This is what happened: I got talked into participating in the 12 days of Christmas, and I chose December 2 to get it over it. Of course, I decided to pick a perfume for each person and write a little note for them, which is SO me. Of course, I was out of mini spray bottles so I couldn’t decant from my own stash, so out came all the samples. I think of myself as someone who likes to share, but it was hard to gift some of the samples I chose even though I didn’t think the perfumes were full-bottle worthy for me. Even though the samples get packed away, I sometimes feel like I might come back to them at some point, but I had to let go. It’s ok, I’m over it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wrote a card, taped a sample on the inside, and moved on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The hardest samples to choose were for the person I’ve worked with the longest and the one I don’t know very well, but once I chose the right one, it felt like it should have been a no-brainer. Some people got a sample based on the notes, some on the name, some based on the composition. It was fun but super time-consuming! I had to round up all the samples I have - from 2 separate cupboards, my purse, other places… and go through them to find the right one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will the people enjoy the perfumes? It doesn’t even matter right now. They’re off into the world to their new owners. But I enjoyed this whole thing so much, I might just make it a tradition. #fragcomm #perfumesamples #12daysofchristmas #perfumegift #holiday2021 #giftguide2021 #samplestash #useitup https://www.instagram.com/p/CXARwu5peyL/?utm_medium=tumblr
