Kill for love when you're everybody's favourite lover

A little tidying here has turned up a couple of bottles of perfume which I no longer have use for - I've had them a while and my tastes have changed. My ability to wear perfume without lapsing into incoherent sneezing fits has also changed. There's not a lot of market for a half-full bottle of perfume, but it seems a shame just to throw it out. Does anybody happen to like/want either ?

The bottles are probably well past their smell-by date (if perfumes have such things), but they've been kept in the dark and still seem to be in excellent going order.

So...

Samsara (Guerlain)
Beautiful (Estée Lauder)

Anyone interested ?

Ooh, Samsara please, if it's still going! It's my favourite perfume, and I've not been near a Duty Free in a while...

Yup, you're on.

How should I get it to you ? Are you London based now ?

I'm hoping to be in London to meet a friend for dinner on Friday night, so if you were around for a post-work drink or something it'd be nice to catch up with you briefly.

Er, that is to say it'd be nice to catch up with you, and I'm afraid it'd have to be briefly. Not it'd be nice to see you, but only if I don't have to do it for long.

If you can't get rid of 'em, write the name of some awful indie goth band on a sticky label, stick it to the bottle and pretend it's a new BPAL scent. Then there'll be a queue to take 'em off your hands !

I'd have to dilute the perfume to fill the bottle up again - presumably with Ribena ?

Seems like a waste of good Ribena, but I guess authenticity is important.

No no, you put it in a lot of very small bottles. Then you can sell all of them for £2 each and get lots of money.

I make no attempt to counter that. It's fair comment.
