Ho Ho Holidays, The Festive Fragrance Gratis Thread!

[Mochapj]

A little birdie told me that Santa's sleigh is touching down early this year and some of our active community members have a holiday gratis parcel en route.

Please feel free to use this thread to share your holiday gratis unboxings and let us all know what you think of this sweet surprise gift 🙂

Thank you, as always to @TeamBIC for putting together these wonderful opportunities that celebrate our members of the BIC community.

Can't wait to see what everyone got!

@fatimamummy aw thanks, I feel I’m lacking in perfume terminology but I’m glad what I’m smelling is coming across. 
They are soooo similar:D. Orange Sanguine is slightly more bitter than The Floral Street, but with the Floral Street the orange peel smells more fresh and prominent.  I can’t decide which I like more.

@heartsmyface Your description of the perfumes is spot-on and I was going to wait for the sale on the 3rd to purchase the Gucci one. Congrats and enjoy!

[heartsmyface]

@AznAngelLiz I’ve had the Gucci in my cart since it came out and I kept taking it out to make  purchases cause blind purchasing florals hasn’t often worked out for me- (unless they're Aerin florals)

Congratulations, @heartsmyface! I love your descriptions of the perfumes.

@heartsmyface  Congratulations!! I’m so happy this was a good start to your Christmas season!! 

[heartsmyface]

@ather  Thank you!  I’m not quite ready for Christmas carols yet but maybe it’s time to start baking;) 

[CookieGirl1]

Those were fabulous descriptions, @heartsmyface!  Hope your pillows are enjoying their fragrance makeovers 😂

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1   I am running a load of laundry just for the cushion covers as I type.  Haha, i should have known better. 
aaaaand this is a sign I need to pull out the Christmas decorations and find the Christmas covers

@heartsmyface 

Your descriptions are spot on! Congrats!! I find Floral Street Sunflower Pop Eau De Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL to almost be like Clinique Happy but a much more “bright” version. 

[heartsmyface]

@GG84 Ha, Clinique Happy was my high school scent!  I used to mix it with Body Shop satsuma oil so my memory of it is maybe skewed a bit.  I haven’t smelled it in so long but yeah it also had that invigorating scent of fresh peeled oranges.   🙂

Congratulations @heartsmyface! ❤️

[heartsmyface]

@faeriegirl   Thank you!  You too!!!

Oh my but those bottles look like little works of art @heartsmyface! 

[heartsmyface]

@CarolBT   Aw thanks!    The boxes are the REAL works of art though!!

Oh wow, @TeamBIC. I don’t think I have ever been so stunned - speechless, actually -  by a surprise this extravagant! 

If I had any question as to which perfumes I would be wearing this winter…I think this picture pretty much sums it up. It will take some time to fully absorb this, and that will be an absolute joy💗 Everything here is new to me, although I wore Chloé Roses De Chloé Eau de Toilette  for a time, so I am curious to see how the Chloé Chloé Naturelle Eau de Parfum 1 oz/ 30 mL Eau de Parfum Spray compares.

I couldn’t resist opening the KILIAN Paris Apple Brandy Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray immediately to get a feel for the bottle. It is gorgeous. Kilian recently held a holiday virtual class in which he shared some of the background and thought processes that went into creating this scent. Now I want to go back to rewatch it so I can more fully appreciate it! 

Thank you, from the bottom of my beauty-loving heart, @TeamBIC, @CarolBT, @GeorginaBT, @DaneeBT, @JaneanBT🥰
