For those who missed it, today, December 13, is EIC Michelyn Camen’s birthday. Now usually we, her friends, are supposed to be the one giving gifts but that just isn’t our Editor-in-Chief’s way. Instead she would want to share with the readers of CaFleureBon. Thanks to our good friends Eric and Stamatis at Parfum 1 we are offering a $150 gift certificate for a niche or natural perfume to one lucky reader as a surprise to Michelyn.
The Birthday Editrix- Michelyn Camen
To be the lucky winner of Michelyn’s Surprise Birthday Party $150 Gift Certificate you will have to go shopping for the Editrix who has everything. Head over to Parfum 1 where there is a great selection of niche, indie and natural perfumes and imagine you have two $150 gift certificates. Spend one of them on yourself and tell us what you would buy. Spend the second one on Michelyn. When it comes to Michelyn I can tell you the best places to start your shopping trip is on the Micallef page, or maybe the Etat Libre D’Orange page, or Mona di Orio, or Undergreen, or Providence Perfume Co., or Maria Candida Gentile; or suggest something you think the best smelling Editor-in-Chief in the blogosphere should be wearing. Choose only from these for Michelyn (she is after all, a bit of a niche snob). Don't forget Slumberhouse , Montale, Raymon Monegal, and L'Artisan Parfumeur… mmmm so many choices.
Have some fun doing some imaginary shopping all from the comfort of the internet and if you want to do some real shopping check out the latest gift guide on Parfum 1 “Don’t Panic!”
Finally just remember to yell “Surprise!” because I’m pretty sure she doesn’t suspect a thing.
To be eligible: leave a comment with your pick of one niche/natural/indie scent for Michelyn (extra points if you tell us why) and a few you would buy if you won the e certificate. The draw will close on December 16, 2012. We will announce the winner on December 17, 2012 so that he/she can have a great bottle in time for the holidays(the gift certificate is good for one year).
We announce the winners only on site and on our Facebook page, so Like Cafleurebon and use our RSS option…or your dream prize will be just spilled perfume.
