I am looking for samples of vintage and new perfumes, skincare, hair care and cosmetics:


I am interested in acquiring samples. I would like to review these items on my blog. Some perfumes have been discontinued for so many years that there might not be any info about them or notes listed, I would try to list any notes that I detect while reviewing a sample. To send me a donated sample, just contact me thru the contact me page and let me know so I can send you my address. I am interested in any ladies fragrances, cosmetics, hair care or skincare products. If you do have Avon products you'd like me to try, then you can send them as long as they aren't perfumes, they make me sneeze!


If you have a book, bottle, powder box, company catalog, auction catalog, or any ephemera and want to donate them, email me at cleopatrasboudoir@gmail.com and I can send my address.
