Lady Jicky ! After you've completed the order and proseed to thec heckout, after you've completed the filling in your address , filling in number 1,2,3,4, under N 5 there is a sign - " coupon code" fill it in. Hope it works.
I'm curious about what you are getting, unfortunately they don't have Patou 1000, i'm thinking about Chant D'Aromes, I never had one, I think I've tried it a few years ago at DJ, but they don't have it now, so I probably won't get any. I try to keep to the New Year resolution "No more blind buys"!

Thankyou Smelka. I have just ordered and they said the postage was "free" so BEMINE worked.
I got the sample bottle of Jess McClintock EDP $32.16 . That is for my Mum - its her favourite perfume with Jen's Rosine coming next in the race .
For me - 3 Balmains for a touch over $60 ! I love Madame Jolie ( have one bottle and need a back-up - Oh, OK - it was cheap! LOL) and I have Blind Ordered two more Balmains - I know what you are thinking but I could not help myself!!!!
Balmain de Balmain ( I think you wear this ???? If so - why do you like it? The little blurb sounded lovely to me so.........)
Miss Balmain - again , the blurb sounded like something I would like.
Thankyou for telling us about the "secret word" - how do you know that Smelka ? Are you in ASIO ??

LOL!, I ordered from them and they sent e-mail to their customers, as you see nothing as exiting as Asio,
strictly business, very mundane, I'm sure you'll start getting the same e- mails. But how did I know about it
the first time you might ask? Do you ever go to the " www.basenotes . net" - it is a very good sight with a lot of
information, they usually post about what the current discounts are. When you click on " basenotes", click
on the "community" than go down and click on " Discounts and coupon boards", and Viola! Lady Jicky would
be privy to the latest information, previously opened to the " very select few"!
I like Balmain de Balmain, there is something naughty about it for me, i never heard it being described like that, maybe I'm naughty myself?

I thought it was Bal de Balmain you had!
Mmmmm - Naughty Smelka??? No - not you!
Thankyou for the tip !

Thanks so much for that smelka, I took the plunge (I haven't shopped through them before) and ordered a 7.5 ml parfum of Ombre Rose.

Oh SueBurgess - Ombre Rose in Parfum !! I have never smelt it in parfum form but it must be lovely. Ombre Rose always reminds me of a patisserie shop in Paris. So sweet, yummy and rich. I think next time, I just might get a bottle too.
Smelka - this site is tempting and you said you where NOT NAUGHTY!! Oh yes you are! LOL

Hi Lady jicky, I couldn't resist at $45, the credit card came out of my purse so quickly.
I have the EdT and I truly adore it so I believe I'm in for a real treat with the parfum.
Lady jicky
Feb 10 2008, 03:06 AM
Sue , you just have to tell me what its like in the parfum form!!
SueBurgess
Feb 10 2008, 05:21 AM
I'll give it a go Lady jicky but I'm not very good at that kind of thing.
Lady jicky
Feb 11 2008, 03:33 AM
Oh Sue, you would be good! For example - champs Elysee by Guerlain. I had it in the parfum form when it came out and I never thought I would say this but the EDT is alot nicer! In Parfum it lost that light spring feel (no wonder they dumped doing parfum in it) . So - Ombre Rose - is it better in the parfum form or is the EDT the one you would only buy again?
I imagine the parfum will not be a let down in Ombre Rose - more stronger rose notes come out i wonder???

When It arrives I'll give you my thoughts, as you said I don't think it will disappoint. I hope not anyway.

Feb 11 2008, 05:42 PM
I have just had an email to say it's on it's way.
Have you heard from them yet Lady jicky?
Lady jicky
Feb 11 2008, 09:15 PM
Yes, I have but ...... we forgot to update the expire date on credit card - it was 3, 2008 and you were supposed to do the dropdown thingy and add 2009. We (husband and I ) remembered too late but the order went through. So we thought - OK.
Then we got the "your card is wrong" this morning. So ..... Emailed them and told them its fine but we forgot the 2009 dropdown . Have yet to hear from them.
So, it was coming but now............. who knows? LOL
Shouldn't be a prob. How ahead are we in Aust to the US Sue??

I'm sure they'll sort it out Lady jicky, time wise as I type this it is 1.50pm here in Adelaide and in NY it is 10.10 pm Monday night.

OK, I will tell you how we go. Its good to know how a company handles such things. if they become "pills" you tend to cross them off the list but so far they have been good.
Lady jicky
Feb 12 2008, 04:25 PM
They sent me a E-mail and the expirey date has been verified and I will get another E-mail when they post it off.
Great service and they really keep incontact quickly!

Feb 12 2008, 04:46 PM
