(Speak for myself - don't know if Fearless Leader has made other plans.) The more the merrier - and thanks for thinking of it, Mike!!

Quote: Originally Posted by mikeperez23 ...Ones I wanted to order, but ran out of days/money: Cafe Noir and Clementine Well, since it is the 'experience' that is important....and the fact that we are looking to make this a great resource thread for those seeking reviews and news of Ava luxe scents you could always do a second order and begin reviewing them ahead of time. ::whistles innocently:: I'm just saying you could...







Answer:
Count me in! I've got a truckload of Serena's samples...only thing that blocked me is that I like too many and couldn't make up my mind

Answer:
There are so many Ava Luxe frags to choose from and very few reviews in our directory. I think it would be really helpful if there were more reviews to read ( hint hint) I get overwhelmed when I go to the website to order samples because the all sound great to me! I have gotten some great recommendations but it is so helpful to be able to read a review.

I have gotten some great recommendations but it is so helpful to be able to read a review. I am hoping that this event / thread will inspire some great reviews which the writers will then modify and add to the Basenotes directory.

There is an added problem in the fact that at least 20 - 30 'popular' Ava Luxe blends are still not listed in the directory. I have been discouraged from requesting many of them as other missing perfumes I have submitted (both through the 'missing perfumes' forum and the missing scent directory form) have still not appeared - and this is after a few months. :sigh:

So hopefully, by this time next month, you will have many more tantalising reviews to help seduce you... Don't wait for the reviews though! Take advantage of the great 10% discount available until the 21st and order some of those listed below so that you don't miss the fun and can also be a part of the Ava Luxe Experience!!

Look forward to seeing you there!!

Answer:
Mine have been dispatched - not sure how long they will take to reach the UK as they have to go through customs.
I'm just a bit concerned my rash won't clear up in time.

Answer:
I'm new to write reviews & may not be very good at descriptions, but would love to join in the fun!

You are very welcome to join in the festivities (the more the merrier) and we are not looking for perfection - just to share our thoughts and feelings about this line of scents.

I don't think any of us profess to be experts here!



Answer:
Ok, count me in. I ordered quite a few samples and just got the package a few days ago. I didn't know about this thread when I was ordering them, but it was good timing apparently.
I've already tried a few of them and posted at thread about it in the Men's Discussion, but now that I've read this thread I won't try any more until the start date.
I got:
Kretek
Oude
Palisander
Black Tea
Fig Wood
Incense Rose
Kashmir Spice
Shisha
Cafe Noir
Fire Wood
Tokion
Opoponax
Nag Champa
Ava Luxe was very generous and included several extra sample vials for free, which was a nice surprise.
