the website telling me that you live in the US. Then list the three fragrances in your order of preference. And just for fun, tell us what fragrance you’re wearing today.

Quick reviews of three fragrances: Sonoma Scent Studio Forest Walk, Ayala Moriel Treazon and The 7 Virtues Afghanistan Orange Blossom. The theme: indie fragrances I’ve added to my buy list.

Sonoma Scent Studio Forest Walk

I tried Forest Walk when it came out earlier this year, and I liked it right away but it didn’t match my summery mood so I set it aside. Then, of course, I lost it, and had to tear my office apart to find it again — raise your hand if your perfume samples are in desperate need of reorganization!

Up for grabs: The 7 Virtues Middle East Peace + Make Perfume, Not War shirt

Posted by Robin on 8 October 2012 50 Comments — Comments are closed

Make Perfume, Not War shirt

What is it: A 50 ml bottle of The 7 Virtues Middle East Peace, used for testing only (it is 99% full), plus a t shirt with “Make Perfume Not War” on the back and a rose petal peace sign on the front (see image here). It is a size L, but I usually wear a S or M and it looks like it would fit me fine.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment on the website telling me that you live in the US. Also, please tell me about your favorite scent from The 7 Virtues, if you’ve smelled any of them. Otherwise, tell me about the last fragrance you tried and what you thought of it.
